About this trip

Reclaim the potency of your pelvic bowl and activate the energy of the feminine contained within your "Sacred Center."


This four day, three night retreat has been intentionally curated for you to remember and honor your Sacred Center: your pelvic bowl and all it contains: muscles, blood, energetics of root/sacral chakras, and the feminine energetics of intuition, receptivity, creativity, and sensuality; as celebrated parts of your femininity. 


As women in this modern age, we are influenced by social media and a hypermasculine framework in our careers and personal lives. It can become all too easy to fall victim to the outdated structures of always doing, producing, and achieving to receive accolades, promotions, and praise. 


On the opposite end of this spectrum, some of us may settle into a role of an unbalanced feminine energy: constantly nurturing others, martyrs, performing to please (fawning), never vocalizing desires or needs, to be seen and not heard. 


Neither of these are a sustainable way to live. 


You deserve more and better than this dear one and with the assistance of some amazing women on retreat with you; you will learn how to balance your masculine and feminine energies and live a truly balanced life when you acknowledge, honor, and come home to one of the most ignored and the most vital part of your expression as a woman: your Sacred Center.


With discussions about unique aspects of the feminine, including talks by four guest speakers on the pelvic floor, oriental medicine, erotic dance, and goddess storytelling, breath-work and movement practices, kundalini inspired yoga, meditation, free-writing, nature walks, sound bath, and more; you will integrate the abandoned parts of your womanhood for a balanced, sensual, joyful and replenished life. 


You will be guided back home to the most essential and feminine parts of your pelvic bowl, womb, heart, mind, and spirit and you will thrive in the splendor you radiate simply by living and moving as a woman embodying her Sacred Center.  

What is "Sacred Center"?

I’m so glad you asked. ​

Sacred: from Latin "sacer" meaning holy, also, connected with God (or the gods) or dedicated to a religious purpose, thus deserving great respect.


Center: from Greek "kentron" stationary point of a pair of compasses'" The most important place in the respect specified.


​So there you have it; your "Sacred Center" is quite simply put, the most important part of your body deserving divine respect.


Need more proof? 

Did you know that the tip of your sacrum is a part of your pelvic floor and that the ancient Romans called the sacrum os sacrum meaning "holy bone" and the ancient Greeks called it hieron osteon meaning "temple or sacred place"?


Your pelvic bowl (and all of your lady bits therein) is a place to be revered, respected, heck, even worshiped (as in some Tantric traditions). 


Yet too often in modern and patriarchal driven cultures, we are taught to cover up, ignore and be ashamed of the very thing that makes us uniquely able to create and live a fulfilling life.


Quite frankly, this is bonkers and no way for a goddess sister queen such as yourself to live your one gorgeously unique and wonderful life.


Can I get an amen?!

Scratch that.

Can I get an ah-woman?!


You know enough. 

You are enough.

Sometimes we need a reminder of that truth. 

Consider this it. 


Like a wilderness guide with a map and a lantern; I will walk beside you as you pave your own path back home to this knowing; back home to you, back home to your Sacred Center.

Are you ready to walk with me?
