Wild Souls America : Walking through the Sacred Elements
May 10 @ 6:00 am – May 18 @ 1:30 am

Expand yourself under a million stars, allow the clean air to wash your cares away, remember again that you are a child of the forests and seas and trees, walk in beauty and come naturelusting with me…

Wild Souls America is a true naturelusting journey through the elements of earth, water, fire and air. We meet in San Francisco and wind our way through the famous Yosemite National Park, Sequoia National Park, down to the California coast to a beautiful ranch in the seaside town of Santa Barbara and we eventually complete our journey in Santa Monica in Los Angeles.

Big wilderness, big trees, big Blue Whales, big sky, big adventure and big change is what this retreat is all about!

Yosemite National Park is a place of wild majesty and was one of the first national parks in the world. It is a World Heritage site and includes the High Sierra Mountain range. Pioneering naturalist, the immortal John Muir, wrote a whole book about the awe inspiring landscape of Yosemite and single-handedly lobbied the US Government in order to protect it back at the turn of the 20th century:

“Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul alike.” – The Yosemite (1912)by John Muir, page 256.

You’ll be camping in the full glory of the high country of this wilderness for two nights and three days and dependant on conditions you’ll see El Capitan, Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, Tunnel View and the stunning Yosemite Valley itself. Wolves, bears, coyotes, eagles, stags and lots of other wildlife are plentiful here.

We then travel onto Sequoia National Park where we will be staying in a lodge within the park itself- so we will be able to experience the energy of the biggest trees on earth and do ritual amongst them.

Your retreat includes:

– Full retreat programme with Stacey Demarco and special guest lecturers that will be dedicated to your deepening your spiritual path and ensuring your transformation.

– All accommodation (twin share basis) from Day 1 in San Francisco (Executive Hotel Vintage Court), 1 Night at the Wuksachi Lodge in Sequoia National Park, 3 nights at the El Captain Ranch in Santa Barbara through to our last night in the luxury “The Huntley” -http://www.thehuntleyhotel.com/, in Santa Monica, LA.

– All delicious meals including whilst on camp.

– 2 nights/3 days camping in Yosemite National Park at elevation. All camping equipment is provided (but feel free to bring your own sleeping bag should you prefer it). All entry fees to the park are included.

– Amazing professionally-guided wilderness walks within Yosemite: Deeply connect with your wild Self and perform ritual in a place that is famous all around the world for its incredible energy and wildlife. Learn more about Yosemite:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yosemite_National_Park

http://www.nps.gov/yose/index.htm

– Night-time meditation around the campfire and animal guide facilitation.

– Learning how amazing your body is in a wilderness medicine and first aid in-situ workshop by Dr. Adam Rehak.

– Connecting with the biggest trees on the planet, the Giant Sequoias and performing a ritual for wisdom amongst them.

-Delighting in outdoor ranch life in Santa Barbara and experience storytelling, Native American traditions & Gods and Goddesses & ritual, wildlife walks, how to create a magical geomarker and more…

– Whalewatching by boat- yes, our aim is to spot and sing to the largest whales on earth, the Blue Whales!

– Discovering the amazing feeling of connecting with an equine companion with a sunset ride (no experience required- beginners through to expert riders will be catered for!)

– Airport transfers.

– Our eco transport and yes, it’s a ROADTRIP!

– Loads of surprises and gifts AS USUAL!

ALL INCLUSIVE PRICE: $4295 twin share or $4750 single (airfare not included).

Deposit is $750 to hold your place.

FREQUENT RETREATERS BONUS! If you have been on any of my retreats before, you will receive a bonus discount of $200 off the price.

What the retreat doesn’t include:

– Personal spending money

– Drinks when not on camp

– Your airfare.

– Travel insurance

– Worry and work (yep, we aim to leave those behind somewhere pretty early 😀 )

As this is a true wilderness experience, a certain level of fitness is required. When in Yosemite you will experience uneven ground, walking for approx 3+hours or more per day, it may be quite cold (snow happens even in Spring sometimes but nothing that good boots and a warm clothes can’t fix) and as we are camping you’ll be a tent in a sleeping bag on the ground (although it will be padded underneath). If in doubt whether you’ll be ok fitness-wise for this trip, just ask us and we will work things through with you.

