Hey ,

I know it can feel strange to welcome in spring given the darkness of these times. Spring’s exuberance almost feels at odds with the destruction we are witnessing around the world. But to honor spring’s life-affirming energy is also to honor death and to grieve and remember all that has been lost. As Bayo Akomolafe reminds us “grief is how the flowers bloom”.  

The nature of spring is abundant and full of the capacity we need right now. We are being called to bring things back into balance and harmony. The word equinox literally means "equality of night and day". It honors the balance between dark and light because it understands that shadow work is essential to creation and rebirth.

May this season inspire us to do the work that enables everyone to bloom and thrive. Here are some of the questions I’m holding for this season: 

What conditions are needed for growth? 

What is ready to bloom and emerge?

What future state am I growing towards? 

How can I tend to my garden?

The womb is the cauldron of our collective's intuitive wisdom. The medicine of the womb is intuitive, and cyclical dancing through creation, birth, and death in a current that is never-ending, forever flowing, flowering, blossoming, and eventually decaying back into the earth and ethers. But so many of us have gotten disconnected from our bodies and stuck in our heads rationalizing, intellectualizing, strategizing and “being busy.” By parking our bodies the spaces of “doing”, we have lost touch with our own deeper, instinctual knowing. 

Surviving and thriving through these times requires that we return and reclaim the feminine power of care and creativity so that we can shepherd and shape a future that is beyond our wildest imagination. All of which called me to create WOMB RETREAT.

WOMB is a ritual and retreat for women who are ready to own their power and place in the world. Our journey will be supported and inspired by the majestic desert habitat of Joshua Tree, nourishing plant based meals, replenishing self care practices and guided ritual. Through dynamic movement practice, radical inquiry, rituals of remembering and reclaiming, mutual support and solidarity we will build the capacity to honor our needs, know our boundaries, and take care of ourselves so that we can show up in ways that we know we are capable of. This is a retreat of reclaiming ourselves and rediscovering our inherent power as creatives, catalysts and change makers. Here’s what you can expect:

✨Beautiful desert accommodations and grounds

✨Nourishing plant-based meals 

✨Dynamic movement to excavate stuck energy and unleash our potential

✨Radical inquiry and courageous conversation

✨Rituals to clear obstacles and call in courage and clarity

✨Dream design work and tools for direction and manifestation

✨Space for rest and play (hot tub, hammocks, fire pits, hiking, stargazing)

✨Sisterhood and mutual support
