Upcoming Retreats

restorative spaces for women to come home
​and rest into their beauty, power, creativity, love and choice
There’s a place inside a woman. 
A sacred place. An ordinary place.

A place where heaven touches earth. And holy melts in to human.
This is a place all women hold. 
And are carried by.

Yet it is a place so little of this world has upheld. 
Honored. Nourished. Or retained.
A place this world we have known together, has crushed.
Denied. Distorted. Distrusted.
As the wisdom and vitality of this place has grown smaller.
Gone inward.
Become invisible. And descended down.
It has become distilled and embedded. So deep inside.
Of earth. And of woman.
 
To restore and ignite this place.
To bring it here. On to this sacred planet we live upon.
In to this beautiful world we all share.
A woman must become a Gardener. Of a different kind.

She must tend her deep soul center.
And her relationship to CREATION.
To ease into it. Clear and cleanse it.
Safeguard and stand for it. Believe in it.
Soften and dissolve within it. As her roots break through.
To touch the sustainable nourishment that actually feeds her.
​So she can remember.
What she comes from.
And what keeps her alive.

​

This time is for you.
To deeply care for yourself.
Tenderly held in a circle of women.
Our love and connection to ourselves
​ripples out to touch the hearts of all people.

"I feel a subtle but profound shift since our time together . . . just a little more ease in general, a deepened reverence for the power of the Feminine, a softening to my own self and those around me. Thank you so much for seeing me and allowing me to see you. Thank you for your beautiful offering, facilitation, space holding, unconditional love, lightness of being AND DEPTH of being. I hoped for a deeper connection and trust in my feminine essence and the strength in that, as well as a strengthened connection with other women. And I walked away having received exactly that. I knew, but didn't know the depth with which I longed to be truly seen by other women.  I'm also surprised at how natural and beautiful the ceremonial aspects of the weekend felt. You hold such integrity and authenticity in your presentation of ceremony. I want to maintain a connection to that part of myself that deeply understands my connectedness to the whole world - humanity and all living beings on this planet.  I want to honor the sacredness of my feminine essense and of my body.  I want to walk in the world with integrity, an open heart and strength."

"I’ve taken a couple of days to just breathe in what I got be a part of this last weekend, and watch myself/feel myself change... it really feels monumental inside of me. I appreciate your words of “not giving away your gift, but to speak from it. Honor it.”  Like a lightbulb switched on, that just truly turned something on that I couldn’t understand, or had trouble with... I love sharing and giving my love, but would find myself over and over again just drained. Do I hide away and keep to myself, or give all of myself away? And I just wasn’t happy with either option. I love the floating candle, because I thought of myself holding this candle in the dark... and I wouldn’t just give it away and stand alone in the darkness, nor would I take my light and keep my loved ones stranded in their darkness. I hope to illuminate and shine it for all of us, to share this warmth, to come from it, and work with it. Your pictures, your presence, made me feel like “why not just float, just be... that’s an option too!” I’m just loving this, and processing in it, just simply soaking it all in! Thank you for your gift of words, thank you for your love... I truly felt seen and heard and cared for. And I got to give that too, and it all was just magical and lovely. And I’m so thankful that you ladies want to do THIS again!!!" ~ Jennifer, Mom, Wife, Soul Sister

"I am aware of feeling challenged to find the words to articulate the depth that our circle and my own receptivity landed within me. I am sensing a s l o w i n g  and re-prioritizing. I have more perspective on my own pain and struggle and messiness. I have a place inside me that feels reliable and unshakable. I have been walking closer and closer to this place but it feels more accessible now. It's such a different perspective to experience and claim the strength of my soft place. My smile feels easier and from a deeper place and I could hear and feel the resonance in my voice when I laughed this morning. My heart melted pretty quickly. I could feel the permission immediately and felt really safe going within and allowing myself to be touched by others. It surprises me that the deep, dark, grief places are SO good... that I have KNOWN all along that this is my path but it is surprising to have it validated and shared 'publicly'... with a group, with such confidence. I also did not realize that I could feel so confident and strong about something so tender and vulnerable. I discovered that I am wanting more of this beauty with other women. I hope for more connection with the earth, the soil, even if it is just touching her more. I intend to practice more quiet time, more space and permission to be quiet. I feel my soft power in your presence.  I trust you deeply.  I like that you go slowly.  I learned so much from you, when you referenced examples of how the feminine works... as you allowed your plans for our retreat to unfold. Please keep doing this."

"Last year's retreat was utterly transformational for me. It sparked a change from which I continue to benefit. I am full of joy! And excitement! And love! Really. It's phenomenal. The experience sparked a profound change in the way I see myself. My newfound - or rediscovered - love for myself has begun to trickle through my relationships; I feel strong and powerful bonds growing. It is wildly exciting." 
~ Susannah, May 2019 Retreat