We are super-excited about this retreat and would love to speak to you further about it! Just contact Richard on 0400345113 or bookings@themodernwitch.com

Come, walk in beauty, together.

As John Muir himself said in 1938: “The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.”

Wild Souls Spirit Bear: An Invitation from the First Nations @ Spirit Bear Lodge
Jun 18 – Jun 25 all-day

There are some rare places in the world that have escaped the cruelty of man’s hand. They are very few, yet they exist. These places often have custodians, those who love and deeply connect with these places, protecting them and living as part of the circle within them, part of, not apart.

The Great Bear Forest of British Columbia, Canada is such a place. This is a wilderness so pristine and protected that some animals may not encounter a human for their whole lives. It is the largest and largest remaining untouched temperate rainforest on the planet. Towering green, forested mountains give way to river valley bottoms and estuaries which teem with wild salmon. It is the home of the great Grizzly Bear, coastal wolves, cougar, wolverines and many other terrestrial mammals. The Pacific Ocean, which laps the forest’s shores, is home to pods of Orca and Humpback Whales who swim and hunt in the labyrinthine complex of fiords and channels.

The First Peoples of this conservancy, the Kitasoo/ Xia Xia are such custodians. It is here in the Great Bear Rainforest that the Kitasoo/Xai’xais First Nation has lived since time immemorial. They have shared the forest and the salmon in harmony with all animals, plants and minerals and whilst all beings are important to these First Peoples, there is a very special creature they call moskgm’ol (white bear).

Their legend of the origin of moskgm’ol holds that “Goo-wee (Raven) made one in every ten black bears white to remind the people of a time when glaciers covered this land and how the people should be thankful of the lush and bountiful land of today.” Many of the Kitasoo/Xai’xais believe these bears hold super-natural powers, hence the name Spirit Bear. The Great Bear Rainforest is the only place in the world where Spirit Bears exist.

This is an extraordinary place and an extraordinary people.
And we have been invited by the Kitasoo/ Xia’ Xias to immerse ourselves in their land and their culture and experience a once in a lifetime journey…

As Winter’s grip recedes, we have been given special permission to visit very early in the season before other visitors. We will be personally guided into these lands and into the culture of these First Peoples. We will be shown the medicines of the forest, we will listen to the guiding stories of this ancient culture, we will dance their dances, we will walk side-by-side with the men charged with protecting the animals and land, “The Watchers.” Every day, we will experience another animal, another ecosystem another facet of mythos, another deeper level of nature-based experience, all seen through the world view of the Kitasoo/Xia’Xias. There may be other places in the world to spot a wolf, but nowhere else where you will learn why this wolf at this time in this place is important to you.

We will also have the opportunity to engage hands-on in a research approach that honours the cultural importance and sensitivity of the bears. (More info below).

All the while, you will be staying in Spirit Bear Lodge in the heart of the region. Built and run by the Kitasoo/Xia Xia. Spirit Bear Lodge has only 12 beautiful rooms and architecturally, the exterior of the Spirit Bear Lodge pays homage to the traditional long houses built for thousands of years by West Coast First Nations. Inside, the atmosphere is modern and relaxing yet culturally authentic. After a day of adventure, we will share stories in “The Great Room”, an intimate central room with comfy couches, 20-foot high, ocean view windows, local Tsimshian Art. Gaze out towards the grey blue waters of the Pacific Ocean and watch for passing Orcas, White-Sided Dolphins and Sea Lions. Listen to the silence as you revel in the natural wonders of the pristine and raw landscapes that surrounds you.

Wild Souls Spirit Bear will bring to life authentic contemporary First Nations culture and offer unparalleled adventure in the Great Bear Rainforest of British Columbia. It is hard to explain to you how special this place is and how special our invitation, so perhaps watch this:

Your retreat includes:

– Full retreat programme with Stacey Demarco and Kitasoo Xia’ Xia First Nation Elders and Guides that will be dedicated to your expanding your heart, deepening your spiritual path and ensuring your transformation through the power of nature and mythos.


