Temples are gateways, portals to embodiment, feeling, pleasure, and home-coming; sacred spaces that welcome eros, sens*ality, a stripping bare (of body and soul), and awaken the fullness of your expression; innocence, play, and pleasure.
They are spaces for the feminine to gather and return to truth and ancient ways of millennia past, in service and devotion, to one another, the feminine, the earth, and to awaken eros through our body-prayers and rituals.
These sacred spaces used to form an important part of the ways of our culture and community. However they were lost to the rise of Christianity and Patriarchy.
I want every modern woman to have an experience of a “temple”… Where intimacy and worship is explored, friendships blossom and deepen, where platonic love grows, and where new connections are made through the opening of vulnerable hearts and bodies.
A remembering of these ancient-time Temple spaces, for the modern feminine, is one of my favourite things to do in my in person offerings.
I adore creating spaces for women to come together, meet, connect and express in deep intimacy. There, nothing is expected, nothing forced, only an invitation to return to the truth of who they are through practice, circle, ritual, and sensual embodiment.
The first time I sat in circle with women — not only was I absolutely shit scared to speak out loud in front of a group of women I’d barely met — but I was also in absolute awe of this primordial feeling of home coming that I’d never experienced before.
The feeling of being so deeply held and seen, to my core, by the feminine.
It was from that catalytic first experience on retreat that led me on this path… Doing the work I do now. It was an absolute life-changing experience.
One of the things I see in my work with women is often a lack of awareness that their own feminine energy is under-nourished or underdeveloped. Women are either armoured under burdensome shields of defensiveness… Or they are so over extended in their feminine energy, that they are absolutely depleted. Either way, they and we suffer.
The collective feminine frequency rises when women gather together & without it… Well, you can see the world we’re living in now.
There is nothing more healing — for yourself, for all of humanity, and for the planet — than women gathering with women.
So please, if you are feeling depleted, defensive, armoured, heavy, exhausted… You are not alone and, it doesn’t have to be like this. There is a space for you to be held and nurtured back to life. Return to the warm embrace of Sisterhood, this is where the healing happens.
“Sisterhood is the phenomenon that occurs when women quit seeing each other as mirrors, or reflections of themselves, and start seeing each other as one-of-a-kind works of art.
Sisterhood happens when women view each other as deep wells of support and inspiration — as teammates — instead of competitors.
Sisterhood happens between women who are secure enough to stop being afraid of each other; who do not feel that another woman’s different life choices are a judgement of her own choices.
Sisterhood happens when we become curious instead of defensive about our differences.
Sisterhood does not require the same beliefs or thoughts or political parties or churches. Peace is not about becoming the same; it’s about becoming okay with being different.
There is so much untapped power in sisterhood.”
– Glennon Doyle
Creating sisterhood is one of the main reasons I run my retreats. Bringing women together from all walks, all pockets of the world, all journeys of life.
Because true sisterhood — deep, authentic, real connection — is hard to find for most women, but on retreat it’s easy. It’s such a joy to witness, day 1 seeing guards drop, hearts opening, day 2 tears flow, hugs shared, day 3 everyone’s already in love with each other and no one wants to leave. The bonds fix fast and hold strong.
Sister, if you are deeply yearning to find your kin look no further. You’re so welcome to join me and step into the sisterhood we’re creating this summer.
