Do you ever find yourself thinking or feeling like…

• You wish if only for a short time, you could get away and receive nourishment and reflection.
• You crave connections with women that are looking to spiritually evolve and grow.
• You just can’t keep hanging out with your lady friends without more depth and you desire a deeper connection to a sisterhood that you just haven’t found yet?
• You feel like you are curious what it feels like to be in  a sacred container where you are SAFE, HELD, and WITNESSED!
• You know the prayers that you say inside your heart are important, but there’s something more…..but you can’t quite put my finger on it , and it seems like there is a spiritual connection that is missing. 
• It seems there has been something long forgotten in the hearts and spirits of our collective Divine Feminine wisdom…… our lost sacred ceremonial knowledge. You may long to sit in circle with other women to express full reverence to all the life-giving elements.
• You need to be mindful of and pay full observance of the connection to the other world, the REALM OF SPIRIT. In a OUR way, unapologetically. 
  
• You are tired and weary from the endless day on repeat. Wake, eat, work, task, care for everyone’s needs, crash, burn, and……REPEAT!
• You wish you Could Afford the time and money it requires to replenish your soul, but simply….you can’t.

But is this true?

• Have you ever truly asked yourself what’s at the root of that truth, and where this even comes from?
• Most importantly, do you want to continue NOT LIVING out your longings, and keep this way of life going for yourself?
• What will that cost you ultimately?

This Retreat is for you!

Julie Kouyate, Dori Edwards, and Asia Sikkila are all about reclaiming the sacred element back into our daily busy lives. This retreat was born from a deep desire for women to live FULLY and FREELY under the true expression of the Divine Feminine principle.

Throughout our time working with women to bring the sacred back to every day, and to truly embody their creative genius, we have discovered that women have a DEEP wound. The wound of self-worth is a consistent backstory for most women. We are keeping the wound alive by adhering to ideas about how we MUST be, act, and express our deepest truth. This is getting in the way of our true capacity for living in our joy potential.

I often hear women speak such words as “I can’t move that sensually”, “I am not an artist” “who am I to claim that” “I can’t speak my truth, someone might not like it” and “I can’t dance, or sing”, ” I could never say those things”, “I am not lucky” I can’t manifest as she can” ……this ALL boils down to the same thing NOT FEELING WORTHY!

But believe me, sister, you are!
