Immerse yourself in a transformative weekend retreat for women-identifying and nonbinary folk centered around sacred embodiment.

There is no greater teacher than our physical body.  It is the most honest, sincere, trustworthy, and wise voice that speaks to us.  When we can nourish what the body needs and honor what it knows, it becomes the vehicle of our liberation.

Held at picturesque Brasada Ranch in the high desert outside Bend, Oregon, we invite you to experience the power of community, ritual, and self-discovery.  Ana Forrest style morning yoga sessions will focus on accessing joy and vitality through backward bends and inversions, with options for all levels of adventure.  Meditation, breathwork and chanting will deepen your connection with your intuition.  Ceremony will help guide you to self-reflection and the inner awarenesses held safely in the grounded container of your body.

Sacred embodiment is the ultimate act of self-care and self-love.
