“My experience of the retreat was powerful, meaningful and really freeing!!! Everything about it was positive–your holding, your guidelines, the balance of sharing and spaciousness, the space, the people. I feel lighter and more hopeful. I loved how I was in a safe, expansive community space where I could dive deeply into my emotions and feel held/seen and I could also wander and reflect in nature and with my art supplies. The spaciousness really allowed a spontaneity that was deeply healing, insightful, and made my heart smile.”
“Being in silent presence with such strong and supportive energy was so powerful and rejuvenating! I felt like I was in a safe and protected womb. Your ability to offer such a noble and intentional space for healing, and your reminder that we can be “a work in progress” was refreshing and necessary!“
“This work speaks directly to a woman’s spirit. One of the most precious and powerful experiences of my life!”

FREE VIRTUAL GATHERINGS with special guest Rosalva de las Flores
Throughout the ages and across cultures, in dark times and in light, people have gathered around fires for song, dance, and prayer. We are in a new world now, but what nourishes and fortifies the human spirit hasn’t changed. Whoever you are, wherever you come from, if you come with heart and respect for others, you are welcome here.
If you take care of other people professionally or in your personal life, and you’re craving space away from the noise to hear your own voice again, this virtual women’s circle was created for you. It’s not group therapy or interpersonal processing; it’s women taking care of themselves, together. Find out more about our next season!
