Dates: December 12-14, 2025

Location: San Diego, California

Hosted by: Empowered Feminine Collective (A community dedicated to women’s spiritual and sensual awakening through ancient wisdom and modern practices.)

Shaman Lizzy, a masterful shamanic practitioner, psychic medium and spiritual teacher with deep roots in intuitive healing and sacred medicine facilitation, joins forces with Shelly Insheiwat, an Emmy-nominated producer, entrepreneur, and cosmic business coach dedicated to igniting abundance, love, and freedom in your life.

Investment: $3,333 (Includes all workshops, meals, accommodations in shared luxury space, and materials. Limited to 20 participants for an intimate, transformative journey.)

Retreat Overview

Join us for Dark Goddess Unleashed, a three-day immersive retreat designed exclusively for women ready to dive deep into the mysteries of the dark feminine. In the vibrant energy of San Diego’s sun-kissed shores, we’ll awaken the untamed power within—the fierce, sensual, and shadowy aspects of the divine feminine often suppressed in modern life. Drawing inspiration from feminine archetypes, this retreat is a sacred space to reclaim your wild essence, release old wounds, and emerge empowered, radiant, and unapologetically authentic.

Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or new to shadow work, this retreat offers a supportive sisterhood to explore themes of sacred rage, sensual sovereignty, and primal connection. Through a blend of ancient rituals, embodied practices, and creative expression, you’ll learn to harness the “dark” not as something to fear, but as a source of profound strength, creativity, and liberation. Expect to leave with renewed vitality, deeper self-love, and tools to integrate this energy into your daily life.

Accommodations feature eco-friendly rooms, nourishing plant-based meals, and plenty of time for reflection amid San Diego’s stunning natural beauty. All activities are facilitated by female spiritual guides, ensuring a safe, consensual, and transformative environment.

Daily Schedule and Activities

Our program unfolds over three days, balancing structured sessions with free time for integration, beach walks, or personal journaling. Each day builds on the last, guiding you from introspection to ecstatic release and empowered rebirth.

Day 1: Arrival and Awakening the Shadow (December 12)

Arrival and Welcome Circle (4 PM - 5 PM): Settle into your cabin and join a grounding Sisterhood Sharing Circle. Share intentions, connect with fellow participants, and set the container for vulnerability and support.

Afternoon: Shadow Work Integration (6 PM - 7 PM): Dive into personal shadows through guided journaling, visualization, and group sharing. Uncover hidden patterns and begin healing wounds tied to the dark feminine.

Evening: Goddess Invocation Rituals (7 PM - 8 PM): Gather under the twilight sky for ceremonies invoking dark goddesses. Build personal altars, chant invocations, and meditate to channel their fierce wisdom.

Night: Sensual Breathwork and Meditation (8 PM - 9:30 PM): Awaken kundalini energy with breath practices designed to release emotional blocks and embrace your inner darkness as a wellspring of power. End with a gentle integration.

Day 2: Embracing Rage and Sensuality (December 13)

Morning: Yin Yoga for Deep Release (8 AM - 9 AM): Start with slow, introspective poses held for extended periods to access subconscious layers, promoting emotional catharsis and physical surrender.

Mid-Morning: Primal Body Painting (9:30 AM-10:30AM): Adorn your body with symbols, henna, or paints in a ritualistic celebration of your reclaimed form.

Mid-Morning: Sacred Rage Screaming Sessions (10:30 AM - 12 PM): In a safe, facilitated space, vocalize suppressed anger through primal screams, transforming rage into empowerment and clarity.

Afternoon: Tantra Education Workshops (1 PM - 3 PM): Explore ancient Tantric principles, energy flow, and intimate self-connection. Learn techniques for enhancing awareness and relationships without crossing into partner work.

Late Afternoon: Claiming Your Sacred Sexuality (3:30 PM - 5 PM): Guided exercises and discussions on embracing your sexual power, setting boundaries, and engaging in sensual self-exploration for personal sovereignty.

Evening: Tribal Drum Circles and Dance (6 PM - 8 PM): Connect with primal rhythms through drumming and free-form movement, fostering community and ecstatic expression in a bonfire-lit circle.

Night: Ecstatic Shadow Dance (8:30 PM - 10 PM): Unstructured dance to embody and move through your shadows, blending sensuality with raw emotion for profound release.

Day 3: Integration and Rebirth (December 14)

Morning: Sound Healing Immersions (8 AM - 9 AM): Experience crystal bowls, and vocal toning to resonate with your body’s deeper frequencies, clearing energetic stagnation and amplifying inner harmony.

Closing: 9:30-10AM: End with a final Sisterhood Sharing Circle for reflections and farewells.

Departure: By 10 AM on December 14, with optional group breakfast.

What to Bring and Expect

• Comfortable clothing for movement, yoga, and outdoor activities (layers for San Diego’s mild winter weather, averaging 60-70°F).

• Personal items like journals, crystals, or sacred objects for rituals.

• An open heart—activities may evoke strong emotions, but our facilitators provide emotional support and consent-based guidelines.

• Benefits: Participants often report breakthroughs in self-confidence, healthier boundaries, and a deeper connection to their intuition and sensuality. This retreat is clothing-optional in select sessions to honor body autonomy, but always respectful and non-sexualized.
