Inner Alchemy Private Retreats and Ceremony

Be nourished by beauty, peace and ceremony

in this idyllic setting.

Why Ceremony?

Because...Life!

  When the complexity and seeming madness of the world has us ON OUR KNEES,  invoking ceremony is a powerful and transformative choice.

Life is full of endings and beginnings, and big waves crash through.  You may have experienced death of a loved one, divorce or major relationship change, a challenging medical diagnosis, the loss of a job or other huge life transition.  When we sink into the loving arms of the ceremonial container, we can harvest the lessons of the experience, connect with the spirits that support us, and find the way to surf those crashing waves.

In addition to the endings, there are also magical beginnings! Baby blessings and baptism, weddings, celebrations of new jobs- the beginnings deserve ceremony as well.

As an ordained interfaith minister, I can support whatever religious or spiritual context you prefer.  My own practice is of nature-based spirituality which can harmonize with any perspective.    If ceremony is not a regular part of your life, I encourage you to explore.

After my husband died, I was overcome with a yearning to wash his body and regret that I had not had the opportunity. Becca made clear that this was still possible in the imaginal realm, in ritual space. She invited me into a deep process where I was able to experience this. I washed and thanked every part of him, wrapped him in a sail and sent him off in a boat. The process shifted something profound for me. It reminded me that when something is terribly wrong, you can make it right through ritual. My gratitude for this experience, for this knowledge is boundless.

Your personal retreat will be a rich journey~

Join Us for a Day or 24-Hour Immersion

Choose between a day-long experience or a full 24-hour immersion. For those opting for the full journey, enjoy a restful stay in "The Nest"—a private, spacious room with a balcony offering gorgeous views of the homestead.

Your journey begins with a meditative journey to determine the direction your personalized ceremony. Throughout the experience, we will alternate between shared moments and solo time for personal reflection and integration. You’ll have the opportunity to reconnect with nature—offering moments of prayer, reflection, and peace for your body, mind, and spirit.

Our sacred ceremonial space is nestled on my cherished homestead, adjacent to community-held land featuring a sacred spring and standing stones.

Take time to reconnect with nature—offering moments of prayer, reflection, and peace for your body, mind, and spirit.

The elements that guide your Personal Retreat and Ceremony

  • Ceremony

    This is not religion, or dogma or rules. Nature-based ceremony and connection to land and spirit comes in multitudes of form. Our ceremony is designed for YOU and your needs. Ceremony is a powerful healing force and source of nourishment and connection.

  • Wholeness

    Celebrate the beauty of Both/And as we welcome ALL aspects of ourselves, gifts and shadow, and every spectrum of expression. This celebration of wholeness is key medicine for our times, as the distortion and harm of polarization takes root in our cultures and within ourselves.

  • Healing

    Wholeness and healing go hand in hand. As we dive to the root of our patterns, and flush to the surface what needs our love and attention, we reclaim lost energy, and with each spiral of healing our wholeness grows. Receive individual healing work and intuitive guidance from Becca.

This is the Homestead that Holds Us

This retreat takes place on the land of the Inner Alchemy homestead, our healing sanctuary in the foothills of Mt. Toby in the Pioneer Valley, Massachusetts, a rural paradise of peace and beauty.

Delighted to host and guide the weekend, Becca is a priestess in loving dedication to the maturation & evolution of our human family to its full sovereignty, that we may live in integrity and harmony with the Earth, personally and globally.


A permaculture homestead

With a well-loved organic garden, flock of chickens and bee hives, fruit trees, sheep and cows, composting toilet and off-grid experiences, our home is your home. Trails and a stream wind through the woods that abut this homestead, and we are nested within a robust and vibrant neighborhood community and region.

Personal ceremonial and beauty elements~

A sacred fire laid just for you!

Fire Priest Dale Rawlinson will lay a fire of sacred geometry for our ceremony together. These fires are laid with prayer and intention and are a powerful centerpiece for our work together.

Beauty is essential

Every ceremony is held in the loving arms of Beauty, created with flowers grown in my garden, tended with love.
