EARTH SPIRIT
Experiential stay: August 28-30, 2026
Earth Spirit is a brand-new group retreat, a two-night experiential stay with immersive teachings. A profound experience that invites you to delve into the heart of nature and connect with Mother Earth. A guided adventure into the living world, in a small group of no more than 12 people.
For a first-time stay at Hébergement aux Cinq Sens, this trip will offer the opportunity to benefit from Benoit's experience in a deeper and more personal way. His wisdom has been gathered over several decades, not only through his scientific background as a biologist but also through an intimate knowledge of nature and ancestral wisdom.
Mother Earth, whom the ancestors of the lands we inhabit once knew intimately, has become largely unknown. With sensitivity, respect and presence, Benoit offers to guide you along a path toward encountering her.
A stay to be experienced as a truly transformative journey, not as a course to be followed where one learns a procedure or technique. This is, in fact, both the most effective and the oldest way to learn and integrate—to live the experience.
If you feel the call to explore new paths, to connect more deeply with the nature from which we come, this retreat is for you. ⁓ Welcome
A word about the title: why Earth Spirit?
First, we must understand the use of the word “Spirit,” which here resides in the essence of the ancestral wisdom of Indigenous peoples and not in a religious sense. To designate the Earth or the Sky as Spirit is to recognize that it is a being in its own right, an intelligent and conscious force.
The use of the English term “Earth Spirit” is more accurate because it refers to the Earth-Spirit concept, not the Spirit of the Earth, which could imply that the Earth possesses a Spirit. This is why English is used primarily here – Earth Spirit.
