Welcome to a gathering of the sisters in the Sacred Valley of Peru.
I'm honored you're here.
For one week, we sit in circle to remember. Held by the strength and integrity of the Andes, and their revered mountain spirits the Apus, we invite this week as a sacred pause - entering at the speed of love, to listen.
Through altar building, womb connection, gentle somatic practices, yoga nidra, voice activation, goddess treatments, ceremonies and yin yoga... feminine embodiment will be alive and well in the space from our first despacho ceremony to our last night around the fire.
To truly walk the path of our ancestors, we will embody the Quechua principle of ayni - sacred reciprocity. We begin in right relationship with the land through a traditional Andean ceremony, ritual, and cultural exchange. Opening the doorway for us to ask for permission, in prayer that this becomes a natural way of living for each of us after our week together.
Together we will tend to our grief and wombs from this lifetime and many others. Releasing ancestral trauma and welcoming in newly learned ritual arts from the elders through the art of textile weaving with indigenous Quechua women of the Sacred Valley.
The space is open for women longing to restore their nervous systems and deepen their connection with Earth + one another in remembrance of a truly devotional, sacred way of being.
