About this trip

Reconnect to the power of sisterhood at Everyday Medicine Woman's 19th Annual Gathering at the exquisite Sunrise Springs Resort in magical Santa Fe for The Power of the Circle: A weekend of re-mothering and remembering who we are together


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. While each woman might be called to our gatherings for many different reasons, once separated 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 as we begin to recognize that we are not only part of nature but that we are part of a sacred ancestry of rich 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 and who we are is less interesting than how we can bring it forth in our world. 


We gather to author our next life chapter and fully show up to a world in need of the feminine divine.


Deposits Due by November 30th!  (Balances Due by January 2nd)

We had a wonderful time convening. The group gelled quickly, took good care of each other and created space for each of us to ground our energy then boom into our true selves by the end of the weekend.
