Feel your sacred wholeness as we embrace all of the parts of ourselves.
We welcome female-identified people of all colors and faiths who seek connection and growth.
The Spring Equinox Retreat… Take time out to journey into the temple of your own heart to learn more about self-love, self-care, and compassionate kindness for yourself and the circle of sisters with you! Uplevel all aspects of self-presencing, cultivating calm serenity to navigate the challenges ahead.
Summer Retreat … The Summer Goddess Retreat offers 4 workshops, each focused on an element, and also includes yoga classes, bonfire gatherings, and an opening and closing ceremony. Workshops are held by experienced facilitators weaving yoga, dance, meditation, breathwork, partner work, group sharing circles, journal writing, and song. Spaciousness for personal downtime is also integrated into our program.
The Fall Goddess Retreat… Center and restore before the holidays and move into a fuller you. Experience life enhancing femininity and supportive sisterhood as we begin to embrace all of the parts of ourselves. Bathed in acceptance we travel through seven group sessions pairing an archetypal goddess to each chakra. This effective curriculum has been developed and shared for seven years, offering a journey into intuition and wholeness as we come home to our bodies with more love.
Chakras and goddesses are powerful ways into the body, psyche, and inner divinity. They assist us in acknowledging and accepting our imbalances as we transform them into empowerment. These sessions are held by experienced facilitators weaving intuitive dance, yoga, meditation, breathwork, partner work, sound healing, group sharing circles,
journals, song, and self-care practices.
