how a ropes challenge COURSE strengthens you and your team

Due to COVID-19, Sacred Grove Retreat Center now specializes in Short Term Rentals utilizing the highest safety and social distancing standards. Located on 11 scenic acres in the countryside of Cabarrus County, North Carolina, Sacred Grove Retreat Center offers a place for individuals and small groups to gather, experience adventure, reflect, bond, focus, and grow. There is plenty of room to commune with nature and get away from the stressors of life.

Sacred Grove Retreat Center has 5 lodging options where you can practice social distancing with just yourself or your family.

Until the pandemic is over, we are not doing team building exercises using the High Ropes Challenge Course

Whether you are looking to go on a retreat for quiet inner reflection or with your family or friends, Sacred Grove Retreat Center is the place for you!

RETREATS

Sacred Grove Retreat Center offers space for you to create your own corporate, educational, wellness, or team building event. It is secluded, yet conveniently located for easy access from several major cities.            

TEAM BUILDING

The Ropes Challenge Course presents a unique experience where groups come together to create effective teams. They are empowered through encouragement and team building exercises. It provides a safe, supportive atmosphere to bond, grow, and explore potential. Due to COVID-19, we are not doing any team building activities at the present time.

LODGING

Sacred Grove Retreat Center has five climate-controlled lodging facilities to choose from – a hand-built Log House, the Grove House, the Thoreau Cabin, the Baby Yurt, and the Yummy Yurt. When you rent for the day, weekend, or week, you also get access to all the common areas.

Star Dance Medicine Dance with Margarita Davita @ Sacred Grove Retreat
Sep 21 @ 12:00 pm – Sep 23 @ 5:00 pm

This is an invitational call for Dancers of the Star Dance, a Sacred Visionary Dance for All People given by Spirit through the personal vision of John Pehrson. This three-day dance is about bringing balance to yourself, the land and Earth through fasting and prayer in movement. The Dance renews our connection to our Ancestors, the Star People, and our Cosmic Heritage. It is also about personal inspiration and growth, exploring new potentials and possibilities, finding a new path, or making a needed course correction to realign with our Life Purpose. It is about stepping fully into your power, and a powerful way to accelerate spiritual progress, personally and collectively.

Whether male or female, we each have a masculine and feminine side. Everything in the spiritual and material world dances in an interwoven flow of male and female energy. When we are out of balance, our energies are scattered resulting in the experience of chaos and disconnect with Source. At this time in Creation, we are encouraged, men and women, to RE-MEMBER WHO WE ARE!
As Divine Beings, our journey contains spiritual and interdimensional components. When we dance, we raise our vibration, shifting consciousness into awareness of these aspects reflected in all relationships and, significantly, the relationship with our self. THIS IS THE PATH TO WHOLENESS. Last year clearly offered the opportunities to reflect upon what is out of balance in all relationships, both personally and collectively. 2018 is the Year of the Divine Feminine ushering in the Energies that will support us in our process of coming into balance with every aspect of ourselves. IT IS FROM THIS PLACE OF BALANCE AND EXPANDED CONSCIOUSNESS THAT WE CAN CREATE AND MANIFEST A LIFE, RELATIONSHIPS, PLANET AND INTER-CONNECTED CIVILIZATION THAT IS TRULY REFLECTIVE OF OUR AUTHENTIC DIVINE SELVES!

I invite you to take a journey within and reflect upon what changes you would like to create and manifest in your life and that of the collective and JOIN ME IN DANCING THE 2018 STAR DANCE!
I express Deep Love and Gratitude for Robbie Warren Hill and the OtterDance Team for your support and willingness to sponsor the Star Dance again this year on SEPTEMBER 21-23, 2018 at Sacred Grove Retreat in Gold Hill, NC.

If you are called to serve as a Dancer or member of the Crew, please respond to this invitation or private message me. Feel free to share with anyone who may be interested in joining us.

With Love & Gratitude – Margarita DiVita

An Invitation to Stillness: Tune Out, Tune In, and Just BE @ Sacred Grove Retreat
Jan 10 @ 4:00 pm – Jan 12 @ 11:00 am
Photo by Ju On on Unsplash

Our modern world is LOUD. Busy. Crammed full of stuff, people, information and activities. It’s easy to lose your connection with your inner world, your inner voice.

This voice inside you IS you and it is vast and wise. This voice knows you (maybe better than you know yourself right now) and you know it (though she may be a little unfamiliar these days).

She has wisdom she wants to share.

During this simple retreat, you’ll practice accessing your own inner voice by eliminating distractions: by turning off the noise of life and settling into stillness.

An Invitation to Stillness

Join Molly Barker and Angie Stegall at Sacred Grove Retreat Center in Gold Hill, North Carolina, for a weekend of nature, stillness, and listening. During this retreat, your guides – Molly and Angie  – will create an environment custom-made for listening, reflecting, and speaking your truth in a safe space.

We will be forest bathing outside (yes, even in January), asking ourselves powerful questions, capturing what we discover in our journals, and sharing our truths in sacred circles as we feel called.

For all the details and to register, click here: https://angiestegall.com/stillness-retreat/?fbclid=IwAR3IOqZYzDxiKrsgu4xh3rGc_Rsv1Fw7ABbKH5VKq7ADRoT1ReO5Ky0E_ks

Shamanic Studies with Robbie Warren – (Private Event) @ Sacred Grove Retreat
Mar 6 @ 10:00 am – Mar 8 @ 12:00 pm

Robbie Warren of Otter Dance teaches on-going Shamanic classes. For more information go to www.otterdance.com.

Otter Dance is dedicated to the Spiritual Path of Earth Medicine and Nature, honoring Spirit in all things.

About Robbie:

Robbie Warren, Otter Woman Standing is a modern day Medicine Woman and a traditional Shaman who serves as an intermediary between this world and the spirit world, she holds ceremonies, rituals and healing with the aid of Spirit Guides following the cultural traditions passed down through ancient teachings.

Robbie has been blessed with unique insight and connection to the Spirit World.  Her gifts have come naturally and have been developed and nurtured by surrounding herself with gifted teachers and Medicine People from many cultures around the world: South Africa, Germany, Iceland, Norway, The Netherlands, and Scotland.

Robbie has tremendous creative energy and a sincere desire to seek cooperative partnerships.  She has a talent for using her inspiration to uplift those around her.  Robbie takes pleasure in the richness of all possibilities and wants everyone to live life to the fullest.  Another exceptional gift is her ability to perceive how people limit their growth.  Robbie can help others break old patterns and gain new perspective on what is holding them back from receiving the fuller life they long for and deserve.

Her spiritual path has its roots in Native American tradition but has grown and developed through Robbie’s shamanic experiences through her travels into a practice she calls Earth Medicine.  The emphasis of Earth Medicine is reverence and respect for all living beings, conscious connection to Spirit and a keen awareness of the lessons life has to offer.  Her journey along this path has given created many opportunities to serve as the bridge between the old teachings and the Modern World as a Visionary, Teacher, Writer, Spiritual Leader, and more.

As a Visionary, Robbie was given the vision of this Fire Dance.  The dance she was given is NOT a traditional Native American Ceremony. However, this Dance comes from a time before divides existed in the world.  This dance is steeped in the infinite Circle of the Medicine Wheel that predates man, and we Dance to expand beyond form, dogma and criteria. We Dance to bring the wholeness back to the planet.
