About Our Retreat
Our theme this year is Finding your Roots: Connecting with your Ancestors. The retreat is September 25-27 near Mechanicsburg, PA. Join us as we soak in the nature that surround us, we learn how to work with and honor those ancestors who guide us, and partake in a ritual or two.
Spirits of the Woods is all about exploring who you are, nourishing your Divine Spark, and building a community of spiritually minded individuals. Our adult-only, all genders welcome retreat features workshops focused on our theme, rituals that feed you spirit, and social time to grow and renew friendships.
This year's theme looks at the roles our ancestors have in who we are today, finding your spiritual ancestors, and ways to communicate and honor those who walked before you. Our workshops include meditations, crafts, discussions, and knowledge sharing.
