Lion's Gate · August 8, 2026
A powerful gathering for women ready to remember who they are
There is a side of you that has never forgotten herself. She moves when she wants to move, rests when she wants to rest. She laughs without apology, grieves without shame, and belongs to no one's story but her own.
On the potent threshold of Lion's Gate, we gather beneath hickories, birches, and amongst the ferns to reconnect to her, together. Honoring Your Wild Self is a day of immersive experience that weaves the playful with the sacred, stillness with motion, deep self-inquiry with the warmth of community. We will practice gently setting down any expectations we carry (the ones handed to us by society, family, ourselves) and explore what it feels like to simply be.
This is a space to open your heart, return to joy and whimsy, and be held by a circle of women who are doing the same. Whether you arrive tender or bold, uncertain or ready, you are welcome exactly as you are.
We'll be sitting with questions like:
What would it be like to feel safe to be yourself?
What would it be like to feel truly free?
What would it feel like to be held safely in a community of other women?
The evening is designed to stir your soul and re-activate the parts of you that you thought were lost— gently, joyfully, and at your own pace.
Here's what's woven in:
Meditation: Settle in and arrive fully
Reflection: Guided Journaling & self-inquiry
Dinner: Home-cooked nourishment shared in community
Fire ritual: Release what no longer serves
Dance: Guided & free movement, no experience needed
Community: Connection with, honoring, & tending to other women
Aside from the above deliciousness, your ticket fee also includes a few surprises to delight & inspire. Come as you are. You will leave feeling like a new person, but you will really leave more yourself.
