HOLLOW BONE
ceremonial women’s immersion
| September 26th - 29th | New Brunswick
“If women remember that once upon a time we sang with the tongues of seals and flew with the wings of swans, that we forged our own paths through the dark forest while creating a community of its many inhabitants, then we will rise up rooted like trees. And if we rise up rooted, like trees...well, then women might indeed save not only ourselves, but the world.”
—Sharon Blackie, If Women Rose Rooted
September is a time of slowing down, of hollowing out, of deepening. We invite you into the temple of this sacred and ceremonial women’s immersion to rejuvenate, return, and reinspire.
Hollow Bone is an initiation into the feminine half of the year. As the leaves begin their fall to earth, as the harvest is high, you too, are descending into the depths of your own transformation. This is an opportunity to set in motion rituals that will carry you forth into the autumn and winter seasons. This weekend will be spent in ceremony, exploring earth ritual, feminine practices, and sisterhood connection. You’re invited to the holiest of hollowing out, opening into a deeper remembrance and embodiment of your truest nature.
We are calling in women who are aching to access the deeper potential of their feminine essence, those who are willing to move beyond sisterhood wounds, who are ready to own and explore the power of their womanly expression. Who are ready to clear old stories in their lineages, clear blockages in their creativity, clean the temple of their body. We are calling on women who are ready to find safety in their expression, to feel safe in their body, to free themselves into their distilled unique essence.
We welcome you for 3 nights and 4 days to explore the wild, ancient, and powerful hollowing into your innate wisdom, magic, and medicine. This will be a gathering of women who are aching to access more of their potency, to embody more of their feminine essence, and to root in connection. Held on the Petitcodiac River in southeastern New Brunswick at La Solitude Retreat Centre, where we are invited into the mists of wonder that this land brings forth, together we will share:
Sacred Women's Circle
Cacao Ceremony
Intentional Movement
Beauty Rituals
Plant Journeys
Ecstatic Dance

“Any ritual is an opportunity for transformation. To do a ritual you must be willing to be transformed in some way. The inner willingness is what makes the ritual come alive and have power. If you aren’t willing to be changed by the ritual, don’t do it.”
