THIS RETREAT HAS BEEN LOVINGLY DESIGNED TO NOURISH YOUR SOUL, OPEN YOUR HEART, AND RECONNECT YOU WITH YOUR MOST AUTHENTIC SELF. OVER THE THREE DAYS, YOU’LL BE IMMERSED IN A RANGE OF TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCES THAT INVITE DEEP HEALING, JOY, AND CONNECTION.

• RATTLE CRAFTING RITUAL & SACRED SONG CIRCLE WITH MELE – A HANDS-ON CREATIVE AND CEREMONIAL SPACE WHERE YOU’LL CRAFT YOUR OWN RATTLE AND BE INVITED TO SHARE VOICE, STORY, AND SACRED SONGS IN A SAFE AND SUPPORTIVE CIRCLE.
AS WE COME TO THE END OF OUR JOURNEY TOGETHER, WE’LL GATHER IN A BEAUTIFUL CLOSING CEREMONY, INTEGRATING ALL THAT HAS BEEN RECEIVED, WITNESSED, AND REMEMBERED.

Healing Hands of the hunter
ABOUT CHLOE – FOUNDER OF HEALING HANDS OF THE HUNTER & BREATH SOUL CONNECTION
CHLOE IS A DEVOTED MUM OF TWO AND A PASSIONATE ADVOCATE FOR HOLISTIC HEALING, WITH OVER 18 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN THE HEALTH AND WELLBEING INDUSTRY. SHE IS THE HEART AND SOUL BEHIND HEALING HANDS OF THE HUNTER AND BREATH SOUL CONNECTION, TWO PRACTICES DEDICATED TO SUPPORTING OTHERS ON THEIR UNIQUE PATHS TO HEALING AND SELF-DISCOVERY.
CHLOE’S JOURNEY INTO THE HEALING ARTS WAS BORN FROM HER OWN LIFE EXPERIENCES. AFTER ENDURING YEARS OF TRAUMA IN PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS, IT WAS THE END OF HER EIGHT-YEAR MARRIAGE THAT BECAME THE CATALYST FOR DEEPER SELF-EXPLORATION. THIS TURNING POINT LED HER TO IMMERSE HERSELF IN HEALING MODALITIES THAT WOULD ULTIMATELY TRANSFORM HER LIFE—AND INSPIRE HER TO GUIDE OTHERS IN DOING THE SAME.
ALREADY GROUNDED IN BODYWORK AND THERAPEUTIC HEALING THROUGH HER BUSINESS HEALING HANDS OF THE HUNTER, CHLOE DISCOVERED BREATHWORK AS A PROFOUNDLY POWERFUL TOOL IN HER OWN RECOVERY.
CHLOE WILL BE AVAILABLE DURING FREE TIME THROUGHOUT THE RETREAT FOR MASSAGES AND PRIVATE BREATHWORK SESSIONS, AS WELL AS FACILITATING A GROUP BREATH & SOUND EXPERIENCE ALONGSIDE ANNEKE.

Rattle Crafting Ritual
THE CENTER OF THE WORLD LIES WITHIN US; THERE WE ARE ONE WITH BOTH WORLDS, THE VISIBLE AND THE INVISIBLE. WITH THE HELP OF A RATTLE, WE CAN SUMMON THE VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE SPIRITS WE ARE IN CONTACT WITH IN THE ANIMAL, PLANT AND MINERAL REALMS AS WELL AS ELEMENTAL INTELLIGENCE, OUR PERSONAL GUIDES, GUARDIANS, PROTECTORS, THE ANGELS AND OUR ANCESTORS. ALL THESE BENEVOLENT SPIRITS EXIST - ALL WE NEED TO DO IS CALL UPON THEM AND REQUEST THEIR GUIDANCE, CO-OPERATION AND SUPPORT.
TOGETHER WE WILL WEAVE OUR PRAYERS AND INTENTIONS INTO SHAMANIC TOOLS AND INSTRUMENTS WITH THE BEAUTY, MAGIC AND MEDICINE OF ANIMAL HIDE, TREE STICKS, BONES, CRYSTAL CHIPS, GRAINS, LEATHER, FEATHERS, LAMBS WOOL, ESSENTIAL OILS AND ONE ANOTHER. UPON COMPLETION WE WILL LEARN, SHARE AND SING SACRED SONGS FROM AROUND THE WORLD TO ACTIVATE THE INTENTIONS IMBUED IN THESE SPIRITUAL TOOLS AND INSTRUMENTS.
