6-DAY RETREAT | Oct 29 - Nov 3, 2026

Beauty of The Ancestors

A 6-day retreat over the Samhain portal or what we in modern times call All Hallows' Eve & All Souls' Day & All Saints' Day.

Together, we will enter into powerful practices as we welcome the wisdom of those who came before us, as well as let go of any ancestral burdens. To deepen your healing path with the master plant sacrament in a traditional sacred ceremonial container.

"Thank you so much to you, Athena & Jason for allowing your beings to be the light & the sacred facilitators for this work, it’s so potent and the plant wisdom is a blessing to be introduced too, through you both I am eternally in gratitude for this space of expansion for us all."

The Location

We will gather at a spacious ranch estate in Heber City, tucked away in Utah’s powerful mountain valley. The home has 8 bedrooms, multiple kitchens, wraparound decks, and communal gathering areas, offering the space for meaningful connection with others, while providing enough space for quiet time in solitude -- for whatever your integration will need.

This property backs onto a buffalo ranch, and is also 15 minutes away from a natural hot spring that participants can visit on integration days if they choose.
A range of accommodation options are available—private, semi-private, and shared rooms at different price points to suit your needs. Ceremony will take place in a large living room space within the home, and we will be welcoming up to 15 participants. 

We’ve held a very coherent and powerful retreat in this area, and have consistently felt the strong presence of ancestral support in Utah, which allows us to go quite deep. We're super excited to come back to this land! It’s a blessing to return here with our Utah community, and we warmly welcome those who are new to our circle.

Your Facilitators

ATHENA NAIA | MEDICINE WOMAN

Athena currently serves her community as a full time medicine woman. She brings 19 years of study and practice in the shamanic arts, energy work, and plant medicine to the table. She trained extensively with indigenous Shipibo teachers in the amazon jungle. 

One of her primary focuses and specialties today is the beautiful tradition of plant dieta, alongside what is similar to internal family systems. She is a huge believer in miracles and the power of the human spirit. 

Athena also channels a cosmic grandmother in her ceremonies. Her ceremonies are safe, loving, unique in their authenticity, and infused with many lineages of divine support.

JASON DORNBUSH | SHAMANIC HERBALIST

Jason, an energy healer and shamanic herbalist, embodies the spirit of plants with his rooted and lifelong connection to the plant world. Since 2010, he's worked extensively with plant medicine, cultivating and preparing it in Hawaii on his family’s property.


Specializing in tailor-made shamanic medicines, he addresses emotional, physical, and spiritual needs, aiming to deepen individuals' connection to the Earth. 


Known for his incredible humor, heyoka spirit, and nurturing presence in ceremony, Jason strengthens the container, by holding the masculine while allowing the feminine to lead. A gifted healer, and devotee to plant wisdom.
