Imagine

tracing ancient footpaths in Southern France, breathing in the scent of lavender and stone as the Provençal wind blows across a quiet valley.

Envision entering a cave shrine where Mary Magdalene once sought refuge or standing before a Black Madonna altar that has witnessed centuries of prayer and miracles.

THIS IS MORE THAN A BEAUTIFUL TRIP;

it’s an invitation to step out of the ordinary and open yourself to a powerful transmission of life force energy, connecting you with a sacred way of experiencing the world that you will continue to walk in long after you leave France.

Remembrance Pilgrimage was born from a longing shared by many seasoned spiritual women: the longing for depth over distraction, integration over escape.
This is a calling to delve into the power of European spiritual traditions that were present pre and post Christ's life, especially in Southern France.

If you are feeling a tug in your soul

for a more meaningful, enlivened honoring of the sacred, and trusting the divine rhythm in daily life, this journey is for you. Over 11 days in Southern France, we will follow in the footsteps of the sacred feminine in the representations of – Mary Magdalene and the Black Madonna – not as a history tour, but as a living experience of devotion, sisterhood, healing, and personal transformation.

This is an invitation to walk a more fully devotional path of the sacred feminine.

Rather than “one more retreat” that feels amazing but fades when you get home, this is not a high-adrenaline tour, a big crowd, or a flashy, performative spiritual “high,”. This journey is not for those looking for hype, party atmosphere, or luxury for its own sake.

RemembrancE is designed as a pilgrimage
that becomes a way of life.

The ceremonial space you will enter in this experience clears the path
for you to live a more vibrant
and spiritually connected life.

The beautifully simple rituals that you will practice each day
can be carried into your routines at home.

You’ll be held in a small circle of like-hearted women, where each experience is an invitation and your sovereignty is respected at every step. We invite you to join us if you feel called with a heartfelt welcome to come as you are and step into the sacred rhythm that is already calling you.

This is not something new, but instead something you are remembering
that is already within you.

It is an awakening of your soul memory to the connection that is infinite and timeless. It is an opening to the energy of creation that powers the manifestation of your visions. A way of life in devotion and care for yourself and all life.

Who this is for

This pilgrimage is intended for women who sense there is something more profound and lasting to touch into and who are ready to embrace it.

TO REMEMBER IT, ATTUNE TO IT, AND HAVE IT FLOW THROUGH
AND GUIDE YOUR LIFE.

If this is this you, you might find yourself saying:

  • “I want a simpler, holier rhythm.”
  • “I am ready to live what I know and feel within.”
  • “I want depth, beauty, and calm that lasts.”
  • "I want to feel connected and guided on my path in a joyful and fulfilling way."
  • "I remember this feeling and want to be more dedicated and committed to living in connection with it."

Many who answer this call are creatives, healers, guides, or community leaders. You’ve attended workshops, trainings, retreats; you know a lot, and now you crave embodiment and genuine integration.

You value beauty, meaningful ritual, sisterhood, and sovereignty. You’re drawn to heritage places rich with story and infused with the ancient vibrations of sacred rituals and prayers. You appreciate clear structure with room to breathe, honest and warm leadership, and the company of other devoted women on a spiritual path.

More truths of the sacred feminine are continually unfolding
and being uncovered at this time, giving permission and
encouraging your truth to unfold and come to light.

Having a greater understanding of who Mary Magdalene was and her relevance and importance now for women to feel seen, heard, expressed, valued, and powerful. Remembering her true story helps you to remember your true self and the gifts you have to share.

WHY REMEMBRANCE?

In a world full of retreats and pilgrimages, Remembrance stands apart. We have lovingly crafted and curated this experience to ensure that what you receive is what is needed at this moment and will continue to support you in your life in ways that truly lasts.

HERE'S HOW REMEMBRANCE IS UNIQUE:

The Remembrance Way™: A simple daily practice framework you’ll learn during the pilgrimage, so clear and gentle that you can keep it up when you return home. This isn’t just a trip; it’s training in a regenerative rhythm of prayer, presence, and integration that fits into real life. This includes movement, food, meditation, ritual, rest, and other supports for an enlivened life.

