To be born onto earth is to be born of the earth.
To be birthed from the womb of Great Mother as the continuation of Her lineage. We are the microcosm of Her
Our essence is deeper than something that can be quantified— it is A planetary, elemental force of nature incarnate
Within a body, tangible, touchable, malleable.
Human
We are forever tethered to the umbilicus of earth. We, like her, birth & generate life itself
We decompose & dissolve only to return to life again. As temporary as we are infinite
We are the givers and keepers of life and the conduits for creation
Mother and child. Earth and body
awareness of our relationship is vital for our very being
In a time where we are constantly being drawn away from our rootedness and interconnectedness, she is calling you home.
In this immersion, there is space for your body to sink into the unknown. To be consumed by soft, thick, lush feminine. To be cradled by sacred land, by the bodies of others, by your own body— the earth. The mother within you that is within all.
this is where we let ourselves fully return to this sacred relationship
And to feel alive in our bodies, awaken our senses, move beyond the illusion that we are separate
And recognize that we have always been ONE
EARTH as body
Body as EARTH
We just are as she just is

Awareness of body as earth inherently provides space where the essence of true nature is called forth to be encountered and witnessed in all that you are and all that you are meant to be.
During this immersion we will be holding this space lovingly & impeccably so your deepest essence can emerge organically.
This truth and raw energy you emit will be captured intentionally throughout our time together by Jessie McCall, a wildly talented creative. She will be thoughtfully photographing us with reverence during our practices, from the alchemical moments amidst bodywork to the time spent in introspection.
These photos will serve as a reminder of what you can experience within the spectrum of your being. Your entire humanness. capturing you here is a part of our ceremony.
This is not meant to be a performative space. As we gather in this immersion, we invite you to unwind, to dive deeper into your innate self & exist from your true center.
Each woman will receive 1:1 mini photo sessions in the desert and underwater in the heated saltwater pool, to have the opportunity to celebrate themselves & experience their body as art.
All photos will be shared & delivered to individuals during the post-immersion integration call.
“I believe everyone deserves to feel like art.
I like to assist in this process through capturing you underwater, wrapped in gold scarves and white linen. I want women to experience something new in front of the camera. An experience that connects people with their bodies that inspires self-confidence and personal trust. That and, it’s just plain fun. Anyone can be art. Every body is beautiful and capable.
My life mission is to inspire connection. Connection to self, to the ones you care about most, to the essence and harmony that is achievable.”

what women have said about
our previous immersion COALESCE:
The RITUALS were the most enriching part of this retreat! These healing women held space for us with a fierce call to nature. If your intention is inner freedom and giving yourself the care you would gift your favorite person-then come to one of their retreats! You’ll feel in your body a new beginning and see yourself reflected in another and sense belonging. I left feeling ease, grace, and acceptance. Strong magic. If you are tired of the inner dialogue inside that holds you back from love and growth come to this retreat and get crazy with your sacred self! Also-I absolutely loved the food!— Amber Heard, Traverse City, MI
Something new opened within me. I am profoundly grateful to have met these wise women and for their divine connection to the earth-this experience brought awareness and an entirely new level of respect. If you are considering attending one of their retreats I would encourage you to do it. It was empowering and really took me to my edges-and completed a cycle for me because I was held by other women in moments of pain. I feel many women could use this. — M. S., Traverse City, MI
I feel emotionally worked but deeply nourished! This was the first retreat I’ve ever attended that I could actually drop into. They did an amazing job modeling how to support yourself in experiences like this. Their teamwork and beautiful love for each other was inspiring and hopeful to see. Quality time with amazing women in a beautifully held container centered around herbalism, honoring the hearth, and each other. The food was local and organic, plenty of time to rest and take care. They cared deeply about everyone and celebrated each of us. — Brooke Watkins, Gainesville, Fl
