Sequoias

Ancient Trees. Sacred Medicine. A Homecoming to the Soul.

For over 2,000 years, the Sequoias have stood as Earth’s great sentinels—elders rooted in deep time, whispering songs of resilience, renewal, and belonging. This is a retreat guided by the great trees themselves—an invitation into stillness, ceremony, and communion with the living wisdom of the forest.

Sequoias is a private, immersive three night, four day retreat for those who are ready to root deeply—into the Earth, into the body, into the magical deep wisdom that lives in the medicine of these elder beings.


This is a sanctuary for inner realignment and soul remembrance.


A space where sacred plant medicine, ancient trees, and intentional ceremony come together to recalibrate your inner compass.

This retreat is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect—not just to the Earth, but to your own inner wilderness.

Through deep listening, song, and reverent presence, you’ll attune to their field.
You’ll remember how to hear the trees—and begin to download the codes they carry: of strength, slowness, resilience, and rooted clarity.

You come home to your body, to the Earth, to the deeper intelligence within and around you—and from that place, everything changes.

 

This retreat is for those who feel the quiet tug of the forest in their bones.
 

For those who long to sit at the roots of ancient trees and remember the wisdom they carry.
 

For earth-loving souls ready to reconnect with their own inner wilderness—and walk forward with deeper clarity, presence, and purpose.

​Just as the forests heal when left to their wild intelligence, so do we. When we surrender to the wisdom of the medicine, the breath, and the trees, we remember: the beauty we see in the world is a reflection of the beauty within us.

HOLLY ERIN COPELAND

Now, Holly brings her deep love for the natural world into a new realm—helping others restore the inner landscapes of their hearts and minds. Through sacred ceremony, energy healing, and frequency-based tools, she supports individuals to come home to their own true nature.
 

Her approach blends the precision of science with the wisdom of the Earth, weaving together breathwork, sound healing, and somatic awareness to guide people into coherence with life’s natural rhythms.

By rewilding our inner worlds—softening the grip of conditioning and attuning to the wisdom within—we can reclaim a deeper sense of belonging, purpose, and joy.
 

Her work is both grounded and luminous, offering a powerful container for those ready to reconnect to their soul’s truth and remember their place in the greater web of life.
