This retreat explores the glory and danger of being a woman - body, mind, and soul. As we move through the world, we are given so many conflicting messages about what it means to be a woman - we are powerful and vulnerable, desired and rejected, revered and reviled. Together in loving community, we will explore the risk and bliss of our own embodiment, embrace our power, cultivate our boundaries, celebrate our wild sexuality, and invite healing from the trauma that each of these areas may hold for us. This retreat is designed for a community of women. All female-identified people are welcome.
This retreat is an invitation to explore with us how to bring the joy of sexuality back to relationship.
