Details of this retreat
Something in you remembers who you were before you learned to carry it all.
You have spent years holding things together: for your work, your family, the people who lean on you. You have done the inner work, read the books, kept going. And still, something quiet in you is asking for more than maintenance. It is asking to come home.
You already know what needs to change. This immersion is for the woman at a crossroads. Not someone to be fixed, but someone to be recognized. We hold space without judgment for your story and your process, at your own pace, in a circle small enough that you are never a face in a crowd.
Psilocybin, held with reverence
Psilocybin, the Connector, softens the walls we build to survive and lets us meet ourselves with honesty and tenderness. But the medicine is only part of the work. Change is lived through the body, not only understood in the mind. That is why every ceremony here is wrapped in trauma-informed, somatic support, from the first breath to the last.
Ceremony One: a gentle opening, building trust with the medicine and the circle.
Ceremony Two: the signature 5am sunrise journey, accompanied by sound healing therapy.
Ceremony Three: a closing ceremony held in community, with live music.
Each journey is shaped to where you are, with individual dosage consultations before each ceremony.
Why we begin at 5am
In the early-morning hours the world is quiet, the mind carries less noise from the day, and the threshold between waking and dreaming feels thinnest. We meet the medicine there, as the sun rises. Crystal bowls, drums, gongs, and chimes accompany the journey and guide you gently back.
Held in a circle of women
This circle was built around the safety Kimberly once needed herself: a women-only container rooted in empowerment through self-discovery and community. The work honors the lifecycles a woman moves through. There is nothing to perform and no one to convince. Only women, holding women, in a space made for the truth.
From root to crown: the elemental arc
The week moves through the body in sequence. Each pair of days works with an element and an energy center, pairing earth wisdom with somatic resourcing.
Days 1 and 2, Earth and Water (root and sacral): grounding, safety, and self-nourishment. Recognizing and releasing survival patterns; meeting sadness, grief, and shame; reawakening creative flow, the sensual body, and the feminine essence.
Days 3 and 4, Fire and Air (solar plexus and heart): personal power and sacred rage. Stoking the fire within, reclaiming the full essence of the heart, and meeting purpose with self-compassion.
Days 5 and 6, Ether and Light (throat and third eye): voice activation and discernment, truth from lies. Unlocking intuition, and a roadmap for what you are learning to embody.
Days 7 and 8, Cosmic (crown and integration): connection to the sacred, altar-building and living prayer, embodied spirituality, and integration as self-honor.
Prepare. Immerse. Integrate.
Most retreats focus on the ceremony alone. Lasting change needs a complete arc: the days before and the months after matter as much as the ceremony itself.
Prepare: three personal sessions before you arrive, a thorough intake of your history, intentions set through the lens of somatic psychology, and an online orientation with your circle, so you arrive already held.
Immerse: seven nights in an intimate, women-only container. A cacao ceremony, three psilocybin journeys, daily energy-center practices, breathwork, voice activation, art therapy, and meals from our private chef.
Integrate: three months of personal integration work, a virtual group session, and integration guidebooks, plus a microdose workshop and protocol to carry the practice home.
