No. This retreat is about embracing the feminine and masculine energies in you that create a balanced and fulfilled life and it's about honoring yourself as a sacred expression of Spirit. We simply use the goddess archetypes as a framework to identify the qualities that create an ordinary sacred life. We have fun conversations, participate in engaging and delightful activities with soul-touching music in the background, and most importantly, we affirm our joy in being women!
Is the discussion about challenging religous institutions or male bashing?
Absolutely not. I honor your personal, individual journey, and I love men!
Is the workshop fun and fast-paced?
YES! It is full of a variety of activities that are simple and engaging.
What kind of women attend?
All ages ~ as young as 23 and as young as 71. And women from all religious backgrounds. All the women have had an open heart and mind and they have all had a wonderful sense of humor! We have a great time sharing laughter and tears, wise words, and fun stories.
"I am so grateful for the miracle of you, Mary. Your retreat was the push I needed to let go of my past and to move forward in the direction on my dream of pursuing my song writing and singing. Had it not been for you and the wisdom I gained at your retreat I would still be just dreaming. You made me believe in possibilities. In the last 4 months I have written and recorded eleven songs for my first CD which I hope to have available this fall. The Goddess/Spirit in me was AWAKENED, is now AWARE, and so very ALIVE. Thanks Mary!!" Shari from Fargo
