"I can't begin to express what this experience meant for me. It was one of the most heartfelt, eye-opening, soul-soothing rewarding experiences I've ever had." 
(Maria)

"The power of this circle still gives me tingles. It is the power of togetherness, of shared adversity and joy. Of reaching deep and sharing our own heart song. Of looking in each woman's face and knowing we belong."
(Maggie)

"While this is a retreat from the world, it is not a retreat from self. It is a 'reveal'."
(Michelann)

Women's Retreat

"I spoke truths that I'd never dared. I danced, stomped, howled at the moon, cried, felt alive in ways I didn't know were possible and profoundly connected to myself and other beautiful women."
(Ellen) 

meditation circle

"This retreat will make you laugh, cry, dig, unearth, grow in more ways than you can possibly imagine. You will see first-hand the magic you have within."
(Marie)

"I've learned that we are all deep oceans of intricate stories. I learned to connect with myself, to hear my inner voice - to trust it, to honor it - and to share it."

(Holly)

women's circle

"I left the retreat with a feeling of pure wonder... I feel empowered, uplifted, revived, safe, connected, inspired and really, really grateful."

(Tori)

(Chante)

Created for all women who want to reveal their own truths, connect to their intuition, reclaim their soul voice, feel empowered in their unique self-expression (whatever form it takes), and be inspired as the courageous storyteller of their own lives...
