May
Events
As May approaches, Earth Day and the
Taurus new moon invites a conscious appreciation and rededication
to what holds authentic value in our lives. One of the most
powerful ways to remain strong in challenging times is to
stay connected to those we love and to stay centered in
our hearts. Please join our Everyday Medicine Woman community
in honoring and sharing the powerful elixir of Mother love
that exists within and around us. Feel free to browse our
upcoming events as we burst out of our winter cocoons to
enjoy the glorious spring. For more information on any of
these programs, please visit our website at everydaymedicinewoman.com

Annual Everyday
Medicine Woman Gathering
Growing Roots in Shifting Soil: Grounding the
Feminine Divine in Our Everyday Lives, Shambhala Mountain
Center, Red Feather Lakes, Colorado
October 1 – 5th
In a rapidly changing world, how do you find a center? At
a time when the old paradigms are dissolving, how do you
turn your dreams and visions into reality? How do we, as
women, now stand in our authentic truth?
These are just a few of
the questions that will be explored during our annual retreat,
“Growing Roots in Shifting Soil: Grounding the Feminine
Divine in Our Everyday Lives,”. Whether your first
or tenth time celebrating the goddess within, we will weave
our energies and intentions of like-hearted sisters dedicated
to spiritual transformation in a safe and nurturing environment.
We will be tapping into ancient earth-honoring practices,
divine feminine wisdom, and our own female lineage to clear
our old patterns, embody a new feminine power and bring
this wisdom back into our everyday lives. Program includes
journeys, drumming, dancing, initiatory ceremonies as well
as personal time for meditation, relaxation, hiking and
daily yoga classes designed to support each day’s
vibrational theme.
We were guided to this
new location because of the unique combination of natural
beauty, spirit allies, wisdom teachings and phenomenal power
of the mountains available to support the manifestation
of a new feminine warrior archetype. Together we can access
understandings of open hearted personal strength and optimistic
attitudes that embrace change while restoring a sense of
focused faith. Please join us for this amazing journey to
deepen our connection to the universal divine feminine wisdom
teachings within each of us.
