Open Spirits Retreat 2022

An end of year celebration unlike any other Christmas Party


Written by Jordan Alice Fyfe


How to even put into words how grateful we are for this amazing team.

Morgan absolutely spoilt us with love and held a space where we could all let go of 2022 and set new intentions for next year. To say I felt surrounded by like minded people doesn’t feel potent enough. This was such a collection of beautiful souls, kindred spirits, and creative energy that I left feeling lighter, held by our collective energy.

We started the day with a little snicky-snack of nourishing breakfast, then moved into an opening circle led by Kae, with a stunning, decadent cacao ceremony. We spent the morning with Delphine from Gandha Temple creating our own unique natural perfumes. I have honestly never owned a more perfect perfume. Then we worked together to reset the table for a long table lunch of glorious salads made by our very own Morgan. We chatted, laughed, shared and all tried to get the perfect Instagram snap.

After lunch came one of my favorite things, we relaxed. So many end of year parties are go, go, go of overwhelming energy. But Morgan knows how to take care of our energy and live slowly. We lay down, drank tea, chat quietly, journaled, and felt so comfortable. We took that wholesome energy into the next movement, creating an earth alter together, led by Prue from Earth Altering. By this time, we were all so in sync with each other that we communicated and created together with such ease and freedom. The resulting alter was wonderfully beautiful.

To finish, Wren helped us stretch out our bodies with some gentle yoga and a closing circle to round everything off.
