we retreat

“Wild women are an unexplainable spark of life. They ooze freedom and seek awareness, they belong to nobody but themselves yet give a piece of who they are to everyone they meet. If you have met one, hold on to her, she’ll allow you into her chaos but she’ll also show you her magic.“

A womxn’s* retreat

Friday, August 6 – Sunday, August 8, 2021
Salamander Camp near Santa Cruz, CA

the windows and doors are opening. fresh air is flooding our lungs. new life, new breath. it is a time to honor our innate inclination to fold into the intertwined community of life, of earth, of beings that we belong to. together, we will disinhibit the singular view of mother into the root system that she truly is.

we leave to retreat. we gather to pray, to learn, to settle. we nourish. we widen. we grow. we return to ourselves, to each other, to the earth.

this retreat is inspired by Jewish, ancestral wisdom, along with ancient eastern philosophy and lineage holders who remember and help us remember. we will be supported in communing together and thickening our narrative of self, initiation, and celebration.

what to expect:

• a rustic, immersive weekend experience with kindred community
• ritual, embodiment, learning
• relaxing, connecting, sharing, deepening
• delicious, wholesome nourishment
• yurts, tents, and forest bathing
• a place to rest, to be received, to be who you truly are
