Remember Collective
You have been called to remember
Remember aims to provide not just tools for growth but for transformation in remembering the roots of what it is to be woman. Remember is designed to be an experience connecting us to one of the most powerful gifts we can know - the deep self-trust that comes from our own intuitive remembering, listening to our senses, and our strength as women.
Spring renewal of love honors the emotions of our intuition, grounding us into our feminine strengths, cleansing us of toxins, and creating space to explore the waterways of being for healing, growing and guiding the world into reciprocity with nature's rhythms.
In spring we plant seeds to speak our truth no matter how small these truths may seem. This teaches us to plant the seeds for the greater truth, listening ever more closely to our intuitive soul body.
A sacred space
Centerville, Utah (private address will be shared upon confirmation of attendance)
The location is magical with easy access from the city and it is backed right up to a mountain with beautiful flowing waters, herbal gardens and has been used primarily for sacred work. It is the perfect setting and provides the best stage for transformation and rejuvenation.
It all starts with you...
By loving and caring for yourself
Our Renewal gathering is focused on planting the seeds of creation, renewing our self love, and cleansing to welcome the new.
Each woman will be presented with her own vial of cleansing tincture formulated specifically for this gathering to support her as she learns to move the waters ways of her body aka: THE LYMPH system. Our water ways carry our emotions, toxins, hormones and beliefs. Knowing how to speak to and move your lymph creates more then a youthful glow...you can reprogram your entire outlook on life and Re-Member it on a cellular level.
Upon completion of our ceremonious weekend each woman will be forever Re-membered with an opportunity immerse her experience in a HERBAL MILK BATH and photographed to never forget her majestic self.
Sensuality goes far beyond sexuality, it is vital for women to gather and learn how to nourish and nurture and play in all our senses. And work with our sensuality holistically to embody the creative life force within us.
Our promise
This three-day immersion will be like nothing you have experienced before and unlike any of our other retreats!
You will come away from the weekend with a deeper understanding of healing your body and love for yourself.
The workshops within the immersion are designed to take us through the understanding of our creative nature, witnessing the interconnectedness of our minds and bodies and aligning with the future we desire to call forth!
We will learn practices that support bridging ceremonies into our everyday life: Lymph work and self massage, chanting and mantras, nourishing bio-dynamic food, dance, and water rituals.
These practices are the art of the feminine. These tools help us to be more whole for ourselves, our families, and our community.

The gift of Intimacy~
This immersion is only open to 13 souls who feel called at this time to join. We find that a small container provides the opportunity for women to be vulnerable and open. We are excited to provide this type of close knit experience for those wanting to attend. By keeping the group intimate we naturally have more space for our hearts to truly open.
The Great Teacher
Plant Medicine Huachuma
One of the most important master plants is the San Pedro cactus. Wachuma is a key or bridge that can help a person to be more harmonious. The word "Wachuma" in the ancient language of the Quechua Indians literally means headless, that is, to remove rational thinking, remove the ego. It is divided into Waqcha - "in the absence" and Uma - "head". In the Andes, the plant-teacher Wachuma is said to heal bodily diseases and mental illnesses; which teaches and harmonizes a person.
The drink in the San Pedro ceremony is obtained from a cactus. Sometimes the San Pedro ceremony is compared to a seven-year meditation in Tibet. Indeed, Wachuma is one of the ways of knowing oneself through sincerity, unconditional love for oneself, through acceptance and understanding of oneself and the world that you create.
This ceremony often works with the energy of forgiveness. As Democritus once said: "After all, making mistakes is inevitable, but it is not easy to earn forgiveness from people" and it is even more difficult to accept and forgive yourself for the perfect mistakes.
Used to heal, cleanse, heal the heart, body and mind
San Pedro helps, opens, and shows at what point there was a failure or an injury; it helps to forgive, accept yourself and the people around you. There are no hallucinations or strong unpleasant bodily sensations in the ceremony. San Pedro is always an experience of love, sincerity, and joy. In the ceremony, work is done in the heart, where we feel, the temple of emotions.
Working with Musical Medicine
Music and movement provide opportunities to express and create what we feel. Music is a gift, a gift to be honored in its fullest, and with integrity. Our vision is to co-create and choreograph an experience that takes you on a journey within and with the source that guides the music and our experience with it.
Utilizing music for influence, activating our inner being, and all the other elements come into play. With life as ceremony we are inspired to move forward through teaching, learning, and excitement for life.
We are providing nurturing approaches to creating and healing through music and movement medicine, establishing healthy foundations for maintaining harmony in life.
