APRIL 11th 9am-12pm
Nusta workshop w/ Nelida
The Nustas (Nust'a's) are the goddesses and sacred archetypal feminine essences of nature in the Andean traditions - they are the daughters of Pachamama. They are here to support you in transmitting love to your family, communities, and the greater collective.
In this class, Nelida will give us an introduction to the Nustas and how we can work with them in our everyday lives. These benevolent intelligences integrate nicely with anyone who is interested in a more intimate relationship with nature.
In the afternoon she will be teaching us how to find and activate a Nusta Kuya (Nusta medicine stone) into our Altars and or Mesas. You will also gain insight into how you can work with these feminine nature beings to be of support in this time of great change in the world. Finally, Nelida will provide insights and teachings on how these goddesses can help us in our healing work for ourselves and for others.
Learn about and experience the power and healing of the feminine intelligences of Nature.

Breathwork for Deep Healing
Breathwork has been used for millennia to enhance health and to connect with spirit. The aim of this workshop is to connect to the divine within ourselves, our true nature, our souls.
This form of breathwork incorporates evocative and provocative music, and darkness to help us enter into a non-ordinary state of consciousness. The breathing technique helps to move stagnant energy in the body allowing physical healing and emotional release. Many have healed old wounds, discovered unhealthy patterns of thought and behavior, or found a spark to ignite inner creativity.
This workshop is facilitated by Julia Wolf, Energy Healer, Shamanic Practitioner and Transformative Life Coach.You can learn more about her on her website theyurtattrillium.com or send questions to her at TrilliumHealingArts@comcast.net.
Workshop is hosted by Sierra McFeeters in her lovely home in Woodbury, Vermont.
Limited to 8 participants
$285 pp for up to 4
$230 pp for 5
$190 pp for 6
$165 pp for 7
$140 pp for 8

Sweat Lodge
This is a traditional Anishnabe lodge. We will gather between 8:30 and 10:00 AM, to prepare, and generally get into the lodge around 10:00.
Children are invited with parents to come into the first round.
Men please wear T-shirts and shorts and Sisters, please wear T-shirts and a long skirt.
You’ll need a towel to sit on, a change of clothes, a potluck dish to share, and we ask for reciprocity of at least two armfuls of wood or $60 Per person.
There are four rounds, and we will most likely go for several hours. These things have their own time but typically we are out by two. We will also share pipe ceremony together.
You may leave the lodge at any time, it’s not an endurance contest. Women on their Moon time are welcome into the lodge.
This is a sober event, and we ask that all participants are substance free for at least 48 hours before the lodge.
If you’d like to participate, but have an issue with going into the lodge, you are welcome to help with the fire and just sit outside the lodge. This is considered as powerful and sacred as being inside the lodge. This is our seventh year in offering these lodges after receiving traditional training by an Elder from Canada. This particular lodge is a snake lodge, meaning the essence it holds, is one of transformation. This lodge will carry the theme of seed planting.
We welcome you with open hearts!
