The energy of the August Sturgeon Moon is all about strength, resilience, and abundance.  It's a time to honor the hard work you've put in and celebrate your progress. This full moon encourages you to embrace change, release what no longer serves you, and prepare for the next phase of your journey.  That's exactly what we will be focusing on during the Wild Goddess Retreat.  

I have joined energies with Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Holistic Life Coach, and Women’s Empowerment Expert, Leanne Jamison to offer you an unforgettable weekend filled with adventure, celebration, sweet release, freedom, expression, and of course, relaxation.  

Co-created with Leanne Jamison of the Institute for Female Trailblazers. Featuring special guests Ash Fletcher of Wholesome Living, Kristin Cunningham of Salt & Sage Holistic Healing, and Chef Loomis of Divine Catering.   

“Who is She? She is your power, your feminine source. The Goddess. The great mystery. The web-weaver.  The first time, the twentieth time you may not recognize her. Or pretend not to hear. As she fills your body with ripples of terror and delight.
But when she calls you will know you’ve been called. Then it is up to you to decide if you will answer.”
― Lucy H. Pearce, Burning Woman 

Will you answer her call to join us under the light of the full moon?
