Alabama Half-Day Retreat
Spring Equinox Gathering
Saturday, March 21st, 12:00 - 3:00pm
Desoto Falls, AL
Step away from the noise of the world and be held in the quiet womb of Mother Earth for a transformative sensory experience this Spring Equinox. As the world above awakens to the gifts of spring, restoring the balance of light and dark, we invite you to descend into the stillness of the cave to plant the seeds of your intentions.
We will share in storytelling, song and cacao, followed by a melipona honey and shamanic breath journey into a dual sound immersion. The “dual” sound bath (guided by 2 facilitators) will weave a complex tapestry of frequencies and vibrations reverberating off the cave walls. Ancient limestone walls serve as a hallowed amplifier, bathing the soul in a 360-degree resonance. As Mother Earth’s healing frequencies naturally weave through the sound waves, they merge with the heart-opening medicine of cacao, and the third-eye opening medicine of Melipona honey to create a truly transcendent journey.
Emerge from the cave renewed into the blossoming season of beginnings. Feel nature's abundance all around you, invigorating your spirit and inspiring your gardens of life.

About the Melipona Honey Ritual 🍯
Applied to either the eyes or tongue, Melipona honey has been revered for centuries as a sacred gift from the Earth and sky in Mayan ceremonies. Melipona bees create matriarchal hives and are closely linked to Ixchel, the Mayan goddess of fertility and the moon. When combined with breathwork and heart-opening cacao, this medicine opens and activates the third-eye allowing for a clear connection between the sacral, heart, and third-eye energetic channel. This honey is from Yucatán, Mexico and is antioxidant-rich and supportive of hormonal balancing + feminine energy.
