4 Days

This is a 4-day in-person women’s only retreat into the Heart of the Mother, held by 280 million year old canyons that cut right through the mountain at the Gates of Lodore. A once in a lifetime adventure.

Join us as we float down the river, waters deep, and allow Mother Nature to share her metaphoric lessons on life on this ancient land.

This is our 3rd annual trip to the Gates, and if you missed the last two, it’s only getting better with a few more surprise musicians and instruments to guide the musicality along the way.

Every woman’s life changed dramatically on last year’s trip, and if you are looking for guidance in life or to simply get away and breathe, let the River be your opportunity to release it all.

It’s happening this August 2024 and I cannot wait to see this group that gathers this year! It is no coincidence who you end up on the river with, and I am personally looking forward to life-long relationships made through this year’s trip.

Experience Mother Nature in all her glory as you explore how the same essence of Her femininity exists within you.

NO CURRICULUM. NO WORKSHEETS. NO LECTURES. JUST LET GO, AND FLOW.

Together we will hike, swim, sing, pray, dance and eat delicious food catered by our professional River Rafting Guides.

Other activities could include:

• Breathwork
• Goddess Yoga
• Sound Healing
• New Moon Ceremony
• Meditation & Guided Visualizations

Leave your makeup, programs, schedules, and agendas at home. It’s time to take it all off as we rest, relax, and receive the beauty of nature as we recognize our own inner beauty inside!
