Welcome Sacred Sister.
Summer is a time of the Goddess, of enjoying the fruits born of the seeds we have planted in Spring, of gathering in celebration with our sisters, and of honouring the earth, her medicine, and the medicine of each other.
It is the season of the mother archetype who comes to the surface more fully, blooming with creativity and sensuality. It is a time of dancing around fires and enjoying life in full bloom.
Ripe with the energy of giving, summer is the space of devotion and harmony in our relations and awakening deeper sensuality and play.
As women, the mother moves in us during the full moon, Summertime, when we are taking care of others, birthing babies and new projects and visions to life. She is the space we give from without expectation, fully surrendering ourselves to service for the highest good. Like the earth, she is abundant and generous, her heart wide and deep.
She is a vital part of our life cycle and of the seasons, representing fullness, completion, and growth.
Her sister, the Wild Woman, comes to us throughout our life, monthly during the waning moon and before we bleed, also in our life cycle during our later mothering years and leading up to menopause. She represents Autumn, decay and letting go, receiving, and helps us to learn the value of opening ourselves to the wisdom within. She grounds and connects us to the earth, the seasons, and helps us come back home to our raw, authentic, wild expression. Without the wild woman we may forget to take time for ourselves, to give back to our sacred vessels, tending to our own gardens before those of others.
Wild Woman Rising is a summer embodiment retreat for women, to come together and honour both giving and receiving, rest and play, tap into their womb space and let the creative juices flow.
During our time together we will say THANK YOU to our bodies in the most nourishing of ways through embodiment workshops, circles, and self-healing practices, and invite in greater balance and harmony that we can bring home to deepen our relations with the ones we love and care for.
Think of it like a summer camp for Goddesses that will leave you feeling deeply cared for and rejuvenated.
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 an invitation to let go of outdated programs and belief systems about what a woman, mother, and wild woman should be and stand fully in our power, free of shame and fear of what others may think.
The Space- our home for the weekend
Our weekend immersion will be hosted at a beautiful home in the Courtenay area with gardens and plenty of outdoor space. You can choose to stay in one of the guest rooms, in a shared space with others in the main house, or in a tent in the gardens outside under the stars. Options and availability are outlined below.
Our meals will be nourishing for the body and spirit, and compliment the season of Summer with lots of fresh produce. We will celebrate our ancestral ways of community based dining and preparing food together.
