As the traditional marking of the end of harvest season, the Celtic festival of Samhain invokes both the celebration of summer's blessings as well as the invitation to turn inward. It is a time to gratefully reflect upon the abundance of the year. It also a time to begin to let go of what is no longer needed as we travel toward the dark time.

The thin veil between the worlds is lifted and connection with the spirit world is at its strongest. This is the perfect time to tune into the cycle of death-rebirth, honouring death as a precious part of life, to communicate with our ancestors and our loved ones who have died, and to bring light and compassion to the shadow parts of ourselves.

Embodied self-exploration and self-care practices are embedded throughout to support your healing process. 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, to Spirit, and to one another.

This retreat is open to a small group of women who are committed to inner exploration. We'd be honoured to hold space for your deepening... ✨

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 slowing down to rest that you need? Are you longing to access more of your personal power? 

Embodied self-exploration and self-care practices are embedded throughout to support your transformational process. Ritual and ceremony are the sacred catalysts. Nestled atop a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean and a stunning waterfall, the island cradles us as we deepen our connection to ourselves, to Spirit, to the land, and to one another.

Our time together 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 with ample spaciousness for sauna, hot tubs, hikes to the waterfall and other self-care practices.

In the embrace of Maui’s natural beauty, we honor the Makahiki season, a time of peace, celebration, tending to the land and our family to renew ourselves for the coming year. Simultaneously, we are marking the Celtic festival of Imbolc, dedicated to Brigid, the goddess of fire, healing, and renewal, and deeply connected to purification and setting intentions for the coming season. Together, the energies sourced from these traditions can guide and support us on a journey of deep healing, transformation, and self-discovery.
