25 years ago a group of extraordinary men and woman gathered for the first time with Lynn Andrews for four life-changing days of teachings, meditations and ceremonies at Joshua Tree Retreat Center in California. They had all hoped for this amazing opportunity to meet the author of the acclaimed “Medicine Woman Series” and experience the teachings of the Sisterhood of the Shields firsthand. Each knew from the moment they arrived at this gathering they found a group of Kindred Spirits…pilgrims on the path to the unknown…and so it began.
From the magic of this first spring gathering was born the exciting question of finding new ways to immerse more fully in these ancient teachings. Lynn responded… and within a few short years founded her Center for Sacred Arts and Training, a four-year Mystery School without walls. The annual Joshua Tree Retreat continued to be offered to anyone interested in Lynn’s work, but now had also become a part of the experiential intensive training for the Mystery School students, bringing another, deeper dimension of experience to this gathering and amplifying the energy for all present.
Today we invite all Kindred Spirits, first comers and everyone that ever shared in this spring gathering, to join us for this historical “Silver Anniversary Celebration”. Prepare to be lifted to new heights of consciousness and most importantly feel your heart and entire being expand with unbelievable Joy. See you soon!

It is a time of community, a time of commitment – commitment to yourself and to the gods and goddesses of your existence. It is a time of drumming and dancing, celebration, deep personal dreaming, and a time for the creation of sacred art and sacred ceremony. It is a time when we challenge ourselves to do more than we ever thought we could do, dare ourselves to take the risk of becoming the person we’ve always believed we can become.
And the reason that people keep coming back to this extraordinary gathering for all these years is that it really works! You enter the gathering through the Elk Pole Ceremony, dancing around our magnificent Elk Pole and tying your own ribbon to the Pole in a ceremony of joining and honor. As you do this, you empty yourself of the cares and woes of the everyday world so that you can be filled with something new and vibrant over the course of the next four days. You leave the gathering filled with so much more spirit and light, so much more energy, understanding and wisdom, than you ever thought possible when you arrived.
I invite you to join me, and I look forward to meeting you with great anticipation.
In love and spirit,

The Program…
Each year, Lynn Andrews combines her graduate students and current students to welcome the public to a uniquely designed four day program presenting the teachings of Sisterhood of the Shields. Joshua Tree Gathering is home to an extraordinary gathering of people from all over the world, women and men who have come together at this place of beauty for ceremony, ritual, meditation and healing.

Everyone has what he or she needs, the mirrors. Each of us has asked, before being born, for everything needed. The problem is, when we are born, we become caught in the dream. We are born into a kind of sleep. To become enlightened is to wake up from that dream.”
