The Medicine Within Women's Retreat

About this experience

The Medicine Within is a sacred Equinox gathering designed for women who are ready to slow down, return to their center, and remember the unique medicine they carry within them. Held at the threshold of seasonal balance—when day and night meet in equal rhythm—this retreat invites participants into a liminal space of reflection, realignment, and deep inner listening. Within the sanctuary of Rose Waters, women are guided through a carefully held container of ceremony, embodiment, and integration practices that support the unfolding of personal truth. The Equinox becomes both mirror and teacher, inviting each woman to explore the balance within herself: the seen and unseen, the doing and being, the outer expression and inner knowing. The Medicine Within is rooted in the understanding that each woman carries a distinct inner medicine—an expression of essence, purpose, and embodied wisdom that is uniquely hers to offer the world. Rather than prescribing a universal path, this retreat creates space for deep personal discovery through guided experiences, somatic practices, and reflective inquiry. What Participants Will Experience ✧ Equinox Opening Ceremony — a grounding ritual to mark the transition into sacred time, setting intentions and invoking balance, clarity, and inner alignment. ✧ Inner Medicine Exploration — facilitated inquiry and reflective practices designed to help participants identify their unique gifts, patterns, and soul expression. ✧ Somatic Embodiment Practices — gentle movement, breathwork, and body-based awareness practices that support regulation, presence, and deeper connection to inner knowing. ✧ Guided Reflective Circles — group sharing spaces that foster witnessing, connection, and the articulation of lived truth in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. ✧ Restorative Space for Integration — unstructured time for rest, solitude, reflection, and nervous system restoration—honoring that integration often happens in stillness. ✧ Closing Equinox Ritual — a collective closing ceremony that honors what has been revealed, released, and reclaimed, anchoring each woman's unique medicine into her lived path. Price: $2,900 shared room / $3,400 private room / $3,600 private room with private bath (per person)
