The plants are stretching toward their fullest expression, and we are invited to do the same: to root deeply and receive solar energy with ease, anchoring that light in our bodies, our relationships and our work on Earth.Held in a supportive container of sisterhood, we’ll explore somatic practices that support nervous system regulation, deeper embodiment, clarity and a felt sense of belonging—making visibility and self-expression feel safe.If you’re feeling the call to connect deeply with nature and the wisdom held in your body… To expand your capacity to hold your own radiance and awaken the fierce, luminous love of the Solar Feminine…We invite you to join us in the forest for this intimate retreat. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/f1619b80-3a95-11f1-bd1f-f1e10f03be6f-rimg-w1110-h740-dc1d2d14-gmir.jpg Our time together during this somatic, nature-based retreat will include…☀️ Heart coherence practices to strengthen nervous system resilience☀️ Somatic movement, fascial release & embodied integration ☀️ Exploration of boundaries, visibility & healing the witch wound and sister wound☀️ Vocal activation for authentic, embodied self-expression☀️ Inquiry into Solar Feminine archetypes & Mary Magdalene teachings☀️ Alchemical work with gold as a symbol of resilience and steady radiance☀️ Sacred rage and solar activation ritual☀️ Native plant identification and guided plant spirit medicine journey in the forest☀️ Flower medicine and essence crafting☀️ Tobacco (hapé) and blue lotus tea ceremonies☀️ Swimming in pristine, mineral-rich mountain waters☀️ Morning breathwork and yoga☀️ Gourmet, locally sourced organic meals crafted by chef Madeline Morgan☀️ Evening fires and medicine song circles☀️ Ecstatic dance with the fireflies☀️ Spacious time to rest, wander and connect with the land☀️ Supportive sisterhood in a group of powerful women https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/f194b970-3a95-11f1-bd1f-f1e10f03be6f-rimg-w1200-h675-dcbfc0bf-gmir.jpg One theme we'll be working with is the Solar Feminine, or inner knowing made visible and embodied in the world. This can look like:Trusting your clarity instead of second-guessing itSpeaking, creating or sharing before it feels perfectStaying open, but holding clear boundariesDirecting your energy outward, not just processing it internallyGrounded, honest self-expression—not performanceWith our feet rooted on the ground, we’ll engage in ritual with the Sun to anchor the light that peaks at the Summer Solstice into our earthly vessels.We’ll also explore the Solar Feminine connection to elemental gold.Gold is born in the heart of stars—enduring yet soft. Across mystical traditions, gold has long symbolized incorruptible love: a radiance that holds steady under pressure. In the body, this becomes something we can feel and cultivate—the resilience of a nervous system that can remain receptive without losing itself and meet intensity without becoming reactive. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/f1e152d0-3a95-11f1-8e34-03a3d24e2476-rimg-w555-h740-dcd77633-gmir.jpg Nourish Your Nervous System & Cultivate Heart CoherenceWith somatic self-care practices for nervous system support, we will build our capacity to hold intensity—anger, desire, grief, joy—without becoming overwhelmed or shut down. We’ll explore practices that cultivate resilience and coherence, helping you stay present with what arises.This retreat supports nervous system healing through embodied practice, nature immersion and intentional rest—creating the conditions for clarity, steadiness and connection. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/f2133840-3a95-11f1-8e34-03a3d24e2476-rimg-w987-h740-dc482a16-gmir.jpg Explore Sacred Rage as a Clarifying, Protective ForceThe light of the Summer Solstice reveals what has been hidden. Anger becomes information—an intelligent heat that shows us where we override our needs.Through ritual, embodied movement, somatic inquiry, and non-violent communication, we’ll explore how anger can illuminate healthy boundaries. Sacred rage is welcomed here—not as chaos, but as a clarifying fire that protects what is sacred and restores truth. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/f26ddb60-3a95-11f1-9ae8-319d9eeeb8a5-rimg-w555-h740-dc5e5f30-gmir.jpg In the ancient forest, we’ll enter into conscious relationship with plants as living intelligences—rooted in soil layered with mineral memory. Plants are master translators of light, drawing solar energy into their leaves and transforming it into nourishment, medicine and form. In this way, they turn celestial radiance into earthly wisdom.Through native medicinal plant identification and guided plant journeys, we’ll rekindle our ancestral relationship with the green world as healer, protector and mirror. This somatic nature immersion experience is a core part of the retreat—supporting nervous system regulation, restoration and deeper connection to the body and the natural world.We’ll deepen our capacity to listen to the subtle language of the plants, to the intelligence of the land and mineral kingdom, and to what remains clear and steady within ourselves.In ceremony, we’ll enter into reverent relationship with tobacco as an ally in illumination. When approached with respect and consent, tobacco can strengthen intention and clarify boundaries, refining our relationship to personal and relational power—helping us discern what we stand for and what we are ready to release. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/f2b125f0-3a95-11f1-bd1f-f1e10f03be6f-rimg-w740-h740-dc4a4532-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/f2e22100-3a95-11f1-bd1f-f1e10f03be6f-rimg-w1200-h675-dca95e2c-gmir.jpg Be Deeply Nourished with Fresh, Locally Sourced, High-Vibe MealsDining in the beautiful Celestial Hall, we’ll enjoy seasonal, locally sourced, organic meals prepared by beloved chef and kitchen witch Madeline Morgan.