The Vow of Remembrance™: At the heart of our journey lies a signature consecration ritual. In a magical power spot near the end of the retreat, you will be guided to articulate a personal Vow of Remembrance; a sacred commitment to how you will live what you’ve experienced. This isn’t a theoretical promise; it’s a witnessed, felt moment of clarity that seals your “yes” in your bones, so you leave inspired, reclaimed and committed to your path. This is a Vow to yourself, all life, and the life-force energy of Source itself.

A Sacred Feminine Arc: Rather than focusing on a single icon or doctrine, we honor a unified sacred feminine lineage. Over these 11 days, you’ll encounter Mary Magdalene, the Black Madonna, Mother Mary, and other Sacred Feminine Deities weaving one respectful, coherent story of love and devotion.

From the caves and basilicas of Magdalene’s local lore
to the mysteries of France’s Black Madonnas,
experience the breadth of the divine feminine with integrity;
weaving history and myth, heart and mind.

This breadth comes with depth: cultured insight meets mystical practice,
all framed in a way that’s relevant to your modern life (not just an empty tour of legends or sites).
These stories are meant to bring illumination to your own journey and spiritual practice.
This heart centered wisdom transverses across time, across lands, across religious belief systems
and infuses a diverse collection of hearts and souls to live an uplifted life of love.

Integration that lasts

Remembrance is designed so the transformation lands while you are here and continues when you return home.

Throughout the pilgrimage, integration is woven into the rhythm of each day through intention, movement, rest, and reflection, giving your experiences space to land fully as they happen instead of becoming work to unpack later. You will receive a Journal-Guide and the Remembrance Way daily rhythm that make devotion practical through prayer, breath, movement, food, ritual, and true rest that fits ordinary life.

We also support you before we travel through monthly circles and after you return through a live integration call and gentle follow-ups. Mornings will feel different, calmer, clearer, and genuinely aligned not only in the week after France but for the long arc of your life.

What we uniquely bring

We bring a combined experience that marries living ritual with practical integration. Together we hold a trauma-aware, consent-led circle where the sacred is not an idea. It is felt in your breath, your steps, your voice.

Expect candlelit ceremony and salt-of-the-earth simplicity. Expect creative embodiment that wakes the body and clear guidance that turns insight into one kind action you will actually take.

We listen for what wants to emerge, we keep the pace steady, and we translate the holy into a rhythm you can carry home. Our shared gift is making devotion both beautiful and doable, so you leave inspired, aligned, and committed to your path.

All of this unfolds in a warm, inclusive container of safety, consent, and care. The group is purposely kept small where connection and compassion are pillars of our space together. The pace is gentle and mindful; we build in plenty of breathing room. 

 we prioritiZe your experience and sovereignty. Our goal is for you to feel safe, seen, and respected at every moment of the journey.

Outcomes

What You’ll Walk Away With:

Remembrance is about real, lasting transformation. The true success of this pilgrimage will show up in your daily life, in how you feel and live after you return home. By the end of our time together, you will have:

A Steadier Spiritual Rhythm: Reclaim your Divine Identity as a limitless, worthy, radiant soul and established daily practices of devotion that keep you in direct connection with the Divine. You’ll remember who you truly are and feel empowered to continue a simple, holy rhythm of prayer, trust, and presence every day.

Freedom From Old Stories: Break free from limiting beliefs, doubt, guilt, shame, or religious conditioning that no longer serves you. You’ll dissolve old programming and replace it with a joyful sense of infinite possibility, self-love, and realization of interconnectedness; trusting yourself to dream bigger, live more boldly, and make choices from a place of freedom and confidence.

Emotional Healing and Upleveling: Gently heal layers of ancestral and personal wounds related to the sacred feminine that have been weighing on your heart. Through thoughtfully chosen and orchestrated exercises, ritual and a culture of compassion, you’ll alchemize pain into peace, acceptance and allowance. You will cultivate emotional mastery, and dissolve fear and the patterns that create anxiety. Imagine returning home with your nervous system truly regulated, carrying an unshakable inner calm and trust, while being ignited more towards your purpose.

