The power of women coming together to listen to one another, share in one another’s stories and to hold sensitively that which is sacred, creative and changing within them, has been a long honored tradition. Join other women on the Waking-Up path for this unique retreat weekend opportunity to expand your consciousness, ground and nurture our body, tend to your heart, and reconnect with your true spirit callings.
The Women’s Waking-Up weekend invites you to come and creatively explore yourself through personal and group interactive processes, ceremony, ritual, music, self inquiry, yoga, meditation and more. Women are Waking Up everywhere to their whole selves and in the context of conscious community, aliveness, wholeness & awakeningness can only flourish and be born in abundance.
Women from past retreats have gone on to form the Women’s Circle that continue to meet semi-regularly and the communities that develop are rich, nourishing, and support women through their life passages, challenges, personal and professional growth unfolding. Women from past retreats have desired a new retreat each year to deepen and grow the evolving work unfolding.

What it’s like to participate in the Women’s Waking Up Retreat
“It’s been 9 months since the Women’s Waking Up Retreat and I am still basking in the restorative and healing effects of the power of the feminine. Being in the presence of some amazing women who all shared the same vision, enthusiasm and openness to also explore, was nothing less than transformative. The gentle flow of the weekend and the beautiful location were just what I needed to escape the busy working-mother pace I was so used to. Joanna so carefully and thoughtfully weaved a myriad of activities, rituals and ceremonies that drew me in, mesmerized me and challenged me to tap into parts of myself that had been left dusty, dormant and undiscovered. I left the retreat with more aliveness, more self-awareness and a greater sense of motivation that is still being fueled by these wonderful women! Joanna has such a gift for showing us how to listen to the voice within, how to see with a new perspective, and most importantly she encourages us to accept and love ourselves for who we are — just as we are. I feel so blessed to be a part of this journey of waking women.” —Leah Prahm
“What an invaluable investment of my time and energy! I’m so grateful to Joanna for offering this retreat – I had been hungry for an opportunity to focus on my soul’s work and commune with other like-minded women without having to go to a far off land to accomplish such a task. These three days of inspiring, challenging, and rejuvenating exercises and ceremonies brought some of my deepest held longings and yearnings to the surface. The process of sharing such sacred parts of myself with other women created a momentum in me that is still going strong a year later as I continue to discover new ways to be at peace. The connections I made with the other women in the retreat have born a web of supportive sisterhood that only grows stronger with each passing day. Joanna provides a safe, sacred space for incredible transformations to occur, and what’s more, she offers steady, unwavering support, topics, and ruminations that encourage the awakening process to continue….I wish such an experience for all women on the planet.” – Julia Francis
