ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE
A Journey with the Living Element
Water is life. Without it, none of us could survive.
Sacred Waters is a gentle, restorative retreat inviting you into a conscious, intimate relationship with the element of water. As water mirrors our emotional world, this journey offers space for deep inner work — releasing what no longer serves you and opening to what your soul most deeply longs for.
Through guided practices, we will learn how to clear, bless, and consciously structure water, supporting not only our own emotional bodies but also Mother Earth and her precious water systems. This is a space of balance: a place where you will both receive nourishment and give something back.
Together, we will visit sacred waters such as holy wells, lakes, waterfalls, and, where possible, the ocean — allowing each place to speak in its own unique way.
Each Sacred Waters retreat takes place in a different location. Please check the specific details of the upcoming event for exact sites and itinerary.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
There will be a significant amount of walking, and Assisi is built on a hillside, which means plenty of steps and steep paths both up and down.
The hike up the sacred mountain to the hermitage takes nearly two hours and is very steep, with rocky terrain. Please only sign up if you feel physically prepared for these challenges. We will cover many miles throughout the pilgrimage.
