Mythic Seeds:
A Journey into the Heart of Life
September 29 - October 6, 2024 in the voluptuous, cave studded landscape of the Cochise Stronghold of Arizona
Myths are seed jars, waiting to be opened….ancestral seed savers. They are ancient indwelling stories that we rarely recognize as parts of our lives anymore yet they can guide us through harrowing times.
People throughout time have lived with seeds. Seeds were life givers quite literally for the food and healing they provided but they were also spiritual allies.
Myths come from our ancestral beginnings, from every culture, and have been a guiding light for the people throughout time. These stories as they exist today still carry the vestiges of the old wisdom that are at the very heart of life.
These mythic seeds have been waiting for a people who still have
a relationship with the Holy in Nature
and their ancestral origins,
and have the capacity to grow a culture worth living for.
Imagine sinking into a liminal mythic world with a group determined to dive deep and to wander this magical landscape inviting stories to come alive in you. With our ears to the ancient ones, we will remember our part in bringing the world alive again...a crucial task in a time of so much loss and devastation.
"The new paradigm is an old archetype stirred up from the depths of creation: refashioned for the current times and come round again" ~ Michael Meade
Guides: These two women who've been in soulful connection for years have been called into a
never before seen guiding partnership. Stephanie from the wilds of Canada will join Jade in Arizona
to create anew together.
Dates: We will begin at 3pm sharp on September 30 and end with lunch on October 6, 2024
Location: We will base our teachings at Dharma Treasure Retreat Center nestled in the powerful
Cochise Stronghold of southern Arizona.
Cost: $1850.00 USD for 6 nights of camping at Dharma Treasure, shared bathroom, wonderful
catered meals and wise guidance
What to expect: Your guides aim to create a rich and dynamic time on the land together as a group,
in dyads, and alone. Stone overhangs and unique rock families will beckon to you as you will be
invited to enact a 24 hour solo mid-way through the program. Part of each day will be spent in deep exploration of the teachings within carefully selected mythologies, the rest of our time we will dwell in ceremonial time, council, dreamtime, guided visualizations, and more.
Apply and Register: If you are interested, please email Jade and she will send you a few application questions and answer any questions you might have. Once accepted, your $400 non-refundable deposit will hold your place.
Your guides, Stephanie MacKay and Jade Sherer, invite you to dare
to join them in a brand new experiential land-based program
that has been waiting for eons
to be rekindled into Flame.
Out of the word germination comes the word “germ”.
The germ is the embryonic life of a seed.
The etymology of germ brings us to a deeper understanding of what we are
on the cusp of: “the beginnings of a new organism in an existing one.”
In some indigenous languages, germ, heart, and placenta are all the same word -
the germ is the spiritual heart of all life.
Come and blow life into the seeds within that bear the vibrant beginnings
for a life begging to sprout again!