Clarity in Purpose and Leadership: Tap into unwavering clarity about your calling and gifts. You’ll strengthen your personal leadership; whether that means leading others or leading your own life with integrity and possibility. Becoming clear about and aligned with your soul’s purpose, you’ll feel empowered to step forward in your communities with renewed courage, guided by the balanced union of your divine feminine and masculine energies within.

Authentic Sisterhood: Experience what it means to truly belong in a sacred circle of women. Over our days together, you will create authentic, soul-centered bonds with like-hearted sisters. You’ll practice healthy sisterhood, free of competition, judgment,  or pretense and feel what it’s like to be supported unconditionally. These friendships and this feeling of belonging can be a wellspring of strength, courage, and reminders to bring you back to your hearts center long after the retreat. This love will infuse and trickle out into your other relationships with fellow women.

Creative & Sensual Aliveness: Unlock new levels of self-expression and creativity. Through movement, art, storytelling, sacred dance, and song, you’ll clear internal blocks and let your authentic voice and feminine genius flow. You’ll reconnect with your sensuality and intuition as sources of power and inspiration. Expect to return home feeling more alive, creative, and comfortable in your skin than you’ve felt in years.

Holistic Renewal: Nourish your body, mind, and spirit in a holistic way. This journey isn’t about pushing or exhausting yourself; it’s about rejuvenation, REMEMBRANCE of your life's vitality. With daily embodied practices (gentle yoga, stretching, breathwork, meditation, etc.), healthy local cuisine and herbs, time in the outdoors, and soul-nourishing rituals, you’ll experience a full-spectrum renewal. You’ll leave spiritually inspired, physically replenished and grounded; ready to re-enter your life from a place of peace and sacred REMEMBRANCE.

Experience Overview

Our 11-day pilgrimage unfolds across the enchanting landscapes of Southern France, in regions rich with legend and sacred feminine history. We begin by gathering in Marseille, on the Mediterranean coast, and then trace a path through ancient Provence into the mystical Occitanie region.

Along the way, we immerse ourselves in story-rich holy places that carry a piece of the Remembrance journey.  These places are where Mary Magdalene’s memory lives on and where Black Madonna shrines have endured, healed, and inspired for centuries.

We move between sea-swept chapels, quiet cave sanctuaries, and hilltop villages where the sacred feminine has been honored for centuries. Along the way, we weave ritual and story, embodiment and stillness while opening you to the invitation of bringing in what new vibrancy is being called in for yourself and the world.

To protect site privacy and keep our pace responsive to the land, weather, and local festivals, we share the detailed day-by-day itinerary with confirmed guests in your Welcome Packet after you reserve your place. Questions may be asked about this in your call. Expect depth without rush, beauty without crowds, and a rhythm that allows your entire being to integrate as we go.

Importantly, this itinerary is rich with intention and meaning. We believe pilgrimage is a posture, not a checklist. You will notice a gentle rhythm to our days (detailed below), ensuring that you have time to truly receive the energy of each place and moment. Yes, you will see awe-inspiring sites and touch relics of deep heritage but equally, you will have quiet afternoons to journal in a wildflower meadow, or sip tea at a café and integrate in solitude, or take a nap and simply be. The journey is carefully balanced between outward excursions and inward absorption so that your own experience can unfold organically without feeling like a tourist on a timetable.

Throughout the pilgrimage, your guides will share stories and teachings that bring each location to life: the legends of Mary Magdalene in France, the hidden meanings of the Black Madonnas, the intertwined tales of the sacred feminine across time. But more than talk, we emphasize practice. You’ll partake in daily rituals, from simple morning meditations to creative evening ceremonies, that help you embody what you’re learning. By walking these lands and engaging with them through ceremony, you become part of the continuing story. Our hope is that Southern France herself becomes a teacher and muse for you, and that you forge a deeply personal connection to the sacred feminine lineage that has been present on these lands for centuries and that we honor greatly today.

