The DAUGHTER OF SWORDS was born into a violent world, but it is not her world.
She inherited this lineage of blades and scars and wars. She wonders, moment by moment, how to navigate its edges, its rules, its redemptive ways. All the while she feels the impulse of her knowing, her subtle center. The instinctive call to forge a new path, a new language, a new way. And so she picks up her sword to aim at new coordinates. She draws lines across the horizon of connection, care, protection, and grace. You are her, and these coordinates are where we meet, for there are many daughters. We fly lighter from the work. We share in its necessity. And through it, together, there is joy in the gilded task of being alive.

YOUR GUIDES
-
Kim Krans
SYMBOLS // DREAMWORK
Kim is the Creator of The Wild Unknown— a visionary artist, writer, and lifelong student of the archetypal image.
Kim works with what lives below the surface — the inner images, the symbols, the language that arrives before thought. Through yoga nidra, dreamwork, writing, and drawing, she teaches you to see what you already know and how bring it into the world. -

Adriana Marie Rizzolo
EROS // DEVOTION
Adriana 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. Adriana works at the exquisite intersection where creativity, eros, grief, spirituality, and healing meet to guide you to return to the body's intelligence, the sacredness of feeling, the essence of love that is our true nature. -

Kendra Smith
KICKBOXING // EMPOWERMENT
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.
Kendra will move you. She has been training women to feel their strength — inside out — for over 20 years. Martial arts-inspired group forms — katas built around our archetypes, an army of women moving powerfully together. Kickboxing. Self-defense. Elemental movement. She takes women to places they've never been for their ultimate expansion.
THIS RETREAT IS FOR YOU IF
You want to be in a room where women gather to feel their power, move, release, channel, and alchemize.
You are done with spirituality that skips the body, and art that is separate from healing.
You are ready to use your voice, not because someone gave you permission, but because you possess it.
You seek places beneath performance. Beneath identity. Where the part of you that belongs to something deeper, older, and more alive than the pace of the world can fully emerge.
You are ready to cut the threads keeping you from your highest potential.
