Wild Woman Samhain Retreat 2022
Cancelled
It's time again to gather your dreams, and be part of this 9th Annual Wild Woman Retreat at Crescent Moon Lodge in S. Oklahoma. Those of you who have experienced these retreats, know how special this place is, and we hold in our hearts all the wonderful and magical spaces we have created together.
Together we are growing a Collaborative Community of Dreamers, and Empowered Wild Women! We collaborate in creating a safe and sacred space. A place where our dreams reveal what is possible, and we support one another in taking Dream Inspired Action!
Women are invited to join this community of dreamers, and be welcomed as Wild Women.
In this Samhain Retreat, we gather at the cross quarter turn of the wheel and endings and beginnings. The astrologically exact time of Samhain, when the veil between the worlds is at it thinnest, and we are on the brink of a full lunar eclipse in Taurus. Together we will track into wild wilderness of dreaming with our ancestors as guide and tap into the healing stories of the land. We will awaken the wildness within and listen to the voices of the ancestors and the stories they have to share. We enter the ancestral realms through dreaming, and conscious group dream journeys guided by the drum.
Join us for Dream sharing, Dream journaling, Labyrinth walks, Wilderness Hikes, River blessings, Fire Ceremony, Drumming, Dancing, Ritual Healing, Journeying, Creative Exploration and Expression and Hot Tubbing.
Together we will honor the spirits of the land, and give voice to the ancestors among us. We will step onto the spiraling labyrinth path of the past, and walk in the footsteps of the ancestors, and return along the legacy path and feel what it is to become an ancestor, reflecting on what it is we may leave behind in our footsteps.

Crescent Moon Lodge The 5,000-square-foot lodge stands on 160 acres of wooded hills in the Kiamichi Wilderness outside of Rattan, Oklahoma, just across the Texas-Oklahoma border. Join us at this beautiful log cabin for our weekend away only a 3 hour drive from DFW and easily accessible from Tulsa or Oklahoma City, or Little Rock, Arkansas. Here we connect with the stars above, the land, the river, the magic mirror reflecting pond, a beautiful labyrinth which overlooks the pond, and 60 acres and 8 miles of trails to explore. Did I mention the outdoor hot tub??? |
We honor the Mother by greeting the river, we send sacred prayers and songs of healing for the waters. We release into the fire, all that holds us back, creating space for healing and dreaming into the path ahead.
We incubate dreams each night, and share them over coffee and during breakfast each morning. We explore conscious group dream journeys, guided by the drum, to open the dreamways in collaboration with the Ancestors and call upon them for healing and guidance.
We dream into the liminal spaces when the veils between the worlds are thin, and our departed loved ones may visit us in dreaming and waking realities. We create a sacred ancestral altar together to honor our ancestors and share their stories. We call upon the healing potentials that are ready to come through for each of us for transgenerational ancestral healing. Lineages that have left their stories imprinted in our blood and bones that have made our journey heavy from the trauma and turmoil of the world. We let go what no longer serves our journey into the sacred fire. We give thanks at the river of life, and travel into past and parallel lifetimes that intersect with this one, for the purpose of guidance and healing. We give presence to those who are gone from this Earth side life, and grieve their loss, yet are supported by experiences in dreaming and journeying with them on the Other side.
