2026 RETREATS AT RAVEN CREST
Why People Love Our Retreats
Jessia P for PLANT SPIRITS IN THE GARDENThe land, the plants, the insects, the birds, the people, the food, the accommodations, the wisdom, the music, the magic, was such a joy, and super inspiring.
Petrina P for OUR GREEN RELATIONSIt was a magical and memorable weekend, truly soul healing. We were lucky with the dry and sunny wether and were able to be outdoors all the time. Being immersed in a beautiful lush nature and so many medicinal plants, bird songs and great people left me uplifted and inspired. I learned tons from Susanna and Sam who shared not only their knowledge but also themselves as we sat together during the meals and the evening fire so selflessly. All the structures and accommodations were esthetically gorgeous and very comfortable. I loved that for all the designs, inside and outside, only natural materials were used. Thank you for creating this incredible experience!
Jessica P for ROOTS, SONG, PRAYER & BREATHIt all weaved together so beautifully, leaving us feeling connected, nourished, and with a whole host of new tools to keep us well all winter long!
Olga Y for ROOTS, SONG, PRAYER & BREATHI fell in love with this place from the first time! The atmosphere, energy, organization, people, knowledge are all at the highest level!
Matthew J for OUR GREEN RELATIONSEverything was so well structured and thought out!! What a beautiful place to share a weekend with the plants and good people. Can't wait to visit again.
Leigh Dixon for WILD YOGAI just returned from Wild Yoga & Dreams with Rebecca Wildbear and it was beyond anything I could have anticipated. My mind was cleared, my body was reconnected to nature and it has helped uncover a version of me that I didn’t know existed. I walk freely into my new life with yoga grounding me and the trees and my dreams providing a new light to help guide me through this journey. Thank you Rebecca!!!
Tim S. for VOCAL TRANSFORMATIONIt was a magical, soul nourishing and lighthearted experience especially while learning, exploring and healing some of the most vulnerable parts of myself. To this day, I am using the exercises I learned and enjoying a more intimate and confident experience with my voice and those I share it with. This retreat was most definitely a mile marker in my life experience. I would recommend it to anyone who yearns to transform and step out into the world a more empowered person!


MEET SUSANNA RAEVEN
Susanna Raeven is the founder of Raven Crest Botanicals, a living sanctuary devoted to the medicine of plants, place, and connection.
She is a community herbalist, ritualist, ceremonialist, student of Andean nature mysticism, and musician whose work bridges earth wisdom with embodied initiation. For over two decades, she has walked the green path with devotion.
Her journey deepened twenty years ago in the Amazon, where the living intelligence of medicinal plants opened a doorway she has never stepped back from. Since then, her life has been rooted in listening to the land, to the plants, and to the subtle language of body and soul.
At Raven Crest, Susanna tends more than gardens. She cultivates right relationship with the Earth, with soil, the seasons, and with spirit. The plants that grow here are not crops. They are allies, teachers and kin.
Through herbal preparations, ceremony, song, and guided healing work, she invites others into direct connection with the medicine that surrounds and lives within them.
