Hello dear woman!

We created this retreat on a foundation of appreciation for the healing power of nature, creative self-expression, and women in sacred circle. Find Your Wings is an invitation to join with your sisters, be witnessed, explore your limits and stretch your boundaries. It is an invitation to dive within and rekindle the fire of your connection to your truth. It is an invitation to reunite with nature, reconnect with your natural-born creativity, hear your inner wisdom, and express your authenticity.

It is our experience that we each have all we need within us: the truth of us, our authentic self, lies like a buried treasure waiting to be uncovered! Your quest — should you choose to accept it — is to uncover your authenticity and shine your unique, brilliant light unfiltered. During the Find Your Wings Retreat you will explore, discover, and unite with your authentic self, receiving guidance from your inner wisdom. and reveal the wings that have always been with you.

The structure of the Retreat

Your retreat begins with your arrival on Saturday at 3pm. Larissa and Leah welcome you and help you orient to the location. Take time to settle in, to walk the woods trail, enjoy the open fields and pond, and attune to the vibration of this special sanctuary. Find a sacred space to set up your tent, or select a spot in one of the group tents, and then receive your Welcome Guidance prompt.

We gather at 6pm for a vegan, organic farm-to-table meal created by Frinklepod Farm, followed by our opening fire circle, with intention setting, songs, and sharing. Sleep in the great outdoors, under the stars, connecting with nature and your inner being for a night of dreams and rest.

Sunday morning breakfast is from 7-8:30 and you are free to explore, rest, journal and connect with others until we officially begin our day at 9:00 am.

Your morning will unfold with an integrated journey as Leah and Larissa guide you through a series of inquiries and exercises to identify your authentic self and bring her to life through journaling, sharing, creative expression, embodiment, and nature.

At lunch we enjoy another delicious vegan farm-to-table meal from Frinklepod Farm. This hour offers time to eat, relax, reflect, connect with one another, and explore the land.

In the afternoon your journey continues with a deeper exploration into your intuitive painting and creative expression on the canvas.

The closing circle provides an opportunity to share reflections with the rest of the Wings tribe before departing from this special place and experience at 6:00pm.

REINTEGRATION
Leah and Larissa recognize that an experience like Find Your Wings is powerful, and navigating reintegration into day-to-day life can feel challenging. To support you in integrating your Winged Self in your everyday life, there will be a 1.5 hour Zoom call two weeks after the retreat.

“There is so much I could say about the day of Finding your wings, with Leah and Larissa. It was playful, yet profound. I was able to look at some deep questions and approach them with colorful paint and freedom to make art, cover it up, do it again, and change it if I wanted! I was able to overcome my fear of “ making a mistake”, because I saw that there weren’t any mistakes, just different ‘try’s’. It was a lovely day, and Leah and Larissa are both nurturing and enthusiastic coaches on the road to finding our wings!!!”

You may have some questions

How do I know if this retreat is for me?

Wonderful question! Leah created this video to offer support and guidance as you find your YES.

Do I need to know how to paint?

Absolutely not. Larissa will be sharing a fun, expressive painting process where “mistakes” and “uh-ohs” are opportunities for magic to happen. There is no need to worry about making something beautiful...in fact, you are invited to throw out all your preconceived notions of what "beauty" is, and play with paint like a kid again! The process you will be using is simple and fun and something anyone can do. Larissa made this video to show you how simple it is!

How much does the retreat cost?

The retreat costs $297 total ( a registration fee of $272 and a required camping sign-up through Hipcamp for $25). This price includes all activities, three meals, paints, and camping.
