This summer workshop provides an opportunity for women to gather in sacred space together and to reflect on past seasons of our lives, from the remote to the recent. From the embrace of summertime abundance and warmth, we will sink deeply into a shared space of curiosity and openness, from which to honor our blessings and choose what to cultivate in our lives going forward, and determine what is best left behind. We will co-create a woman-centered community space where each participant is fully invited to share her truth, both the joyful and the challenging, while being held lovingly by skillful guides.

This retreat is designed for women at any stage of the life cycle who are ready to pause and take stock of their current trajectory, utilizing honest self inquiry and tapping into the shared wisdom of the group, to envision and embody the most authentic and courageous next stage in their life’s journey. We will utilize modalities including physical practices, relational practices and artistic practices during this retreat, and will take advantage of the powerful transformational medicine ketamine to assist in this inner and collective journey.

This retreat is appropriate for women who are looking for shifts, insights, connection to community, reframing of obstacles, and the experience of shedding default habits and rigid thought patterns. This retreat is NOT appropriate for anyone experiencing a mental health crisis or seeking treatment for major symptoms of depression, anxiety or trauma.
