““I’ve been on quite a journey the past 5 months. It started as an intentional time and space I created to look at and heal some things. Among many facets of what I have called my “container”, one intention I had was to deepen my connection to other women, and also to my own feminine spirit, intuition, and sense of wholeness in myself.

I found @jess.lakin on Instagram and joined her online Women’s Circle that she leads. We all met weekly on zoom and I immediately felt connected with these ladies. We had our first in-person retreat this weekend out in Joshua Tree. I met a few of these women for the very first time here. I had known most of them through their little zoom boxes over the past 5 months and finally got to see them in 3D and hug their sweet selves. What a world. What an experience.

What I didn’t expect was how NURTURING the time would be with all of them. We hugged and snuggled and listened to each others’ stories and cried and ate meals and climbed boulders and marveled at nature. The ability of women to hold tender, loving space is SO magical and something I have missed for a long, long time. And for my “container”, what a healing and full-circle way to ceremonially bring it to a close. It was such a powerful time to honor this new perspective and wisdom that I’ve gained through this journey, and all the gratitude I have for it. I am so incredibly thankful for the space we carved out to witness each other in deep ways. Carrying them and their stories in my heart, always. So grateful ✨ @mothertreehealingarts”

Words can not convey the groundbreaking, life altering healing, connection, and JOY I felt throughout my stay.

The epiphanies, revelations, and words of wisdom gifted to me (all of us) were/are priceless. The amount of gratitude I have in my heart space for the both of you for sharing your light is immeasurable.

I am no longer full or fulfilled… I am OVERFLOWING. Overflowing and beaming with the GOLDEN rays of feminine warmth and compassion that reignited my fire, my true passion for creation.

I thank, honor, respect and LOVE all the women in this circle ⭕️ for our bravery, brilliance, boldness, resilience, vulnerability, and BE-ing..... Each day that passes, I discover golden tokens of wisdom I can use on my journey.

Winter, thank you for nourishing and replenishing our bodies with your vibrancy and love.

Jess, thank you for your guidance and kindness! I could feel the warmth of your maternal embraces.

I felt a sisterhood amongst strangers. ”
