          “ReClaim Your Inner Wild Wise Woman”
                        Walking with Your Fire & Freedom
                                          A Weekend Retreat led by Florence Gaia, RN, M.Ed.

> What would it be like to feel the fullness of being a woman?                            
       > Do you feel stuck in your head too often, disconnected from messages                             from your body,  your authentic soul voice muffled,
                                                               carrying a barrel full of emotions?


Break free of being too domesticated, too much doing, not enough being. ReAwaken your wild, natural feminine essence, trusting your instincts & your authentic soul voice, sparking your truth, and devoting yourself to genuine self-nurturing, moving through the world with true aliveness & freedom, unapologetically you.

• HOW a TEAM OF ANIMAL SPIRIT ALLIES guides you back to your core truth and unlocks your own healing energy:
In a relaxed state, we call on Animal spirit allies to appear in our imagination - they represent our true energy in each chakra, whether wounded or strong, and unveil our deeper knowing or healing needed.  Journeying helps us form an active, self-accepting, caring relationship with ourselves.  We embark on an "inner healing dialogue" that opens a pathway to higher guidance and untapped wisdom. It is vivid, multisensory, and symbolic imagery bypassing the conscious mind’s limitations to address the root causes of emotional or physical pain and activate our natural self-healing energy.
• DRUMMING TOGETHER AROUND THE MOTHER DRUM: a simple steady shamanic beat, we create sacred space for those seeking harmony with Mother Earth and the living Spirit within each of us. The heartbeat guides us back into a meditative state for inner awakening, slowing down our restless mind so we can call on and reconnect with ancestral wisdom, and be in the stillness of our soul.
• 
SOMATIC HEALING MOVEMENT is a sacred return to inner wholeness, fall in love with the pleasure of moving, breathing, the joy of being in a body. The tingle of aliveness we can feel when we give our voice freedom to wail, sing, hum, and make sound, breathe expansively, or move to the music.  We reclaim our personal power, cultivate self-compassion, and align body, mind & heart while quieting the busy beta mind to hear our inner soul voice. Qi Dance, vocal expression, conscious breathwork all help release trapped trauma energy, chronic tension, and stress from the nervous system, fostering emotional calmness.  We rebuild a sense of safety being in a body.  
• FULL MOON One OVERNIGHT VISIONING SOLO: Sitting in stillness in the light of a full moon,  sleeping under the stars you are immersed in the living presence of Mother Earth, reconnecting with her ancestral wisdom.  Here you call for insight, guidance, support as you return to the primordial garden of your Soul, your original goodness.... and listen. When your monkey mind quiets, your emotions calm and your body rests, there's space to hear the whispers of your Soul's reassuring voice. Your higher guidance and insight already present come to the surface.
Limited Option to sleep in the lodge is available due to physical limitations, dorm-style $60 extra. You will have the evening hours before sunset to sit outside quietly to seek personal insight, spiritual direction, or strength.
Please request when registering.

This retreat is an opportunity to switch off the need to be productive, active all the time and instead be deeply self-reflective, resting body, mind & heart to be in sync with Nature's rhythms,  quietly grounding you as another living being in the great circle of life, related to all of Mother Earth's children .... FULLY ALIVE living your purpose!

All regeneration, healing, and renewal happen in the deepest place of peace. That’s why sleep, meditation, deep contemplation or prayer are so important. Our place of peace inside is sacred. It is our very essence, and also the essence of nature. When you go deeply within, it is not isolating, you are not an island. Rather, that is where we find connection—the unity consciousness that joins all of us in oneness. Our true purpose is to embody what comes from that essence, and the best place to find it is in stillness and silence.” ~ Hilary Nicholls

"I've been a transformational nurse coach for over 30 years. I was a hospital psychiatric nurse for 17 years - meaningful work but limited in treating a patient's distress with medication. I wanted to assist the whole person to go deeper where real healing and transformation takes place at a spiritual level.  My path led me to discover the healing powers of Transformational Breath™  and deep imagery shamaninc journeying for myself and my clients. It changed my life forever and it can change yours too."          ~ Florence Gaia, RN, M.Ed. ~