Daily Flow

A Day in Remembrance has a gentle, nourishing rhythm. Here’s an example of what a day might feel like:

(Please note: This flow may vary on certain days – for instance, one day we may rise extra early for a special sunrise water ceremony in a mountain stream, and another day we might be out later enjoying an evening in a vibrant town square. But even on fuller days, we maintain a mindful pace, ensuring you have support and balance.)

Presence is the priority.

We intentionally practice more being than doing. You won’t be inundated with lectures or busy-work. Instead, you’ll find yourself breathing deeply, listening to your own inner voice, and engaging all your senses; whether it’s the taste of fresh bread, the sight of a rose-strewn altar, or the feeling of cool stone beneath your palm in a sacred cave.

This daily rhythm and continuance of sacred feminine lineage is something you can take home, adapting morning prayers or evening reflections into your regular life. It’s a template for living in Remembrance.

Alcohol and Sacred Space

We are building a clear, devotional container, sans alcohol, so your body can soften, your heart can open, and the work can go deep without cross-currents. Many women are tending seasons, nervous systems, or healing journeys with alcohol; honoring that, our group spaces, meals, site visits, circles, ceremonies, and shared transport are alcohol-free. You will be beautifully supported with herbal infusions, sparkling waters, seasonal mocktails, and non-alcoholic aperitifs so the ritual of sharing a drink is still present, simply reimagined.

Sovereignty matters. If you choose to have alcohol during your personal free time, we ask that you sit out the next group activity or ceremony and rejoin when you’re fully clear. There is no shame here; just care for safety, consent, and the integrity of the work. Thank you for helping us keep this field steady for every woman and for the sacred places that host us.

Accommodations –
Your Home Away from Home

We’ve chosen exquisite accommodations that are themselves a part of the pilgrimage experience: peaceful, soulful, and comfortable.

The flow from one site to the other is intentional and meant to be a part of the pilgrimage experience. For the first portion of our retreat, we’ll be staying at a historic Château estate in Camargue, surrounded by nature and old-world charm.

Envision spacious rooms with antique touches and modern artistic amenities, gardens with roses and wisteria, a swimming pool overlooking the bamboo garden. This private sanctuary allows us to drop into retreat mode deeply; it’s quiet and secluded, perfect for morning walks or quiet time in the gardens.

The second half of the journey, we move toward the sacred sites in the Occitanie, we’ll stay in a boutique Villa. This homey villa offers cozy rooms with en-suite bathrooms, comfortable common areas, a pool and sauna, and immediate access to the wild beauty of the surrounding hills with extraordinary views of the countryside and starlit skies. Whether you opt for a Shared Room (twin beds with a roommate, carefully matched) or a Private Room, know that we have prioritized comfort, cleanliness, and character. We want you to feel at home well-rested, and elegantly cared for.

(Note: Private rooms for the entire trip are limited (only 2 available). Having a private room for 1/2 of the pilgrimage is also possible (also 2 available). If having your own space is important to you, please reserve that option early. Shared rooms are paired with another participant; many women make wonderful relationships this way!)

Meals 

Food is love in France, and we’ve ensured you’ll experience the nourishment of lovingly prepared meals throughout our pilgrimage.

Each day will include fresh, abundant breakfasts (from flaky croissants and farm-fresh eggs to yogurt, fruit, and gluten-free muesli – we cater to all diets). Lunches will vary: on excursion days, expect delightful gourmet picnic lunches in scenic spots; imagine a spread of local cheeses, olives, crusty breads, salads and perhaps a sweet treat, enjoyed in a wild lavender meadow or by a sparkling stream.

On days when we’re at the Château, our private chef will craft delicious gastronomique farm-to-table lunches highlighting seasonal Provençal flavors. Dinners are times of community: some evenings, our in-house chef will prepare a family-style dinner (rustic tarts, nourishing soups, seasonal vegetables, and maybe a decadent dessert), and other nights we’ll dine out at handpicked local restaurants to taste the region’s specialties (like a seafood feast in a harbor village or traditional cassoulet near the mountains).

We celebrate Southern France through its table—cheeses from local dairies, herbs of Provence, Camargue-salted fare—served with elegant non-alcoholic pairings.

