EmBodhied Retreats
How this is taught
There’s no one right way to practice.
But there is a foundation worth knowing. Brittany teaches the traditional meanings of colors, herbs and tarot cards, and the history behind them, so you understand what you’re working with.
From there, you’ll learn to listen to your own intuition. If a plant or a card means something different to you, that matters. You’ll leave knowing the tradition and trusting yourself.
The Four Days
Protect what is sacred. Cut what drains it. Come back to the body. Create.
Thursday
The Threshold
Arrive, open the circle and build the communal altar. We begin with foundations: cleansing, protection and warding. You make your first protective working to take home.
Friday
The Root
A plant walk on the land, then the long table becomes an apothecary. Herbal craft by day, womb and pelvic embodiment in the afternoon, and a properly taught cord cutting that evening.
Saturday
The Fire
Beltane. Spell construction, candle and fire magic, and a glamour oil you formulate yourself, building to the Beltane fire ceremony after dark.
Sunday
The Becoming
Divination, integration and a final working you design on your own. We close the altar and you go home with your grimoire and everything you made.
What you will learn and make
Not twelve spells to copy.
The craft of building your own.
Protection and warding
Protection and warding The difference between cleansing, protecting, warding and banishing, and a threshold ward you formulate yourself.
Womb Connection
Breath, sensation and a guided journey into the pelvic space as a center of creation, desire and intuition.
Herbs and the land
Identification before correspondence, ethical harvesting, and a fully stocked apothecary to work from.
Tarot and divination
How the deck works as a system, and how to trust what you see in the cards you pull.
Cord cutting, taught properly
Cord cutting is not person cutting. Learn the anatomy of the ritual, then perform one.
Glamour magic
Blend a personal glamour oil and learn the ritual around it. Less about being seen, more about deciding how you inhabit yourself.
Candle and fire magic
Colors, dressing and carving, taught as a language rather than a law.
Spell architecture
How to build a working from intention to closing, so you leave able to write your own.
The Land
Out on the land as spring wakes up.
We gather on a private property Cavalier, North Dakota.
Spring comes slowly here: cool mornings, trees just leafing out, the first plants pushing up. We gather what the land is truly offering and work from the apothecary for the rest.
Beltane night
Give it to the fire. Then plant something.
Beltane fires were lit for purification and protection. Ours holds both halves of the work: release what has been taking up the soil, then put real seeds in real earth for what you want to grow.
