This Winter Solstice weekend retreat offers you the opportunity for rebirth through deep reading of poems by women—including ourselves. Interweaving the poems with exercises in writing and self-discovery and with ceremony honoring the Divine Feminine, we will nourish the five core aspects of women’s lives: mind, body,vision/manifestation, physical/abundance, social/emotion, passion/creativity, and intuition/spirituality.
