Jungle Eco Stay
THE JOURNEY7
This offering is for Women only
We intend to facilitate a sacred space for her essence, mysteries, and medicine to be fructified in a container where we focus on the flame of holy sisterhood.
WE ARE GATHERING FOR A WEEK OF COMMUNION AND INNER EXPLORATIONS IN THE MYSTERY SCHOOL OF MOTHER NATURE.
The Great Goddess is guiding us to meet in the sacred lands of Bali where we are invited to journey with and learn from her messengers and helpers of the devic plant kingdoms for a week. Immersed in the vibrant heart of the Balinese jungles we will be nestled in the pristine forests of a green sanctuary and Eco Resort housing 9 beautiful open-air overwater bungalows which invites us to be intimately connected with Nature throughout our entire stay. The estate offers us the luxury of being enveloped in and inspired by a wide range of medicinal plants and native flora and fauna, a private waterfall and fresh water creek to swim in and refresh our bodies, the drinking water we will be ingesting comes from a nearby spring which has been further filtered, the food offered has been grown on-site using organic, sustainable practices and is harvested before each meal - we will be nourished by and fully immersed in the energy of the land through her abundant body of Life.
OUR INTENTION is to weave a ceremony and living prayer for the enlivening and awakening of the individual and collective Heart Seed - The True Self - The Innermost being. The inner Christos Sophia Essence which is known in esoteric teachings as Divine Love & Wisdom. We will be doing this great work accompanied and guided by our allies of nature who are portals to and gatekeepers of the Inner Mysteries of the Soul, and who; when worked with intentionally and reverently; can assist us in remembering, activating, and restoring the Divine Template of our True Being.
If you feel called to deepen your relationship with LIFE - the Earth, your Self, a Community, and the Divine - and if you seek to deepen your knowledge of your own inner world and unravel the mysteries, medicine, and creative essence of your being - then this journey may be a catalyst for that intention to seed, sprout, grow and bloom into a garden filled with Divine Inspiration, Wisdom and Wonder over the next years of your life.
We will plant a new heart seed in our Inner Garden during this week.
A seed that will nourish the igneous flame of our spirit and inspire the growth of its uniqueness and wisdom.
THE OFFERING
This week long immersion is aimed to inspire you beyond the ordinary rule-book of self-development and make space for the intuition of the heart and the creative power of your womb wisdom to lead the way.
You will be a part of weaving this experience together with a group of 12 international women from different walks of life who all aspire to serve in the Divine Plan by becoming true to our self through embracing the multifaceted fullness of the being that we are, have been, and will become. Our inner work will grow from us restoring and exploring the sacred relationship we have with The Spirits of Life manifested in Nature - in the physical and spiritual realms.
YOU WILL RECIEVE
During this week together you will learn how to communicate and work with the devas of plants and nature spirits to restore inner harmony, activate and reinvigorate your creative channels through sound and intuitive creativity, explore the inner world of your soul and spirit, and how to set up rituals for self-purification and initiation with plant teachers and their angelic regents.
We will focus on building a secure and fertile foundation in your Inner Garden which will support you as you continue to explore and initiate your own plant-journeys and allyships when you return home.
During the 5 days of our plant journey we will ingest a magic tea infusion 3 times daily. Together with prayer, meditation, songs and different practices each day we will open up to commune with the Deva of the plant and establish a relationship with the medicine and mysteries it is a gatekeeper to.
What makes the tea magical is the prayers, intentions, and love that we're infusing the medicine in as it is brewed. We work with the Deva of the plant to activate the medicine which when ingested over a period of time in a ceremonial setting may give us an internal experience that allows us to access the inner worlds where we can receive intuitive messages, spiritual guidance, keys to understanding ourselves, healing of the energy bodies, past life memories, and divine inspiration, to mention a few. It is important to pay attention to our dreams during these days as this is where we will receive a lot of guidance!
Working with plants in this way is different to just drinking a regular cup of tea every day. We are opening up a portal for deep healing, spiritual guidance, and inner illumination to lead us into a stronger connection with the Divine. Our intention is to commune with the angels of the plant teacher and the Divine Mother Goddess to do this work. It is not unusual to have a day or two in which we feel heavy, tired, uninspired, or emotional when we open up to work with a plant ceremonially. These days often hold important keys for us to better understand ourselves and our hidden thought-processes which many times are playing out subconsciously. It is an opportunity for us to be present and compassionate with ourselves. If this happens it is a sign that inner purification is under way!
