4 Elements Events
Elemental Wellness Workshop Series
Registration closes December 22, 2024!
Are you…
living in a state of stress?
wanting deeper more meaningful connections?
feeling bored, stuck, or uninspired?
What if the resources you need to find peace, clarity and joy already exist inside of you? Register for one or all of the 4 Elements Wellness Series Workshops offered twice a year. Nature and animals (horses, chickens, dogs and/or cats) can be important allies on the journey to joy and embodiment. Art can be a powerful tool for integration and self-expression. We incorporate it all into this series. With an emphasis on relational, nature-based and expressive art practices, attendees may participate in experiences that foster mental health and well-being. This series will draw lessons about resilience and connection from the lessons of the four primary elements: Earth, Fire, Water and Air. While each session relates to the one before, participants may attend some or all five of the sessions. Each program offers a brief discussion on elemental applications, a related question for contemplation, and an engaging nature-inspired art experience. We will emphasize the creative process over the product.
For all genders ages 16+
NO HORSE OR ART EXPERIENCE NEEDED!
4 Elements Nature Retreat
Are you yearning for a deeper connection with nature and with yourself? Do you need an emotional reset from the fast-paced pressure of daily living? Want to ignite your creativity and passion? This full day immersive retreat is just the thing your soul has been asking for. We will integrate lessons and wisdom of Fire, Earth, Water and Air into our day together. Unlike the Elemental Wellness Classes, we will plan to be outdoors for most of the day. We will be encouraging slow, deep, meaningful, connections guided through activities, meditation, exploration, ritual and ceremony.
This full day retreat is the final session of the Elemental Wellness Series. You are invited to attend if you have attended one, some or all of the previous classes.

Retreat Overview:
This retreat is a deeply connective experience in the rolling hills outside of Mount Horeb, Wisconsin. We will explore metaphors associated with each of the four Elements through activities, guided meditation, relational experiences, and interactions with animals, art and nature.
Preparation:
In preparation for the retreat, Elizabeth or Angele will send you a detailed itinerary, release forms and other paperwork that will help you prepare for your weekend.
Your Retreat Time:
Please arrive between 8:30 and 9:00am Saturday morning. Vegetarian and Gluten Free options will be available for both breakfast and lunch. Please be sure to specify dietary requirements on the registration forms. You are also encouraged to bring a water bottle and any snacks that you find particularly nourishing and supportive. You will have time to arrive, settle in and meet other guests.
We will have a variety of activities and facilitated experiences for you throughout the day. Choice is integral to healing and well-being. Therefore, all activities are available to you but you can choose to participate in as much or as little as you’d like.
We will have a closing ceremony where you will be invited to consider how to incorporate the gifts and insights from your retreat time into your daily life. We will close our ceremonial time together at 4:00pm Saturday afternoon, having cultivated a deeper relationship to self, nature and our own inner truths.
