Return to who you are.

We are woven into the natural world - it is in us and we are in it.  Somehow, we have forgotten this and we become fragmented, disconnected from the natural world and from ourselves as well.  We have forgotten who we are and spend a lot of energy defending who we think we are.  And yet, we sense a longing to let go of our defenses, to genuinely connect with ourselves, to remember our wholeness. 

We yearn to come fully alive. 

Shift out of separation and step into profound connection.

 Re/turning is about healing the fragmented pieces of ourselves.  It is an immersive experience, designed to invite you to leave your thinking mind as you come to truly inhabit your body and listen with your heart.  Through the practices, your body, mind, and heart gradually expand.  The fragments come together, you sense no separation - you are one with everything.

Enter into sacred relationship.

We are made of the elements: Water, Earth, Air, and Fire.

The path of re/turning is one of working with the elements and the cycle of the seasons.  Through developing a personal relationship with the elements, you come back into deep connection with nature and with yourself.  In this returning, you find healing, balance, and meaning.

The medicine wheel will be our guide

The medicine wheel is divided into four parts, comprising the four directions,  the four seasons, the four elements - Earth, Air, Fire, and Water.  We will follow it through the cycles of the year, re-establishing our relationship with each element as we go.  Through the elements and the "walking" of the wheel, we will experience life arising in us and ultimately find our way back to ourselves, healing the broken parts, reuniting the fragments.  Each turn will bring us deeper into sacred relationship.

How it works

It takes one full year to complete the circle (if you choose).   You can hop in at any time - sign up for one month or do all of it.   Because it is a wheel, there is no one place to start.  It is always turning and re/turning. You begin where you are.  And you can always begin again.

Three months will be dedicated to each of the elements, as indicated by the wheel. 

WATER     October / November / December
EARTH      January / February / March
AIR              April / May / June
FIRE           July / August / September
The rhythm of our exploration for the three months in an element will be as follows:

One -   reAWAKENING      discover how the element relates to you and feel it stirring

Two  -  reAQUAINTING     deepen your experience with the element and the way it works with you

Three -    reTURNING        merge with the element and receive its healing    (drumming session)

By developing a relationship with the elements each month, you
experience life arising in you and through you.

A monthly ritual

Ritual has rhythm and intention.  It opens hidden paths for us to venture and thresholds for us to cross.  In re/turning, with each step of the monthly ritual, you are drawn further into the quiet space within.  As you go deeper, you will feel a shift in consciousness,  from one of separation and thought to one of unity and being.  This is the place of magic and healing.

The ritual in re/turning is designed to take you into sacred relationship and then gently bring you back to ordinary consciousness.  There is a flow to it. 
 Each month consists of 5 practices, spaced as individual pages that you enter one at a time, each one leading you to the next.
