Come home to the sacred feminine

Women’s Circle Retreat —
Held by land, fire, and sisterhood.

Dear Sister,

Something ancient stirs when women

gather with intention.

When we walk the land together.

Sit in ceremony. Sing. Dance.

When we remember we belong to something more. . . 

Experience a retreat of song,

prayer, and creativity

in community

There is a longing in women’s hearts — not for more striving, but for a deeper way of being held. This retreat is an immersion in bhakti, devotion: singing, prayer, and the simple joy of offering love back to life. Alongside these devotional practices, we will turn toward creative expression — through art, writing, movement, and shared projects — as a natural outpouring of the heart.

This retreat is about softening into presence, opening to devotion, and discovering how creativity flows when we stop managing ourselves and begin to trust.

This retreat is donation-based for facilitation

plus accommodations

Come as you are. Give what you’re able. All offerings support the shared field we create.

Suggested minimum for facilitation: $200
