Gardening Our Soul - A Spring Mini Journey

Are you doing inner work? 

Do you feel called to a divine purpose, a renewed direction, or are you starting to find clarity on your journey?
 

Does your inner landscape feel like an ever evolving wilderness?
 

Join us as we honour our inner seasons of change, and tend to the gardens of our soul. In this mini-journey, we will nurture our visions in order to confidently walk into the next cycle of our life’s path. 
 

As a result of this mini-journey, you will walk away with a bundle that includes a beautiful vision board, a plant relative to bring home, materials to create/add to your sacred space, and a community of support to walk alongside you.

Here’s what to expect:

During this full day mini-journey, we will go through the following 5 paths to garden our soul
 

1. Cleanse our energy and gather our materials: 

We will start our time together by grounding with a cacao ceremony, followed by a cleansing ritual to let go of our past, and then gather our materials and minds for the journey to follow

*About Cacao Ceremony* Its an invitation to open your heart with sacred love with the aid of the powerful medicine in the cacao seed.  This practice will be facilitated with Mayan cultural roots to cultivate ancestral connection to the lands we are on. 
 

2. Prepare our inner soil and thank the land: 

We partner with the land to check-in with our intentions, notice patterns & signals to inform our goals, and generate ideas and images for our vision

3. Share our visions and design our soul’s garden

We create our vision board to start, integrate, let go and nurture our goals,  share with peers to cross-pollinate our visions, and use the seasons of change model to honour our complexity, our light, our shadows, our boundaries and our attractors. 

*About the Vision Board* We will offer you a template to help design and clarify your intentions, goals and actions.  This will be facilitated by a seasoned guide of this practice to honour all of who you are becoming. 

4. Plant the seeds and connect to a relative

We decide our next steps by being specific about our next steps, leaning into our strengths, clarifying where we want help and committing with peers & plant relatives.

5. Commit to our plan and honour the journey

We support each other to create sacred space for vision, use practices to stay consistent, have regular check-ins and rituals and be supported by the Journeyland community. 

Post-Mini Journey check-in: We will offer an online call with facilitators and participants will be available to ensure we support each other along the way.  In addition, you will also be welcomed into the Journeyland community through our online forum and future Belonging events. 

There will be breaks, and lunch with potluck salad and refreshments will be provided. 

We offer a sliding scale energy exchange in order to cover the costs of the venue, materials, food, planning, and facilitation. We limit the number of participants to ensure an intimate environment for this tender and powerful experience. 

Here is what past participants of Journeyland Mini-Journeys have said:

“Really loved this experience! Well done. The facilitation, activities, everything was so amazing. So much care and love. Can't speak highly enough. Everything I hoped it would be and much more.”

“Thank you for a beautiful mini journey. I really enjoyed it and wished that it would last an entire weekend!”

“I was honestly a bit hesitant to attend, but I'm really glad I did. The hosts made me feel comfortable and they had a well-planned itinerary that made the day flow smoothly and allowed me to open up in front of people.”

To prepare for this mini-journey, we invite you to consider the following:

• Bring your journal and/or previous work you have done on your inner purpose
• Bring a reusable water container to stay hydrated
• Bring weather appropriate clothing for indoors and outdoors - we recommend layers
• Bring an open mind and an open heart, and we will guide you along this journey
• Bring your questions, your curiosities, your intentions and your imagination

We will be sending out a pre-event survey to all participants to get better acquainted prior to the Mini Journey, in order to support you to our highest ability.  

We are journeyors just like you, and understanding what it takes - thank you for your trust.
