Rooted and Resilient

A Women’s Retreat for These Times

WHEN:

October 9 – 12, 2025

WHERE:

Blue Deer Center, Margaretville, New York

TUITION:

$965, All-inclusive price

Presented by Sacred Fire


You feel it in your bones.


The world is shifting — unraveling in some ways, awakening in others. Climate chaos, cultural division, injustice, and disconnection press heavily on our hearts. And still, something in you knows: you were made for these times.


You’ve always cared deeply. About the Earth. About the Sacred. About how we treat each other. But lately, it might feel like you're carrying it all alone — unsure how to ground your care into power and presence that serves the world and nourishes you, too.


This fall, come gather in sacred circle with women like you — women who feel the ache of the world and the call to wholeness, healing, and contribution.


This retreat is for you if you...


  • Feel heartbreak over what’s happening to the Earth and our communities

  • Are a seeker of both personal and spiritual depth

  • Want to show up more fully for your community, family, or work without burning out

  • Believe in a different kind of leadership — rooted in compassion, interconnectedness, and care

  • Are tired of individualism and longing for true community and sisterhood

  • Know that the feminine — the sacred feminine — has a role to play in restoring balance to our world


What to Expect


During this 4-day retreat, we’ll co-create a nourishing space where you can reconnect with what truly matters — and remember that you’re not alone.


You’ll experience:

  • Rituals and practices that root you in the sacred feminine and enliven your creative essence.

  • Traditional cleansing ceremonies that interrupt habits, doubts and fears.

  • Guided practices to help you clarify your purpose, your part, and your path

  • Deep conversations with women who get it


Plus:

  • Time on sacred land to remember your place in the living web of life

  • Delicious, healthy meals that nourish body and spirit

  • Spaciousness to rest, reflect, and re-source yourself for the road ahead


Why Now?


Traditional wisdom from many cultures speaks of this time — a time when women are called to rise and speak, act, and lead not in spite of our deep feeling, but because of it.


You are not too much.
You are not too sensitive.
You are the medicine.


This retreat isn’t about fixing yourself — it’s about remembering who you are.


It’s about rooting into the power of women’s collective wisdom, creative expression, and courageous leadership — and rising from that place to meet the world.


Please join us!
