Songlines Solstice Retreat UK 2023

Songlines Summer Solstice UK Retreat 2023 

(Note: Songlines Members Only Exclusive Retreat)

 Our Songlines Community are invited to a retreat and initiation ceremony taking place under the Summer Solstice sun on sacred witch remembrance grounds at Belvoir Castle in England. Join us in person on the grounds of Belvoir Castle at a very special private venue; Croxton Park House.

Traveling to England is optional and open for those who wish to meet in person at this truly magical, mystical retreat led by Suzi von Mensenkampff and Emma Kupu Mitchell.  Arrive a few days ahead to spend time in nature and go deep into the mystery of yourself as a mystic witch, together we will explore the land and take part in a sacred ceremony to honour and integrate our seeds, our medicine, our shadows, and our songlines. We all gather online for the live Songlines Summer Solstice Closing Celebrations, as we mark the end of our year together. 

For those who cannot be in England, portions of the retreat will be recorded and shared as we gather for our final online program on the Solstice with Janet leading the celebrations live from Florida, and our group joining live from Croxton Park.

What to expect:

Imagine yourself traveling across the globe, arriving in England with plenty of time to rest and recuperate after your journey. Meeting members of our Songlines community on route; as we gather in person at a very special location in the UK. We will meet under the trees beside the three oak saplings planted to acknowledge the Witches of Belvoir   Castle in 2021 by Her Grace, Emma, Duchess of Rutland, Belvoir Castle.

The landscape at Croxton Park, with its ancient trees and lakes holds many stories for us to tune into, we will explore what wants to be known, seen, heard and experienced. We will listen to the whispers of our souls, transcending time and space to discover ancient past lives that once were. Guided by our intuition, we will create a unique experience for each other; with the intention of integrating our inner Mystic and healing our Witch wounds.

Highlights:

• With reverence for the 11 witches, their story bearers and guides, each other and the entire community, we will pray and meditate at sunrise and sunset. 
• Quiet time to contemplate the questions posed by Sabin as we began last year, review our deep soul writing and share our aha moments. 
• All of your meals will be provided as we will prepare delicious vegetarian based foods, that we will infuse with love as we cook and eat together. 
• We will walk the land, listen and tune into the trees, explore the gardens, the castle and the vast estate at Belvoir. (pronounced Beaver)
• Rituals to embrace the five elements; air, space, earth, water and fire of which we are created. We will honour each other, and all of our community. To be seen, heard, felt and fully supported. 
• We will laugh, as we remember who we truly are and why we are here. We will celebrate, sing, dance and share our Songlines as we embody the 12th witch, ourselves.