The pure heart-medicine that we are gifted with from working with the Divine Mother and the Devas of the plants in this way is like receiving a treasure of the outmost radiant light. It is a journey that will grow into a garden of holy delights if one choose to continue integrating and reverently working with them along the path. The mysteries of our own internal being is gradually revealed, and the deeper we get to know it the more we will understand the greater mysteries of life and how to serve as a steward and ally of Mother Nature; and through that; become a guiding light for the awakening humanity.
In order for us to embody the light of truth, we must continually seek to understand the shadow that we are born into as we incarnated into this world. Because within the shadow we find the keys to our own inner transformation and self-realization. Every human being has a shadow and internal darkness that must be faced and learned from in order for us to grow spiritually. If we can learn to meet it as a teacher instead of an obstacle we will find much greater wisdom, power, and love within ourselves as we continue to do this work. The plants help us immensely when facing these kind of challengers, they are true light workers and always lead us to the teachings and experiences that will support us on the path when we are ready!
WORKING WITH PLANTS AS ALLIES TO BIRTH THE SPIRIT SELF
OUR PLANT ALLIES
The Great Goddess is calling us to Bali to journey with an ally that is steeped in mystery and reverently depicted as symbols of purity and enlightenment across many cultures around the world. We are given two options which makes it kind of fun and interesting, but a bit of a quest to choose because they both speak volumes to our hearts. We have decided to wait with announcing the chosen plant teacher until we are arriving in Bali in April and have initiated our stages of preparation and introduced ourselves to the land. What we can tell you though, is that the plant we will be journeying with is present and abundant at the land we will be staying.
Me (Jennifer) and Cara will work with the chosen plant for a month before we open up the immersion to set our internal space for the container in alignment with our teacher.
The way the plants guide and teach us is many times mysterious and adventurous, we want to honour the process and surrender to the intuitive guidance we receive so far and ask you to trust that which ever plant we will be working with is going to be in the highest alignment for us all. This is the intention that we walk into this choice with. Full trust in the Divine as we ask for her illuminate the path of the Heart.
Mugwort will set the foundation for us and prepare the body (the inner soil) to receive the seed of our initiating plant ally. On the second day we will work with Mugwort to cleanse and nourish the soil of our inner being so that the seed we are planting can germinate and root with great success and alignment.
Jennifer has been working intimately with Mugwort for 5 years and have during this time developed a cleansing and preparatory treatment which has been given to her by the Deva of the plant and is always shared with the students she works with before they enter the plant realms.
The Deva of Mugwort is a spirit of ancient origins and is known as the Mother of Herbs. She is a guardian and protector of the Earth and she's as old and wise as her history. She's been here since the beginning of time and is reverently gatekeeping the entrance and pathways within the astral and higher worlds which she can guide us through when entering her school. Her medicine is like the moon - which luminary she is deeply connected to - she illuminates the dark and make whatever is stagnant and repressed within our psyche, nervous system, and sacral chakra to transform into atoms of new light and inner revelations so that we can let go of the old and gain insight and inspiration into the new.

JOIN US ON THE JOURNEY
WHO IS THIS FOR
Women from all walks of life are invited to join us on this journey, no matter your history or previous experience of working with plants. What is required is a heart that is devoted to The Path of Self-remembrance through self-reflection of that which is perceived internally and externally. The Divine Mirror that is life itself - The Great Goddess and her manifested forms which invites us to know our Self and expand our consciousness through her school in physical incarnation. We are students in a world build upon her Wisdom, impregnated by the Divine Heart of The Great Father of All, and we seek to remember our own inner divinity through doing this work with nature.
We must embrace the fullness of our being if we aspire to know the truth of who we are beyond the limited lens of programmed perception. This journey is created as a sacred container for all that needs to be seen, felt, expressed, heard, received, and known, to come into the light and be fully embraced. It is only when we embrace that which we reject that we can know it, understand it, and transform the root of separation back into love.
