Women of the Earth’s Eternal Light

Join us for 3 days of Plant Medicine & Sisterhood

The plants are teachers, healers, and emissaries of light for the human spirit. They welcome us on a deep journey of the heart; connecting us with the one song being eternally sung in the many chords and octaves of light. Without their medicine, we would cease to exist.

The plants carry the original codes of Creation. They help to protect and illuminate the human spirit, empowering our true and original power.

Most herbal knowledge has been kept alive through the voices, songs, and presence of the women who tend the Earth, handed down from mother to daughter, a sacred kind of inheritance. In these 3 days, we will dive deeply into the medicine, mystery and power of the local women’s medicinal plants.

As each song holds a unique melody, each person a unique persona, each plant has a unique Spirit; a doorway of consciousness.

During this three day immersion we will explore our own unique medicine as Stewards and Women of the Plants; bridges of Heaven on Earth. 🌏 

This immersion is a combination of enhancing our inner capacity to listen, releasing energies that are between us and a silent open heart, playful space with the luminous plant kingdom & sisterhood, deep prayer, and herbal education.

It was in the deep Amazon 11 years ago that the spirits of the plants first began to speak to me. Years in the Amazon and studying with various indigenous lineages led me to NC where I was told to bring the training and teachings of the jungle to my homelands. When I arrived in Appalachia, I was brought to my knees in awe of the beauty of the forests and the plant teachers that dwell here.

The Appalachian mountains are precious; some of the oldest mountains on the planet. They are older than the North Star, the Atlantic Ocean, dinosaurs and trees. (Yes, you read that correctly.) These mountains hold an overarching Spirit that is intact and empowering the remembrance of women to claim their innate Earth medicine.

I am excited to offer this special 3 day Women’s Immersion into Plant Medicine

We will dive into an herbal medicine education, focusing specifically on women’s medicine. In conjunction with teachings about the plants and their medicine, we will hold ceremony and learn tools to connect with the spirits of the plants as well as the overarching spirit of the land.

This is a unique way to receive an Herbal education focused on our local indigenous plants, primarily women’s medicine, while awakening your oracular capacity to listen and connect with “Nature Sophia,” the Spirit of Nature.

What Women Are Sharing about Women of the Earth’s Eternal Light Retreat: 

“Women of the Earth’s Eternal Light Retreat was so releasing and nourishing to my mind, body and spirit. Julie is a ray of light that holds such a beautiful frequency allowing us to feel very safe, and invites us to meet the truest, real, and rawness of ourselves and the things we may have been carrying. The sweat lodge really helped me to clear what felt like very heavy baggage and I continued to release more and more over the course of the weekend. The days were filled with tears, laughter, delicious food, nature, and intentional connection with like-minded women. And of course, I also learned some amazing things about the plants! This was the exact weekend I needed to release some long held narratives which allowed me to leave the property feeling so much lighter and much more full. Thank you Julie, you are truly walking your path!”
Thank you sister!
– Brit – May 2025

“To the wild and from the wild,
this is where I rest.
This is where I live,
and this is life.
The women of the plants deepen me.
The forest floor holds me.
Her magic is pure and untamed.
Dive deep through the hearts cave
to remember why you came.
Rise again with the wisdom
of the under layers
beneath the trees
and into the roots
rise again.
For the leaves of the Forest hold the vitality
to rise to the heavens and down again
by way of a hollow stem
and the glow of a dandelion
for the forest has always held me.”
-Lily River Karp – May 2025
