Women's Empowerment Retreat

The Women’s Empowerment Retreat is a reflective movement-based day that encourages women to move their bodies in a variety of ways and to identify, express, and reflect on their sensuality, as well as discuss the historical, cultural, political, and personal barriers to sensuality in a group of supportive women. You will do a mindful movement, reflect on it in a journal and then engage in small group discussions.  We are thrilled to invite you to unleash your inner power and transform your relationship with yourself to experience sexual freedom! Our knowledgeable instructors will lead you through exercises and discussions aimed at helping you experience a deeper connection between your mind and body.  We envision "woman" as a diverse social category that is not overdetermined by gender assignment at birth, race/ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, size, etc. If you identify as a woman or a femme person, this retreat is for you! All abilities and bodies welcome: no prior fitness experience is required and modifications will be provided to accommodate body needs. Schedule of Events: -Three Cycles of Movement: Mindfulness, Sensual, Pole Dance -Followed by private journal moments and small group discussions (sharing optional) of barriers to your body connection -Yoga  -Food, drink, and connection -GOODIE BAGS! Details: Please wear clothes you feel comfortable moving in (we recommend wearing pants and socks) and bring a water bottle. We will provide yoga mats, chairs, and poles to dance on as well as journals and pens for self-reflection and a fun goody bag! Finger food and drinks are provided at the end of the event.
