I’ve thought of the terms “gathering” and “sistering” a lot the last few days. We have been isolated from others - that has caused us to see how valuable gathering is in our journey. After a weekend of being able to do just that, my heart & soul are filled, fueled and ready for what is next. I know the woman who attended with me feel the same way.

Woman are so made for community & connection! Good things happen when women connect together. When we meet with intention, some real magic happens: connections and relationships are built, oxytocin abounds, and lives are changed.

Which is the reason why I offered the Phoenix Immersion Retreat in person, despite the pandemic. I no longer wanted women to have to continue to choose between transforming their lives, and enjoying a transformative experience in the company of other kindred spirits.

I wanted anyone who felt like they could benefit from creating healthier physical, emotional, and spiritual boundaries to have an opportunity so easy and welcoming that they had no excuse not to try. I also wanted to make this work affordable to as many women as possible, while giving others the ability to find the freedom that I have found.

I re-designed my program specifically for a retreat this time, instead of one-on-one work, incorporating additional resources and experiences to help make the experience unforgettable - beginning with the astrology that was supportive of transformation, freedom, and expansion.

I also intentionally chose the location of Sedona to encourage a dramatic energetic shift and release.

I held the space for the right group of women to show-up, and to trust me, in order to reveal their inner mysteries and workings. Once on the land, I activated a willingness to deepen everyone’s courage, awareness and understanding around how to re-negotiate and heal their traumas, rather than continuing to relive them.

Our Friday afternoon vortex tour guide, Dana, brought tears to our eyes with his knowledge, respect, and wisdom for this earth. His teachings were many and mirrored what I spoke of earlier in the day. We could not help but feel immense appreciation for his spirit and ability to shepard us through our walk together - the timing was unbelievable. Like an anchor, Dana embodied the divine masculine for the work we were doing. He showed up when many needed an example of the embodied divine masculine, showing us us the confidence, self-assuredness, and strong boundaries to help improve our self clarity and the ability to be objective during our weekend experience. He taught us to slow down and trust ourselves.

In addition, visiting Cathedral Rock vortex with Dana helped us to release our suffering into the gentle embrace of her divine energy, while the waters of Oak Creek cleansed our worries, fears and concerns as they rushed downstream. We left the entire experience feeling lighter and brighter, and drove home with the most magical pink and purple sunset contrasting the stunning orange and red rocks surrounding us.

The sound healing at Saturday’s sunset was also transformative, the vibration dancing within our energetic fields, removing stuck energy from an attendee with Restless Leg Syndrome, and dramatically shifting the energy of a women who had been contemplating suicide. The changes were lasting and effective - creating smiles all around the circle. We set intention for what we wanted to receive, and were given beautiful crystals to support our entire healing experience.

The Cacao and Blue Lotus Tea ceremonies were both heart opening, and expansive, allowing us to visualize and create our lives moving forward.

Once ingesting and integrating all the material, practices, and tools, I watched as each woman learned how to perceive and process their lives in new and empowering ways. Each woman’s face changed, relaxed, softened. This work shifted how they spoke to me and to one another, allowing protective barriers around their hearts to fall, and their protected vulnerability to arise.

It was an incredible experience - one that I am truly grateful for. The group of woman who attended was so sweet, and the way everything fell into place was truly magical. I loved how everyone received exactly what was needed throughout the weekend. It could not have been in more perfect timing! I sit here in awe, appreciation, respect, and honor of what I’ve been shown and been witness to.
