2023 - Febrary Belonging Retreat for Women.jpg

a weekend of feminine nourishment and
encounters with our deepest ways of Knowing & 
Belonging

February 17, 18 & 19, 2023
Cedar Springs Lodge & Retreat Center
Skagit River Valley, Washington State

In this weekend we'll explore the Wheel of Wisdom's Archetypes of Belonging using Systemic Constellations, a healing modality that uses our bodies as instruments of subtle intelligence. Systemic or Family Constellations make visible the hidden dynamics of any living system—such as a family, organization, city, or even a forest—by accessing the field of consciousness governing that system.

 

I’ve repeatedly experienced how surfacing something hidden or including something that’s been rejected within a constellation has healing effects. For my theory about the legacy of belonging and how we will use constellations to experientially understand and shift our inherited sense of belonging, read my post here.

 

You’ll be staying in the Lodge at my current home, Cedar Springs, situated along Day Creek in the Skagit River Valley, about 90-minutes north of Seattle. I’ll be your host and facilitator of our formal gathering times, and we will each contribute our unique presence, gifts, and innate intelligence to the weekend experience.

While we will be working in the realm of the entire human family, each of our individual families is a microcosm or holographic component of that greater whole, and will therefore be reflected within and influenced by our work.

Although we will be a small group of people, the power of our consciousness is mighty. History shows that all shifts in consciousness begin with small groups of people. A single stone dropped in a body of water can generate vast concentric ripples across the whole.

Below you’ll find the details of my invitation. If you feel pulled toward this offer, I hope you will take the leap and join us—there are only a few spaces left!
