A wild wombxns retreat for coming back home to Self
Friday August 20th, 2021, 3:00 PM - Monday August 23rd, 2021, 1:00 PM
Have you been feeling that something has not been entirely all there or feeling completely right as of late? We're all still healing from the reverberations of last year leading into this year, yet there's a feeling that there's something more, like maybe there is something you are waiting for but you're not entirely sure what it is? If that is YOU, know that that IS you're intuition begging you to pay attention, guiding you where you need to go. And if you're here reading this, this may or may not be what your soul is seeking but its a start to GET curious. Right now the world is experiencing a massive shift and that means its time for us to go back to our cores, reveal our truest selves and no longer hide our gifts. Revealing what truly matters to us and how that can only ever be truly found within us. I invite all souls with a womb (physical or energetic) to join me for a sacred weekend of unearthing, healing and connecting to that which we are all a part of, our Divinity. Its time to REWILD oursleves. That feeling is your inner self, your highest self, telling you, reminding you que TU ERES SAGRADA! You’re a wild wombxn on a journey of reclaiming all that is YOU. All that is wild and all that is sacred.
On this journey together we will seek to come back to ourselves by honoring ourselves, our bodies, our minds and each other while surrounded by nature. This includes starting to get curious and honest with ourselves. Bringing our bodies, minds and spirits into their highest vibrations. The entire weekend will be solely focused on nourishing and balancing our physical, mental, spiritual, and energetic bodies through our chakras and being surrounded by like minded beautiful souls.
Chakras are subtle energy centers within our body located where we experience emotional and/or spiritual energy. Although there are many chakras, we will be focusing only on 7 of them.The word Chakra means ‘Wheel’ and is found in various contexts in ancient literature. In order to feel at your best, your chakras need to stay open and balanced. If they get blocked or unbalanced, you may experience physical or emotional symptoms related to a particular chakra in your inner and outer world. In this journey back to Self, you will learn not only about each chakra but more importantly about yourself and the tools that work best for YOU.
Each day will consist of healthy high-vibrational meals*, drinks and teas, meditations, yoga movements, journaling (journal and prompts provided), reiki and an activity correlated to the well-being of the chakra(s) we will focus on each day; beginning with the root and ending with the crown. We will also pay reverence to the full moon on Sunday, the 22nd with an offering we will make in the form of tobacco, sage, a crystal, a letter or another item whether handmade or specially made for the moon.
*please advise if you have any type of food/drink allergy in advnace.
Everything is included. All you need to bring is an open heart, a curious mind, & clothing that makes you feel comfortable and can move your body in. Bring one comfortable nice outfit for the sacred full moon ritual on Sunday, the 22nd. Keep in mind shoes are optional for this event. But just in case you don’t want to forget anything (because I know I don’t), a packing list will be sent in advance.
This retreat will be held in a beautiful, mountain location in the Pocono mountains, surrounded by a woodland forest, a peaceful little stream and a serene lake.
Our first day will have special guests: starting off with International Visual artist, @Andrea_Marceles facilitating a mini yoni clay workshop & steaming expert & founder of Sientate steams, who will facilitate a group/individual steaming. Second day will feature special guest and world renowned visual artist, @NubiaMedina, to facilitate a creative workshop where we will learn a traditional indigenous weaving technique to create our very own ‘Recuerdo Ancestral’.
A poll will be sent in advance for our wombxn-at-play activity on sunday.
There will be plenty of free, chill time to do whatever else makes your heart sing!
The home has many amenities which include: a 4 person boat, a hot tub, a sauna with specialty teas sage, lavender, chamomile and eucalyptus to use for steam, swimming, walking, a fire pit, bbq grill, game room, or just simply relax in the hammock under the trees!
