In our religious traditions-both eastern and western-the Feminine as a sacred presence has been largely missing. Without the presence of the Feminine, the life of the body, the value of intimate relationships, the wisdom of emotions and sexuality, and reverence for the natural world have been separated from the spiritual.

This split between the spiritual and the material has contributed to a world out of balance-nature ravaged, greed glorified, violence habituated. Our world needs women and men who are remembering and embodying the values of the Sacred Feminine as a potent, living force for healing and awakening our true potential as human beings.

In this retreat, held primarily in silence, we will explore mindful awareness practices of embodiment through sitting and movement meditation and creative expression. Lama Tsultrim will teach on some of the lost lineages of sacred sexuality and relationship and will introduce the Mandala of the Five Dakinis, a powerful practice for transforming afflictive emotions into wisdom and compassion.

Through these practices we are re-establishing lineages of awake embodiment. We discover as women that we can welcome all of who we are into our spiritual practice, healing and reclaiming what has been lost. We can begin to meet life with passionate intimacy!

All women are welcome!
