My experience at Swan Lake was beautiful and profound! The hosts of the retreat do a phenomenal job of creating a space that feels sacred and grounding from the moment you set foot on the property. Attending ceremony in an open meadow, with the soothing sounds of the animals in the background was a magical experience! I want to write a book about every detail and why it was so magical, but I’ll just put it simply; this place was absolutely PERFECT For the experience that it was intended to foster. Without hesitation, I give Swan Lake five stars!
I had the most beautiful experience sitting with grandmother in this group. Our medicine server provided us with one on one care during ceremony as well as during integration. His energy was beautiful and very grounding during ceremony which helped grandmother be able to work through me more. His serving assistants were very attentive to the needs of all the guests. It was beautiful how well they held space for us all. Swan Lake was the perfect location for ceremony. The land was so serene and was a beautiful backdrop for the profound healing I experienced. The horses, goats & pond added a cathartic layer of healing and connection. The service dog even assisted in ceremony and would come around and check on everyone and lay next to us. Every detail from sleeping arrangements to food was well planned out and executed by those at Swan Lake. All the beautiful healing instruments (gongs, drums, & sound bowls) that Swan Lake provided for the participants to play during the day were so very healing. Everything flowed so effortlessly and worked out beautifully. I can’t thank Mt. Shiva and Swan Lake enough. I will definitely be attending again 🙏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
