Take time for you
We believe in ritual.
…and that there is something special about the threshold of the New Year combined with the intuitive cycle of nature that has nothing to do with harsh or restrictive resolutions or shame-charged should’s.
We believe in magic. And that spirituality can mean different things, and there is something special about digging into our innermost desires with the help of our journals, Tarot decks, crystals, yoga mats and the loving company of the forested land around us.
We believe in community. And that something powerful can happen when you combine a change of setting and scenery with a circle of kind and open-hearted women.
Rates and accommodations:
Shared twin bedroom (you will share room with 2-3 other women): $1,150

Group size:
The retreat is limited to 15 people, plus Kelly, Catherine, and our helper as well.
