Sacred Connections Empowerment Retreat
Returning to Sacred Authenticity
This years retreat is geared towards opening up the most sacred parts of you and how to find them within. We aim to help you remember that we are humans believing truths instead of the noise of others. We can take our power back and still be compassionate, loving, and courageous. That self-love, self worth, self-esteem is not something to be earned but to be carefully gathered in the wellsprings of your heart, tended to, and allowed to overflow.
This year we will introduce many more techniques and experiences to bring out the real you! Feeling seen, heard, valued, and honored will become second nature.
Meet the Hostess!

I am the face behind
Gypsy Wings & Celtic Roots.
From a young age, I was criticized for believing in the “impossible” and magickal realms, never knowing that others couldn’t see them. As I grew up I learned to set my sights on school and get my head out of the clouds, that didn’t stop the fae or otherworldly creatures or spirits from trying to get my attention. However, the older I got the more their interactions became fewer and fewer, because I quit looking for them. On the chance that I encountered an earthbound spirit, I then interacted from a place of fear.
As I came into my awakening, I found what others refused to work with ‘tricksters’ and misunderstood beings. I’ve always fostered a love for the misunderstood and wyrd (weird). Nature, animals, and Magick runs through my veins.
It was only natural that shamanism attracted me, a nature based and natural love of animism, honoring the sacred interconnected energies of everything and walking between worlds. I traversed the long road to healing through the pits of breaking free from the status quo and the understanding of emotional intelligence as their effect on our bodies. In this, I have learned to aid others in processing heavy emotions to find joy in the present (not to be confused with the mundane).
