​Nourishing the Deep Self: ​
A Women's Retreat ​

Arrive between 3 and 7 pm Thursday 3.6.25
Depart 2 pm Sunday 3.9.25    ​
With Rebecca Pottenger, Reiki Master, MFT
​The women's retreat is a safe and nurturing time to come home to yourself, relaxing into your own rhythms. As we cross the threshold of our current lives into a time of renewal, we nourish the deep roots of our wisdom, creativity, vitality, and power.
Friday
  • Arrival time as early as 3 pm allows for time to settle in, rest, explore the natural environment, and enjoy 6 pm dinner.
  • At 7 pm we begin by gathering in a circle for introductions and to create a safe and sacred space for our time together.
  • Through a collage practice we move into a process of discovering what is calling within us to be nurtured and embodied.
Saturday & Sunday 
  • After breakfast each day, we gather at 9 am.
  • Lunch break includes free time to take a nap, enjoy time in nature, or receive a Reiki treatment or tarot reading (included in your retreat fee).
  • Creative, expressive, and reflective processes are woven through our time together to connect us with the divine within, restoring our creativity, renewing our vitality, and empowering the voice of our authentic knowing. 
​Ecstatic Dance & Authentic Movement deepen us into the beauty of body and soul, discovering what within us seeks expression in our lives.
Mask-Making & Guided Meditation provide reflections of the inner self as we discover new creative potential and hidden wisdom and power.
​Prompted Free Writing helps us complete with and release what no longer supports us and discover new creative potential.
Practices with breath, drum, and vocal sounding help us to discover and free the voice of the soul. 
Dreamwork reveals new perspectives and possibilities—and how to grow them in your life.

Monday 
Includes breakfast and lunch.  We start with dream work, followed by a ritual of release and rebirth and identifying practical daily ways to continue to nurture yourself and your gifts as you move into and through the world.
