a one day women's retreat
ROOTED
...an embodied journey to cultivate a deeper connection to your self growth
Join Trista as we rest in the darkness and prepare to welcome in the upcoming winter energies. This one day women's retreat has been created to help you feel supported by a sacred group of soulful women and to offer a safe space to explore your connection to your mind, body, and spirit.
We turn to the North, the direction of the sun at its coldest (and darkest), sage knowing of the elders, winter time, and the element of Air. We thank you Sacred Mystery for how you are revealed through air, breath, and wind—that you blow wisdom through the winter-time air like a generational seed, that will become planted in the coming months of spring. We bow to the North in gratitude and honor for the cover and quiet of night, for the inspiration of dreams, and for the much-needed sacred rhythm of dormancy and dark.
