The site features cottages nestled on a private 350-acre island that hugs the beautiful Broad River as it reaches toward the sea. Majestic live oaks fill the woodlands, private fresh-water lakes are filled with bass and bream, hunting hawks, egrets, ibis, wood storks, and heron glide through the sky.
Most bedrooms are equipped with two queen-sized beds, and a shared full bath. Some bedrooms have one queen sized bed with private bath. Wireless access and media center are also available on site. Single cottages are available upon request.

What to Bring: Come prepared to do evening fire ceremony and outdoor explorations.
Plan according to the time of year and the site location. You may need to bring a coat or jacket, boots, raingear, a flashlight, etc. Wear comfortable clothes, as much of the work is done on the floor. Chairs are available for those who need them.
Work of the North: In the North we learn the way to the land of the ancestors, the Ancient Ones, a place outside of time and space from which the legends say the Universe springs forth each day. Here the shaman receives the “sacred dream” and the mandate to honor and serve all of life. There are three mystery practices in the North – the practice of invisibility, the ability to step outside of time and the ability to keep a secret, even from yourself. You will need to bring three beautiful stones for your North mesa.
In addition to the North work, we will be working with the shamanic healing tradition of Soul Retrieval. As you know, this is an ancient practice for recovering those parts of our essential selves that have been lost as a result of pain or trauma. It has been practiced by shamans for a thousand generations, and can achieve in a few sessions what often takes years to achieve in psychotherapy. You will be experiencing and translating mythic passages into contemporary journeys of transformation. Using selective states of consciousness unique to shamanism, you will discover realms not bound by ordinary time, domains where there is no causality, and where one can hear the voices of the ancient ones in the wind, heal one’s past, and summon one’s destiny.
Remember to wear comfortable clothes, bring your mesa, journal, case studies and your rattle and drum if you have one. We will be having nights of ceremony and receiving one more transmission. Again, it is customary to gift the person giving this transmission with a small token of your appreciation.
