Women . Embodiment . Transformation 

Riversong Lodge, Vancouver Island
With deep gratitude and respect, we acknowledge the beautiful land where Riversong stands on the traditional and unceded territory of the Cowichan Tribes (the Hul’q’umi’num people)  

Calling all maidens, mothers, matriarchs and crones...  

You are warmly invited to join us in this self-care retreat for women and those who identify as women.
We welcome you and Her in all of Her diversity of expressions.

~ Registration opens January 1st, 2026 ~

Are you curious? Seeking to explore yourself more deeply? Are you longing for deeper embodiment or hungry for some full-bodied expression through movement, creative arts and voice? Is there healing, grieving or simply being that you need? Are you longing to access your true personal power?

 Join us for a juicy weekend exploring Beltane's sensuous energy. Beltane invokes both the growth of spring renewal and the celebration of summer's fire. Tis the time to stir our seeds, deepen our roots and stretch our limbs to the light!

Embodied self-exploration and self-care practices are the theme. Ritual and ceremony are the sacred catalysts. Nestled in a cedar and fir grove along a beautiful running river, nature cradles us as we deepen our connection to ourselves and one another.
 
Beltane inspires us to explore our bodies, our creative fertility and the seat of personal power held within our womb space.

Our weekend will begin with circle sharing, intention setting, and simple movement practices. Throughout the days that follow, we will gather for expressive arts processes, dance, medicine rituals and various integration practices. We will also be exploring periods of group silence and meditation.
 
We encourage you to set an intention for yourself as well as an intention for the group. Our connection and shared experiences create a powerful field where healing and transformation naturally emerge.

We will be offering an online group preparation session to meet one another and begin to form our collective container. There will be another online session after our ceremony, to continue the integration process.

An intake is required to attend.
Please reach out to learn more!
