The feminine body, heart, soul is alive with life. She is connected to the wider webs of nature, life, coherence. She is alive and pulsating with life force. Do you feel this way? Do you feel alive with your soul passions? Guided by your intuition? Deeply connected and in tune with your body? In love with your life?
When we’ve experienced pain, trauma, wounding, these create veils and layers of protection between our truest selves and the outside world. Of course we need protection — to buffer our sensitive selves from the pain of the world — to ensure that we tone down our too muchness to ensure belonging — to deny our intuitive knowings to keep going with the status quo — because actually being fully connected means disconnection from the disconnected world we live in. BUT what if you could actually feel and experience safety and security in yourself, your life and body? What if you could be connected to your intuition and feel safe enough the follow it, even when it’s directing you to go against the tides of the masses? What if your soul aliveness was so ripe, so excited, so passionate you couldn’t help but allow her full expression to shine through? To be so connected to the web of life you KNOW you have intrinsic belonging, you have support, you have resourcing that is so much bigger and wider than you even knew possible before?
This is what Embodied Aliveness is inviting and holding for you. A space to metabolize through the fear, the trauma, the veils of forgetting, to allow your body, soul, and intuition to expand, to breathe, to live, to express, to pulse with the breath of life.

Do you yearn for belonging? For connection to yourself, to actually be able to hear and listen to your heart's deepest callings? Come re-wild your body and soul to pulse with life once more.

We will be working WITH our bodies, not doing anything to them. No force, no coercion. There will be  much choice, so much honor of your wisdom, your right pacing. This retreat will be a time to sink more deeply into yourself, rather than a time to escape from yourself. A time to befriend and tend to your wild feminine self, to let her be free, rather than taming and caging her any longer.

Stepping across the threshold into true self sovereignty.

​

Self sovereignty is about embodying the wholeness of your feminine, masculine, and your core innocent nature. Most of us, or all, have some deep wounds associated with all three of these energies. When we do they turn in the shadow natures of the rescuer, the persecutor, and victim. We will circulate around this triangle perpetuating these energies until we heal and embody the health and goodness of them. These energies cause us to stay powerless and stuck in energies of blame, shame, guilt, judgement, resentment, denial, and victimization. When transformed they are powerful allies, of power, support, communication, co-creation of our most thriving selves and lives. We move from feeling like our power and safety is outside of us to embodying the truth of our power is within, and with this comes a powerful flow of light. Our truest selves emerge and sit in the center of our hearts. Our own internal hearth fire of our hearts in connection to the divine guide us through life, and allow us to shine our unique light and truth into life. 

We will be utilizing somatic practices to help alchemize these wounds into wisdom. What I most often hear about these practices is that they are gentile yet powerful. They have the magical ability to meet you right where you are. No pushing, no having to go into deeper depths than what you are ready for, but a meeting of you. Meeting you right where you are. Tidally moving into something and then returning to health and safety. My prayer for you is that you are met in love and safety and leave with a true embodied sense of Self. And you have these practice to take with you to continue to utilize and support you. This somatic work has moved mountains of wounding I have held. Wounding that I didn’t even know was there. I was able to start crying again working with these practices after 10 years of not being able to. Actually being able to release my grief has opened up the rivers of life inside me to flow more fully. For me to be flowing with aliveness rather than stuck in the past.

Our world needs you to be alive, to be connected to Life, to be so alive with your aliveness. If you feel this, if you feel something inside you stir, take it as a sign from your inner knowing that this retreat is aligned for you. A place, a space, a circle of belonging for you to come join.
