Online registration fee: $149 — $360
In-person registration fee: $630 — $1040

Many of us feel called to help create a more compassionate, balanced, and inclusive world. Bringing about this kind of paradigm shift begins with a profound transformation in how we understand and embody the Sacred Feminine in our own lives. For much of human history, this power has been honored as essential to balance, creation, and the flourishing of life. Yet over the centuries, it has been diminished, suppressed, and driven underground by dominant cultural forces.

Now, the task is ours: to reclaim and restore this power—rediscovering its presence within ourselves and learning to channel it toward a vision of inclusivity, resilience, and collective healing. The Sacred Feminine is rooted in qualities such as nurturing, protection, creativity, mutuality, generosity, and healing. These are not limited by gender; they are inherent in all of us and available to anyone who chooses to cultivate and embody them.

In this workshop, we will draw on practices inspired by earth-based wisdom to reconnect with the Sacred Feminine within. Through meditation, engagement with the elements, and experiential exercises, we will explore these qualities and discover ways to bring them into balance within ourselves and our communities.

This workshop is largely experiential, providing tools to navigate life with greater clarity, compassion, and strength. You will learn to let the qualities of the Sacred Feminine serve as a compass, guiding your life toward harmony, purpose, and the courage and wisdom needed to meet the challenges of our time.

What you will experience:

• Reconnect with the Sacred Feminine within yourself through guided meditation and earth-based practices.
• Discover how and where you may have become disconnected from the power of the Sacred Feminine
• Learn tools for healing and restoring this connection.
• Receive a map for staying grounded in this power across all areas of your life
• Engage in experiential exercises that help balance the qualities of the Sacred Feminine within yourself and your community
• Receive practical tools to navigate life with clarity, compassion, and inner strength

Note: If you are taking this class online, please identify a place in nature close to where you will be calling in from where you will not be disturbed. We will be spending time outside rain or shine, so please dress accordingly. Please bring a journal to record your experience. Please bring a medium sized bag..
