NATURE'S REMEDY
Plant Medicine Retreats in a supported and trusted environment
Sacred Ground Retreats DOES NOT SELL plant medicine
Plant Medicine is known for its connectedness properties and allows people to have a mind-manifesting experience while still being grounded and aware of their current surroundings.
Plant Medicine often leads people on a spiritual journey where they are able to experience connectedness to God, ( or if you prefer, the Universe, Source, or Mother Earth). This connectedness goes beyond a cognitive knowing of God and is often referred to as “experiencing or embodying.”
*Sacred Ground Retreats does not sell Plant Medicine mushrooms. Participants will purchase plant medicine through a local apothecary.
