Mother Hearth Retreat
Return to mother earth
We warmly invite you to…
Return to the Hearth Retreat is a deeply immersive journey into the heart of Mother Nature—a weekend of ceremony, connection and remembering. Create your own sacred drum and awaken its voice through the spirit of the Deer. Open your heart through two traditional Mayan Cacao Ceremonies, woven with prayer, sound and intention. Journey with the spirit animals of the Deer, Fox, Jaguar and Red Kite, each carrying the wisdom of the four elements. Be held in a beautiful Flower & Herb Bath Ceremony and Water Blessing, surrender into conscious breath and sound journeys, and gather around the sacred fire for a powerful group drumming circle.
Held in the embrace of mother nature, this retreat brings together the rich ceremonial traditions and wisdom of Ruben, a Mayan-Aztec sound therapist, and Hollie Prema, whose practices are rooted in shamanic, Pagan and Wiccan traditions. Together, they weave their different cultural pathways into a beautiful tapestry co creating an invitation of deep transformation and remembering of our connection to Mother Nature.
Meet Hollie Prema
Hollie Prema is a herbalist, Traditional Tantra Yoga Therapist, shadow work facilitator and shamanic practitioner rooted in the Pagan Wiccan tradition. Her work is guided by a deep and enduring relationship with Mother Earth, the natural world and the sacred interconnectedness of all life.
At the heart of Hollie’s offering is ceremonial prayer — a space to slow down, listen deeply and reconnect with the wisdom of nature, spirit and the self. She weaves together ancient practices, ritual and embodied movement to support others on their own spiritual paths, creating spaces for reflection, healing, connection and transformation.
Hollie has been blessed with the privilege of travelling and spending time with traditional tantric teachers, Buddhist monks and shamans of the Amazon. Along her journey, she has also received prayers and teachings from Indigenous people and communities across the world. With deep respect and reverence, she carries these experiences into her own practice, allowing them to inform the ceremonial spaces she creates.
Through Native American and Mayan flute, drum, song, chant, Cacao, meditation, ritual and shamanic movement, Hollie creates immersive experiences that invite participants to reconnect with the rhythms of the Earth and the wisdom held within their own bodies and hearts.
Her work is not about following a single path, but about remembering our connection to something greater. Hollie sees all of life as one family, one tribe, one consciousness — and believes that nature can be a profound teacher and guide when we take the time to listen.
Her retreats offer an invitation to step away from the noise of everyday life, return to the natural world and explore the deeper layers of who we are. Through ceremony, movement, connection and prayer, Hollie holds a space where participants can meet themselves with greater compassion, presence and openness.
“May all prayers be effective.”
Meet Ruben Origin
This 6-month guided immersion is designed to gently unravel the layers of trauma, conditioning, and limiting beliefs that keep you from living fully in your truth.
Through a unique blend of trauma-informed practices, shadow work, somatic healing, and one-to-one guidance, you’ll be supported every step of the way on your journey home to yourself.
CACAO CEREMONY
Open your heart to the medicine of cacao
Come gather with us around the sacred fire for a heart-opening cacao ceremony—a time to slow down, connect, celebrate life and remember the deep bond we share with one another and with Mother Nature.
With the beautiful medicine of cacao, we will gently open the doorway to the heart, creating a sacred space where we can soften, breathe and connect with ourselves and each other.
Around the altar of the fire, we will enter a prayer circle, offering our gratitude and intentions to our ancestors, to Mother Earth, to humanity and to all living beings.
Through song, dance, prayer, meditation and celebration, we will allow our hearts and bodies to move freely, creating a collective energy of love, gratitude and joy.
As we gather together, our individual hearts become one heartbeat. We will offer this energy outward, sending our prayers, love and intentions into the world—to those who need them, to the Earth we call home, and to future generations.
The fire transforms.
The cacao opens.
The drum awakens.
The heart remembers.
Come sit beside the fire.
Come open your heart.
Come celebrate the gift of being alive.
Come add your light to the circle.
Together, we honour where we have come from, where we are now, and all that is yet to come.
CONSCIOUS BREATH SOUND JOURNEY
Heal & release through conscious breath
Our breath is one of the most intimate connections we have with life.
Every moment, we breathe in the world around us and breathe something back into it.
Through a guided breath and sound journey, you will be invited to explore the relationship between breath, body, vibration and awareness.
Using conscious breathing, sound and guided practices, we create space to soften the body and quieten the busy mind.
Sound surrounds you. The breath moves through you. The body begins to release.
And you are invited to simply experience yourself rather than analyse yourself.
A journey inward. A journey through breath. A journey back into the body.
DRUM BIRTH CEREMONY
Embody the heart beat of the deer
You are invited to journey into the gentle medicine of the Deer Spirit—to slow down, listen deeply, soften, and remember the sacred connection between all living things.
During this special retreat, you will be guided through a sacred drum-birthing ceremony, where you will lovingly create your own deer-skin drum.
The drum is more than an instrument. The drum is a living reminder of the heartbeat of the Deer Spirit.
As you birth your drum, you will be invited to place your prayers and intentions into its creation. With every touch, every knot, every beat, you will weave your own energy into the drum.
And when the drum is played, its heartbeat carries your prayers outward.
The heartbeat of the Deer ripples through the circle, through the Earth, and into the hearts of those who listen.
The spirit of the red kite connecting to the element of air
WATER BLESSING
Herb Flower Bath Ceremony
Immerse yourself in the ancient beauty of a Flower & Herb Bath Ceremony and Water Blessing—a sacred ritual inspired by traditions carried through generations and across many cultures, where flowers, herbs allies, water, intention, and prayer have long been used to cleanse, restore, and bless the body and spirit.

Through the healing presence of water and the plant allies, you are invited to slow down, receive, release, and return to yourself feeling refreshed, grounded, open, and renewed.
Your bath is lovingly prepared with an intentional blend of flowers and herbs, each chosen for the qualities and symbolism they have carried through generations of traditional herbal and earth-based practices.
