We want to hold space for women to gather and share in a healing plant medicine experience. In this time of fear and separation, we need each other. We need need community. We need our sisters and the medicine of nature.
We believe in the power of gathering with other women and we believe in the healing power of Mother Earth. Goddesses, witches, portals, channels, womben, lovers and mothers of this earth: Join us for a deep and transformational experience!
Tentative Schedule:
Friday - 4pm yoga practice followed by a community based dinner (we are going to cook together the first night!- all other meals will be cooked and provided for you) and a sister gathering in the evening.
Saturday- 7am yoga, breakfast, a brief talk on the medicine, and then we will journey together. We will have optional activities while we journey, but mostly we will hold space for whatever comes up for you and honor wherever the experience takes you. Our journey will last through the afternoon. The evening will be grounding and coming back from your experience. We will have a warm nourishing dinner and circle time to share our experiences.
Sunday- 7am yoga, breakfast, journal and integrate, and done by noon!
There’s options for a single room or shared room/bunk beds. We want to keep the retreat small and all women.
$1500 includes everything, but transportation to the air b&b.
