Our Prayer for this Ceremony & Retreat:
Through this work, we are continually confronted with our own imperfections and humbled by the awareness of our own divinity.
This medicine is a powerful & sacred tool: it illuminates our inner being and gives us perspective into the many layers of our subconscious. This, in turn, can have positive, life-changing effects on our habitual patterns and beliefs. Beyond the re-orientation of these outdated patterns is the gift of building connections that support the continuous unfolding and deepening of our inner knowing.
There is no limit to the growth that any one soul can experience in a lifetime. Yet it takes digging deep and a willingness to recognize our conditioned patterns to step into that liminal space of infinite growth.
We have found that the profound nature of this work is best served by an environment where everyone feels comfortable enough to be truly vulnerable with one another.
For this reason, we do a thorough screening process to ensure a secure container for all participants.
We strive for our maloca to remain an open, benevolent, compassionate, and supportive refuge where you can come as you are and bring your full self forward.
In this way, our maloca is a sanctuary for honest reflection, deep self-inquiry, and communion with the natural forces of this sacred existence. It's not about simply showing up, it’s about opening into the vastness of the void from which the infinite is born. This is the place where wounds transform into wisdom through the alchemy of witnessing and of presence.
Integration is more than sharing our journey; it is the foundation through which we ground our insights into daily life, becoming aware of where our soul substrate is still pulled in opposite directions. The true essence of integration is to unite and become whole.
This wholeness is rooted in a sense of belonging and communion with the deep inner call of our true purpose. This is not something we get from the world, but rather, what we're willing to give; it is the remembrance of our divine stewardship in which we work on behalf of something greater than ourselves.
We acknowledge the divinity in each of you and honor your choice to work with us. We are not here to fix you, nor to over-help. We are here to serve by supporting the expansion of that divine essence within, and especially as it relates to those parts of yourself that may still struggle to fully accept your own unconditional love.

Rest and Reconnect with Nature
Nov.21st - Nov. 23rd
Upper Ojai, CA, USA
Nestled into the votex of Ojai, this unique east-west facing valley has long been held as a prayerful place that supports deep spiritual attunement and transformation. For those of us who lucky to call this place home, it is truly a sanctuary.
In this magical, quiet valley we are encouraged to pause and rest deeply into consciousness. Here, we are invited to recharge and remember our sacred purpose and our inherent nature as multidimensional beings, first and foremost.
The Chumash viewed the Ojai Valley as a sacred place, a "nest" of fertile ground —
Their ancestral presence can be palpably felt throughout this valley, inviting us to listen intently and commune with each other through the time-honored wisdom of prayers, ceremony, music and the celebration of each other's divinity!

About the event
We sit in the traditional Shipibo way. This will be a special weekend of prayer, reflection and soul-centered healing.
Join us for this transformative weekend of ceremony, community, and inner reflection, where the ancient wisdom of the "Nete Rao" (the world of the plants) calls us to listen more deeply to the presence of Spirit our lives. At the heart of this experience is a sacred practice of purification, connection and communion.

Testimonials
I have now attended four retreats with Robin and Alicia, and I could not feel more lucky to be able to work with them. The different gifts they each possess allow them to see individuals in their unique light. They hold space to help process those things we all have hidden within us in order for us to self-actualize.
Working with Robin and Alicia has been more beneficial to me than years of therapy; through recognizing old patterns that keep me stuck, connecting with, processing, and releasing deep emotions, and helping me see the pure light we all possess. While it is each individual who must walk the path to healing, their insights, support, and vast experience are invaluable along the way. I look forward to continuing this path with them.
— Lynn C.
I want to share that Robin is an absolute loving, caring, genuine human being who puts so much effort, care and dedication into meeting the needs of all the participants. He’s a 100% heart and a true pleasure to be in presence with.
Alicia is amazing in her skill and capacity in bringing the group field into a focused, intentional vibration, to bringing the group field to its edge, and to really pull out that essence of dedicated transparency and vulnerability. Together, they really create a space where we can drop into the depth of the work.
— Jens J.
Through this work, I was able to really get to some core truths and follow that path the whole way down instead of getting stuck at my inner blocks like I have so many times before.
— Meggie S.
The retreat helped me to see my truth and live my truth by showing me hidden things that needed attention, - and where I still need to do some homework."
— Darius V
