A Woman’s Rite Retreat – Book Online – 4Pillars4Health EcoSpace

Allow Your Inner Medicine Woman to Fully Emerge!

As Women who hold ourselves as divine expressions of creative power and beauty, we gather in a good way to celebrate, play, restore, learn, expand and support.

A Woman’s Rite Retreat is a unique opportunity to explore in depth both the ancient and contemporary teachings of the sacred feminine.

The essence of these teachings are found throughout all cultures, traditions and time.

The common thread is that these are the teachings of and for women.

A Woman’s Rite Retreat offers the opportunity to engage in ritual, sharing, ceremony, revitalization, knowledge, play and authentic expression.

We will open our hearts, our minds and our inner eye and we will truly see one another; allowing each woman to see herself as the Sacred Medicine that she is and that she carries.

As our collective sight expands in power, focus and appreciation, your personal Medicine will reveal itself in ways previously unknown to you.

You will walk as your Medicine in confidence, clarity and joy.

5 TRANSFORMATIONS I WANT WOMEN TO RECEIVE THROUGH MY MEDICINE

Dianné Jean Aldrich: Your Medicine Keeper:

To intimately know their own Medicine and Power and how to wield it for good.
To deeply comprehend and embody their responsibility as Women and as Water Carriers; to take full responsibility for their feminine power and sexuality.
To carry a recognition of the masculine and of their interdependence with men; to carry a profound respect for the Men in their lives as partners, sons, fathers, uncles, grandfathers, friends, teachers.
To nurture the children in their lives with healthy sacred space as they grow, learn, question, fall down, get up, evolve and then take their place within the sacred circle of life as compassionate, loving and awakened leaders of their generation.
To remember that the essence of all spiritual paths is the same; to practice the three keys of self realization; 1. The Death of the Personality 2. The Rebirth of the Creative Life Force 3. The Ascension of the Soul.

Samantha Olson: Your Beauty Keeper:

Inspiration to explore their creative power
Inner knowing of the profound Beauty of their unique voice
A curiosity/connection to dance with Spirit
Attention to detail
To remember their deep connection with the Great Mystery

Danielle Jefko: Your Door Keeper:

May all beings feel loved and accepted when in space with me.
May all beings feel safe to express their hearts and whole selves when in space with me.
May all beings feel peaceful and recharged when in space with me.
May all beings feel empowered to be strong in themselves and their bodies and in their spirits after being in space with me.
May all beings discover Spirit when in space with me.

Carolyn Carter: Your Fire Keeper:

The transformation for the individual to come home to themselves; Personal Truth/Authentic Self!
To have a Healing Being; Lighter/Light in their bodies and souls.
To see how it is when Powerful women Collaborate to be More than!!; To feel that Love and Support!
To bring my Energy of Truth, Love, Fun, Ease, Magic, and Flow to each Lodge – then others will know how to bring their own Medicine into the circle and then into their own lives!
Being Present to receive Magic and Flow.
