Nourishing your Divine Self

Retreat Dates coming soon

None of us expected life to unfold the way it has done in 2020. All of us have encountered a situation that has altered our lives and the way we think.

For many of us our dreams and goals, are no longer the same and for some life might feel like it is falling apart.

Our daily practices and rituals are really important, particularly at this time. This helps us to stay centered and focused as we navigate our way through life as we know it.

This is a time to stay connected, grounded and centered through the heart and honoring our own sacredness with compassion for all beings everywhere, and to shine your light.

Clearly building your immune system with a clean and healthy diet, following daily practices and simple ceremony. Doing yoga and exercise and being out in nature are all factors to consider to rebuild and strengthen your connection to Mother Earth to function in this new time.

My goal is to help people feel good again, grounded and clear and be able to function at a very high level, your personal best so you can help yourself and all those around you.

During the retreat you will be offered many different and wonderful opportunities to heal, reconnect, rejuvenate and rebalance.

With wonderful and nourishing food, through movement & dance, yoga, meditation, communing with nature, sound healing and ceremony, you will have the chance to rebuild your life in an easeful and loving way.

Let it be a time to reconnect with Mother Nature and learn how to harness her power and bring nature within, to renew your energy and vitality and become illuminated beings once again.

Walk into this new moment with strength and oneness and raise your vibration to a new level.

I joined Jill Pettijohn's 'Nourishing Your Divine Self' retreat back in June without quite knowing what to expect. It's hard to put into words how much those three days affected me and stayed with me this entire summer. Jill created such a safe and open environment that allowed for some truly beautiful and honest connections with the other women in attendance. The Flower and Fire Ceremonies were among my favorite parts of the weekend. Something difficult was released and something unnamable was gained. The retreat was the best gift I could've given myself this year and I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Hope we cross paths again soon.

All my love,

Diane

I sought out Jill’s retreat because I was exhausted and depleted; and needed some time away. But, soon after arrival, I realized I had come because I had a bigger emotional burden to lay down. The group was diverse—all many different reasons for choosing to retreat and life experience. And, in Jill’s gentle yet capable hands we all melded into a larger purpose and something new emerged: a beautiful container for healing. Assisted by the lovely Marion and the exquisite Panther Valley as a backdrop, Jill created a series of rituals and experiences that offered us all opportunities to learn more about ourselves, to commune with each other and the wisdom of our surroundings and to transform. That weekend will long anchor in my memory as a powerful turning point, a moment of deep releasing and new found freedom; and, for all of the magical moments that transpired. Profound gratitude to Jill, Marion, our fire ceremony guides, and Menla for this gift.

I know it sounds cliche but four days with Jill at Menla was transformational. Rather than inundating me with educational materials, technical handouts and boring lectures about so-called healthy eating, Jill fostered a caring, supportive and spiritual experience which facilitated my ability to look inside to find my own answers and solutions.

The yoga, sound bath and sweat lodge were great, and the food was delicious.

Jill put together a thoughtful program which had just the right balance of guided activities and free time for reflection and thought.

I cannot wait to participate in her next one.

Wonderful retreat, Jill! I loved all of the offerings. The teachers were all fantastic. The food was great. My digestion was the best of my adult life. I even lost a few pounds.

Thanks again!

Shirley Golgoski They say when the student is ready the teacher appears ~ I had the honor to meet Jill 1 yr ago. I was not aware of Jill's path yet. When I heard of the Nourishing the Divine Self Retreat I decided to go. I was Truly blown away by Jill's Compassionate, Healing, Nourishing Capability. I have been struggling w/life for some years, this retreat w/ Jill opened up many doors. A true gift I gave myself. Jill brought in all the right people & the knowledge of the right food helped many HEAL in the room. She has been following thru and checking in well after the retreat I have been gifted in many ways from this Divine Retreat. My wish is that everyone could experience Jill's gift once. The Sweat Lodge was the Best! ~ Thank you Jill I will forever be in Sister Sprite w/u.
