This retreat is for the woman who…
Is standing at a threshold…
Maybe you’ve recently released a relationship– romantic, platonic, habitual– or a version of yourself you’ve outgrown.
Maybe you’re questioning doing exactly that. You feel the pulse of change in your body, the whisper of something new calling you home to yourself.
You long to reconnect with, or wholly embrace, your sensuality – not as performance, but as presence.
You crave sisterhood that feels safe, honest, and real.
You’re ready to root into your body, open your heart to nature’s rhythm, and remember the radiant woman you’ve always been.
