About Healing the Spirit

Deepen Your Connection to the Magickal and the Healer Within

Healing the Spirit is not just another Pagan event. The goal of Healing-the-Spirit is to provide a retreat space where Pagans from many paths can come together and contact the voice of Spirit within themselves.

Through community rituals and exercises we will build a foundation together that will support us all in our quest to find Source.  As each person connects to Spirit and comes into their own power, the foundation of community we create will be our safety net and safe harbor from which we can explore the unknown within ourselves.  Within this safe space, there will be workshops/classes and smaller rituals to show folks ways to contact that same source when out in the world of experiences.

Intentional Community

Probably the most important aspect of Healing the Spirit is a deep focus on coming together and forming an intentional community dedicated to helping all approach and experience Spirit. More like a group retreat than a pagan holiday celebration, yet it's precisely this coming together that we believe will give us all plenty of chance to celebrate the Healer and the Ecstatic within us that sometimes doesn't get the chance to come out at a less intentional carnival atmosphere event.

This Fire will is a highly intentioned space as well culminating in an Alchemical Fire Circle where participants will have the chance to reach personal transformation through a combination of rhythm, movement, voice, focused intent, and ecstatic release. This will be magickal.

Why All the Focus on Spirit?

Spirit is the driving force of all we do.  When we lose our connection or stop listening to Spirit, dis-ease begins in our life.  This does not mean that Spirit has gone from us.  On the contrary, as we move away from Spirit, It works harder and harder to bring us back to Its calming center of love and life.  Our struggles are our own.  When we move far enough away that connection feels completely lost, Spirit does all it can to help us hear Its call.  If we step out of our every day world, make time for Spirit, it is miraculous how quickly we feel Its presence in our life again.

Follow the urges of Spirit.  Make time in your life for Spirit to speak with you, to guide you and to teach you.  Here is your healing power.  Take it, use it and discover the beautiful, amazingly powerful person you are.

Why a Retreat?

The world of our waking reality presents us with many reasons to believe that we are powerless to heal our lives.  If we never hear alternative voices, this thought form eventually becomes real for us.  This weekend is designed to counter these destructive, life diminishing visions that are around us every day.

In every spiritual tradition, when an individual is overwhelmed by the responsibilities and expectation of daily life an option for healing is to retreat in order to regroup, re-energize and heal.  As modern Pagans, following the calling of many ancient paths, few of us have the backing of a large religious institution to provide retreat space.  This has been a strong teaching force for many.  Helping them to learn how to make retreat space in their lives.  For others this lack of structure has left them feeling adrift on a turbulent sea with no harbor in site.

The quiet introspection of an intentional retreat helps everyone come to Spirit. Though we walk many paths, we can come together under the common bond of Spirit to find the healing we need and support the healing of others.
