Intention

Our intention for this retreat is to guide you through the process of reconnecting with your ancestral roots and stories, fostering a profound communion with both the earth and the spirit world. Embrace the wisdom of those who walked before us, and delve into the spirit connections that link us from earth to earth, from ancestors to fae, to our spirits.

Why Attend?

"Return to Earth" is more than just a retreat; it is a pilgrimage into the depths of your soul's lineage. If you seek to heal deeply from ancestral patterns and stories, this retreat offers a sacred space to do just that. Here, you will find:

  • Connection with Ancestral Wisdom: Engage in practices that help you uncover and honor the stories and wisdom of your ancestors, allowing for profound healing and understanding.

  • Healing Ancestral Patterns: Identify and release inherited patterns that no longer serve you, creating space for new growth and transformation in your life through shamanic practices, rebirth ceremonies and 1:1 & community support.

  • Embracing Your Gifts & Empowering Your Path Forward: Through the release comes the rebirth. We will hold transformational shamanic ceremonies that activate your deep remembrance of your gifts and power so you can leave holding a new energy.

  • Communion with Nature and Spirit: Through rituals and ceremonies rooted in the earth, connect with the natural world and the spiritual realms, grounding yourself in the present while honoring the past.

  • Personal Transformation: Experience deep personal transformation as you journey through a blend of shamanic practices, ancestral therapy, and earth-based rituals designed to heal and empower.

  • Community and Support: Share this journey with a like-minded community, creating bonds of support and understanding as you collectively explore and heal your ancestral roots.

This retreat is designed for those who feel called to explore the depths of their lineage, seeking to heal and transform inherited wounds and stories. Whether you are new to ancestral work or deeply familiar with these practices, "Return to Earth" offers a space to deepen your understanding and connection.

Let us gather, heal, and return to earth together.

TESTIMONIALS

  • I'm not long home from my first training/ retreat with Skye and my heart and soul are full. It's the first time I've met Skye and I immediately felt cocooned in her beautiful love and guidance. Skye is passionate about sharing her practices and knowledge and made me feel safe, supported and seen throughout each experience. If you are lucky enough to share space with Skye, your life will be enriched in every way. I can't wait to share sacred space with her again soon.

  • I LOVED the retreat so much. Every detail was thought of and I felt so held and supported. This time also delivered way more than I could ever have wanted too. So many beautiful surprises that delighted my inner child and my creativity. Skye holds space in such a playful, flowing way, with so much ease and delicious energy. Her absolute delight in creating these spaces is very evident. She is an inspiration. It would highly recommend any space she offers! I have 100% faith all will be created with so much love, joy and beauty.

    Amelia

  • This was a week of pure magic, of alchemy. The whole experience flowed with the spirit of cacao. Skye created such a powerful transformational vessel that held us all in love, yet pushed us all to grow, transcend and expand. Skye is a devoted teacher and facilitator. Being witness to and beneficiary of her devotion was inspiring - there was such richness and detail crafted into every moment. Skye is such a being of light. She weaved together a deep and potent space that also managed to be light hearted! I really treasure the experience I had learning from and with Skye

    Eleanor

  • As someone that also works as an energy healer, I highly recommend working with Kate. In a single session, we identified all of the blocks that I had in relation to career and success, as well as talked about exercises I could do in order to clear those blocks and open my chakras. In the session, I had a few intuitive hits, giving me three ideas for my business, and have begun to develop and flex my confidence muscle, and realigned with the nudges coming from my inner voice and intuition. At the end, after reassessment, things had begun to clear up! She definitely knows what she's doing, and her sessions are fantastic!

  • Kate is a powerful healer. I had a session with her two days ago and I am still feeling fantastic!! She cleared my solar plexus using aromatherapy, bells, and shamanic healing. I felt the negativity leaving and it was such a relief.

    Shanan

  • I made the best decision of my life the day I decided to give Kate a chance. She has helped me mentally, physically, emotionally and made everyday life so much more bearable. She is an amazing human being and I love our sessions.

    Malisia

  • I really enjoyed working with Kate and the other individuals in my Empath Energetics group. This healing container seemed to be just what I needed during a very difficult time in my life. To say Kate is intuitive is an understatement. She asked me if I wanted to be a part of it and knew I needed it well before I did. The themes, concepts and discussions were strangely relevant to my life at the time. Each week I felt a new unfolding and stronger sense of confidence with each performative layer I shed. Sometimes it's as much about the 'unlearning' as it is about learning. 10/10 recommend working with Kate if you feel the nudge!
