Imagine returning to a part of yourself — the Divine Feminine — that can restore balance and harmony within you and across your relationships. This transformative workshop weaves together social and political insight, energy- and earth-based practices, and embodiment exercises to support the release of fear, resentment, and pain, while opening space for intuition, surrender, and flow. The result is a deeper sense of wholeness and a path toward genuine healing through decolonizing wellness and relating more consciously to all living beings.
This workshop is open to people of all gender identities and expressions.
Social, political, and economic inequities between men and women are rooted in the patriarchal culture’s colonial devaluation of femininity. We absorb this conflict early in life, and it can live on in our emotional, perceptual, sensory, and physical selves. Yet femininity is not only for women and femmes; it is a spiritual energy and universal quality needed to restore balance for everyone. The Feminine Principle holds qualities such as allowing, intuition, patience, nurturing, connection, mother love, and the generative force of life itself.
During the workshop, you will experience:
This workshop offers a chance to look beyond the distortions of heteropatriarchy and discover something truer about ourselves, where our heart’s desires are not in conflict. Connecting with the Divine Feminine can serve as a balm and antidote, helping heal the resentment, hostility, and fear that divide us.
