WILD EMBODIMENT

October 28 - 31 Red River Gorge

A women’s retreat for those seeking deeper connection, Earth wisdom and wild liberation

Reconnecting with our roots and intuition allows us to deeper explore the feminine power and magic that flows through us

This is a safe space for women to connect with each other and the Earth. We will be immersed in the woods for this phoneless retreat - cooking meals together, sharing stories, exploring the woods, and tapping into layers of the psych through a variety of workshops and rituals.

The workshops will cover topics including sensual embodiment, herbalism, shadow-work and ancestral connection. There will be free time for solitude, hiking, rest and play. There is space for 14 women in shared rooms/beds.

This retreat is a co-creation with each person offering some form of wisdom, guidance or short activity. This offering can be anything you feel inspired to share (a meditation, art activity, game, a joke, extra help in the kitchen, building a fire)

Samhain is a seasonal celebration that falls between the autumn equinox and winter solstice. It starts on Oct 31 and ends on Nov 1. Many cultures have different, but similar traditions during this time of the wheel of the year honoring death, darkness and shedding. We can tune into this part of the cycle for deeper knowledge, Earth connection and a new level of liberation. Our retreat will occur the weekend before this celebration offering us time to pause, reset and tune in. When we are in alignment with nature's cycles and rhythms we return to the self.
