The turning of the seasons is a dance of dark and light, rest and renewal, death and rebirth. In our two upcoming online Goddess retreats you will be supported to step out of the rush of daily life and listen more deeply to these Sacred rhythms.
Held in the sanctuary of retreat, we will honor both the descent into the fertile dark and the rising of the eternal flame, receiving Her gifts in every phase of the cycle.
You can choose to join one or both retreats. The Retreats will be recorded, so you can still participate even if you cannot be there live.

Kali Ma
Mother of Fertile Darkness

17:00 - 22:00 CEST
One day your body will surrender into the cosmic compost pile that creates and sustains us all, and Kali will, in Her breathtaking devotion to life, devour you.
Kali is not only physical death waiting for you there at the very end, She is the shedding of outgrown patterns and strategies, She is the relaxation of the grasping and the pushing, She is the One dancing fiercely in the ashes of all that no longer serves you. In Her ruthless kindness She feasts on the safety nets you cling to, just so you can know the inseparable totality you are made of.
She sets you free.
Kali strips away the veils of illusion and awakens us to our true nature. She is the cosmic womb, primordial love, She is home.
In Her presence we are freed from the weight of pretending. She welcomes every part of who we are, even what feels hidden or undone.. In Her embrace we find the gifts of the dark: slowing down, resting, surrendering, and letting go.
In this retreat we will, through meditation, mantra, temple practices, and ritual, honor the deeper slower rhythms, offer into the compost pile what no longer serves, and clear space for deeper connection, relaxation, and presence.

Hestia
Mother of Eternal Light
December 13, 2025
8 a.m. - 1 p.m. PST
11 a.m. - 4 p.m. EST
17:00 - 22:00 CET
Hestia is the Goddess of the hearth, the flame at the center of home and temple, and of our very own hearts.
She shows us what it means to live from our innermost temple, to be warmed, enlightened, nourished, and guided by a light that never wavers and never leaves, no matter how far we wander.
She is sanctuary within, an infinite source of warmth, clarity, and peace.
In this retreat, aligned with the feast of Santa Lucia, we will gather around the sacred hearth of the Goddess of Light and bow to the radiance that guides us. Through temple practices, meditation, ritual, and embodied prayer we will soften and make ourselves available so that Hestia’s luminous wisdom can take form through us, for the benefit of all.

Remembering the Goddess Within
“Through story, movement, and silence, I remembered parts of myself I had long forgotten. The retreat was a weaving of beauty and truth that will stay with me through the turning of the seasons.”
The Gift of the In-Between
“I didn’t know how much I needed to pause until I did. The practices opened a doorway into the fertile in-between, where my dreams could take root. I left feeling nourished, grounded, and mysteriously lighter.”

Healing in the Smallest Moments

Like generations of
women before us,
we gather in
sacred space
to remember
who we are
so that generations
after us
may remember, too.
