About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Celebrate YOU, in all your forms @ Woman is Goddess Retreat. 


Embark on an extraordinary month-long experience designed for women in all stages of life seeking to embrace their innate power, wisdom, and beauty. This deeply immersive program combines ancient mythology with modern therapeutic practices to guide you into the heart of your divine essence.

Using the powerful Myth & Magic process, you will select a goddess from any culture or tradition and explore her rich story through guided art therapy, writing, movement, sound, and creative embodying exercises. As you uncover her gifts, you’ll also awaken her unique resonance within yourself, revealing the potent wisdom she has to offer you at this pivotal time of your life.

Your journey begins with three intimate online preparation sessions, where you’ll connect with a small circle of like-minded women, explore your goddess archetype, and lay the foundation for your transformation.

The program culminates in the transformational “WOMAN IS GODDESS” 4-day retreat at the serene SEED Lodge. Here, you will deepen your connection to your goddess through ritual, shamanic practices, and sacred sisterhood. The experience concludes with a shamanic goddess photoshoot, where you will step fully into your goddess self, embodying her essence in stunning, powerful imagery that will forever remind you of the magic you hold within.

This intimate gathering is limited to only 8 women, creating a safe and supportive container for authentic transformation.
Join us and step into your divine power.
The goddess within is calling—are you ready to answer?


Participants have described this journey as profoundly transformational—illuminating hidden aspects of themselves, igniting creative energy, awakening dormant power, and guiding them to rediscover and celebrate their true essence beyond societal expectations.

If you feel a spark of curiosity—or even a twinge of fear—know that this is your invitation. Transformation often begins where courage meets the unknown.

Guided by renowned shamanic photographer Marianne Larochelle and seasoned art therapist and depth psychotherapist Esther Kalaba, this program offers a one-of-a-kind alchemical process through the Myth & Magic method. Together, you’ll reconnect to the goddess archetype within, using the transformative tools of art, storytelling, movement, and photography in a supportive and nurturing space.

This immersive therapeutic experience is designed to help you access your inner wisdom and divine power, no matter your level of artistic experience. All that’s needed is your willingness to explore, play, support others, and open yourself to the beauty of this journey.

More than i could ask for
A beautiful winter weekend. The hearth, the kitchen was so abundant with Maria making clean, delicious dishes. Esther turned all that good energy into awareness with the full schedule of breath work and yoga. Somehow there was enough time to meet other guests, great encounters, in the sauna and on snow shoes. Highly recommended. Two hours from the GTA, and a total refresh

I finally found calm.
This retreat was the first time that I was able to truly calm the racing thoughts in my mind and connect to my body as a source of support and healing. I had no idea that there were so many different ways to breathe and how important it was for mental health. Esther is a very experienced teacher with many years of working in the field of mental health. The lodge is beautiful and truly peaceful. Thank you, I will be back.

Amazing Retreat
Esther was amazing! She taught me so much about myself and my breathing, was able to help me build a toolbox of breathing techniques to help me with my life.

The Seed Lodge was very clean. Food was fantastic. The entire atmosphere was very welcoming and made it feel like a home away from home.

She has a large property that provides you with lots of space to hike and enjoy the outdoors.

I had a wonderful time and would highly recommend it to anyone.
