Berkshire Beltane Retreat for Women
with Mary Campbell
Sunday, May 4
9:30am – 4:30pm
Only 10 places available
Beltane is May 1st.
This Celtic holiday celebrates our intimate connection to the earth’s fertility and our own embodied earthly capacities for welcoming the pleasure of our senses.
Each of us had indigenous foremothers. Many gathered, as we will do near this exact mid-point between the Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice. This is an opportune time to stoke your inner creative energies for the summer ahead.
As the land warms, this day of preparation will inspire you to call in more embodied connections with land, sky, water, and sunlight through the senses you were born to live and enjoy.
I invite you to spend the day with me at my home and garden in the Berkshires hills. Join a small group of open and curious women to explore your sensual capacities and possibilities for greater enlivened pleasure and connection with yourself and the natural world.
Too often we fall into the habit of bemoaning what’s not working in our lives and the world. But rarely are we given an invitation to focus on what’s most important to our deeper connection with ourselves, living as we do in these female bodies.
The culture’s debilitating stories still often play unconsciously in our minds. We buy into the long list of what’s NOT right about who we are and how we are in the bedroom and in life.
But what IS right is right there waiting for our attention AND is so much more important to our ever more delighted lives.
Join me for a day of learning, honest sharing, and self-discovery with very practical steps to reprograming the old and inviting in what’s yours to enjoy. I promise you!
The Day's Schedule
MORNING
Settle in, meet your tribe, and share more of who we are and what you most desire! With your bare feet on the earth (weather permitting) learn ancient qigong practices to activate your body’s energetic pathways and deeper connection to the Earth and cosmos. Explore ways to build activation, deepen and sustain enlivenment, and enjoy everyday extended experiences of pleasure.
MID-MORNING
Walk the land with particular guidance to more fully commune with the trees, rocks, pond, and animals that abide here. Return to the group to bring their whisperings for your growth and wholeness.
With Mary’s guidance, experience the power of a somatic meditation practice to begin to excavate and release what may still stand in the way of you living the birthright of your more fully pleasured life – body, heart, mind, and soul.
LUNCH with MARY
Share an exquisite repast of Spring’s bounty in a new-found circle of sisterhood.
EARLY AFTERNOON
Share with your sisters your own story of the challenges you’ve faced as your hormones and body have changed through your life. Learn to listen more deeply to the mysteries of your body’s messages, how to tune into life’s pleasure no matter your age, and how to listen to and speak your needs so they can be honored.
MID AFTERNOON
Go for an extended nature exploration to search for your personal totem to take with you into your creative Springtime. Return to fashion a Beltane flower crown celebrating all that’s about to blossom in your being.