DIETARY NEEDS

We will do our best to accommodate your preferences and sensitivities. While rural Southern France doesn’t offer the same breadth of specialty products you may find in the U.S., we plan menus with care and communicate your needs to our chefs well in advance. As a rule, our meals lean toward delicious, seasonal, minimally processed dishes that steer away from common aggravators; heavy sauces, excess sugar, and ultra-processed ingredients. Expect abundant fresh vegetables and herbs, legumes and grains, broths and salads, with optional regional cheeses, meats, and eggs.

If you live with a medical diet or severe allergy, please tell us early. We’ll coordinate thoughtfully and may suggest bringing a few shelf-stable favorites for ease and comfort. While we cannot guarantee certified allergen-free kitchens in every venue, we will label thoughtfully and care well for you. Nourishing the body is part of the sacred journey.

Accommodations –
Your Home Away from Home

We’ve chosen exquisite accommodations that are themselves a part of the pilgrimage experience: peaceful, soulful, and comfortable.

Getting There & Getting Around

We aim to make your travel as smooth as possible.

Your journey begins in Marseille, France. We ask that you arrive at Marseille Provence Airport (MRS) by noon on June 1, 2026 where you will be greeted by the Remembrance team. The retreat has been purposefully designed that you can come in the weekend before (and stay the weekend after) to enjoy other parts of France such as the Riviera, Paris, or other spots that call you and peek your fancy. We will provide some suggested hotels and connections we have made in your Welcome Package.

From the airport, we will all travel together in our comfortable private vans to our first retreat site before heading to our accommodations. If you’ve had a long flight, don’t worry, we will welcome you with a picnic and a gentle pace.

Throughout the pilgrimage, we have private transportation for our group. The vans are air-conditioned and spacious enough for everyone and luggage. Drives between sites range from 30 minutes to 2 hours (at the most) on a given day, and we’ll break up longer drives with stops (like a cafe pause, picnic, or scenic viewpoint).

We intentionally keep travel days unhurried; this is not a bus tour with endless hours on the road. It’s a meandering pilgrimage where the journey is as enjoyable as the destination. You’ll get to soak in the landscape, from the rolling vineyards to the rugged foothills, without the stress of navigation. We try our best to stagger travel days with non-travel days so there isn't too much go-go-go.

On June 11, the last day, we will return you to Marseille by midday. We’ll coordinate with everyone’s onward travel plans to ensure you catch flights or trains comfortably. If you wish to extend your stay in France, we’re happy to provide guidance for that as well.

Pace, Physicality & Accessibility

While we do visit multiple sites, we have designed the schedule to avoid exhaustion. We typically have one outing per day and ample downtime. Of course, pilgrimage by nature involves some walking and time on your feet: you might be strolling cobblestone streets, climbing a small hill to a chapel, or walking in a forest path.

Of course, pilgrimage by nature involves some walking and time on your feet: you might be strolling cobblestone streets, climbing a small hill to a chapel, or walking in a forest path.

The physical intensity is generally low to moderate. We won’t be undertaking any very strenuous hikes; the most physically demanding activity might be a walk up to a cave or a tower with stairs, but we take it slow and provide alternatives if needed (for example, if you can’t make a steep climb, we’ll ensure you still have a meaningful experience nearby). If you can comfortably walk for 20-30 minutes at a stretch and handle a few stairs, you should be absolutely fine.

That said, your well-being is our priority. We are very flexible; if anyone needs a break or feels unwell, we adjust plans as necessary. We encourage listening to your body, there’s no push to “keep up.” If you have specific mobility concerns, please reach out so we can discuss options and plan accordingly. We can arrange alternatives such as shorter walks, additional rest time, vehicle access where possible, or a companion staying back with you, so you’re supported every step of the way.

Finally, note that we embrace a bit of digital detox to enhance presence. While you will have access to your phone/internet at our lodgings (and we won’t confiscate anything!), we will invite the group to minimize phone use during group activities and at sacred sites. We’ll set some loving guidelines around this, so that we can really unplug from daily distractions and drop into the here and now. (Emergency contact info will be provided to your loved ones so they can reach our staff if needed. You won’t be cut off, just gently tuning out of the digital noise for a while.)

