Your Journey to Liberation

Your Journey to Liberation

Day One: Honoring What Was

Begin your journey in a serene and secluded setting, where you'll join a circle of women who can understand your experience. Moving forward does not mean erasing the past. By honoring what was, you create space for what will be. Our opening session creates a foundation of safety and connection through:

  • Welcome ceremony and intention setting

  • Gentle grounding practices

  • Small group sharing circles

  • Evening Release Ritual beneath the stars

The Release Ritual: A Sacred Space for Grief

As twilight descends, participate in our signature ceremony that will help you process your divorce journey. In the warm glow of candlelight, surrounded by understanding hearts, you'll be guided through a powerful ritual of acknowledgment and release. This transformative evening offers a chance to honor your story, express unspoken emotions, and begin letting go of what no longer serves you. Between what ended and what beckons lies the sacred act of remembering with grace.

Day Two: The Space Between and Awakening Joy

We will start the second day embracing the powerful concept of liminal space – that fertile and sacred void between what was and what will be. Through carefully facilitated experiences, you'll:

  • Explore the gifts hidden in uncertainty and honor your courage for sitting in this in-between time

  • Practice self-compassion and release old identities with grace

  • Personal Reflection on your Journey and Supportive Community

  • Share wisdom with ceremony sisters and discover the richness of the unknown

We will conclude this powerful day with planting seeds of new possibilities and connecting with your inner wisdom:

  • Be guided as you sense and embrace what is emerging

  • Connect with your body's wisdom

  • Experience the liberation of ecstatic dance and the power of collective celebration

The Threshold Walk

In the heart of your divorce journey lies a sacred space - the pause between what was and what will be. Our powerful Threshold Walk ritual offers the opportunity to honor this transformative time with intention and grace, and find meaning and possibility in life's greatest transitions. In the space between no longer and not yet, we find our wings.

The Joy Activation

  • End the day with a profound state of presence through an ecstatic dance ceremony. Led by experienced facilitator, Katie Cheadle, this judgment-free celebration invites you to:

  • Release stored emotions through movement

  • Reclaim your relationship with joy and discover your own natural rhythm

  • Connect with your inner wisdom and move exactly as your body calls you to

  • Experience the power of collective celebration

  • Begin reclaiming your confidence to step into your next chapter powerfully. 

Our ecstatic dance ceremony is a transformative celebration of freedom, joy, and emerging possibilities. This carefully facilitated movement experience will support you towards reconnecting with your authentic self and stepping boldly into the next chapter. When we dance, we remember who we are beneath our stories. We remember joy lives in our bones, waiting to be awakened.

Day Three: The Magnetic Self

Your journey culminates in a celebration of your magnetic self. Reclaim your radiance through being adorned, honoring your natural radiance, and reawakening your divine and powerful feminine essence, you'll:

  • Be reminded of your inherent beauty, strength, and tenderness

  • Explore and reclaim your natural magnetism

  • Connect with and witness your inner light

  • Acknowledge your power to attract beauty, joy, and possibilities

The Magnetism Ritual: Our Closing Celebration of Renewal and Fresh Beginnings

  • End your transformational retreat with our ritual to celebrate your radiance, magnetism, and true essence

  • Using the healing essence of roses for a gentle, yet powerful ritual to support creating space for renewal

  • Roses - symbols of both strength and tenderness, allow for your heart to open to new possibilities and remembrance of your own inherent beauty

  • Reclaim your truth, playfulness, and glow

  • Witness the slow unfurling of new desires

  • Reawaken your natural rhythm and flow

Close your deeply profound retreat weekend with our magnetism ritual - a sacred ritual that honors both your innate power and truest essence. This carefully crafted experience will support the transformative work you’ve done and renewal of your personal energy. In the gentle sweep of roses, find the release your spirit seeks, while remembering the magnetic woman you’ve always been and watch as life responds to your awakened presence.
