Mari Altar Ceremonial Yearlong

Ready for Time for You?

In these uncertain times, how do you gain stability? What do you need to get in touch with your inner guidance systems?

It is essential that we female folk, as the keepers of rhythm, tune back into the ancient source of wisdom and knowing.

Slow down, drop in, feel, listen, & pray.

Mari Altar Ceremonial Yearlong

September 2025 - August 2026

The Offering

We will gather as women on the path of growth and transformation for 4 days each season. Retreats include body & nature connection, ceremonial time with the elements, and time for integration, rest & rejuvenation.

We will take space for personal reflection & growth; to integrate, digest, nourish, and expand while being held and guided into ceremony.

Our ceremonial container is based in a Hebraic & Christian Lineage of The Mari Altar & The Kabbalistic Tree of Life. We will explore how to use our whole beings as vessels for prayer. We are given the Gift of Creation, the Gift of Heart, and the Gift of the Mind. As we align our Spirit with the Earth and these Gifts, incredible shifts happen in our lives.

Rachel Ruach Golden is bringing through ancient wisdom that our current times call for.  Her retreats have enough space for each person to engage the material at their deepest level so that they can connect with themselves, the natural world, their ancestry and the others in the circle.  I leave each retreat feeling refreshed, connected, and inspired.

Working with Rachel has helped me to fortify and tend my relationship with the earth and spirit in ways I have been needing and longing for. I feel more connected and in tune with myself and life through the Mari Alter Ceremonial Group and through Rachel's steady, gentle, wise, and attuned presence as a guide.
