Have you been seeing the number 4 everywhere? Are you looking for a chance to have a restorative Saturday morning/afternoon? Get grounded and step through this 4/4 portal with Ani and Xena. 

We invite you to the 4/4 Medicine Wheel mini virtual retreat 4/4/26 from 10AM-2PM. This retreat was largely inspired by the number 4 and its insistence on presenting itself to us on a repetitive basis. We got playful with it and let the number guide us in organizing this retreat.  

We have curated an opportunity to learn about and engage in guided restorative activities that are inspired by the number 4, to connect with others, to relax, reflect & relate, and to carve out some space and time to get grounded and open ourselves to what the gifts and magic the number 4 has to bring. 

Often it is hard to get to retreat centers or events in person rendering the benefits of a retreat inaccessible. This retreat is meant to offset that and remind you that you can have a retreat right in the comfort of your own home. That a relaxed grounded experience can be accessed wherever you are. 

All you’ll need is: a quiet room/space, ear buds or speaker, phone with internet connection for virtual access, the app WhatsApp, a journal, a pen, a yoga mat, blanket and/or bolster pillow, water or tea, 4 smudge sticks of 1 sage, 1 cedar, 1 sweetgrass, 1 tobacco (american spirit cigarette is ok here we do the best we can). 3 of these can be purchased in this smudging kit here https://northlandvisions.com/product/smudge-kit-in-a-bag/ (if these don't come in time don't worry, we can use our imagination)

You're welcome to purchase the smudging sticks anywhere you'd like. It doesn't have to be that store.

This event has a tightly packed schedule! Please be on time and be present for the entire 4 hours of the event. The timeliness and commitment to follow through helps maintain the integrity of the container.
