WISE WOMAN, CRONE, ENCHANTRESS, WITCH, PRIESTESS, WILD WOMAN, MEDICINE WOMAN, HEALER.

For centuries, these names were used as weapons against women to shame and make us forget. 

Now is the time of reclaiming the power of them. 

As we have done since the beginning, we gather to remember and rejoice as sisters and as women who embody the wisdom and wildness of dark feminine medicine.  

The Dark Feminine holds in her a power like no other.

She is the  energy we enter into during the second half of our cycle (during menstruation) and in our 40s and beyond in our life cycle. 

She is autumn, winter, letting go, surrender, death, rebirth, intuition, sensuality, wisdom. 

Her medicine is wild, raw, and unapologetic.  She is powerful and we have been taught to fear that kind of magick.  

She teaches us to honour our loving boundaries and tune into our deepest urges and wild calls for that which makes our heart, womb, and yoni feel juicy and alive!

The Wild & Wise Embodiment Immersion is a 3 day experience for women to come together as sisters, share sacred space and ceremony, and reconnect to the power of their inner dark feminine and her magick.  

Imagine being in a space for an entire weekend, dedicated to connecting with your body more deeply, to sharing your dreams and visions with others in a safe and supportive way, to being heard and seen in your magick and authenticity.  

Many of us have forgotten the ways in which women used to gather, as healers, oracles to their communities, medicine women.  It is a time of remembering who we are and what our deepest desires are telling us. 

It is also a time of letting go of outdated programs and belief systems about what a woman should look like or behave like and standing fully in our power as the wild woman does free of shame and fear of what others may think.  

The Lodge- our home for the weekend 

The West Coast River Lodge will be our personal sanctuary during our stay. Nestled in the forest on the banks of the river, surrounded by trees on all sides and visited frequently by woodland creatures like our deer friends, this space is the perfect container to hold us through our time together.  

We will share ceremonial space here during our circles in both the indoor and outdoor spaces, and in your free time you can enjoy a soak in the hot tub, a walk on one of the nearby nature trails, and plenty of space to enjoy a cozy nap or a book,  as well as time to connect with the other women by the fire.  

Our meals will be nourishing for the body and spirit, and compliment the shift in seasons as our bodies gently come out of winter and into spring, we celebrate our ancestral ways of community based dining and preparing food together.
