Join us April 28th-30th, 2023
Join us for a weekend of beauty and light as we fill our souls and hearts with all the plant magic. This weekend is focused on renewing and aligning our energies with healing plant magic and body and soul care.
Come deepen your connection to the strength of your plant allies in a serene setting. Rejuvenate the mind and spirit in the morning and evening within the glow of the Appalachian foothills, and their nourishing nature with rocks, rivers, medicinal trees and plants during this immersive weekend.
We’ll find mindful movement inside and out. Through foraging, creating and enjoying plant-based self-care goodies. We will learn to embody plant and elemental rituals to root, release and celebrate ourselves, one another, and the plant's medicine and spirit.
This weekend will include the following, plus a few surprises:
Medicinal Plant Deep Dives and Spring Foraging
Plant Spirit Yoga & Guided Sound Baths in the Pine Forest
Herbal Crafting - making herbal wands, crowns and handmade herbal creations
Fresh Teas + Nourishing Meals with foraged plants and snacks provided all weekend long.
Join Colleen O'Bryant and Jenn Mintz, our herbalists and plant spirit guides to deepen our connection with and celebration of plants, trees, land and what it means to "be embodied" and honor our beings as we are.
Our experience will be hosted at In True Nature Wellness Sanctuary in Boston, VA.,15 minutes east of Sperryville and west of Culpeper, nestled on a hilltop with views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, surrounded by fields, pine and hardwood forests, creeks and a tiny pond.
