Earth Alchemy Retreat in the Black Forest

A Pre-Equinox Portal into Elemental Magic, Forest Wisdom & Inner Awakening

(Black Forest, Germany)

March 5th - 8th, 2026

with Hamaima and Manu Merlin

As the Spring Equinox approaches, that sacred moment when light and shadow come into perfect harmony, the land begins to shift.

In the Black Forest, the veil is already softening.

The Black Forest carries a naturally mystical energy: its dense, ancient trees create shadowed pathways where mist hangs between moss-covered stones and the land feels alive with presence

The Mystical Energy of the Black Forest

Quartz-rich hills, sacred springs, and old ceremonial sites give the region a strong, grounding earth energy, while centuries of folklore speak of forest spirits, wise women, and elemental beings move through its depths.

The silence is profound, the acoustics otherworldly, and everywhere there is a sense of threshold — a place where the veil softens and the seen and unseen meet, making it a powerful landscape for intuition, renewal, and equinox work.

A Threshold Before Rebirth

This is the threshold before rebirth, the time to attune yourself to what is awakening. Here, you are invited to prepare for an immersive retreat rooted in Earth magic, alchemical practices, and the subtle realms of sound and energy.

Join us so we can remember the old ways — a remembering of how to listen, how to feel the unseen currents of nature, and how to spark your inner fire so it can carry you into the new season with clarity, vitality, and purpose.

What Awaits You

🌿 Elemental Magic & Forest Communion

Enter the living spirit of the Black Forest.

Learn to feel the pulse of Earth energy, communicate with tree consciousness, and work with the elemental forces as ancient allies.

Rituals, nature attunements, and guided earth workings help you cross from the mundane into the mystical.

🌱 Herbal Alchemy & Plant Spirit Wisdom

Connect with the subtle intelligence of plants, sensing which herbs wish to guide your cleansing, rooting, or awakening.

🔥 Kundalini Yoga & Inner Fire Activation

Daily alchemical practices to stoke the inner flame, open your channels, and awaken the serpent energy that rises with the coming of spring.

🎤 Voice Activation & Sonic Magic

Your voice becomes a spell, a healing instrument, a bridge to the unseen.

Through mantra, toning, breath, and sound journeys, you shed old layers and discover the power of your true resonance.

🌸 Plant Healing Ceremonies

Sacred Spaces that help us reconnect with the intelligence, spirit, and medicine of the natural world. Through guided ritual, intention, and deep listening, participants work with plants not only as physical remedies but as teachers that reveal emotional, energetic, and ancestral pathways of healing.
