Remember Collective
You have been called to remember
Re-member retreats are seasonal gatherings aligned with the rhythms of nature and created for women.
They are designed to ignite the fire of our intuition, ground us into our feminine strengths and to create space to inspire us to live in the ancient ways of being.
We do this for healing, growing and guiding the world into reciprocity with this gift of life.
A sacred space

Bee-cause
It is vital for women to take time to explore the depths of their being and to learn the ways of our feminine connection to the earth and all the magic she awaits for us not to learn but to remember.
We know the power of the creative expression that is cultivated from working with plant medicines.
Our desire is to provide a container to explore the sensual and creative nature of women.
"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."
Beyond a female only environment Re-member immersion workshops are designed to ignite the passion, power and pleasure that is our innate and natural way of being!
Our promise
This three-day immersion will be like nothing you have experienced before.
You will come away from the weekend with a deeper understanding of yourself and tools to integrate the lessons into your daily life.
The workshops within the immersion are designed to take us through the cycles of nature, walking the medicine wheel of our womb.
We will learn practices that support bridging ceremonies into everyday: breathwork, sound healing, nourishing bio-dynamic food, dance, and elemental rituals.
These practices are the art of the feminine. Having these tools helps us to be more whole for ourselves, our families, and our community.

Working with the 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 medicine! Music is a gift, to be honored in its fullest and with integrity.
Our vision is to co-create an experience that takes you on a sound journey within and connects you to the source that choreographs and guides the music and your 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.
We provide space where frequency & vibrations promote healing through music and movement medicine, establishing healthy foundations for maintaining harmony in being.
