Beth Barling
“My journey into the eclectic spiritual world was shaped by mystical childhood experiences and serendipitous life challenges. These moments deepened my connection to the Divine and sparked a lifelong devotion to exploring and expanding this sacred bond.
As a Priestess, I am committed to humanity’s collective ascension through meditation, prayer, esoteric learning, and spiritual practices. I embrace both the mystical and the human experience, walking with you as you navigate your own spiritual path. By tapping into intuition, I guide you to uncover insights that resonate deeply, especially those that challenge your comfort zones.
Together, we will break through limiting beliefs and ignite an authentic, limitless version of yourself. I believe that within the messy, raw beauty of life lies the opportunity to embrace the fullness of your human experience and step into your highest potential.”
Stephanie Schafer
“I am a Wiccan Priestess, influenced by a Roman Catholic upbringing and a deep passion for history, mythology, and folklore. My practice is rooted in the sacred energies of the earth, the serpent, the moon, and the divine. My garden is my temple, where I grow most of the herbs and flowers used in my creations, and my kitchen is my altar, where transformation and magic come to life.
With a background in psychology, biology, and nursing, I bring a grounded approach to my craft, honoring the harmony between the physical and spiritual realms. My creations are designed to inspire connection, healing, and transformation, helping others turn their homes and lives into sacred spaces.
Whether I’m caring for others as a nurse, wandering the woods, or working alongside my sister in ritual and education, my mission is to guide others in discovering the magic that lies within themselves and the world around them.

"A Safe Container"
The retreat surpassed any expectation I originally had. Beth and Stephanie take such time, effort and energy to curate every detail of these retreats. They created a sacred & safe container for healing, transformation & growth with unwavering support for each of the participants from beginning to end. Women seeing, supporting & holding space for one another is one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve ever had. While I did not know everyone when we began this journey, each of them will forever have a space in my heart through this shared experience. I will forever be grateful for this experience. Much love & many Blessings xo

"Beautiful and Inspiring"
I feel like this whole experience was spiritual. Just laying my eyes and feet upon the lands and having tour guides to give us history and storytelling elements was very beneficial.
Everything was so well thought out and luxurious.
It was beautiful, educational, spiritual, fun, and inspiring!
Jenn R., Gaia Dawn Studios
"I am Worthy"
Connecting with the feminine side of Goddess keeps me connected to my soul and my soul’s needs.
It has given me a new feminine spirituality and I believe the goddesses (divine feminine ascended masters) are here to guide me and I am worthy.
I believe I would go right back into enjoying their company when I see them (of lasting connections).
