Wisdom In The Wind
A Retreat Experience in Wellness & Magick
Jan 30th-Feb 2nd, 2025
4 Days, 3 Nights
Joshua Tree, California
“Pueblo De Tierra”
Magickal Wellness
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Or maybe you just want to play.
Let’s create the spark and ignite your fire.
Exceptional Experiences
Let’s gather in celebration! Let’s listen to the desert wind.
Intention + attention = manifestation. We shift our reality and create change by applying this basic principle. This is an element of our magick.
Wisdom In The Wind goes from January 30th to February 2nd, 2025, and will honor Imbolc, the halfway point between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. Imbolc is honoring the time when nature re-emerges after the long Winter darkness. Infused with the essence of the Celtic Goddess of Fire, Brigid, together we will ignite our flame under the desert sky.
Through the lens of play, we connect more deeply with ourselves and others. Empowerment through sharing, gathering, and ceremony creates bonding experiences that can last a lifetime.
Creativity opens our hearts and allows us to infuse our unique frequency into that creation. Wisdom in the Wind will unlock the muse within. Intentional circles, ceremonies, workshops, and crafts are an opportunity to tap into your creative spark and access deeper insight.
Hi, I’m Leah and I love to create the space for these experiences! Flowing in harmony with beauty, nature, and great food. Let’s celebrate the joy that comes with feeling lighter and brighter…Let’s play!
A Cum Laude graduate with a BA in Theater Arts + Minors in Child Development and Family Development, Leah is comfortable exploring the depths of human connection and creativity. After 20 years in the Los Angeles market as a business owner and creative, she moved her family to Bali for a new chapter in 2022. Exploring local culture, the Balinese relationship with nature, and the power of ceremony, she enjoyed a deep reset that widened her path. Now living in the Mojave Desert near Joshua Tree National Park, she celebrates the peace and wisdom of the desert wind.
With over a decade of experience in the festival and Burning Man community, Leah supported the production of many transformative events including: Lightning In A Bottle, Lucidity, Bhakti Fest, Electric Daisy Carnival, and Coachella. She lives a life deeply full of natural arts, witchcraft, mysticism, meditation, cooking, and small batch crafts.

AROMATHERAPY
Robert Harris of Western Aromatherapy will be taking us through a workshop experience to create our own essential oil blends.
In his own words:
"As an aromatherapist I specialize in educating both healthcare professionals and the general public about the therapeutic potential of essential oils and aromatic plants. Through interactive workshops and hands-on experiences, I provide opportunities for individuals to explore and connect with the world of scents. My goal is to empower people with knowledge on how to incorporate essential oils into their daily lives and well-being, fostering a deeper appreciation for the natural remedies that plants offer. Whether you’re interested in crafting your own blends or learning how aromatherapy can complement traditional healthcare, I offer a range of experiences designed to inspire and educate."
