What happens when we allow ourselves to tend to the ways we are already free? To pay attention to the beauty of being in right relationship with our bodies, our voices, and the earth?
This 3 day, 2 night retreat is for a small group of people who are committed to stewarding thriving futures, who move with grief and joy simultaneously, and who are ready to let our voices alchemize to express our creativity and courage. Women and nonbinary changemakers will connect with body and earth based wisdom, tell our past-present-future stories and acknowledge the freedom that is already available to us now through nature and body based meditations, somatic practices, storytelling, singing and free time. You will go home with practices of freedom to take home with you, and resource you as you move through your life. Our magical facilitation team will be Shawna Wakefield and MawuLisa Thomas-Adeyemo, somatic healer, priestess and songweaver.
We will connect with body and earth based wisdom, tell our past-present-future stories and acknowledge the freedom that is already available to us now through:
-
Meditations and movement with nature as guide and companion
-
Spirit rooted creative practices of singing and storytelling
-
Somatic practices for grounding, transitioning and moving with loving power
-
Guided breath and bodywork to move deeply held emotions
-
Free time to spend in connection, with nature, reflecting, resting, and gathering insights
