Led by Brenda Watson

In this soothing vibrational experience, you will explore sound as a pathway to deep calm and inner coherence. Guided by the steady hum of tuning forks, you will feel your body soften, your breath deepen, and your nervous system gently reorganize itself into a state of ease.

As tension dissolves and your energy settles, you will experience what it feels like to truly arrive: receptive, open, and restored. You will carry this newfound groundedness with you throughout the retreat and into your daily life as a powerful tool for emotional regulation and embodied peace.

Led by Jillian Faldmo

This workshop invites you to awaken in harmony with the season itself. You will learn the energetics of spring and discover how to align your body, daily rhythms, and self-care with nature’s rising vitality. Through connection with medicinal plants and simple seasonal rituals, you will cultivate a renewed sense of energy, clarity, and internal flow.

You will leave with supportive practices for digestion, emotional wellness, and creative renewal for feeling more in tune with the living earth and with your own unfolding.

Led by Sage Siera

In this ritual-based and restorative immersion, you will be guided back into your body as a place of softness, devotion, and truth. Through breath, gentle touch, and embodied affirmation, you will release layers of tension and re-inhabit the landscape of your own being with reverence.

As your body unwinds, you will feel more grounded, safe, and fully present. You will be able to savor the beauty and stillness that early spring evokes. You will leave this session with a deeper sense of inner steadiness and a renewed relationship with the sacredness of your physical form.

Led by Ren Sullivan

This tender and imaginative journey invites you to reconnect with the younger parts of yourself who once moved through the world with intuition, curiosity, and unfiltered truth. Through guided memory, sensory exploration, and soft ritual, you will learn to listen to the girl you once were, not to “fix” her, but to honor her as the one who always knew the way.

You will experience a sense of wholeness and emotional clarity as you integrate her wisdom into your present-day self, awakening a deeper trust in your authentic voice.

Led by Ren Sullivan

This profound session invites you to reclaim the rites of passage that have shaped your life as a woman. We will re-learn the initiations often overlooked, yet deeply encoded in your body’s memory. You will explore the significance of thresholds such as menarche, motherhood, and menopause, and learn how ritual can bring reverence back into these transitions.

Through shared storytelling and a gentle ritual honoring your first bleed, you will experience a sense of belonging, lineage, and embodied remembrance. You will leave with a deeper understanding of how to weave ritual into your life and community, restoring the ancient feminine wisdom of being witnessed, held, and celebrated.

Led by Sage Siera

This floral immersion invites you into the subtle, enchanting world of flower essences. You will learn what flower essences are, how they are created, and how they support emotional and energetic transformation. Then, through collective ritual, you will craft a group flower essence imbued with intention, beauty, and the shared energy of the women gathered.

As you work with the flowers, you will deepen your intuition, soften your emotional field, and experience the quiet magic of co-creating with the land. You will take home a bottle of this essence as a reminder of your blossoming long after the retreat ends.

Led by Sage Siera

Our Sister Circles are sacred gathering spaces where women come together in honesty, ceremony, and compassionate connection. These circles invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and be witnessed in a way that feels safe, supportive, and true.

Each circle is gently facilitated to guide meaningful conversation, inner reflection, and shared wisdom. Through rituals, prompts, storytelling, and communal practices, you’ll have the opportunity to explore your inner landscape, honor your lived experiences, and feel held in the presence of other women walking their own paths of healing and awakening. You are invited to show up exactly as you are.

Somatic Embodiment Guide & Massage Therapist

I’m a trauma-informed somatic bodyworker and massage therapist based in Seattle, licensed for over 20 years. Through my practice, Body of Eden, I support clients in reconnecting with their intuition, reclaiming body trust, and restoring inner safety, especially those healing from trauma, spiritual disconnection, or systemic shame. My work integrates sacred touch, nervous system education, intuitive movement, and ritual. I believe that healing begins in the body, and that the body speaks a language older than words. I collaborate with therapists and healers to offer wraparound care rooted in presence, safety, and soul. My sessions and workshops help people access what the body remembers and what the younger self still carries, not as a broken part to fix, but as a wise collaborator in healing.
