Staying Close to Beauty

Join Meghan Dwyer for a mid-spring women’s retreat devoted to the energy of Taurus and the celebration of Beltane—two invitations to slow down, attune to the rhythms of Mother Nature, and remember that beauty can be an antidote to these troubling times.
Throughout the weekend, we will explore why awakening the Divine Feminine—and gathering intentionally with women in circle and ceremony—feels so essential right now. We will be reminded that healing the body also means expanding our capacity for pleasure, and that caring for the Earth begins with deepening our spiritual relationship with her and offering our deepest praise.
Feminine spirituality draws us inward and downward: into the body, where pleasure and creativity are boundless; and into the Earth, where deep power and sensual delight are always available to us.
Set in the oldest mountain range in the world, the Appalachians Mountains, of which the Poconos are part, and inspired by the spiritual traditions of the Himalayans, this retreat invites us to witness the beauty of the Earth through the senses, elemental connection, and generous time outdoors. We will also create beauty through the body with yoga, intuitive movement, music, dance, song, myth, storytelling, circle, and ceremony.
Expect to leave feeling more alive, more connected, and more rooted in beauty.

This retreat is for you if you:

are feeling disconnected from your body and soul
feel stuck or creatively depleted, and long for deeper connection with women
desire time and space to further explore the path of the divine feminine in an embodied and collective way
wonder where you belong, and feel overwhelmed and brokenhearted by the state of the world
or simply want to revel in the aliveness of mid-spring and notice what may be blossoming within you and around you

Retreat weekend includes, but is not limited to:

• Daily yoga, movement, and meditative practices that are gentle, slow, and accessible
• Ample time outdoors, including group walks
• Despacho Ceremony and Women’s Circle
• Hands-on, creative Earth-based practices
