Roses + Honey Retreat

Retreat into the oldest mountains in the world and immerse yourself in four days of the magic of sacred women’s circle.

March 27-30 2025 in Hot Springs, NC

• Herbal Medicine making
  With Roses + Honey of course! You will make your own custom oxymel (an herbal concoction in a base of Raw Local Honey and ACV) to take home and nourish your path ahead - charged and blessed overnight by the new moon. We will have rose petals and 8 additional plants to choose from!
  
  
• Crafting with Clay
  Working with a natural air-dry clay, I will share about sculpting vulvas and vessels, but you get to create what you wish!
  
  
• Song Circles
  For two of our nights, we will gather around the fire for ritual singing. Many ancient traditions have used extended chants/songs to induce states of oneness, healing, and connection with the Divine. We will enter the portal of simple repeatable songs and see what happens!
  
  
• Prayer Dances
  For two of our mornings, we will enter an intuitive practice to embody and express our prayers and medicine through a movement journey set to a curated soundtrack, with prompts to guide amplified energy medicine.
  
  
• Temple of the Rose
  A three-hour immersive Temple and Sensorium to be with the living wisdom and essence of the Rose (with multiple forms of rose medicine to imbibe and sit with). Whether you are called to feel the softness of a rose drawn across your skin to experience her pleasure and ignite your senses, to sit at the altar of her heart-healing and grief-softening, or to drink in the ancient wisdom of Priestess mysteries… Rose will have something unique just for you.
  
  
• Breathwork Soul Journey
  A single potent soul journey with an activated three-part breath allowing us to access deepened and altered states of consciousness - connecting us with our most expansive wisdom. This breath often reveals big inner alchemy, insights, past-life visions, visits with allies in the unseen, and unmatched clarity.
  
  
• Immersion-long intentional space
  We step in to our sacred container on Thursday at 2:30p.m. and we will re-emerge on Sunday at 2:00p.m. We are invited to honor all moments as sacred and deepen into Presence with one another. All experiences are optional. And, this experience is curated intentionally as an immersion - each experience building upon the others.

  In my eighth year of holding Women’s Sacred Circles & Retreats, one common thread organically unfolds that we sink deeply into and we always end up wanting more of… The delight of connection with oneself and other magical women, in a full-body in-the-senses, receiving-care-and-nourishment kind of way. It’s a holiest sacred space found only within, when we allow ourselves to drop all the external layers and feel ourselves… The delights of moving our bodies in the way they want to move, creating with our hands, singing and dancing, knowing we are safe to be ALL of who we BE, being truly seen and celebrated for our infinite radiant internal beauty and wisdom - held by a circle of women… the true Pleasure of being so Present that life and its simplicity feel ecstatically juicy to be with.

  This retreat offers a space to be immersed in Divine Feminine Wisdom and let magic emerge - rather than a retreat about fixing or healing something, or even wielding the power of inner alchemy. This space is intentionally curated to offer our souls space to breathe and experience ease - rather than to process challenges in a circle. Our focus in shared space will be upon calling in Soul-Nourishment and Nectar for the Heart.
