Blessing the Wounded Healer - A Transformational Retreat for Healers
With Darcy Kopas and Robin Flynn
November 10 - 13, 2022
We have been in the deep dive of collective initiation for almost 3 years. This initiation sparked, by the global pandemic, has left no one behind. Each and every one of us has experienced unique and very real challenges which have tested us to the core. The restrictions, suffering, separation, and isolation, individually and collectively, have required each of us to tap into an incredible amount of Soul Power and perseverance. Many of us have been scrambling to care for ourselves while in situations where we have also been caring for others. Many of us now know that in order to heal from this time, we need to come back together in circle and prayer, and to tend the bruised and tattered places within. Its been a heroic journey and it’s not over yet.
In recognition of the epic marathon of care, effort, love, and hard work so many in this community have been pouring out, we wish to offer a space for healing in dedication to this. “Blessing the Wounded Healer” retreat is a journey of blessing and transforming our service in the world. It is an opportunity for those in the healing professions, care providers, parents, grandparents, leaders, guides, business owners, and those on the down and out, TO BRING THE MEDICINE home to your own heart. We will dive into a co-created sacred space where the Love that is so often directed outward to others, can begin to be directed home towards the beautiful heart of Service that resides within.
The greatest gift we can give those we serve is to not leave ourselves behind.
Sometimes the “good intentions” to help another can lead to putting ourselves in harm’s way (either subtlety or overtly) and undermining the very inner well being that sustains our service in the world. With this huge year of restrictions and government orders, many of us have not had the choice, freedom, or simply space, to care for our own hurts.One of the greatest challenges in many of our lives is to create the time to take care of ourselves. This retreat is dedicated to “Blessing” all that you are, so that you can step back into your life and Service renewed and resourced.
This retreat will be a ceremonial and initiatory experience from the living mystery school of Your Heart. The medicine wisdom offered is anchored in the teachings of the Kamaska Curanderismo, Pachakuti Mesa Tradition, Hermetic Alchemy, the reemerging divine feminine christ consciousness, and earth honouring animism.
This retreat is ideal for those who wish to:
~ To be held in a sanctuary of beauty and peace where the burdens that you are carrying can be left behind.
~Remember Divine Source of All Life is the true well spring of all inner resources and the ability to be of service.
~Receive powerful blessings, cleansing and clearing for the “Wounded Healer” within.
~Reconnect to your heart’s innate wisdom and re-align to your sacred path of service, which always begins with Self-Love.
~ In service to starseeds, light workers, shining ones, and beautiful hearts awakening to our luminous selves~
We will gather to:
- Enter the Great Mysteries through the potent ceremonial practices of the 2 Heart Medicine meditations – one in the night and one in the day, Pachakuti Mesa Lineage, Andean shamanism, Hermetic Alchemy, breath work, and meditation.
-
As a circle of care providers, healers, and front line workers, we will co-create an empowered Sovereign space for healing.
-
We will bring the vast love that lives within our hearts home to the inner “wounded healer”. Be ready to deeply transform through radical empowerment.
-
We will explore how the challenges of being in service (including burn-out, secondary trauma, “saviourism”, and service driven spiritual by-pass) can be transformed through ceremonial practice.
-
Ideal for individuals who feel stuck in patterns of co-dependence and over-giving.
-
As devoted Mystics we will align with other Visionary Alchemists to potentiate our service and evolution within a powerfully held container for Self-care and renewal. We will bring healing to the lost and broken places with us through an empowerment and resource model of healing.
-
We will reclaim the gifts and beauty of “Wounded Healer” as a source of blessing for our own lives and all Life!