– All accommodation (8 days, 7 nights twin share basis) from Day 1 in the exclusive Spirit Bear Lodge through to our last night in a boutique hotel in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

– Domestic flights return from Vancouver airport to Bella Bella and then onto Klemtu (280 nautical miles from Vancouver) via a scenic ferry ride across the channel to Spirit Bear Lodge.

– All transport within the conservancy.

– All fresh delicious meals whilst at the lodge. All meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and snacks starting with dinner on Day 1
– All adventure activities with our hosts…dependent on weather and animal movements, daily choices may include:
 Full day excursions to main wildlife viewing area on Mussell, Kynoch or Khutze River estuaries
 Full day Spirit Bear quest and exclusive access to the Canoona River
 Full day Spirit Bear quest to other areas on Princess Royal Island and in the Spirit Bear Conservancy.
 Daytrip to UNESCO World Heritage candidate site Dis’ju
 Marine tour for Humpback whale viewing in Finlayson Channel
 Boat excursions to Kitasu Hill, a basaltic cinder cone and the best preserved volcano in Milbanke Sound
 Beachcombing and beach exploration of Kitasu Bay
 Cultural and natural history sites interpretive boat tour
 Grizzly tracking tour
 Estuary exploration by sea-kayak
 Plant medicine walks,
 Northwest Coast indigenous art workshops
 Cedar basket weaving
 Authentic dance performances and story telling by village elders.
 Interaction with “The Watchmen”

– Research
We will also have the opportunity to engage hands-on in a research approach that honours the cultural importance and sensitivity of the bears. Grizzly, black and spirit bears – as well as wolverine, cougar and wolf – visit non-invasive hair snagging stations. Caught on remote camera, these animals visit the sites and leave tiny amounts of their hair on a barbed-wire corral they must cross over. From a few hairs, leading-edge molecular techniques can reveal the species, gender and even individual identity of the visiting animal. Chemical signatures in hair can reveal diet and even hormone levels – all without harassment of these special animals. Come join us in making scientific history on the first research project of its kind.

– Night-time meditation around the campfire and animal guide facilitation.

– Airport transfers to last night accommodation in Vancouver.

– Loads of surprises and gifts AS USUAL!

ALL INCLUSIVE PRICE: $6299 twin share. Talk to us about the possibility of single accommodation.

Deposit is $1000 to hold your place. 14 places ONLY.

FREQUENT RETREATERS BONUS! If you have been on any of my retreats before, you will receive a bonus discount of $200 off the price.

What the retreat doesn’t include:

– Personal spending money

– Alcoholic drinks

– Your airfare.

– Travel insurance

– Worry, boredom and work (yep, we aim to leave those behind somewhere pretty early 😀 )

As this is a true wilderness experience, a certain level of fitness is required. When in the conservancy you will experience uneven ground and you may be walking for approx 3+hours or more per day. You will be getting in and out of boats and kayaks. It may rain sometimes but nothing that good boots and waterproofs can’t fix). If in doubt whether you’ll be ok fitness-wise for this trip, just ask us and we will work things through with you.

Again, this is a very special once-in-a-lifetime invitation and opportunity. I would be honoured to host you.

“Remember: Nature allows not just a chance to go back to our true selves, which is incredible enough, but we get to create our new story moving forward. We get to renew. We get to transform far easier than in any other place. We are able to be the hero in our own mythos the one that WE write. Deep Nature gently invites us to be very present, to be very alive in it’s aliveness, flooded in beauty and in this moment of sheer oneness, we realize anything is possible. We realize that we are already ‘home’, that we have already arrived at a very good place, and our next steps can only bring more happiness.”
– From “The Disconnect”, by Stacey Demarco.

Come with me to a place where you can be nourished, transformed and made whole again. Come with the first Nations and myself, write your new mythos and feel who you really are.
