Riding the Dragon
A ceremonial plant medicine retreat for women ready to remember.
Answer the CallThere is an ancient force that has slept within women for generations.
Not lost. Not broken. Simply waiting.
Beneath centuries of conditioning, suppression, fear, and forgetting, the Dragon has remained dormant, resting quietly beneath the surface of our lives, waiting for the moment we are ready to remember her.
That moment is now.
This is not about becoming more
It is about removing everything that has obscured what has always been there.
Through ceremonial plant medicine, embodied movement, breath, sound, and energetic practices, we invite the Dragon to move through the body once again, not as an idea, but as a living current of life force.
As she awakens, she illuminates what has remained hidden. She asks us to meet our shadows with courage, not to battle them, but to transform them. She burns away illusion, fear, and old identities, creating space for a deeper truth to emerge.
The Dragon does not destroy who you are.
She reveals who you have always been.
Women ready to lead differently
This retreat is for women who feel called to reclaim the ancient power of their voice, to liberate their sexual energy as the sacred force of creation, and to embody a way of living that is rooted in freedom rather than fear.
It is for women who know they are here to lead, not through domination, but through embodied presence, devotion, wisdom, and love.
As we deepen into relationship with the Dragon, we begin to remember our kinship with the living world. The earth beneath our feet. The waters that teach us to flow. The winds that carry vision. The fire that transforms and creates.
We learn to listen. We learn to move with these living forces rather than against them.
A rite of passage, not a retreat itinerary
Each stage carries you further from the world you know, and closer to the woman who has been waiting.
