“Energy moves in waves. Waves move in rhythms. Rhythms move in patterns. Patterns move in cycles. A human being is just this. Nothing more. Nothing less. A dance.” –Gabrielle Roth
Join us as we journey into an exploration of ritual healing for women. What is your relationship to the feminine and her wisdom? How empowered do you feel as a woman navigating this world? This retreat welcomes any person who identifies as a Woman+.
This workshop is focused on celebrating the body of Woman+ and the sacred feminine within. Through ritual practices, we will share in the sisterhood of humanity and all that it encompasses. We will engage in moving and seated meditation, self-care, Women(+)'s health fundamentals, and sharing circles. We will learn skills that support our empowerment, inner balance, and well-being during and after the time of this pandemic. These practices act as a poultice for old wounds while at the same time celebrate our present earthly bodies.
Dr Julie Von will share powerful, practical techniques to balance your nervous system and identify the unresolved wounds that might be keeping you in a constant state of reaction and stagnation, freeing your creativity and intuition. Lucia Horan leads us in a movement practice that combines stillness of Buddhist mindfulness with the moving mediation of dance to access and transform our bodies.
*Woman+ means all trans, queer, non-binary and gender non-conforming people.
