Awaken to the Sacred Cycles of Mother Earth!

Join spiritual mentors, Shawn Stevens and Shannon Chada, for a 3-day retreat honoring the ancient wisdom of the Original Native People of this sacred land.

Follow us through the doorways of an Indigenous mindset and step into the sacred circle of the 13 Moons of Turtle Island, where each moon reveals wisdom & ceremony for walking in harmony with the Earth.

Guided by Indigenous teachings and storytelling, this retreat invites you to reconnect with nature's rhythms, honor the seasons, and discover meaningful ways to bring gratitude & ceremony into your daily life.

Together, we will walk month by month through the 13 Moons, awakening balance, healing, ancestral connection and a deeper sense of belonging.

You will:

• Learn the teachings of each of the 13 Moons of Turtle Island.
• Deepen your connection to Earth's natural rhythms and seasons.
• Explore Indigenous storytelling, celebrations, and ancestral wisdom.
• Discover authentic ways to bring sacred cycles into your daily life.
• Honor Mother Earth's transitions as portals of renewal.
• Awaken balance, healing, and belonging within the circle of life.

Return home with a renewed sense of harmony, along with grounded tools to continue aligning with the rhythms of nature in your everyday life.

NOTE: This program welcomes everybody, and the wisdom shared respects all diversities. We also offer a companion retreat, Indigenous Wisdom: Empowering Your Spiritual Path, which focuses on navigating the four sacred hills of life, 7 Elder Teachings, and reclaiming your spiritual compass. These two retreats are beautifully complementary, each standing on its own while together building a deeper connection to Indigenous knowledge and wisdom.