If any logistical detail is causing you anxiety, big or small, please know you can ask us questions anytime. We are here to help make this journey easeful for you, from the moment you consider joining until you’re safely back home.

Everything about this Remembrance Pilgrimage is designed for you to drop into the wisdom of what is calling to your soul. Reading this now you may feel a sense of intrigue... a slight pull from something deep within, or an energy that's stirring and awakening. Allow us to explore what that is together and see if this is right for you by scheduling a Wayfinding Call through the link below.

Together, Karen and Vanessa form a dynamic duo
devoted to your journey.

They are soul sisters and have an intuitive rapport that makes the whole experience seamless. You will feel their combined presence and love as a harmonious dance of masculine containment and feminine flow: everything organized and safe, yet always flowing with room for magic. They are both deeply compassionate, good-humored, and faithful about you receiving what you came for.

"Those who have journeyed with us before speak of a bond that lasts; we hold Remembrance with the same heart."

(Curious to know more about Karen or Vanessa’s backgrounds and qualifications? Feel free to schedule a call; they’d love to personally connect and share more of their story and why this matters so much to each of them with you.)

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

"For the first time, I felt truly safe and seen. I came home with a sacred rhythm that still guides me each day."
– Anonymous Vanessa Retreat Participant

"Working with Vanessa has been eye opening for me. I have taken things that I have learned from the retreat days and have implemented them in my daily life (and still using them YEARS -later). Each thing brings me closer to nature & closer to my true self. It is truly a magical time."
- Elyssa M. Wright, DC, CACCP, IBCLC

"Vanessa's retreat experiences are a reminder of our greatness personally and also as a community. I have shown up to the gatherings feeling defeated & stressed and every time walk out feeling replenished and inspired. Every part of me (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual) gets a gift from the variety of offerings. From making tea blends and lip balms to learning nourishing meditations and what foods to eat to feel the best in my body. I feel truly held by the sacred feminine, in every stage of life or season I am in. Pure magic. Pure Love."
- Janis Wille MA, LPC, ATR, RYT, Expressive Arts Therapist at Creative Conscious Connections LLC

"I loved Vanessa’s Women’s Program so much that I took it three times! It felt as if it had been created just for me—perfectly aligned with the things I’m most passionate about. I was able to connect deeply with like-minded women, spend a lot of healing time in nature, and learn how to honor the spirits of the land as well as connect with my ancestors for guidance and support. We explored the wisdom of medicinal plants and how to create healing medicine from them, enjoyed nourishing, delicious meals, and most importantly, I gave myself the gift of it all. It was, without a doubt, the most transformative and rewarding program I’ve ever participated in."
- Lisi Kempton, Soul Tree Operations

“Karen’s Soul Writer Retreat was one of the most transformative experiences of my life. She created a space where I felt completely safe to go deep, to tell the truth, and to hear the truth inside myself. The way she guides is both gentle and laser clear. She helped me see the story beneath the story, the part of me that had been waiting for years to be expressed. By the time I left, I not only had more clarity in my writing, I had clarity in my life. Karen gave me practices and a rhythm I still use every morning. I walked away feeling aligned, grounded, and so much more connected to my own voice and calling.”
- A.P. , Soul Writer Retreat Participant

“Working with Karen changed the way I move through the world. She has a gift for taking big spiritual insights and turning them into simple, daily actions that really stick. After spending time with her in retreat and in her programs, I finally understood what it means to live devotion in ordinary moments. Karen saw possibilities in me that I had forgotten, and she reflected them back with such clarity that I started showing up differently in every part of my life. Months later, I am still using the practices she taught me, and I feel calmer, more confident, and more aligned than I have in years.”
- Misty Balkin, Private Client

“Being in Karen’s space feels like exhaling after holding your breath for too long. At her retreats and circles, I always feel deeply welcomed and never judged. She has this rare ability to honor your sovereignty while gently guiding you toward the truth you already carry. Karen’s presence regulates you. Her questions open doors you didn’t know were there. And her wisdom, both spiritual and practical, helps you weave what you experience back into daily life. I left my time with her feeling steadier, more resourced, and more connected to my own feminine genius.”
- Cheryl Houser, Private Client 


While many people have had positively transformational experiences through the work of Vanessa and Karen, it's important see for yourself if you resonate with their unique approach and energy.

