Soul-filled women,

What will you experience during the Luminous Women’s Retreat Day?

You arrive the morning of Sunday, January 6th to la Grange studio around 9:10am. There is very little traffic along highway 5, and the quiet peaceful hills line your drive with a feeling of space and ease.

You set down your yoga mat, blanket, water bottle, journal and pens in the studio, and keeping your coat on, head back outside to the back lawn of the la Grange property. There is time to take in deep breaths of fresh country air and observe your surroundings.

As we all arrive, you may greet participants you recognize, or say hello to some new women.

Once everyone has gathered outside, I offer you a pinch of tobacco to hold in your hand. This part is optional and only if it feels right for your heart. You may wish to just observe. I greet the ancestors of the land--the Algonquin ancestors, offering thanks, recognition, and whatever words feel inspired in the moment.


We place the small offering of tobacco on the ground. We are present to the earth beneath our feet, and the other divine expressions as wind, cloud, sun, hills, river, moisture, snow, stone.

If you don’t yet have a prayer practice, or have never had relationship with the ancestors of the land modelled for you, this is a little way to drink that in. I did not learn to pray growing up. I had to learn. I learned by watching and listening to elders who showed me the way.

As a young person, I spent a lot of time on the land walking by myself. I didn’t know that I was growing my relationship to the land and the ancestors then, but it is the foundation of that relationship now.

Next we all go into the warm (hopefully sunny! ) studio. It has great windows that look out over the hills.

There will be an altar set up where you can place an object that either symbolizes connection to fire and the Goddess Hestia, your intention for your day, or for 2019.

Once the altar is built, I will light a candle and make a prayer of invitation to the fire as the goddess Hestia--she who lights the hearth within our bodies, our hearts, to begin things, to illuminate prayers, to warm us, to ignite.

I will lead a short guided meditation to invite this fire presence into your body so you can explore it and be nourished by it.

We introduce ourselves to one another. What called you to the retreat? What do you need right now? How are you feeling about 2019? Do you know some of your intentions yet?

Next, we settle into our chakras in a seated meditation. Don’t know much about the chakras? Where they are in your body? How they feel? This is your time to learn and embody in a simple way. If you have worked with your chakras before, this is a time and space to revisit and go a little deeper.

Now it is time for yoga! We come to standing to begin. Breathing, moving, grounding, you listen to drum music playing that awakens the chakra centres. I invite you through a practice where we start from the ground up, and wake up the areas of our bodies around each of the chakras; getting warm, coming alive, having fun moving.

Your body is awake from root to crown; you rest in savasana to let all the awakened energies land more deeply into your body. It's a nice long savasana...ah! Let yourself rest and receive.

It’s about 11 o’clock. Gently bring your awareness back into the room, take a water, pee, or tea break.

Now you are ready to go deeper into the chakras. We add colour vibration, maybe spin, sound vibration and a deeper understanding of how each of these energy centres is metabolizing a key part of your psyche, consciousness and experiences.

Beginners are learning new things about the deeper levels of their being. More practiced women are refining and challenging themselves to open and absorb more deeply.

As we complete this section, you may wish to take time to write any insights in your journal. You are feeling more attuned, clear, uplifted and bright!

It’s time to eat! A delicious stew has been warming in the crock pot. A fresh, crisp root salad is ready for munching. There are crackers, pate, cheese, vegetables, and some animal protein for those who need. (Chocolate comes later...!)

Be nourished. Warm yourself with a mug of tea. You can sit around in the yoga studio or in the reception area in front. It’s a great time to talk with the other women and get to know them more.

Around 1pm, there is free time. There are lovely trails to walk right from the front door of la Grange, which take about 45 minutes if fresh air and Nature time is calling you.

If you are tired from 2018 and your ‘holidays’, maybe it’s time to curl up for a nap, grab a chapter in that book you are reading, or borrow one of my books and read more about chakras and the Hara work we will do soon.

You may have struck up a connection with one of the other women, and want to speak to them more about what you share in common, or things she is doing in her life.

We gather again around 2:30. Now it’s time to go deeper. Deeper than the chakras that sit in your Aura. We go to the dimension of your intentionality-the Hara dimension. This template aligns you directly with your Life Purpose-your reason for incarnating in this lifetime.

First I teach you about the Hara. What does it look like (if you could see it). How does it fit with your physical body and Aura? What sacred energies are contained within it?

I demonstrate a standing Hara alignment exercise so you can feel it and receive the transmission.

We spend some time with your Soul Seat, a radiant point that sits along your Hara line. It contains your longing. As we melt into that point, you can capture what your as-yet unfulfilled longings are that become the guiding light for your Life Purpose. Write them down! They are a precious form of guidance.

Then we will go into your body again with some simple yoga postures to begin to attune and align with the beautiful laser lines of gold that compose this level of your energy being. You begin to sense the energy in the room is different than when we did chakra work. You can feel the difference that being in the dimension of intention creates.

Lastly, you can stand or sit to do the Hara alignment exercise yourself. It’s very powerful when there is a group of us-this amplifies the energy so it is easier to feel it.

We sit and absorb. I will offer the Oneness Blessing-a transmission of energy directly into your crown chakra. You can then lie down in savasana one last time and let everything integrate.

You arise, I blow out our candle on the altar, say farewell.  Gather your things to go home to rest for the evening.

The absolute deadline to sign up is Wednesday, January 2nd.
The caterer needs to know the next day what delicious things to shop for and how much!
