Biophilia Experience – Spa Transformation Day with Alice Duvernell and Feather Redtail

Join us for a full day designed for optimal transformation. 

Morning session Includes the quintessential Osmosis experience; a cedar enzyme footbath, guided meditation, a Swedish massage and lunch!

In the afternoon, reconnect with nature’s healing gifts in an immersive experience led by Alice Duvernell and Feather Redtail. Through ceremonial ritual, sound healing and pure botanical waters, sourced from locally grown, organic plants, Alice and Feather will guide you on a journey into sensory healing. You will be introduced to the principles of alchemy in the natural world as well as in the soul and body, realizing that we are all reflections of these principles that live in and around us.

You will partake in the custom making of a fresh, highly mineralized botanical skin treatment mask and be introduced to the uses of these gentle yet potent medicinal waters and the magical plants they are made from. These pure distillates bring balance, composure, and a caress to the mind and heart, perfect for those sensitive to chemicals and strong scents. During this delightful experience in the magical Osmosis Creekside Ceremonial Circle, you will also receive a soothing sound bath, as well as a sacred cacao ceremony. Embrace the transformative power of Biophilia as you find a new pathway to unite with nature’s wisdom and your own body intelligence. Participants will take home a locally made botanic flower water as well as your customized facial mask.

Alice Encinas Duvernell is a visionary French ethno-botanist and the creator of Biophilia. Her passion for the natural world shines through her dedication as a teacher, formulator, and spiritual plant guide, empowering individuals to discover their own natural solutions and forge deep connections with their nutrition, art of living, and personal philosophy.
