"The Only Way is Through" 

~Robert Frost

We walk the wheel of the human lifecycle from the inside out. Something is always dying and being born. According to Scientific America, “more than 50 billion cells die in our bodies each day and about 330 billion cells are replaced daily. In 80 to 100 days, 30 trillion will have replenished—the equivalent of a new you.” Wow!

Our waking life is similar as we evolve physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. This is why rites of passage have always been considered ‘special markers’ of one cycle or stage to the next. It’s ancient way to honor and celebrate these passages through ritual and ceremony. Especially with birth, puberty, marriage, death, and other culturally significant moments in time.

Sacred Dwelling curates ceremonies of passage that caters to one’s personal and collective journeys. The design and guided offering weaves attention to detail for each authentic person or group incorporating needs, desires, and visions of how they want to honor a rite of passage through the power of ceremony and heart medicine.

Sacred Dwelling has had the soulful opportunity to curate ceremonies and healing experiences for the following life passages, celebrations, and transitions:

🦉 Life Memorials (death, love, loss, and honor)

🦉 Sacred Sobriety Circles

🦉 The Bride 'To Be' and her Sister Bridesmaids

🦉 Surviving Divorce, Cancer, and Addiction

🦉 Beauty Way and 'Mother To Be'

It is always a privilege to walk beside somebody on a personal journey. Please contact us if you need a potent passage in your life curated into ceremony that celebrates, honors, and creates deep meaning for you.

Grief composting is a supportive way to release pain and suffering through movement, breath, and sound. It creates space in our beings for more emotional liberation and joyful living by intentionally shifting what doesn’t serve you any longer. Grief composting helps give birth to new life force energy filled with purpose, balance, empowerment, and whatever it is you personally need on your grief journey. Suffering changes you. If you let it, what happens to you becomes fuel for something new.

"Change happens through movement and movement heals" ~ Joseph Pilates

Sound healing is a powerful therapy that utilizes specific frequencies to improve our multidimensional well-being. Instruments, music, and vocal toning emit vibrations that resonate within the body. The utilized frequencies affect our cells, tissues, and brainwave patterns. The harmonious sounds guide people into tranquil meditative states, which induces emotional release, stress reduction, energetic rebalancing, and deep relaxation. A variety of practitioners offer solely focused sound experiences along with a combination of other healing arts. 

The creation and birth of a medicine drum is a sacred journey of self-awareness and intention. We will fuse together alchemical elements to create and birth your medicine drum. The potency of your drum's unique voice and medicine will grow richer and stronger through the years of releasing its song. This workshop is offered three times a year with Suzanne Silvermoon, who has thirty plus years experience and wisdom with this sacred art.

Join Adam Riehl; Sound Healer, Reiki Master, and Yoga Teacher, in the yurt, nestled in the woods, every other month for Yoga Nidra and a Sound Bath! This is a chance to relax, receive, and restore as you are supported on your own vibrational experience. Adam will guide you into a 'yogic sleep' state and deeper into 'rest and digest'. The second half, he will offer a sound bath to soak in the healing vibrations.Tibetan and crystal bowls, drums, percussion instruments, and more will be soothing you. The incredible acoustics in 'the round' will enhance the magic.

A variety of Yogi practitioners come to Sacred Dwelling to offer a daylong Yoga retreat. The purpose of a retreat is to allow yogis to deepen their practice, in mind, body, and soul, without the distractions of life. Sessions are tailored to a variety of yoga styles depending on the facilitator's offering. It is a nurturing experience immersed in nature whether in the yurt or under the 'Big Tent'. The land has space to relax,  to just 'be' in the natural environment, to walk on a myriad of trails, and enjoy delicious meals together.

Meditation can be loosely defined as a mental discipline designed to promote concentration and the capacity for what is called "one-pointedness". The mind is sometimes likened to a pool of water that is muddy and turbulent; the practice of meditation calms the mind so as to be able to see its true nature clearly.  Different types of meditation help to still the mind, unify the body, breath, and open up a connection to the deeper levels of consciousness.​

We have a 30’ Pacific Yurt nestled in the woods. The yurt is a dwelling that provides an indoor 'open floor' dry space. It is a round house or lodge that naturally evokes sacred circles, which represents unity, infinity, connection, wholeness, and inclusion. The origin of this circular dwelling began in Central Asia as the primary style of housing, especially in Mongolia. In this cultural context, it is seen as a link between the people and the extreme nature in which they live. Here at SD, you can experience this among the forest of trees and animals. One can feel as if they are out in the elements when the rain falls, yet you are amongst the warmth of the wood stove. The symphonic croaks of the frogs or hoots of the owls penetrates your being as if you are right next to them. The acoustics are magical inside and out.

We have a 30’ x 60’ Marquees Stretch tent for rent seasonally between May and September. It's perfect for weddings, reunions, retreats, and most outdoor events between May and Sept. This dwelling is majestic in stature and strong in the elements. The special nylon material shape shifts to meet your needs. The acoustics are incredible.
