Let Go and Open to Receive – A Woman’s Circle of Trust® Retreat – Replenishing Heart, Mind, Body and Spirit

This Circle of Trust® Retreat is a time for women to gather together, in both solitude and community, to explore what it means to both let go of what they no longer need to carry and receive what it is we deeply need to sustain us and help us thrive.

Something new, replenishing, and sacred is possible when women gather together in a Circle of Trust®.

How do we make room for what we feel and long for? What might happen if we let go and open to receive? What might happen if we do this together?

We can hear ourselves and each other with more spaciousness. Our bodies can rest and renew. We reconnect with our ancestors. Hearts begin to heal. Our spirits have greater capacity for joy, creativity, and freedom. And we give each other and ourselves encouragement to receive.

This retreat is for you if you want to explore:

  • Reconnecting with body, heart, soul and creative expression
  • Listening and responding to our inner knowing
  • Being in trustworthy, supportive community with women
  • Learning new contemplative and embodiment practices to take with you into your daily life

In this retreat, you will also experience the Clearness Committee. This deep discernment process is a way to be supported in attending to your own inner wisdom. In this retreat the Clearness Committee will serve to support us in our letting go and receiving.

If you feel a longing to spend some time in this way, please consider joining us in the beautiful Sonoran Desert of Arizona engaging in activities, practices and rituals that support our capacity to let go and receive what we need. We are wholeheartedly committed to creating a welcoming retreat for women from diverse spiritual paths, cultures, races, ages, sexual orientations and physical abilities.
