What to Expect

Four Baskets Equinox Retreats are designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and return to yourself—through guided experiences, restorative space in nature, and time to simply be.

Our Spring Equinox retreat theme is Walking with the Grandmothers ~Red Thread Ancestral Journey and is being offered in conjunction with the Divine Mother annual retreat at Dauphin Island!

We will explore the morphogenetic field of our ancestors, honoring and healing your personal lineage, and weaving sacred intentions into a Red Thread Prayer Cord (sometimes called a Witches Ladder.)

And much more…. see below!

~Early Bird Pricing Available before December 1st~
