This purposeful weekend is designed for you to strengthen the bonds, connection and communication with the girls and women in your family, and to support you within your sacred female circle in an authentic and connective way. You can come together with your daughter, mama, grandma and spend the weekend having fun together, laughing, listening, bonding. Or you can come by yourself for inner work and healing, meditate and focus on the role and archetypal qualities of being a mother, daughter, grandmother, heal the “motherwound” and generational trauma, and work with power animals of the women in your family to strengthen the connection through spiritual work. ? Throughout the weekend we will have family and group circles and solo and group practices focusing on our sacred journeys. We will discuss, vision, journey, meditate, eye-gaze, communicate in peaceful ways and have fun together. We will sing, dance, hike, work with plants, make candles, paint, make a fire, cook together.
