Pachamama Glamping Retreat
Welcome to the Glamping Retreat You Didn't Know You Needed!
Imagine: A perfect blend of adventure and comfort with access to a sauna, bathroom, and a tiny cabin nearby. Plus, a spiritual hike, nature journaling, and a Peruvian sacred ritual.
Ahem, glamping.
We're thrilled to collaborate with Morena Escardó, a holistic health coach, meditation and manifestation expert, and published author. We met through The Peruana Collective a few years ago and have always wanted to work together in some way. Now, we get to honor the land, ourselves, and the magia that comes with collaboration. Plus, we get to camp in a safe setting with access to a tiny cabin. We'll be going on a peaceful hike to journal and work our bodies out.
Meet Morena Escardó: After studying Philosophy in England, and Literature in Spain, she spent a decade working in the publishing industry as a writer, editor, and content creator, before turning her attention to her deepest passions: spirituality and holistic wellbeing.
She's been working as a spiritual mentor for Latinas since 2014, has a meditation practice that spans over two decades, and is currently training with shamans from her native Peru to deepen her connection with nature and healing. During the retreat, she will lead a Despacho ceremony, a beautiful ritual to give thanks and blessings to Pachamama (Mother Earth).
Despacho (Pachamama Blessing): This beautiful ritual uses the principle of ayni (sacred reciprocity), to give thanks and blessings to Pachamama (mother earth), in order to receive those blessings back.The ancient Andean ceremony involves creating a beautiful offering to the Earth, filled with our intentions and gratitude (and delicious foods that we will feed to the fire).
Together in this celebration, we will release what no longer serves us, set intentions for our future, and open ourselves up to receive abundance in all its forms.
Hike Level: (Beginner) Exact location and details will be sent to those who register. But essentially, the hike will be easy and more about connecting with the earth and journaling with ease.
Here we are at a past retreat grounding our feet into the earth.
