As the wheel of the year turns toward Samhain, el Día de los Muertos, and All Hallow’s Eve, many cultures across the Earth enter a sacred season of remembrance. This is a time for honouring the Ancestors, turning inward, and meeting the mystery with ritual, celebration, and reverence. In many traditions, this threshold is seen as a powerful gateway, one that invites presence, prayer, and deep attention.

In this ceremonial retreat, participants are invited to honour the Ancestors through healing practices that recognize life and death as intimately connected. The gathering is held as an opportunity to enter the darkening season consciously, with reverence and intention, and to remember those who have gone before us with love and devotion.

Together, the group will create a sacred altar for beloved departed ones, prepare a feast for the Ancestors through the making of Despacho, and celebrate life through song, dance, and ceremony. The retreat offers space for meaningful healing around generational wounding, supporting participants in clearing the past so they may consciously shape the future.

Questions explored during the retreat include:

What gifts live within your ancestral legacy?
How can you deepen your felt connection to the Ancestors?
What blessings do the Ancestors offer, and how can you align with them?
What medicine lives in your heart, waiting to be expressed in your life and on this Earth?
How can remembering those who came before support the unique medicine you bring forward?

Commitment — facing inherited patterns with courage and compassion.

Connection — restoring relationship with ancestors, land, and lineage wisdom.

Communion — healing within the larger family of past, present, and future beings.

Across all Visionary Hearts events, members are welcomed into a carefully held ceremonial field devoted to embodied healing, relational truth, and spiritual maturity. While each gathering carries its own focus, rhythm, and medicine, every retreat is held within the same devotional atmosphere of care, discernment, and integration.

Within this field, participants can expect support through earth-honouring ceremony rooted in living lineage traditions, heart-centered practices that bring love into the body and daily life, guided shamanic journeywork and inner listening, sacred council and community dialogue, restorative movement, breathwork, and somatic practices, as well as time for rest, reflection, and renewal in beautiful natural surroundings.

Ongoing integration support is also included, with monthly community integration circles designed to help what is awakened in ceremony continue into everyday life through reflection, practice, and relational support over time.
