What does it mean to fully tend to and nourish your body? Not to fit a “type”, not to fit a societal beauty standard, but simply for your own wellness. For your own holy wholeness?

What would it feel like to eat from this place? To breathe from this place? To move and dance and sing from this place? A place of such deep acceptance of your essence, your holy vessel, as woman, as lover, as mother, and as friend that all the things you were ever taught about how you “should” look, feel, act, or love-become background noise

Woven in an opportunity to explore this type of self love, all while gently held within a community of sisters who are also weaving together their own healing stories

together we will create a symphony of color and texture — each of us a unique thread in the tapestry of our collective fabric of healing

together we will redefine what it means to be in sacred sisterhood and what it means to be in devoted relationship with ourselves

This is an immersion designed for each of us to step into the power that lies within our bodies through community, touch, education, and unification of energies

This is an opportunity to feel refreshed and empowered by our time together, taking on a newly invoked sense of vitality with concrete skills to help you take care of your own body outside of this container while building lifetime sisterhoods with other like minded women that will be forever rooted in the magic within this sacred container.

We will be weaving together the transition of the warm season and long days with the cold, dark, inward months

When the seasons shift externally as they do, it is important to treat our bodies with accordance, and honor the seasonal shift that occurs internally

We do this by embracing the “yin” cycle of the year and doing things like eating more cooked foods, taking hot baths, sitting by the fire, doing self oil massage to nourish our skin and tissues, taking time to gestate what will become birthed once more in the spring

This is a time for cultivation of our purpose in life. We are gifted these incredible few months to take the time that we need to slow down and really sit with what we are dreaming up, to give it the intention that it deserves, to let it blossom into all that it wants to be as it comes through infused with our essence 

Woven is an opportunity to learn these skill sets of how to deeply nourish, tend, and listen to our bodies so we can be hollow vessels for which our life’s purpose can be deeply channeled whilst weaving together the sensuality that life hold for us in each simple moment,  that we get to choose to explore as sovereign women and beings in the world. 

We are coming together to learn how to hold each other as we maintain our own sense of deeply rooted self. 

Unrelenting — like the winter wind that allows spaciousness for new life to make way. 

Everything has its purpose.

what women are saying:

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

Thank you for this wonderful experience! I loved being around other beautiful (inside and out), kind, and loving women. I loved the rituals, the songs, the dancing and embodiment practices. If you are feeling called to one of their retreats-I would tell you to do it! It has inspired me to find friendships like this in my local community. — J. C., Boulder, CO

This unique opportunity will open you to the depths and heights of yourself in nourishing, loving ways with other beautiful women. If you long for connection and freedom this experience is for you! — Hilary Lake, Petoskey, MI

[This retreat] helped strengthen my connection with my womb and expand my roots and sense of grounded-ness. Being loved and witnessed by these dear sisters has allowed me to reprogram and work through sister wounding from childhood. By tending to myself and the triggers that came up around this retreat, I gained a compassionate perspective on some of my shadowy elements that have limited my expansion in the past. — Danielle Zick, 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
