Consciously or not, most among us have been conditioned to adapt to a world that has biased us toward the masculine. But in truth, the vital energies of the feminine and masculine - the yin and yang, receptive and active - naturally co-exist in dynamic balance together. When they dance in wholeness, the result is thriving health.
Join us for a restorative retreat that explores more compassionate, wise, respectful, and embodied ways of being that can transform how you experience your life, family, work, and the larger world.
Discover how we can enlarge, accelerate, and deepen one another’s learning — while creating the conditions for ongoing flourishing and joy in your own life.
What if relational intelligence, intuition, shared power, and allyship are the most essential qualities for a life of purposeful wholeness? In this time when everything is in flux, we are all called to act on behalf of what we love and the future we desire.
To respond and tend to our wellbeing while caring for what calls us in our outer world, we need to attend first to our inner world. This invites us to nourish the parts of ourselves that - due to conditioning from outmoded social systems - may have been neglected or undervalued.
We can restore wholeness within ourselves and our world by balancing the complementary energies that influence us through our daily lives. The yin and yang; the receptive and expressive aspects of our nature, the lunar and solar - the deeply elemental feminine and sacred masculine archetypes that live within each one of us. This rebalancing is vital for our own, and our collective, healing and well-being.
This workshop will integrate practices to explore:
This workshop is for women of all ages, backgrounds and disciplines, at all phases of their life’s journey, who identify as female or as non-binary, including a wide realm of gender expression
