Black Condor Welcomes You
We are excited to announce our 2nd Annual BIPOC Winter Retreat!
Last winter, we gathered in Mexico and experienced a phenomenal weekend of healing, transformation, and connection led by Adorable Earth Angel. Together, we worked with sacred plant medicine, drawing from South American traditions, including the powerful Shipibo lineage and its archetype of Kushon—the Strong Prayer.
This year, we are thrilled to invite you to our second annual BIPOC retreat, Hearth of Healing. Rooted in the sacred energy of winter, this transformative weekend is a space for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color to reconnect with their inner wisdom, community, and the rhythms of the natural world.
Led by Adorable Earth Angel, with support from Gabrielle Blue and Amber Julian, we will once again explore the transformative Shipibo technology of prayer. Through Kushon, we will embrace the practices of clearing, dressing in light, and aligning energies for healing and renewal.
Winter invites deep reflection, grounding, and nurturing transformation, and this retreat offers the perfect space to honor that sacred energy. With the guidance of the Grandmother medicine, we will hold a safe, inclusive environment for ancestral healing, self-discovery, and reconnection. Join us in this sacred prayer and let the winter's hearth nurture your journey of restoration and alignment.
