If we surrenderedto earth’s intelligence
we could rise up rooted, like trees.
~ Rilke
ROOTED is a five-day wilderness immersion for women who hear the clarion call to root more deeply than ever in Earth-based ways and wisdom, to gather up in collaboration and community, and strengthen our medicine for the way ahead as we shed false skins and distractions so we can more fully embody our powerful instincts, soul-based knowing and tend our vital belonging to Mystery, Life, and Kin.

SOURCING AND GATHERING
In the height of summer, we come together on sacred land as sisters to deepen into and celebrate Wild Ways, following the ancient feminine paths our ancestors/grandmothers walked and knew instinctively through their animal bodies, through listening and feeling, sensing and dreaming.
We come together to remember what is too important to forget.
Together, in communion with the sacred others, we step across shimmering thresholds that take us deep into the forest–into the inner and outer wildlands – to immerse in the art and acts of remembrance, bringing Earth Ways back so that we may reanimate and fully inhabit our own lives and our true place within the Great Web.
During this five-day immersion, we will be tending and amplifying what we already know in our bones and roots, and moving even further into the alluring, seductive enchantments of wild nature, Eros, and Mystery. Through ceremony and devotional practices, council, deep imagery journeys and long wanderings into the woods, we sink back into the roots of remembrance – intuitive remembrance in our body, heart, soul – remembering that we have always been in the dance.
We know it’s time to reclaim our essential part in the dance of Life.
Along the banks of Oracle Brook, we follow our roots down through the layers of Gaia, to the Rio Abajo Rio – the great river beneath the river of the world – the confluence of where our own soul stream meets Earth’s Dream.
Here, we are invited to fall back into the “heart of the world,” to dissolve and open to the Muse, to Mystery, to the mythic underworld, outside of time, free from the overculture’s pace and distractions, to access the voices of the sacred others, to allow ancient knowing to again enter our roots and transpire up through our whole being, so we can walk with precision and purpose.
We empty out habituated ideas and frames so we can open fully to what is dreaming through us and help midwife cultural rebirth.
By honing the skills we need to be women of the Earth and uncovering more of how we are made for these very times, we embody the profound fertility we carry as women in the dance of life. This nourishment fuels us so that we may “rise up rooted” to offer to the world our own unique inspirations and new stories.
Through refining, owning and celebrating our fierce and nurturing wild nature, we step more fully into the sacred responsibility we carry to collaborate and serve the Earth Community in these days of Great Turning.
The intention is for each woman to feel filled with inspiration and support, empowered to leave the immersive with practical tools and next steps to take into her life and into her community that emerge from both her own soul gifts and the collective wisdom.
We honor and anchor in the knowing we cannot and do not make this journey alone.

Dear Sister —
🗝 Do you hear the call from the Earth and the Ancestors to step more fully into your soul gifts, innate wisdom and essential place in the Web?
🗝 Do you feel the undeniable pull to listen to and follow a deeper set of instructions - to bring back to Life earth-based soulcentric ways and the heart, wisdoms from the depths?
🗝 Are you inside of a shedding, a death that is taking you deeper into uncharted terrain? Do you crave space to honor and work with this sacred death/rebirth cycle?
🗝 Do you know in your bones it’s time to go into the mountains with a like minded group of women in devotion to Earth - to listen to what it is we do not yet know - to envision, express and root into what is rising through and within us?
🗝 Are you hungry to shed the “false coats we’ve been given” and rekindle the deeper relational fluency you’re made of/for?
🗝 Do you consider yourself a midwife to these times of cultural rebirth and crave community in commitment to these ways?
If you answered yes to most of these questions, then we invite you to join us!
This program is created for women, guided by women.
We welcome all women to join us– cis, trans or otherwise – and nonbinary individuals who find their homes in women – and femme-centric spaces, particularly those called to be visionaries, space holders, leaders, healers and agents of cultural change.
