Sacred Conversations with Land
April 25-28 in-person retreat + 3 weekly live online sessions
hosted by Belinda Liu (Hestia co-founder) & Liz Kelly (Home to Her Academy)
Cultures around the world have known and honored the Sacred Feminine as Sacred Earth for thousands of years. But what does it really mean to be in conversation with the land? More importantly, how does it feel? And how do we establish and cultivate a lasting connection to the earth - one based on the principles of respect, reciprocity and deep listening?
Fall Equinox 2024
September 19-25, 2024
with Dr. Paul Wang, doctor of Chinese Medicine
What aspects of your life need balance and restoration?
Join us during Fall Equinox for a deeply restorative sabbatical week to slow down, reset and come back into balance with your body, mind and spirit. We seek to shift our mindsets with refined intention. We inquire into our beliefs with open hearts. We dissolve habitual patterns with dynamic embodiment.
Samhain 2024
Oct 28-Nov 3, 2024
with Joy Evans, sound healer & forest therapy guide
Samhain is a Celtic cross-quarter celebration at the midpoint between Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice, marking the beginning of the dark half of the year. This descent into the longer nights is acknowledged in many cultural traditions by honoring the cycle of death and rebirth. Release ancestral trauma, tend to your grief, and connect with ancestral healing with sacred sound healing and special rituals on the land.
OUR VISION
In these times of great political, environmental and economic instability, humankind is being tested to evolve. Hestia is where we can listen to Mother Earth for clues to navigate our way forward.
We are a spiritual playground for practicing new ways of being, living, working and communing— starting with a reverent relationship with sacred land.
We are kind, caring, spiritually grounded people committed to doing our inner work in order to birth a beautiful new world for future generations to flourish.
Our Sacred Land in Mount Shasta, CALIFORNIA
Hestia Retreat Center is our 10-acre sanctuary located near Mount Shasta, California—one of the most potent healing vortexes on earth.
We are on the sacred land of the Karuk and Shasta tribes. Our flowing creek hosts a rare convergence of purifying red and white minerals symbolizing the union of the masculine and feminine energies within each of us.
Our sanctuary is just a 5-hour drive from Portland, Oregon and San Francisco, California. We are just 1.5 hours ways from two airports (RDD and MFR) and easily accessible by train and bus.
