Spring Women's Retreat
Friday - Sunday
May 13 - 15
Optional pre-workshop activities Thursday, May 12
The Bridge Between Sacredness and Sexuality
What would it mean to bring passion and sensuality to your spiritual life? What would it mean to invite divinity to your sexual nature?
In the safety of this women's retreat, we explore the link between spirituality and sexuality. Whether or not we are currently sexually active, we are sensual beings exploring and responding to our own vital energies and the vital energies of others. When our sacredness and sexuality unite, we are able to merge the acts of giving and receiving on a path of expanding consciousness. By embracing our inner self, we access the energy of our desire and give it positive, life-affirming direction and expression.
Appropriate for single, married, divorce or widowed women of all backgrounds and traditions.
Patricia Stout, LCSW and Carolyn Burns, LMFT team up to create a safe, nurturing space to explore the depths and heights of our nature, which is both human and divine. Weekend activities include music, art, dance, breath, journaling, tai chi, yoga, and more!
