Reclaim Your Feminine Power and Unleash Your Radiant Magic

Are you a woman craving full sensual expression and the freedom to embody your authentic self? Have you felt held back by society's limiting rules around feminine power? Are you ready to heal, awaken, and step into your sacred magic?

This big bold beautiful life that we live as women is full spectrum.  In an ideal world, we are full of magic, radiance, joy, abundance and in a flow state with life and the universe.

 

And...we live in this earth plane which is also full of pain and suffering.  Take one look at what is happening in the world and it's enough to crush your very soul.

 

As women, as feelers, we can be consumed by the pain of the world.  We can get caught up in our head.  In daily tasks.  In taking care of others.  In patterns that we want to clear but keep repeating.  It can be endless, daunting and sap our power and strength. 

It takes enormous courage to be with the full range of feelings.  And yet...that is the true path to freedom through the erotic.  You can't selectively numb.  In order to expand to the greatest heights of ecstasy, we have to be willing to equally feel the full range of our womanhood.  It's a paradox.  

 

The path of Tantra is one of acceptance.

The path of Tantra explores duality.

A woman that can do this with grace and her full embodiment is unstoppable.

 

Metamorphosis: In the life cycle of the butterfly, there are four stages: Egg (the seeding of self or idea), Caterpillar (the feeding and nurturance of self or idea. Building resources), Chrysalis (breakdown to re-form.  Transformation), Butterfly (Fertility, Expression of self or idea).

 

Metamorphosis: This is the theme for this year's festival.  Whatever stage you are at in your spiral of life, we are here to grow and expand together in community.

 

 

This retreat isn't about being someone you're not. It's about rediscovering the sensual, powerful erotic within and deeply embracing the next evolution of you. 

 

Come as you are. Leave as your most embodied, radiant self.

I signed up for Radiant Ecstasy with the desire to tap into my feminine side, knowing that it would help me to create and conceive (which was a goal of mine last year). By the time the retreat rolled around I was newly pregnant, 5 weeks to be exact! My intention changed to release the ancestral traumas in my lineage, specifically related to sexual trauma and toxic masculinity within my family. Between my intention and this sacred container, I was able to work on releasing those traumas to the point where I physically purged and had a small fever and joint pain in my hips. The entire weekend was impactful and empowering, and I know I have just hit the tip of the iceberg; I cannot wait to attend again this year!
