journey into sacred expression

​

Set out on a creative and powerful journey through daily meditation, yoga, movement and self-exploratory writing as a channel to reveal insight from within. Participate in diverse healing ceremonies that awaken your feminine energies and stoke your soul connection. 

​

Breathe, stretch, relax, and align with your center while sharing in the experience with other women. This retreat is not about ‘writing’ as a subject or art form. In this retreat, we ourselves are the art form. Every woman has a voice in her own life that calls her to expand into and from herself  – we are gathering together to raise it up, embrace our wholeness and allow our self-expression. When we stop earning our worth, listen within, embrace our essence, validate our truths and desires, and share ourselves from inspired action, we are invited into a wondrous and connective adventure in life. 

​

Infused by the four directions and rising the feminine, we embark on a revealing week of re-igniting the voices of our hearts and empowering ourselves as the fluid storytellers of our lives, as well as living into a self beyond the story. 

who is called to this circle?

This retreat in an open invitation for any woman who is looking for an opportunity to connect, explore and express. The women who find this circle are seeking to pause and reconnect with their center and own voice more clearly and deeply. In the circle, women often receive the clarity (and self-validation) of their inner knowing so they can move from the heart more freely and with trust.

​

Maybe you are in the middle of a big change or you feel like you're ready for something to change. Maybe you are ending something or beginning something, or you feel like you're coming upon a crossroads in your life. Maybe you are simply drawn to writing or you love the journey of self-reflection. Maybe you have experienced loss, or shifts of circumstances, or you feel on the verge of something that is still undefined for you. Maybe you are just wanting a richly connective and immersed experience in a beautiful place with other women!

​

There is absolutely no one "right" reason to come to this retreat. But if this retreat is "right" for you, you’ll likely have a hunch. This is what women say... and that hunch makes for magical circles. When women join from their intuition, it's like we've begun the gathering ... before we've even begun. 

in this women's retreat, you will:

​​

• Gather with a powerful circle of women in rawness, vulnerability and expression.

• Ground in your body and intuition through meditation, yoga and movement.

• Show up in this here and now, present to whatever is real to you, as you are.

• Honor and be witnessed for your embodied experience as a woman.

• Immerse in a journey that is both individual and collective to you and to the circle and to women.

• Reveal your truths moment to moment by connecting to your own inner voice.

• Embrace yourself in all of your contradictions and wholeness.

• Loosen the stories you tell against allowing yourself and your expression, in the many ways we tell them.

• Reconnect with your essential self, your vivid energies, your heart-led and soul-seeded desires - all that conspires for your expression. 

• Call back your inner voice to hear what sways your soul.

• Reclaim your connection and belonging to the greater mystery and beauty all around us. 

• Remember the magic that unfolds when women circle together with love and compassion at our core. ​
