Sacred Grove Retreat held our Plant Spirit Medicine class so perfectly for 8 straight days.
From the beauty of the land and fire circle to the yurt classroom setting to the student and teacher accommodations… all of our needs were met and exceeded. Ellen made everyone feel like Sacred Grove was our home away from home. Her warm spirit and genuine attentiveness and care throughout the entire week made the difference between a good week and a wonderful week. We at the Blue Deer Center are so grateful to have such a perfect place near Charlotte to host our PSM Healer Training in the coming year. Thank you, Sacred Grove Retreat!
