In my annual Element Retreat, I hold the intention to inspire you to remember that You Are Nature. We do this by intimately connecting with a different element each day. On earth day, we typically coordinate a surprise day trip into nature where we can gather together in ceremony under the trees.

Last year, our amazing guide took us to a bright blue-green lake with incredible and nourishing clay at the bottom. Naturally, everyone in the group started creating full body clay masks for themselves and letting it dry in the sun.

It was a beautiful reminder of the ways earth can hold the container for celebration, abundance, and connection. When we feel rooted enough into who we are and grounded into the truth that We Are Nature, we are expanded in our ability to touch the hearts of others and receive more loving connection for ourselves.

I’ve crafted this Ritual Bath to help you connect to the earth element within you.

RITUAL

• Place all the ingredients in the bath at a temperature of your choosing.

  • Light some candles and turn off any overhead or artificial lights.

  • Turn off all music/ambient noise, and let yourself get very quiet.

  • Create a smoke blessing using pine needles by putting it in a nonflammable tray of some kind and igniting it. Waft the smoke around your body using a feather you have found.

  • Wave the smoking pine over your bath and ask the water to help you come into the moment. Ask the water to help you to come home to yourself.

  • Step into the bath and dunk your head underwater.

  • Mix the French green clay with a little bit of water and apply it as a face mask.

  • Place the amethyst crystals on your hip bones.

  • Envision the crystals creating a purple line of energy moving down from your bones into the Earth below you, like roots.

• Ask the Earth element to ground you and remind you of the Earth your body is made of.

• Notice as your energy begins to shift into a place of rootedness, connectedness, and belonging.

• Soak in the medicine you’ve created.
