Reclaiming The Sacred Feminine: A Path to Personal and Collective Renewal

June 12 - June 14, 2026

Isa Gucciardi Ph.D.

Many of us feel called to help create a more compassionate, balanced, and inclusive world. Bringing about this kind of paradigm shift begins with a profound transformation in how we understand and embody the Sacred Feminine in our own lives. For much of human history, this power has been honored as essential to balance, creation, and the flourishing of life. Yet over the centuries, it has been diminished, suppressed, and driven underground by dominant cultural forces.Now, the task is ours: to reclaim and restore this power—rediscovering its presence within ourselves and learning to channel it toward a vision of inclusivity, resilience, and collective healing. The Sacred Feminine is rooted in qualities such as nurturing, protection, creativity, mutuality, generosity, and healing. These are not limited by gender; they are inherent in all of us and available to anyone who chooses to cultivate and embody them.In this workshop, we will draw on practices inspired by earth-based wisdom to reconnect with the Sacred Feminine within. Through meditation, engagement with the elements, and experiential exercises, we will explore these qualities and discover ways to bring them into balance within ourselves and our communities.This workshop is largely experiential, providing tools to navigate life with greater clarity, compassion, and strength. You will learn to let the qualities of the Sacred Feminine serve as a compass, guiding your life toward harmony, purpose, and the courage and wisdom needed to meet the challenges of our time.What you will experience

“Homerun. One of the best retreats I’ve ever attended. Was an incredible treat especially to have so much access to Krishna Das, and I will never forget the Robert Thurman’s hysterical and insightful words. Incredibly inspiring and powerful weekend!”