The Wayfinding Call is an opportunity to connect and get a feel for whether this is a good match for you.

BONUSES

When you join Remembrance Pilgrimage, you receive a few special bonuses that enrich your experience before and during the retreat:

Monthly Pre-Retreat Circles (Virtual):

Starting in January and leading up to June, we host a monthly online gathering for all confirmed pilgrims. (Think of these as cozy fireside chats via Zoom.) In these one-hour circles, we’ll begin to cultivate our sisterhood and prepare our hearts.

Each call will have a theme relevant to the journey. Every call will allow space for sharing intentions and excitement too!

These preparatory circles help you arrive in France already connected and grounded. By retreat time, you won’t be showing up as strangers; you’ll feel like a circle of sisters who have been journeying inwardly together and becoming familiar with the content of what we will explore.

Attendance is optional but highly encouraged (recordings are provided too). Gathering beforehand helps ease pre-travel jitters and deepen your commitment to yourself, as well as, become familiar with the community of sacred feminine pilgrims.

(Bonus value: consider it several bonus mini-retreats before the big trip!)

RemembrancE Welcome Package:

Who doesn’t love good mail? Upon registering, you will receive a beautiful welcome package delivered to your doorstep. Inside, you’ll find a curated collection of goodies to support and symbolize your journey. We also include practical items like a packing checklist and a booklet about the sacred sites we’ll visit.

This welcome box is our way of saying hello and welcome in a tangible form, and it’s meant to stir your anticipation and begin the ritual of Remembrance from the moment you open it. Your pilgrimage truly begins at home.

Pricing

We offer two retreat package options to suit your preference for accommodation. Transparent pricing – no hidden fees. Here are the options:

Shared Room – $7,995 USD:

Enjoy the full pilgrimage experience in a shared room. You will have your own comfortable bed, and we pair you thoughtfully based on preferences and sleep rhythms. Room configurations vary by property; most are twin shares, and at times a larger room may be shared by a small sister pod in our villa settings. All shared options include everything in “What’s Included” and many women cherish the quiet companionship that unfolds in these rooms.

Semi-Private Room – $9,995 USD:

Here you will have pleasure of the best of both worlds! In the Chateau you have your own private room and at the villa you will have the opportunity to share a room with a fellow sister. This allows for you to seetle into the experience in a more private setting while still having the opportunity of a deeper connection with a roomie too. Only 2 available. 

Private Room – $11,995 USD:

Treat yourself to a private sanctuary each night. You’ll have your own room with a double/queen bed throughout the retreat. If privacy is a priority, please reserve early. The Private Room package includes all the same meals, activities, and goodies; the higher rate reflects the single occupancy accommodation. Many women choose this option if they know they need alone time to recharge deeply; you’ll group connection and a personal oasis. Only 2 available.

* It is possible if traveling with a bestie, daughter, or sister and would like to share a bed,
the cost is $5,995 USD for the additional person in your private room.

DEPOSIT + PAYMENT

A $1,999 USD deposit is required to secure your place on the Remembrance Pilgrimage. This deposit is non-refundable (see FAQ on cancellation policy), and it counts toward your total retreat price. The remaining balance can be paid in one lump sum or on a payment plan. Our standard payment plan is 4 monthly installments after the deposit, with the full balance due by May 1, 2026.

For example, if you choose the Shared Room: $1,999 down, then four payments of roughly $1,249 each between December 2025 and April 2026 (exact schedule can be tailored based on your signup date). We do not charge any interest or fees for using the payment plan, it’s there to support you.

We believe in honoring your commitment with clear, fair policies. If your heart is saying a full-bodied “Yes!”, you may opt to Reserve your spot now with the $1,999 deposit; this guarantees your place immediately. If you prefer to talk to us first to ensure it’s a mutual fit, you can absolutely do that (see How to Join below). Either way, once your deposit is received and you’re accepted into the retreat, you’ll get a confirmation email with a receipt, followed shortly by your welcome package and access to the bonuses.

