"The more challenging our world, the more we need our elders with us to share the lessons
they have learned, to lend us their problem-solving skills, and to enhance
our lives by imparting their unique gifts."
~ Angeles Arrien

Welcome Sister Mavens!

We have created this workshop in friendship. To gather women together who are moving through the second half of life. Mavens who are called to join in circle with sisters, mentors, spiritual doyennes, to shine a light on the wisdom of aging.

We are not here to fix you, you are beautiful
We are not here to bring you prosperity, you are enough
We are here to give you a space to call forth the wisdom inside of you that wants to burst forth and be heard.

We have created this circle to encourage women to embrace their decade of life, to find aging a gift of power rather than something to push against with the need to look, or feel, or be something we are not. With each decade we carry a new journey. With each decade we grow deeper into our wisdom, that is not negotiable for any one. That is our truth.

We are calling out to women who want to create a mavenship of love for aging that can steer each of us towards our passions and deep wisdom within.

Let us shine our light Doyenne's, the world needs us, we need you!

We are two Mavens on different points of the wheel of life, with intersecting visions on the magical alchemy of aging. We are here to share our gifts with you. During this three day retreat, we will be conferring about the spiritual energy of essential oils, gemstones and foods. We will be diving deep into the wisdom of the archetypes that shape and guide us, food choices as they not only build and sustain our physical bodies, but also our subtle bodies, the five elements and the 'Eight Gates of Wisdom'.

Our weekend will be full, yet refreshing and healing. To create the self-nourishing space for this retreat, we have limited the number of women to seven.
