Adventure is an absolutely essential part of our retreat in glorious Tuscany! We will explore Florence and the countryside around Il Grande Prato. Some of us will go on to another adventure Venice.

As grand as these adventures will be, another awaits us at Il Grande Prato. There we will gather in a circle of creative, supportive women and journey inward to explore the birthing of Self in a very special way.

We will explore our unique soul imprint is the most glorious work of art you will ever create. This birthing of Self is an ongoing process, an adventure that cannot be experienced through your outer world senses. Rather, you must turn inward, where the deep wisdom of the Feminine guides us.

The Feminine is an energy within both women and men. It is our inner knowing, our stillness that allows us to wait and let all manner of things that are yet hidden be born in their own time. It is intuition. The Masculine is outer world action, evaluation and judgment. It is rational thought. Balance between the Feminine and the Masculine allows us to be fully functioning human beings.

To the detriment of all beings and the earth itself, this balance is dangerously skewed. Albert Einstein put it this way: "The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant.  We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift." 

The retreat in Tuscany will reclaim of the gift of the Feminine in all her aspects. The integrated Feminine is serene and wild. She is playful and erotic. She is passionate and compassionate. She is the Triple Goddess of Maiden, Mother, Crone. She is Warrior and Wild Woman. She gives life, takes life and promises rebirth. Her energy is the source of an impassioned life. She is Woman Unto Herself.

• What parts of the Feminine are already yours?
• What parts do you need to embrace?
• What parts of Woman Unto Herself frightens you?
• What parts delight you?
• What parts of your true self are waiting to be born?

This birthing is the journey we'll take in Tuscany. Through a variety of means including writing, ritual, myth, sharing, meditation and much more, we will explore and embrace the integrated Feminine, the experience of Woman Unto Herself.
