Welcome to Ravenswood where we will..
Nurture the Mother
The Mother that lives within all of us, and wants to live in harmony with the Great Mother Earth and Grandmother Moon.
She is everything and we are she.
Our inner Mother is often wounded, exhausted and not valued as she should be.
Join us for a weekend of mothering each other and yourself.
This is a whole other level of self-care as we gather in rituals and ceremony to celebrate and honour the Great Mother energies all around us. Let her comfort, love and nourish us. Let us lift each other up as we feel the love of the Great Mother that lives in each of us, for each of us.
The world as a whole is changing and so you are you. Harness this beautiful and powerful feminine energy to live life exactly as you are intended to and dream of.

Join us in our sacred Yurt
We will gather in the yurt in a circle of Sisterhood for ceremony and healing intent. It is a beautiful space nestled in the Ravenswood forest. It is a magical sanctuary filled with the energy and vibration of nature. Within the yurt’s shelter, we are protected from the elements yet connected to the elements and nurturing essence of Mother Earth herself.

Next Retreat: October 27-29, 2023
This is a very special and new offering as we gather together in the forest to celebrate the Full Moon and use that energy to nurture our deep love for the mother within us.
We are all mothers whether we have had children or not. We have mothers and are deeply to connected the Great Mother - Gaia, our Earth Mother.
Under Grandmother Moon we will set the intentions that serve our highest good and purpose. We will release what stands in our way and no longer serves us and together we will bond in sisterhood and nurture each other.
We can't wait to spend this time with you.
Love, Elisabeth & Denise
