Wild Rose Dreaming
A six day intensive plant medicine retreat guided by the spirit of the Rose.
A plant medicine journey to awaken your sacred heart
The Rose Initiation retreat is an opportunity to reconnect with your true essence, to remember who you are beyond your stories, and to face the hidden shadows that keep you small. It is an invitation to step out of your everyday world, and to dive into the magical realms of the plants, whilst being held in a deeply nurturing, feminine space of healing, remembrance and wisdom. This retreat will mark your initiation onto the path of the rose.
What is the path of the rose?
The path of the rose is a path of living prayer. A path of living in remembrance, compassion and beauty, opening us to the highest frequencies of love and devotion. It is the path of the awakening heart. The path of the Goddess. A path of living in harmony with the primal rhythms of nature, where we embrace the magic and mystery of the cycles of life, death and rebirth. It represents the resurrection of the deep feminine within. Where our hearts deepest desires are revealed and we learn the true meaning of regeneration and abundance, empowering us to step into sovereignty and claim our divinity as co-creators with all of life.
“Older than human beings. Older even than hominids. Dig as deep as you can in the fossil record, and roses are there already. In the beginning was the Word, says the Gospel of John. But the truth is, words came later. In the beginning was the rose."
Clark Strand & Perdita Finn; The Way of the Rose
About the retreat
Join Wolf & Rose for this heart opening five night plant medicine journey into the realms of the deep feminine guided by the Spirit of the Rose, with the support of other plant allies including sacred cacao, rapé and mapacho.
Over six days we will drink a Rose Elixir and Rose Infusion as a form of plant diet, a process that enables us to connect to the subtle realms of the plant world in order to receive guidance and deep healing from our plant allies.
Plant diets work across the emotional, physical and spiritual planes, providing the opportunity to heal on many levels whilst developing a beautiful, reciprocal relationship with the spirit of the rose, an ancient healer that holds deep codes of feminine wisdom.
Each day will involve ceremony with the rose, followed by time in sacred silence so that you can learn to tune into the subtle vibrations and medicines of the rose. We will also be exploring shamanic earth centred practices, temple arts and sound healing as well as various embodiment practices which will help us to shift into altered states of consciousness, to connect more deeply with the dreaming world of the plants.
There is the option to completely fast for the duration of the plant diet or to follow a restricted diet. We also ask that you follow a restricted diet for three days prior to the retreat and for two weeks afterwards to enable the rose medicine to work more deeply with you.
