Daughter of Swords,
The blade is yours. You are it.
The lineage, the clarity,
the ancient knowing.

In navigating this world, you learned discernment, precision, the courage to cut through what is false. You remembered and awakened your ancient wisdom and power.

But your sword was always meant to forge a new path, a new language, a new way.

This is where we find each other.

This is where we each aim our sword to new coordinates.

Toward connection, care, protection, and grace. Where we may fly lighter from the work. Where there is real joy in the gilded task of being alive.

THIS RETREAT IS FOR YOU IF
You are done with spirituality that skips the body, and art that is separate from healing.

You want to be in a room where women are gathering with intention to feel their power — to move, release, channel, alchemize.

You are ready to use your voice not because someone gave you permission, but because you possess it.

You want the places beneath performance. Beneath identity. The part of you that belongs to something deeper, older, and more alive than the pace of the world would have you believe.

YOUR GUIDES

KIM KRANS
Symbols. Dreams. The poet's tongue.

The interior quiets. She remembers poets. She remembers laughter.

Kim works with what lives below the surface — the inner images, the symbols, the language that arrives before thought. Through yoga nidra, dreamwork, and writing and drawing what emerges, she teaches you to see what you already know and bring it into the world. The weekend closes with a sharing: poems read aloud, drawings passed around. Not performance. Proof of what was always there.

Kim Krans is the creator of The Wild Unknown — artist, writer, and lifelong student of the archetypal image.

ADRIANA MARIE RIZZOLO
Devotion. Eros. The ancient and ancestral exhale.

Adriana works at the exquisite intersection where creativity, eros, grief, spirituality, and healing meet — and she insists that spirituality live in the body, and that art not be separate from healing. Her work includes embodiment, ritual theater, somatic shadow work, grief rituals, voice reclamation through chanting and group singing, and Body Temple Dance. She helps you return to the body's intelligence, the sacredness of feeling, the essence of love that is our true nature.

These are the places beneath performance. Beneath identity. The rooms inside you that don't usually get permission to breathe and express. An ancient and ancestral exhale.

Adriana Marie Rizzolo is a somatic sex educator, artist, and founder of Body Temple and Dark Goddess Doula. For nearly two decades she has held transformational space rooted in embodied spirituality, shadow work, and sacred feminine practice.

KENDRA SCURLOCK
Warrior. Power. Samurai that sh*t.

Kendra will move you. Martial arts-inspired group forms — katas built around our archetypes, an army of women moving powerfully together. Kickboxing. Self-defense. Elemental movement. She has the ability to take women to places they've never been — new territory, often scary territory — with rare, full permission that allows for incredible expansion and transformation on the other side. Her goal is simple: get you out of your head and into your body. Reveal what's already true.

She has been training women to feel their strength — always inside out — for over 20 years.

Kendra Scurlock has spent two decades infiltrating spaces normally reserved for men, racing toward fear, and insisting with the most ferocious love that others do the same.

EACH WEEK WE WILL:

  • explore one core concept present in Creativity + Shamanism.

  • engage in a shamanic practice (a walking meditation) designed to awaken your creative power.
    this practice will be the foundation of our studies and we will build upon it as the course culminates. 

  • learn to engage with art, archetypes, and community.

  • learn to work with symbols both internally and externally.

  • respond to a creative prompt (yes, Kim gives art homework!) to be posted on our shared private app (yes, Kim provides weekly, personal feedback on the app!).

  • incorporate a Jungian (depth psychological) lens to our work, and gentle practices such as yoga nidra.
