Sacred Retreats

 

A 2-day Sacred Feminine Archetype Urban Retreat

Archetypes are an ancient psychology identified and studied by medicine people, priestesses, philosophers, and even storytellers. 

“Archetypes are universal, inborn models of people, behaviours, and personalities that play a role in influencing human behaviour. These archetypes are archaic forms of innate human knowledge passed down from our ancestors.” (APA Dictionary of Psychology. Archetype. American Psychological Association.)

In times passed, archetypes were highlighted in sacred rites of passages, ceremonies, as well as myths and legends across all Lands. Every being on earth is animated by their expression of masculine and feminine energy. And in our unique expression, we relate to different archetypes at different times of our lives.

Archetypes hold power and wisdom that cross many realms and move beyond the confines of linear timelines. Reclamation of certain energies within the archetypes can be a new way that a person can heal and rewire their neural pathways. Archetypes act as keys that when unlocked offer a surge of wisdom and embodiment for the explorer to understand. 

This August I will be holding a sacred container of exploration, embodiment, and archetypal empowerment!

In a connective weekend together, we will go through an intensive immersion into the Sacred Feminine by exploring the four major archetypes: the Maiden, Mother, Enchantress, and Crone. 

As our ancestors once received these teachings from their Grandmothers and priestesses of Sacred Feminine Mystery Schools, it is our birthright to reclaim this knowledge and integrate these spiritual teachings into our ways of being.

Within each archetype we will explore tea pairings, circle work, archetypal incantation and activation, sacred teachings, movement, meditation, and a signature workshop.

Values & Response-ability

As we move through this weekend together we will be sharing emotions, feelings, and process in circle and various activities and workshops. Anything that is shared by other participants is confidential and will not be shared outside of our space. You are welcome to share your experience outside of our space.

We are not therapists and will not give each other advice, only listening and mirroring back what we hear or witness if requested.

We will offer all individuals respect.

This space is for any being who identifies as a woman and feminine. I will be using the words woman, women, feminine, femme, throughout the weekend to describe the spiritual, somatic, psychological, and sacred teachings we will be exploring. This container is designed to be a safe(r) space for our trans and fluid sisters and any behaviour that disrespects anyone in our space will result in a refunded ticket. Conversations to express understanding and restoration will be welcome after our weekend.
