Feminine Embodiment
Retreat
October 3-6, 2025
To the deep-hearted woman… What if I told you that your longing for love is love…
That the gateway to your most empowered, alive, and liberated self is preciously hidden within the ecstatic ache of your longing… and that the portal to the union you crave lies in your opening to the Love that is already here? 'It is so possible to unfurl to the experience of Love on the most primordial level: Love beyond wounds. Love beyond identity. Love beyond story.
Feminine Embodiment
Unfurling into the Feminine Retreat is an opportunity to touch the parts of our feminine expression and energy that have become frozen and inaccessible to us for any number of reasons… perhaps shame, threat, abuse, or even just being in an environment that did not allow it.
Working with spiritual principles of universal feminine and masculine energies, we will explore polarity, sensuality, vulnerability, safety, boundaries and artful expression - through movement, dance, guided meditations, partner work, ritual, sacred theatre, breath work, discussion and sharing.
We will explore how to offer our deepest Love through the artistry of our erotic bodies—as a depth-evoking gift to our beloved, to the world, and to the divine.
What to expect:
Arrive between 2 and 5pm on Friday October 3rd, settle into your accommodations, and enjoy the land.
Dinner will be served on Friday, followed by our first evening session.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be provided Saturday and Sunday, and breakfast on Monday before departure.
We will work together as a group, with some break out times provided for resting, reflecting and journaling.
Each session is a module, opening with a short discussion by the facilitator that will follow with chances to share and ask questions. From the discussion we will move into our active practice.
Our active practices will include guided visualization and movement practices, both alone and with a partner. Music is curated for our movement practices.
Our grief and anger ceremony will be created clearly and held very safely, with lots of support and ways to participate and/or play a supportive role. The facilitator is trained in grief and ritual work.

COLLECTIVE FEMININE GRIEF
As women, part of what we walk with in life is a grief directly related to our being female. At times it can be heavy, as our own experiences combine with the collective feminine experiences in the world and in our ancestry. In addition, living in a grief illiterate western society, there are often no places to express our grief or anger — and we often develop dissociative coping strategies to soldier forward out of necessity while large parts of our experiences remain unacknowledged.
Inevitably, what we don’t express become another stuck part of our being. As part of this retreat, in a safe container, we will create a collective ritual to acknowledge and express our grief and anger, and to melt into our hearts again. You leave with new skills in this area to help you to keep connected to your deepest truths, desires and most authentic selves.
This retreat is…
It is an immersive, trauma-informed, experiential training in beginning a deep feminine embodiment practice to take back to your life.
All your meals are provided in a comfortable home and beautiful land, as you explore the depths of your feminine essence with the guidance and support of 2 trained facilitators and 9 other women in a safe container.
On the land we will dance, howl, roar, laugh, cry and commune with our primal feminine natures.
This retreat is not…
It is not a sexual retreat. Although we’ll talk about sex, there will be no exercises to engage in sexual activity with other participants, or self-pleasure group exercises.
It is not therapy. It may be therapeutic, however the retreat is not intended for trauma processing. Though most of us have a background that includes sexual trauma, if you are in the grips of acute sexual trauma, this would not be the right container for you.
It is not a psychedelic medicine retreat. The medicine of this retreat comes from the teachings, the magic of the container and the sacred practices of awakening your Divine Feminine essence within you. There will be no alcohol or substances allowed during the retreat.

FAQ
-
No! Although it is readily applied to the art of being in a romantic relationship, it is equally as potent of a journey and practice for women who are not in partnership and want to deepen and awaken their feminine energy.
-
Although the facilitator is a trauma therapist and is qualified and experienced in working with trauma, the workshop is not intended for the purpose of trauma reprocessing. Most of us have a significant trauma in our histories. However, if you are currently in the grips of acute trauma symptoms, this would not be the right container for you.
-
No. Your sexual orientation does not matter. However, it is a dive into the feminine universal principle of polarity, and specifically the embodiment of it.
-
No, in fact, its the opposite! During this retreat we are diving into the inner layers where we will learn to harness our deep and innate energetic radiance, as opposed to “performing femininity”, or focusing on surface radiance.
-
It is intimate and vulnerable - that is very much the point. You will find that within the group container, the safety of the space is maintained so that you will find yourself able to work with your edges. However, there will never be a time where you have to do or participate in anything that you don’t wish to. You can sit out of any exercise if it feels too much at that moment.
-
