ABOUT THE RETREATS
Sacred Feminine was created in 2018 by Lisa Gungor and Dr. Hillary McBride. It started as a series of retreats for woman-identifying people when Lisa and Hillary both connected over the longing to create empowering and enlivening spaces with other women; it has now grown to include retreats for man-identifying people as well. The purpose of this work is to undo the burdens of patriarchal and colonial traditions, renegotiate the relationship with our bodies, redistribute the power in relationships, all while staying in touch with the play of life. The work of Sacred Feminine is currently expressed via retreats and embodiment workshops.
Sacred Feminine's guiding statement
The way of the sacred feminine is about joining things that were never meant to be apart: the mind and the body, our power and our vulnerability, the self and the other, our sense of the realness of right here and the vastness and mystery of the unknown. All of it good, all of it sacred, all of it belongs.
