We are excited to have you join us in one of our powerful Retreat circles!

 

Retreats will be scheduled remotely and in-person in the spring and again early fall and dates will be shared in the private BWS Facebook group which you will be added to once you register.

 

If there is not a retreat near you, you can attend for free when you organize a retreat in your area!
Email birthwithspirit@gmail.com for more information.
