Our daily schedule
The exact daily itinerary will emerge based on the Sisters present.
However, the overarching structure will be as follows:
~ Breakfast on Your Own ~
Morning Session
(10am-12noon)
- Dance! We begin by getting out of our minds and into our bodies.
- Ground, Center & Connect. A Short group meditation & sharing from the heart.

~ Lunch ~
Afternoon Session

~ Dinner ~
Evening
(7:00pm-8:30pm)
- Ceremonies, Activations & High Alchemy! Our evening sessions pull together the sharing and the teachings in the ancient way, through ceremonies to EMBODY our insights and intentions through Praxis (Praxis: “the process by which a theory, lesson, or skill is enacted, practiced, embodied, or realized.”)

Our Location
Our location is a beautifully restored farmhouse as well as my personal home & Temple space amidst the vast, Gila National Forest of Southwest New Mexico. We are at 6,000 ft. elevation with a warm-to-hot, sunny and dry climate.
Our gathering places include: the forest itself, outdoors on my personal property with shaded areas for meals, an outdoor ceremonial space and fire circle, the living and dining spaces at the Farmhouse, and my 16’ hand-made, Mongolian Yurt, the “Temple of the Mothers.”
The Temple itself is an eco-friendly sanctuary for meditative, quiet & environmentally honoring gatherings.
Arrival & Departure
Please aim to arrive between 4-5pm on August 23rd. Our Opening Ceremony begins at 5:30pm, followed by dinner.
Our Closing Ceremony will be co-created and held on the evening of August 27th.
NOTE: If you would like to arrange a 1:1 VIP add-on with me, please let me know. It would be a joy to go deeper with you through an astrological deep-dive, customized ceremonial work and more of this beautiful forest!

Priestess
I have been studying Goddess lore, facilitating ceremony, offering intuitive guidance, spiritual counsel, tarot & astrology readings for 39 years. My Initiation as a Priestess was in 1986 with my first Dianic Coven, Mother Spirit. My second initiation – or RE-Dedication – came in January, 2017 when I could no longer ignore my truth and my Sacred Calling as a Mentor and Guide for the next generation of feminine leaders.
I am also an Ordained Priestess of the Goddess with the Global Goddess Church and Ordained Minister with the Universal Life Church.
My “Official” Cred
I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Women’s Studies and Feminist Literary Criticism, and a Master’s Degree in Shamanic Intuitional Practices. I’m also a professionally certified Neurolinguistic Life Coach, Clinical Hypnotherapist, DreamSculpting® Practitioner and Timeline Trauma Release Coach.
If you know me personally, you also know that I have been a business mentor & marketing consultant for 10 years, a professional writer for more than 18 years, and am the #1 Amazon Best-Selling Author of the book, Spirit, Mind & Money.
How I Work with Women
Today I bring all of these transformational tools together in order to assist women in healing, clearing and actualising their Sacred Leadership potential. I do this through retreats, online group mentorship and 1:1 coaching.
