'Don't ask what the world needs.
Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive'
Howard Thurman.

Our Earth & our human community is struggling. We need feminine power to rise & assert itself in the world more than ever before. But women often find themselves in a perpetual state of burnout. Or debilitating self doubt. Or over analysis. Or caught cycles of guilt induced sacrifice, people pleasing, self criticism & shame. We believe women need a sense of tribe to return to their essential vibrance & claim their creative power. They need feminine spiritual communities that are safe, diverse, loving & encouraging.

We want you to take time to nurture yourself in connection with other like minded women on this retreat. We want you to refill your cup & have the space to go deeply into who you truly are. To ask yourself what you want your life to be about & have the space to listen for the answers.

We want you to return to your daily life ready to dive in with a renewed connection to you Authentic Self, a sense of connection to Feminine Community & Uplifted Spirit.

Our Approach

Our retreats are what we call ‘full design’. When on the retreat, you can of course take time alone if you need to, but we encourage you to participate in our design & have what we believe will be a truly immersive & transformative experience in the company of other women.

Our aim is to create retreats – day ones, weekend ones, & multi day ones – that combine carefully selected interventions & practices on all the five levels – physical, psychological, emotional, spiritual & soulful. To do this, we invite different specialists to join us each time & we build retreat around a particular theme. We want the time you take away from your daily life & responsibilities to be truly healing. To this end, we include therapeutic design elements that we don’t find are usually included on retreats.

We want to make the most of the time we have with you & to bring you back to your day to day life truly impacted & inspired.

with Love,
Dana & Briar
