Searching for a Vision?

Mountain Light will host a series of one-day vision quests this year for one to two people at a time. The retreats include a deep meditation and spiritual shield making led by Louise M. Mitchell (Laughing Waters) a local nature spiritualist and gifted intuitive.

In meditation a shield maker experiences their personal connection to power (Spirit) and envisions their path and purpose. The process has been called “awesome,” “unbelievable,” “elevating,” and often brings elation to participants.

At Mountain Light, these retreats will be a serene experience in the cozy Cottage. Participants receive a vision, and with Louise’s assistance, interpret the vision and use crafting and materials from nature to create a unique twelve-inch shield imbued with spiritual energy and inspiration for its owner to use daily.

A shield is a circle, reflecting the spirit of its owner, like a mirror into the soul, reminding its owner of who they really are.

Louise has led shield making retreats for hundreds of women, men, and children since the 1990s. She is dedicated to a life of spiritual growth, deepening her connection to nature and spirit, and sharing the light, and recently teamed with Debbie Scott to lead the first Forest Bathing Retreat at Mountain Light. Louise is a certified Reiki and Crystal healer, certified Sylvotherapy (Forest Bathing) Practitioner, has published six books on spirituality (fiction and non-fiction), and her articles have appear in newspapers and magazines.

The May 20 and July 29 Shield Retreats are full. Fall Shield Retreat dates are September 30, October 28.

Cost: $100, including materials and a snack.
