This retreat is ceremonially guided by Kelly, a member of the Cherokee tribe who has trained for 13 years within Lakota spiritual traditions in grief and trauma ceremony.

The ceremonial elements are rooted in Indigenous spiritual reverence and prayer. This is not a religious conversion space, nor is it dogmatic. Women of all backgrounds are welcome, provided they enter with respect for the traditions guiding the ceremonial container.

No.

This is a consent-based and trauma-informed space. You will never be required to share, speak, or participate beyond what feels safe and aligned for your nervous system.

You are always welcome to witness quietly.

Your sovereignty is honored.

On Saturday night, women are invited (not required) to sleep together in the ceremonial space.

This is completely voluntary.

You may choose to:

Sleep in the ceremonial room (beds available)

Bring your own mattress into the space

Sleep in a shared or private bedroom

There is no hierarchy in this choice.

Kelly will continue holding sacred space overnight and may offer quiet prayer or gentle support for those who desire it.

Your comfort and safety come first.

No.

This retreat is not therapy, nor does it replace mental health treatment.

We will be working with grief and trauma in a ceremonial and somatic way, including subconscious reprogramming, energy healing, and sound integration. If you are currently experiencing acute psychological distress or are in crisis, this retreat may not be appropriate at this time.

If you are unsure, please reach out privately before registering.

Grief is not limited to death.

Women attend with grief related to:

⇨ Loss of identity

⇨ Relationship endings

⇨ Divorce

⇨ Miscarriage

⇨ Motherhood transitions

⇨ Lost dreams

⇨ Ancestral trauma

⇨ Emotional neglect

⇨ Spiritual disconnection

You do not need a dramatic story to attend. If something feels unresolved in your body, that is enough.

This is a communal retreat.

Each participant is invited to bring food to share. We will coordinate dietary needs ahead of time to ensure everyone feels nourished and safe.

Preparing and sharing food together is part of the communal healing experience.

Space is limited to 9 women.

Some rooms will be shared. Women who register first will receive first choice of room selection.

If you require private sleeping space for medical or trauma-related reasons, please reach out prior to registration so we can discuss availability.

Yes.

All participants agree to confidentiality. What is shared in ceremony stays in ceremony.

This includes personal stories, emotional expression, and spiritual experiences.

Safety and privacy are foundational to this container.

The investment is $1,111.

⇨ Food contribution

⇨ Any necessary medications

We will provide ceremonial supplies.

Yes.

The ceremonial elements are guided and led by Kelly, who carries her own lineage and training. This retreat is held in reverence, not appropriation.

Participants are invited to enter with humility, openness, and respect for the traditions being honored.

You may be ready if:

⇨ You feel steady enough to process emotion.

⇨ You desire depth over distraction.

⇨ You feel called rather than pressured.

⇨ You are willing to be witnessed.

If you are unsure, trust your body. You are welcome to reach out and ask questions before committing.

This retreat is a sacred ceremonial healing container, not a replacement for medical or psychological treatment.
