coalesced; coalescing
1: to grow together or into one body
2: to unite so as to form community, to become whole
3: to arise from the combination of distinct elements
commune with the elements within you & around you
allow the rhythms of your body, mind, & heart to emerge & be nourished by coming into contact with the earth, the fire, the air, & the clear pristine water of northern Michigan
gather together in a ceremony that elicits the most natural kind of harmony: one that respects your inherent duality, & creates space to remember how each piece of you helps effortlessly coalesce your holy wholeness
join us in a weekend of ceremonial celebration honor our bodies, return to the natural flow of your own cycle through touch, play, dance, ritual, and togetherness
together we will drop in deeply in order to tend to our need of being in relation with ourselves, our bodies, our sisters, & our Great Mother Earth
our intention in the creation of coalesce is to offer a space in which you are fully empowered to receive
To receive the gifts of community, nourishing food, movement, stillness, silence, self expression, the space to shed tears, to receive whatever it is that you need during this time that is sacred for you in a container that holds it all and will not ask of you of anything in return except to just be fully you
we’ll stay together on 3 acres of beautiful land nestled on the shore of a pristine lake, provide you with organic, locally sourced meals prepared each day, and be fully present together in working with the spirit of plants, elemental rituals, moving meditation, connection to the goddess, in-depth embodiment practice, sacred witnessing, gentle touch, explorations of fear, love, and the essence of divinity within duality
in sisterhood we dance together to remember just exactly how we belong
there is no expansion without the inevitable contraction, we are meant to be it all
