Program
A Weekend of Transition and Ritual with Shaman Molly Maguire
Overview
Spending time in nature helps us reconnect with our inner wisdom — especially as we transition from the outward energy of summer into the quiet introspection of autumn. Through earth-based shamanic practices including fire-side conversation, water ceremony, and despacho ritual, experienced practitioner Molly Maguire will guide you in releasing what no longer serves and aligning with the rhythm of the season. These intimate gatherings offer a powerful opportunity to ground, reflect, and move into fall with clarity and intention.
