Love is The Great Medicine Retreat

Love is the Great Medicine
Reclaiming the Heart as the Seat of the Soul & Shamanic Center of Power
Star River Sanctuary

Practice Love. Tend the Field. Live the Way.

This mid-summer ceremonial retreat is devoted to the remembrance that Love is the Great Medicine — and that this Love is not fragile, sentimental, or easily destroyed. It is invincible. It is victorious. It is our true essential nature.

In a world shaped by unnecessary harshness, manufactured division, and the normalization of suffering, the Heart can slowly armor, contract, or forget its own power. Yet beneath every layer of protection and pain, there remains an indestructible core — an innocence rooted in unconditional Love, untouched by harm, waiting to be remembered.

Drawing from ancient Andean ceremonial arts and the perennial wisdom of the Heart, this retreat weaves together the transmission of Invincible Innocence with the lived practice of Heart Medicine. Together, we journey into the Heart as the true shamanic center of power — the place where sovereignty, innocence, and Love converge.

Reclaiming Invincible Victorious Love is not about bypassing pain or denying what has been endured. It is a courageous journey of releasing our addiction to suffering, self-harm, and separation consciousness. Through ceremony, prayer, ritual, and sacred council, we clear interference and confusion so Love can once again move freely through our lives and sacred paths of service.

Within a safe, reverent, and lovingly held field, we remember that true healing arises through common-unity, kinship, and interconnection with all of Life. We were never meant to heal alone. As we reclaim the innocence of the Heart, we restore trust in Love as an intelligent, living medicine — capable of guiding us home and shaping new paradigms rooted in compassion, truth, and beauty.

Commitment — choosing to orient life around the sovereignty and wisdom of the Heart.
Connection — restoring felt relationship with self, community, Earth, and Spirit.
Communion — allowing Love itself to become the field of healing, reconciliation, and remembrance.

  Supporting direct access to the soul’s intelligence and the deeper wisdom held within your psyche, body, and ancestral memory.
• Sacred Council and heart-centered community dialogue
  Creating a respectful relational field where truth can be spoken, witnessed, and integrated without judgment, fixing, or performance.
• Restorative movement, breathwork, and somatic practices
  Helping insights land in the nervous system and body, so transformation becomes regulated, sustainable, and embodied.
• Time for rest, reflection, and renewal in beautiful natural settings
  Allowing the pace of Nature to support integration, clarity, and the restoration of inner coherence.
