Now is the time, sisters… to love ourselves… to give ease to ourselves… to get quiet and still and listen to the earth, the plants, the waters and the fire—to what is inside. From that place of stillness, presence and relaxation, we receive and re-member the keys to our wholeness and interconnection.

We humbly invite you into our circle of women who gather to reclaim their natural state of wholeness and innocence. We are consciously and equitably connecting with plant medicines to assist us on our path, receiving the medicine of flower blessings and songs. We are allying with the wisdom of our womb centers, our centers of creational magic. We are embodying the blossoming and dancing in the wellness that the earth and the Divine desire so much for us to experience.

Gather with us as we nourish and open ourselves, as we blossom into who we are and who we have always been.

As we dance toward the bright light of the Summer Solstice, the earth pulses with life, fertility and growth. On June 8th, having just entered the Rose New Moon portal, we’ll weave together in sisterhood for a day of ceremony, self-care, plant spirit medicine, nature connection and celebration of the blossoming.

We’ll gather at Dreamflower Sanctuary, an enchanting, secluded 60-acre homestead and retreat center located deep in the mountains of Marshall, NC.

Unfurl into the fullness of your creative feminine expression

The essence of creative feminine power, the ability to bring the unmanifest into being, is known as Shakti in classical Tantric philosophy (and by many other names in other traditions). This Divine Feminine force gives life and form to all things, and in balance with the Divine Masculine, generates creational magic and limitless abundance. She is nurturing, compassionate and deeply intuitive. Sensual, pleasure-driven and rooted in body- and earth-based wisdom, she delights in the blossoming of her unique medicine—and the flourishing of those around her.

We’ll explore how we relate to this cosmic current of creative energy as cyclical beings. We’ll look to nature to learn how effortless our own unfurling can be when we honor and tend to this energy—and the creative center of our womb space. We’ll release what no longer serves our flourishing and call in what supports us in actualizing our visions, embodying the fullest expression of our gifts, and reclaiming our pleasure in the process.

This retreat is for you if…

🌹 You’re a feminine being tending to your family, community, land, animals, businesses, art projects, and/or your own inner garden, with or without a womb, who is ready to move out of overwhelm and into thriving.

🌹 You feel so ready to release what no longer serves your flourishing.

🌹 You’re craving time and space for deep connection, nourishment, grounding, ceremony and witnessing as you prepare to BLOOM into the next phase of your evolution.

🌹 You’re ready to heal the personal and collective wounding that keeps us disconnected from our power and each other.

🌹 You want to learn more about womb care, the feminine medicine wheel, plant spirit medicine, and how to work with the medicine of flowers for physical, emotional and spiritual healing.

🌹 You intuitively sense that connecting more deeply with the rhythms and cycles of nature—and your body—can help you unleash your creative power and unlock your true potential for health, vitality and abundance.

🌹 You’re seeking a safe, intimate container to hold you in expressing your thoughts and feelings freely, and you’re well-resourced in managing your emotions and not currently processing active triggers.

IT'S A FULL-BODY YES!

Weaving together with other women and communing with the plants, the elements, and the rhythms and cycles of nature are some of the simplest and oldest, yet most profound ways to heal our personal and collective wounds and reclaim our feminine power.
