Join Susan, Cari and our Everyday Medicine Woman community for a deeply healing and transformative gathering now celebrating its 20th year at the exquisite Sunrise Springs Resort in magical Santa Fe for The Power of the Circle: Liberating Our Soul’s Voice.

The Power of Our Story

One of the most powerful ways we represent ourselves is through our voice. When infused with heartfelt connection, our stories convey the life map of our journey, that of our ancestors and our collective experience as women throughout time. How do we connect with our soul’s voice? How do we express our truth out in the world? 2020 is opening the door to a new era with powerful astrological trends and intense global shifts. As we learn to discern our authentic memory and personal story from the narratives we have come to identify ourselves with, we can share who we are and what we value with more pleasure, purpose and in sacred leadership. 

At this year’s retreat, we will track the theme of liberating our soul’s voice; our inner oracle that can be trusted to convey our feelings, dreams, needs and aspirations. With the power of worthiness and courage, we will access a new story that is longing to be birthed. Together we will witness and be seen as we release and unwind aspects of what is distorting, constricting and inhibiting authentic self expression, creativity and love.

"Susan and Cari created a transformational experience. Each step of the journey felt intentional, from the pre-retreat call, mealtime connections, healing ceremonies, and time to reflect. The time spent was nourishing and facilitated so many positive shifts."

Why We Gather

Since 2000, Everyday Medicine Woman has created opportunities for women to gather together with the intention of remembering who we really are in a community of like-hearted, soul-centered women. Each woman is called to our gatherings for different reasons. Once we separate from the distractions and demands of everyday life, we drop into a deeper place of connection with self, community and with nature. It is through these doorways of the natural world that an even greater magic unfolds. We begin to recognize that we are not only part of nature but that we are part of a sacred ancestry of intuitive universal wisdom yearning to be awakened, restored and embodied.

Through a combination of sharing in circle, storytelling by the fire, engaging in ceremonies designed to open a space for honoring and moving our grief, inspiring our sacred visions, gazing at the stars, syncing our life cycles with the moon, dedicating to our dreams, dancing our passions and becoming one with the beauty that we see in nature - we find that what we are seeking lives within. We gather to author our next life chapter and fully show up to a world in need of the feminine divine.

"There’s nothing more healing and powerful I’ve experienced than being seen, listened to and accepted as part of the divine feminine circle. Transformative experience."

The Power of the Circle

The power of the circle is in the intentions we set, the integrity we hold, the bond we cultivate and the mutual commitment to a judgement-free environment. The circle offers a healing space large enough for each woman to feel a sense of freedom to claim personal boundaries and intimate enough to feel as if she is being held in the arms of unconditional love. The circle is a magical realm that opens a portal for multifaceted exploration. We invite you to step into this place of sacred feminine mystery and discover that you are the remedy you seek and that you hold the power to finally share it with others on your own terms. Let us liberate our soul’s voice and write a new collective story of empowerment together. 

Join us in magical New Mexico for 2020!!
