The Return of Grace: Reclaiming the Sacred Feminine SoulCollage® Retreat

Autumn + Sacred Feminine + Healing

In the golden hush of autumn, we mirror the Earth — letting go of what no longer serves, composting old identities, and preparing the inner soil for new life. Through SoulCollage®, council, ritual, reflection, and rest, we gather to remember the Sacred Feminine as she lives within and around us — the part of us that knows how to soften, receive, and heal. 

Equinox invites us to balance the feminine and masculine energies within self and culture, doing our part to heal the wounds of overdrive, competition, and depletion through receptivity, intuition, and care. Guided by archetypes of the Sacred Feminine, we’ll explore the path to allowing the feminine to rise again, radiant and whole.

Intentions for the Sacred Feminine SoulCollage® Retreat:

• To reconnect with the wisdom of the Sacred Feminine as healer, guide, and creatrix
• To honor the cycles of descent and renewal within our own lives
• To release old patterns of striving, self-judgment, and depletion
• To listen to the body’s truth and the Earth’s quiet messages
•  To find deep rest and belonging in community and ceremony

Why You?

• Because you are a woman who feels the quiet ache of the world and knows, deep down, that healing begins within.
• Because you’ve spent years giving, creating, striving, holding, and now your spirit whispers: rest, remember, return.
• You carry within you the seeds of grace — the intuitive knowing, the compassion, and the creative spark that our culture has long forgotten. This retreat is for the part of you that is ready to lay down the armor, to listen to your body’s wisdom, and to reconnect with the sacred feminine as healer, guide, and creatrix.

Why Here?

• Because we gather in a space held by the Earth herself — a living temple of beauty, stillness, and belonging at Breitenbush Hot Springs.
• Here, surrounded by natural rhythms and elemental presence, the land becomes a teacher, reminding us of cycles of descent and renewal.
• Here, in community and ceremony, we remember that grace is not earned — it is received.
• Here, through image, ritual, and circle, we weave our individual stories into the greater tapestry of feminine wisdom returning to the world.

Why Now?

• Because the world is at a turning point. The old ways of striving, depletion, and disconnection are crumbling, and something tender, fierce, and true is asking to be reborn through us.
• Now is the time to reclaim the sacred feminine — to remember that our creativity, intuition, and capacity for love are medicine for this time.
• Now is the time to sit in grace, to listen to what the Earth and our bodies are whispering, and to rise rooted in wisdom rather than strictly willpower.
• Now is the time because you are ready. Grace is already reaching for you.

This retreat is open to all levels of experience. Whether you are new to the practice of SoulCollage® or have been creating cards for years, you are welcome in this circle of discovery and renewal. Re-ignite the Sacred Feminine within you amidst the healing power of nature, creativity, and soulful connection.

“The community that was created in just a few days is one I’ll always have fond memories of. You made it so easy with your awesome organization and supplies. That, and the inspiration in the form of poetry, drumming, singing bowls, prompts, along with the natural beauty of Breitenbush, all made me want to make this an annual event! With much appreciation.” Beth S.
