The Gifts of the 7 Mothers
Immersive Retreat
Grace ~ Creation ~ Power ~ Love ~ Wisdom ~ Beauty ~ Freedom
September 20~28
Melissa Wasi, Sacred Valley, Peru
A transformative journey into 7 Qualities of the Divine Feminine through Myth, Archetype, Shadow and Ritual
The Retreat
The Gifts of the 7 Mothers retreat is for all people who feel called into a deeper awakening, connection, and embodiment of the Divine Feminine.
It is for those who sense that there is mething within them waiting to be remembered, reclaimed, transformed, or more fully expressed. It is for those ready to enter into a deeper relationship with the Great Mother as a source of wisdom, guidance, provision, purification and inspiration.
When we orient ourselves within and toward Her, we open ourselves to receive the abundance of Her Gifts: Grace, Creation, Power, Love, Wisdom, Beauty, and Freedom.
Through the teachings, practices, initiations, and activations offered throughout this retreat, you will be immersed in an experiential journey of these 7 Gifts, not simply as archetypes, but as living Qualities that can come alive within your own Being.
You will be invited to explore where Her Qualities are already active within you, where they may have been forgotten or diminished, where your shadows around them lie, and what becomes possible when you consciously cultivate and embody these Gifts.
The Great Mother does not ask us to become anything other than ourselves…Ultimately, you will depart with a deeper sense of who you are, what you carry, and how you are called to live and express yourself in the world, walking in conscious relationship with the Divine Feminine.
