Sunday, May 4

2 - 5 p.m.
Private Residence, Denver Area

A ceremony of descent, fire, and return.

This is not a workshop.
This is a ceremony — a passageway back to the truth of your body, your energy, your creative center.

The Maternal Burn is a ritual womb journey that moves through three sacred phases:

Descent — into the parts of you that have been hidden, held, or hardened

Burn — a sacred fire of release, expression, and transformation

Rebirth — a return to self through softness, sovereignty, and sensuality

Guided by the wisdom of Ayurvedic duality and the Tantric feminine, we’ll explore what it means to live in the in-between:
light and shadow, giving and receiving, letting go and letting be.

You’ll be held in movement, sound, breath, and ritual — not to fix yourself, but to remember yourself.

This ceremony honors the maternal archetype in all its forms: not only mothers of children, but of ideas, art, people, communities, and selves.

Come ready to release what no longer belongs.
Leave with your center intact — radiant, rooted, and fully yours.

As a token of our appreciation for your presence, each attendee will receive a Nesting Gift, including a ceremonial mug and the assurance of a supportive community of women who see and embrace you in your entirety.

Whether you are a mother to physical beings, seeking to heal relationships with maternal figures in your life, navigating the complexities of your personal journey through motherhood, or simply yearning to delve deeper into the connections, creativity, and power inherent in the female form and its myriad capacities, ALL are warmly welcomed.
