Rooted and Resilient
A Women’s Retreat for These Times
Presented by Sacred Fire
You can feel it: the world is changing, sometimes in painful and disorienting ways, and yet also in ways that invite new awareness. In the midst of uncertainty, many women are sensing a deeper call to stay open, grounded, and engaged.
If you have long cared about the Earth, the Sacred, and the way we live together, you may also know the strain of carrying that care alone. This retreat offers a place to set that burden down, reconnect with your strength, and remember how to meet the world with presence, purpose, and nourishment.
This fall, gather in sacred circle with women who understand the weight of these times and the longing for healing, contribution, and wholeness.
This retreat is for you if you...
This is a sanctuary, a remembering, and a homecoming. Come as you are, and leave feeling deeply rooted and fully alive.
Over 4 days and 3 nights, you’ll help create a nourishing space to reconnect with what matters most and to remember that you are not alone.
You’ll experience:
Plus:
Across many traditions, wisdom has long pointed to this moment as one when women are called to rise — to speak, act, and lead not despite our depth of feeling, but because of it.
You are not too much.
You are not too sensitive.
You are the medicine.
This retreat is not about fixing yourself. It is about remembering who you are. It is about grounding in the power of women’s collective wisdom, creative expression, and courageous leadership, then rising from that place to meet the world.
Please join us.
