The Juniper Retreat

The Juniper Retreat was awesome! We created a week of living in an intuitive culture that was so deeply aligned with the rhythms of nature. Upon waking, we sipped our hot mugs of herbal tea before venturing off to our medicine spots to slowly wake to the rising sun and the singing birds. During the days, we baked bread, made homemade butter and hearty soups to sustain us during the week. We collected plants for dyeing wool and yarn, felted medicine bags and collected roots and berries for our medicines. I think my favorite part of the retreat, was entering into the tepee for our nightly women's lodge. It was the perfect ending to each day, as we stoked the fire and found comfort in the wisdom of the words and stories we shared. I am already looking forward to next year's Juniper Retreat and hope that more young women can join us!
