Floral & Fauna Head Wreath Workshop with Natalie Lauzon
Create a handcrafted flora and fauna-inspired crown/wreath that symbolizes your evolving spiritual journey. Crowns of all sorts have adorned the heads of the most ultimate goddesses throughout time and across cultures. In essence, flower crowns, across various traditions and beliefs, are a way to express reverence for nature, celebrate new beginnings, honor the divine feminine, and connect to a deeper sense of self and the spiritual world. They are worn during women-focused rituals, symbolizing female strength, spirituality, and connection to the divine feminine.
The workshop begins with a brief meditation to help participants connect with the essence of flora and fauna and inspire the group to bring out their inner Goddess of nature. Then, with all materials and decorations provided, Natalie will guide guests through creating the base of the crown, and offer time and instruction for customization.
These everlasting floral crowns will be incorporated into the wellness retreat's final experience, as you are encouraged to wear them to the sunrise fire ceremony on your final day.
Furthermore, your creation can be added to to your home after the retreat, or simply worn when the Goddess within you desires. These floral crowns will be dedicated to your personal spiritual growth and act as a reminder that we all have a Goddess within us.
