Vermont Treehouse Retreat on Mother Wounds (SOLD OUT!)


Yes, this is the second treehouse. There are two! One fits 4 people and this one fits 5 people.

We're headed to Vermont to connect with Mother Nature, ourselves and our Mother Wounds.

Think of this as a camping-plus (glamping?) yet magical experience because the treehouse is tucked away so we will have lots of privacy. The owner is about 3-5 minutes down the road. 

This is a place to disconnect to connect as there is no Wifi and the cell service is sketchy. I tested this out with my 24-year-old niece in August 2021, check out her review.

This retreat will be solely focused on Mother Wounds. We’ll be discussing how to recognize this in ourselves, building awareness, forgiving a whole lot and how to mother ourselves in the process.

Our special guest will be curandera, bruja and spiritual herbalist Mia Fortuna who will be leading our plant meditation and medicine workshop. If you’ve been on a retreat with us before then you’ve heard me talk about her candles, tarot reading on IG, and just being an overall awesome spirit in my world.

Her bio: My name is Karen and I currently live in California but I am a Jersey girl. I was born in Venezuela and my parents are both Colombians. It was on the East coast where my spiritual studies began. When I started this walk, I felt very connected to Wicca which led me to my Goddess studies. At 28 years old I was introduced to Tarot and after 3 years of studying, I was initiated and I chose the reader-name of Mia Fortuna. I was then initiated in Toltec Shamanism (pic) and my given name is Yayauhqui, which means "Black-smoking-mirror", I scry using an Obsidian mirror. I studied with Irma Starspirit Turtle Woman in NYC. Truth be told, I prefer the term Curandera than Shaman. I was also initiated in another form of shamanism where we worked with ascended masters, light language, gong-sounds and other modules. To add more to my studies, I am a certified Herbalist (10 years) and Flower Designer. And of course, I am a proud plant-mamma. I have always been an Empath, my earliest memories of seeing Spirit, I was maybe 2- 3 years old. As a medium, I have the ability to see (clairvoyance), hear (clairaudience), smell (clairalience), and feel (claircognizance) Spirit and Animism.

To read the rest, please check out her website.

The covered pavilion, a few meters away, has water, a sink, gas stove, refrigerator, complete set of cooking/eating utensils, and there is a large table to eat or converse over. There is a natural fire pit to enjoy as you watch the sun set in the West. An outside shower completes the picture.

There is a double (full size) bed on the first level and three single beds on the second level. Perch on the first or second floor porch and listen to the living woods. There is even a composting toilet right in the tree house for your convenience.