Refund Policy:

We understand that unexpected things happen in life. Our deposit is non-refundable because it represents your commitment and enables us to secure venues and plans. That said, we do offer partial refunds on additional payments if you need to cancel by a certain date (to be detailed in our terms and agreement). If an emergency arises and you cannot attend, you may transfer your spot to another qualified woman (with our approval) up until a month before the trip. We aim to be as compassionate as possible within the boundaries of what we can financially and logistically accommodate. We will provide the full written cancellation policy for you to review before you make your first payment, so you can make an informed decision.

Transparent and No Pressure:

You’ll notice we’re not into manipulative sales tactics. Our pricing is transparent; there are no surprise add-ons. We truly want each woman who comes to feel it’s worth every bit of time, energy, and money she invests and we’re confident it will be. If you have concerns about payments, reach out we might be able to work something out (like a customized payment schedule). Your commitment matters more to us than the form of payment.

A $1,999 USD deposit is required to secure your place on the Remembrance Pilgrimage. This deposit is non-refundable (see FAQ on cancellation policy), and it counts toward your total retreat price. The remaining balance can be paid in one lump sum or on a payment plan. Our standard payment plan is 4 monthly installments after the deposit, with the full balance due by May 1, 2026.

For example, if you choose the Shared Room: $1,999 down, then four payments of roughly $1,249 each between December 2025 and April 2026 (exact schedule can be tailored based on your signup date). We do not charge any interest or fees for using the payment plan, it’s there to support you.

We believe in honoring your commitment with clear, fair policies. If your heart is saying a full-bodied “Yes!”, you may opt to Reserve your spot now with the $1,999 deposit; this guarantees your place immediately. If you prefer to talk to us first to ensure it’s a mutual fit, you can absolutely do that (see How to Join below). Either way, once your deposit is received and you’re accepted into the retreat, you’ll get a confirmation email with a receipt, followed shortly by your welcome package and access to the bonuses.

Refund Policy:

We understand that unexpected things happen in life. Our deposit is non-refundable because it represents your commitment and enables us to secure venues and plans. That said, we do offer partial refunds on additional payments if you need to cancel by a certain date (to be detailed in our terms and agreement). If an emergency arises and you cannot attend, you may transfer your spot to another qualified woman (with our approval) up until a month before the trip. We aim to be as compassionate as possible within the boundaries of what we can financially and logistically accommodate. We will provide the full written cancellation policy for you to review before you make your first payment, so you can make an informed decision.

Transparent and No Pressure:

You’ll notice we’re not into manipulative sales tactics. Our pricing is transparent; there are no surprise add-ons. We truly want each woman who comes to feel it’s worth every bit of time, energy, and money she invests and we’re confident it will be. If you have concerns about payments, reach out we might be able to work something out (like a customized payment schedule). Your commitment matters more to us than the form of payment.

The Invitation!

Dear one, if you’ve read this far, something in your heart is already lighting your Remembrance. This pilgrimage is not a typical getaway; it’s a return to what is real and sacred in you. It’s a chance to step out of the noise and busyness, and step into a living prayer of unlimited possibilities.

To be connected with an ancient lineage of sacred feminine wisdom and live it today. Together we will create a community of presence, where each woman’s divinity is reflected back to her in the eyes of her sisters, the landscape, and the united sacred feminine lineage.

We will laugh, cry, learn, unlearn, and open. We will honor the holy of the Earth, the Goddess, and ourselves. And we will anchor a rhythm of devotion and upliftment that can carry you forward for years to come.

If your soul is saying “yes,”
we warmly invite you to join us.

There are only a handful of spots, intentionally, because intimacy and authenticity are paramount in this work. If you feel that mix of excitement and nerves, that often means you’re on the brink of something truly meaningful. Trust that.

We are here to answer your questions, to hold your hand through any doubts, and to joyfully welcome you if and when the time is right.
