In this day’s immersion open to women* we shall rest & descend into the composting season through the ancient Sumerian story of Inanna and Ereskigal, through mythic embodiment, empowerment, and deep connection through somatic experiences.  Guided and facilitated by Jackie Singer and Tracy Chipman.

THOUGH THIS EXPERIENCE, YOU WILL:  

– Descend into the sacred terrain of the Great Below.

– Open yourself to hear, feel, see & know what you are ready to hear, feel, see & know.

– Allow yourself to be playful.

– Risk being seen and heard in new ways.

– Truly rest into the soft animal of your body.

– Reclaim lost aspects of yourself.

– Open to the power within you

What gifts await you in the Great Below?

How might your soul be fed beholding and being held, by deep time story, in the sacred vessel of your body, in the circle of women, resting and descending together?

* This day retreat is open to adult women/femme identifying folks.
