Thank you for your interest in offering holistic service, herbal product(s), and/or handcrafted items at the Sacred Waters Retreat. Though the retreat’s emphasis is primarily ritual and educational, the Sacred Emporium adds a wonderful dimension to the event and provides participants with an excellent opportunity to obtain high quality herbal and sacred soul products. It’s always a favorite space at the retreat, as women tend to love to bring something home that reminds them of the experience shared.
