Another potent night at The Ritual Portal, our monthly full moon gathering.

Tonight we explored the theme of maintaining sovereignty while staying open in relationships with others. Every single moment was powerful and every woman walked away with much more clarity and deepens awareness, myself included.

These monthly gatherings are soul filling in ways I cannot articulate - but I am so grateful for them and love co-facilitating with šŸ©·šŸŒ•šŸŒ²

We hold them outside in the forest on private land in Bragg Creek. We gather around a warm fire and our connection with nature depends the whole experience, undeniably!

Registration opens just one month in advance - send a fm if you’d like to join us next time….

Tonight! It’s time to stop suppressing your anger and rage and time to start listening to its wisdom. šŸ”„

Most of us were taught to hide our anger, but what if your rage is actually a sacred messenger pointing toward your truest needs and boundaries? Join us for Sacred Rage, a live, guided session where we move beyond the overwhelm and into a space of deep curiosity and compassion.

Together, we’ll hold space for the ā€œinner fire,ā€ transforming it from something that consumes into a conscious, empowering energy that aligns with your authentic Self.

Monday, March 30th | 7:30 PM – 8:30 PM MST
or
Monday, April 20th | 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM MST

One spot just opened up for Tuesday night’s full moon gathering in Bragg Creek.

Dm to join!

The Ritual Portal is a powerful container for presence, community connection, and transformation. It is a ceremonial space held with reverence, inviting embodied ritual and connection to the rhythms of the earth, the moon, your body and the deep feminine.

Together, Jen and Trina create a soul-rooted, energetically attuned space for women to reconnect to their truth. This space welcomes you into a living ritual, held under the full moon, in the forest, around the fire.

You are invited into this portal: a deeply transformative space between what has been and what is becoming. Here, we return not just to ourselves, but to a sacred way of intentional, ritualized living.

My own art therapy piece from the Alignment Retreat! I asked to lead a sesh on expressing alignment of self energy and it was such a nourishing way to creatively integrate what was unfolding through the weekend.

I offer art therapy in my work, as well - but I just love the vibe Amelia brings when she holds these art collaging sessions and love having her contribute to my retreats!

Words can’t explain the magic that went on this weekend at the Alignment Retreat. ✨ I am beyond grateful for these women and .co who supported me all weekend long and held space alongside me for the phenomenal women who chose to invest in themselves for this weekend of transformation.
I’m feeling awe-struck, inspired, grateful and so deeply honoured to be able to walk alongside so many incredible women on their journeys to deeper connection with themselves. I just can’t WAIT to do it again. 🌲 ✨

Also a special shoutout to my incredible assistant, Christina .simply.virtual_assisting who worked endlessly with me behind the scenes over the past NINE months as we planned and prepped and organized every single detail for this retreat! šŸ’—ā˜€ļø

Add in steady aerobic movement and time immersed in nature, and the benefits deepen…reducing cortisol (stress hormones), improving your mood & boosting your immune system šŸ‘Œ

Activities like this help to people shift out of hypervigilance and back into embodied presence.

You will leave feeling grounded, restored, and empowered, able to carry this clarity and balance into your everyday life, respond from presence rather than reaction, and move forward with ease.
