Welcome to A Fool's Journey:

A Northern California 2008 Equinox Restorative and Retreat

for Women and Men

September 25 - 28, 2008 

 

 

Take a leap and spend four days and three nights in Northern California traveling the road of the Sacred Fool with magic, ritual, and restorative reflection. Located at the beautiful Four Springs Retreat Center, this retreat calls to those who are interested in deepening and widening their earth-based spiritual practice. We welcome both those who are at the beginning of an earth based spiritual journey/quest and those who have miles behind them.

 

Come join us on the beautiful grounds of Four Springs and experience the sacredness of the Fool within each of us. The Fool, the first card of the Tarot, reminds us that any journey of spirit starts by following our intuition, opening our heart and stepping into the unknown. The Fool also reminds us that a key part of a solid spiritual and magical practice is staying The Fool. The beginner's mind and heart of the Fool requires the ability to be in the present, open to possibility, and be guided by divine intuition.

With workshops and rituals, come ready to play the Fool and open to a wealth of possibility in enlivening your spiritual journey. Come ready to embrace the gifts of body, mind, and spirit. Skills covered include: trancework, ritual, spellwork, energy work, movement, dance, singing, chanting and the reflective arts.  Those on the beginning of an earth-based spiritual path will gain an understanding of what it means to begin working with the elements of magic, the sacred senses, and the why and how of pagan "prayer" - ritual and spell-working.   Those who have a solid magical practice will find delight and depth in a variety of workshops geared towards taking us out of the boxes of "spiritual tradition" and returning us to the soul of our practice. 

A Fool's Journey is put on by a group of teachers, priestesses, and facilitators dedicated to earth-based spiritual paths. We include initiated priestesses of Reclaiming, Feri, and Gardeniarian traditions. With more than two to three decades behind us in following earth based spiritual paths, we came together to explore how solid spiritual and magical practices that extend beyond particular traditions or techniques can be built.

Sunday, Aug 3 @ 5:53 p.m.:  I'm home from a truly delightful planning weekend that was a balance of planning and relaxing in the pool.  I'm so excited it can't get here soon enough!  We've planned all the evening rituals and figured out who's teaching what when.  I commented this afternoon, the people who don't get registered before we fill up will be missing a great camp.  I hope that isn't you! ~ Panthera
