The Location
GALACTIC FARMS
A Living Temple of Earth Medicine
At Galactic Farms, you step into a sacred rhythm — one that flows through garden beds, river bends, and the gentle hum of bees weaving gold into the air. You will move through this land as if entering a temple — one shaped not by walls, but by soil, sun, and soul.
This is the home of this August’s Alchemy of Love, and the land itself is your guide. Rooted beside the main fork of the Eel River and cradled at the gateway to Humboldt Redwoods State Park, Galactic Farms is a living embodiment of intentional, divine feminine and masculine stewardship. Every inch of this land has been cultivated with love, ceremony, and deep respect for the unseen forces that support life.
You’ll have space to listen, to learn from the land, and to remember the medicine you carry within your own body.
the river
Listen to the call of the river. She flows just beyond the edges of the farm — the main fork of the Eel — a sacred waterway that reflects and cleanses. You might sit on her banks in quiet reflection, or place your hands in her current and feel the movement of time, of grief, of love. The river teaches you to release, to flow, to return.
the cannabis garden
You will move through the cannabis garden — 3,000 square feet of vibrant, prayer-grown medicine. Here, cannabis is more than a plant. She is an ally, a teacher, a sacred being tended with ceremony and guided by intuition. You’ll witness how this relationship with the plant world — rooted in reciprocity — invites deep healing and reconnection.
the apiary
Next, the air will change as you approach the apiary. The soft buzz of bees fills the space with a vibrational song of creation. These bees are family. They are teachers of devotion and balance. You’ll feel how their presence supports the entire ecosystem — and your own sense of interconnectedness — reminding you that healing is not just personal, it’s collective.
the herbal gardens
In the herbal gardens, you’ll brush against calendula, lavender, tulsi, and other medicine beings whispering their ancient wisdom. We will explore these plants infused with prayer, elemental guidance, and ancestral knowing.
You’ll be held by plants and pollinators, by the soil and the sky, by intention and intuition. You will feel what it means to be part in natural self-renewal.
