Salt of the Sea is a remembering, a re-centering, and an epic adventure of the psyche
Source the well of women’s ancestral wisdom as it connects to your modern life. Soulful, innate, alive – remember the parts of you that, like the tides, respond to the rhythms of the moon.
Salt of the Sea is a 2-day deep dive of your inner life and authentic emotional expression. Taken by thousands of women, this immersion is like wayfinding for the soul.
Watery, dreamy, instinctive, Salt of the Sea is an enchantment that evokes direct, intimate contact with your essence and a different way of knowing yourself.
Salt, one of the Earth’s most fundamental minerals, will guide you to:

Surrender to your longing, like the sea is called by the rhythms of the moon
Embrace the bittersweet, poignant, and sometimes acutely painful beauty of feeling fully alive
Trust your instinctive knowing, your native tongue, your wild unknowable mystery

During the course remember how to flow with your inner rhythms and creativity in a deeply nourishing space. We’ll share our unique feminine framework and processes that facilitate soul work at the deepest levels so you can live more fully from a place of internal strength, authenticity, and knowing.

Preparing for the Weekend
Before attending the Level I class there are a few basic things to do to be prepared for a great weekend. The below guidelines will allow you to received the attunements in a more conscious manner. They are guidelines and not judgments. So we ask that you check in with your intuition and body and follow that over the suggestions below.

No alcohol or any form of drug at least 48 hours before class. (These substances are known to hinder the flow of energy in the body as it creates density.)
Avoid, junk food, sugar, processed meats at least a week before class. (Highly Processed foods takes more energy to digest and depletes you of vital energy needed for this class.)
Avoid red meat at least 24 hours before class. (It would be ideal if you can avoid meat all together for at least 24 hours before class.)
If possible meditate each day for a week before class.
Walk in Nature in silence.

Give yourself plenty of time on Friday to avoid any stress in getting to the retreat center.
