Ecstatic Expression: A Women’s Retreat

October 05 - October 08, 2023

Connie Viglietti

Join Connie Viglietti this fall to dance between the veils of Ecstatic Expression. Together we will gather, as women have since the beginning, to explore the role that creativity plays in our ability to express our truth.We will spend our weekend together participating in creative play, ceremony, and ritual to reignite our bond of sisterhood through creativity and collaboration. By the end of our retreat, you will feel rejuvenated with a strengthened sense of clarity and confidence in expressing your own authentic voice and truth.My darling sisters, let us use this magical time of year to unplug and slow down together, tune into our bodies and our desires, and listen. When we attune to our desires through the stunning vehicles that are our bodies, when we share our voices and commune together, our souls burst forth with creativity and joy. We reclaim our divine feminine nature and remember that we are creative beings.And we get to walk this path and create together. When we listen and receive one another, we tune into ecstatic connection and sisterhood reawakens.Together we remember and reclaim our wholeness and sovereignty.Together we reawaken our creative spirit!The world needs our unique light. It’s time to unleash our power to shine!
