Wisdom Rising: Awakening the Empowered Feminine in Her Diverse Forms

You have engaged in mindfulness practices and enjoyed a deep level of self-connection, yet you find it challenging to apply your inner experiences on the cushion into the current daily expressions of divisiveness, bigotry and violence in our world. You may feel emotions ranging from anger and frustration to powerlessness and despair. How can your practice have an impact on social change?

There is an inner knowing that tells you you are needed at this time in history. It is true—you are needed in your divine feminine form as an agent of compassion, power, and clarity. You are needed as an awake being, who can integrate your spiritual practices into the important conversations and actions we need to have around issues of race, privilege, and oppression.

Through guided meditations, dharma talks, conscious communication inquiry, yoga, dance, and generative writing, you will awaken the enlightened and empowered feminine within you.

Come to this women’s retreat to

• Embody the wisdom of the Mandala of the Five Wisdom Dakinis, a practice developed by Lama Tsultrim Allione. This is a core practice in the Wisdom Rising movement that Lama Tsultrim founded.
• Find your authentic voice and expression to raise awareness and mindfulness to engage in healing conversations about shared power and acceptance.
• Compassionately uncover and share your own experience of confronting authority, race, privilege, and oppression.
• Transform obstacles to this process of empowerment and healing through Feeding Your Demons®.
• Know yourself through the powerful practice of journaling and generative writing.
• Unlock your creativity and learn ways of telling your authentic story.  
• Develop strategies and an action plan to take this work into your life and the world.

Together, we can walk the world embodying our feminine power and stand up for equality, compassion, and understanding.

The Tibetan practice of Chöd will be offered as a healing ceremony. Listening to Chöd provides an opportunity for healing on a deep level. Those who know the Namkhai Norbu Chöd, please bring your practice materials.

Please bring comfortable clothes for movement practices and meditation.
