Join MEGHAN DWYER for this mid-spring women’s retreat to honor the energy of Taurus + celebrate the season of Beltane, both of which remind us to slow down, feel + move with the rhythms of Mother Nature within and around us. And that beauty is an antidote to these troubling times.
Over the weekend, we’ll explore why unearthing the Divine Feminine — and intentionally gathering with women in circle and ceremony — is so vital right now. We’ll remember that healing our bodies includes expanding our capacity for pleasure, and that tending the Earth begins with deepening our spiritual relationship with her and offering her our deepest praise.
Feminine spirituality calls us inward and downward: into the body, where there is boundless potential for pleasure + creativity; and down into the Earth, where there are infinite sensual delights + deep sources of power for us to plug into.
Here at the oldest mountain range in the world (the Appalachians Mountains which the Poconos are part of), and inspired by the spiritual traditions of the Himalayans, we will behold the beauty of the Earth by awakening our senses, connecting with elemental energy, and spending ample time outdoors. We will also make beauty with the body through yoga, intuitive movement, music, dance, song, myth, storytelling, circle, and ceremony.
Expect to leave feeling more alive, more connected, and more rooted in beauty.

This Retreat is for you if you:
• are feeling disconnected from your body + soul
• feeling stuck or creatively depleted, longing for deeper connection with women
• desiring the time + space to further explore the path of the divine feminine in an embodied + collective way
• wondering where you belong, overwhelmed + brokenhearted by the state of the world
• or simply wanting to revel in the aliveness of mid-spring and take the time to notice what may be blossoming within you and around you

Retreat Weekend includes, but is not limited to:
• Daily yoga, movement + meditative practices, gentle, slow + accessible
• Ample time outdoors, including group walks
• Despacho Ceremony + Women’s Circle
• Hands-on, creative Earth-based practices
• Evening bonfire at Sunset Pond (weather permitting)
• Moka Chocolate Tour
• Healthy + whole foods
