We are the light and the darkness.

We are creation and destruction.

We are more powerful than we know.

We come together and remember.

Women Rising is for all women, of all ages and backgrounds.

Join us as we gather to celebrate the Divine Feminine wisdom that lives in our bodies, hearts and spirits. With playfulness, we explore womanhood through nature connection, womb and voice work, movement, breath, and allies from the plant and fungi kingdoms. Nestled in nature and supported by the elements, we make space to remember and reconnect.

“one of the best things I have ever done, that could easily replace months of therapy hours”

The program

Psilocybin Ceremony

You will be guided on a psychedelic journey consisting of a ceremonial high dose of psilocybin. We will offer other sacred plant medicines such as rapé (tobacco) & cacao.
Movement & Meditation

Connect with your body, your self and with nature through:
-Morning movement practice
-Meditative nature walks
-Evening dance or yoga nidra
Breathwork

Learn to harness the power of your breath for healing and growth. You will be guided through daily pranayama breath practices alongside one deeper circular breathing session that will allow you to access expanded states of consciousness.
Women's Circles & Voice Work

Being together in circle provides a powerful container for self-enquiry and healing. We will gather for sharing circles, singing circles, and authentic relating practices to activate our voices and empower one another.
Preparation & Integration

Our three-month preparation & integration program includes two group preparatory calls before the retreat, and two group integration calls after the retreat, as well as continued integration support to enable deep transformation.
Soul Kitchen

Nutritious food lays the foundation for a transformative retreat. Enjoy lovingly prepared macrobiotic vegetarian meals, intentionally made with locally sourced organic ingredients to nourish the body and soul.
