The Nature Pilgrimage
Join us this Summer in Boyne City, Michigan and visit The Rooted Goddesses and Other Nature Spirits!
The Nature Pilgrimage places you at a threshold of looking for a thread to begin moving towards what it is you truly care about. You will also be looking at what you desire to release from your life. It is a time in solitude to listen to your sweet self.
Every third Friday and Sunday of the month, starting in June through September.
Let’s talk about your Journey…
The pilgrimage in Boyne City, Michigan begins by choosing one of the seven contemplative site you would like to visit.
At six of the sites there are three Rooted Goddesses or Nature Spirits. Each one has a story and questions for you to contemplate and journal. You will spend an hour with each Rooted Goddess or Nature Spirit.
One site is a comfort spot, where you will have time to read, journal, contemplate your life. As you sit in the contemplative sites you will be considering what you want to release from your life and what you want to bring in to your life.
You will then prepare for a fire ceremony with a forest hag and a pine cone. The forest hag will carry what you want to release and the pine cone will carry the intentions you want to bring into your life.
Only one slot is available per day, subject to contemplative site and date availability.
“A pilgrimage is a transformative journey to a sacred center… It is a journey of risk and renewal… There is something sacred waiting to be discovered on the journey.”
— David Whyte
