Newaukum River Ranch welcomes Moon Shadow Sisters to join in circle this July 9-11th with the new moon.
Moon Shadow Sisters co-facilitators, Zazil & April, will lead you in circle each day offering tools and reflections for healing and perspective that include guided meditation, connective movements and journaling.
The Ranch will provide the perfect retreat as you leave the world for a while and enjoy the riverfront between group interactions. You’ll find hammocks in the trees, quilts and books in the barn, a hot shower, and primitive camping where the river trickles through your dreams. Not to mention that we’ll have breakfast catered for you!
This is a safe space for women to get real, share our journeys, and cultivate self-love and authentic relationships as we reconnect with our feminine essence.
