Details of this retreat
Awakening the Goddess Within is a sacred 3-day retreat held at the serene and wild Aluna Sanctuary in Potter Valley, CA. Surrounded by trees, wildlife, and open skies. This gathering offers women a rare opportunity to reconnect with their inner wisdom, soften into sisterhood, and awaken the power of the Divine Feminine within.
Through guided meditations, cacao and fire ceremonies, goddess embodiment practices, and a heart-opening MDMA ceremony, we will open ourselves to healing, truth, and deep connection, held in a safe and loving container by three experienced facilitators and mothers.
Held during the powerful Lionsgate Portal (8/8), this retreat is aligned with cosmic energies that support transformation, clarity, and rebirth. You’ll enjoy nourishing organic meals, quiet space to rest or explore the land, and the magic of gathering in authentic, sacred community.
Come as you are. Leave as who you were born to be.
