Our Prayer for this Ceremony & Retreat:
We’re honored to share an invitation from our dear friend and master ceremonialist Jens Jarvie:
A New Year’s Retreat on the Sonoma Coast (about 45 minutes from Sebastopol), rooted in the Shipibo tradition and held with great care, love and reverence.
This circle will be guided by our dear friend and trusted ally, Jens Jarvie, our fellow Shipibo maestro Ramiro Orrantia, our musician Tara, and ourselves, Robin and Alicia York.
Together we’ll offer a prayerful space with songs that guide us into the heart of love, ceremony, and thoughtful integration.
Across our days together, you can expect:
Ceremony in the Shipibo tradition, accompanied by a living tapestry of medicine songs.
Morning movement, despacho, nature contemplation, Shipibo chanting classes and wisdom-tradition Q&A.
Cacao ceremony, song circles, and integration councils.
Nourishing meals and time to land on this beautiful stretch of coast.
