ABOUT FOREST CIRCLES


The dream of Forest Circles was first conceived in a vision Regina experienced in 2000. She was told to search for a sacred piece of land that was waiting for her, waiting to be rediscovered. Having experienced numerous solo pilgrimages, Regina used her "heart compass" and the assistance of spiritual guidance to find the land. In 2003 she found it. From the moment that her foot touched the earth, she knew, that "this was it."

The 47 blessed acres on which Forest Circles is located continues to provide visitors with uniquely personal mystical experiences. Overnight solo retreats in the forest are popular.


This land welcomes and heals you! Come for a gathering, a retreat or a walk. All are invited to experience this parcel of Earth that is eager to communicate and teach you how to find you way back to your heart!

"Locate the place where you can hear the Divine speaking to YOU!
Learn how to listen to and navigate, using your 'heart compass.'
Discover what you need to BE the great spirit that you are."
