### An Invitation to you Divine Being~

> “I leave doubt behind, trust in myself, and create my own path”
> You climb the mountain, following the route that is meant for you alone. With a wand in each hand, you carry courage, and a knowing that your steps are true. You are barefoot, connected, and ever present with your surroundings and with yourself. There is potency in movement, even if we don’t know exactly where we are going. Taking a single step forward is inviting self-worth and trust into our lives.
> - Mariza Ryca Aparicio-Tovar, The Gentle Tarot, 2 of Wands

Our seventh edition of Embody Retreats will take place in the forested realms of Eagle Fern, Oregon
Alton L. Collins Retreat Center
May 17th-19th 2024.
Let us amplify trust; trust in our path, trust in nature and spirit allies, trust in community! The Alton L. Collins Retreat Center is nestled in 68 acres of Pacific northwestern forest surrounded by majestic, moss-covered cedar, spruce, fir, hemlock and bigleaf maple. The natural environment supports ferns, trillium, and salmonberry bushes covering the forest floor. Trails take you through the woods and along the streams that meander around the grounds. Enjoy a sweet meditative herb labyrinth, or grab a book and nestle into the cozy library. This beautiful nature setting, combined with the comfort and convenience of a commercial facility in a metropolitan area, creates the perfect environment for our magical retreat. Breakfast, lunch and dinner provided by a holistic chef devoted to nourishing your mind and body.

#### Reconnect to your authentic self.

Enjoy a weekend of vibrant offerings!
Come play, move, dance, energize, heal, hike, magic, explore, honor, breathe, learn and create sacred space with us! This is a brave and supportive space for all backgrounds, comfort and experience levels. Embody is rooted in love, consent and sacred reciprocity. Please refer to our values and agreements for more clarity and information about our containers.
What calls to you? Solo-time or group activities? You choose what is right in every moment.

#### Embody is a place to call in our trust, to listen to the wisdom of our intuition.

Let us find new space and opportunity to shed old layers, stories, and beliefs that may no longer be in service to our path, our health and wellbeing. May we remember who we truly are, our callings and gifts are needed in this time, on this earth.

#### Embody is created with deeply intentional care.

Offerings designed as an invitation to connect and communicate with the wisdom of our body, mind/heart, energy, spirit, community and earth. We are seeds of a new way of being, a new earth. May we honor the deeper calls to be in service and sacred reciprocity.
