Women’s Wisdom Retreat Series: Sacred Embodiment

 

Our bodies are a continuum of place; in the

same way that our ancient languages, myths,

symbols, and customs arose from the voices,

gestures, features, and cycles of their surrounding

environment, we are born of and phrased by

the elements and rhythms of the Earth. The

impulse to follow these movements is our enduring

necessity – physically, mentally, emotionally, and

spiritually – to coregulate with the ecology we are

a part of. 

 

As the early Daoists stated, women possess a

heightened capacity to connect with and

draw on the vital energy of the natural world;

in fact, that which governs this life force – The

Dao, or “The Way” of the universe – is itself

equated with the feminine. To come into

coherence with this source, then, is to reclaim our

sacred embodiment; is to fully inhabit our range

of perception and the intuition, relationality,

interbeing, healing, and creative power that it holds.

 

You are invited to join us for a three-part retreat series on reorienting with and maintaining this resonance through somatic practices and the Daoist art of Qigong. As we explore movement alongside the myth and mysticism of women’s wisdom, you will rediscover embodiment as a sacred space of belonging.
