Weaving in love and acceptance with my WiseWomen group this Mothers Day weekend.

‘Our Beloved’ Earth Mother takes us beyond traditional roles so we can come back to nature and back to what allows us to be in right relationship. A relationship with ourselves that brings in the opportunity for creativity and connection.

Circling up with other Women for ceremony and soaking, movement and rest. It’s all here for us.

Our WiseWomen Retreat ‘23 provides access to the historic and private Everson Ranch on Saturday.

We carpool over to the property 4 miles east of Joyful Journey and once arrived have a brief tour of the land, gardens and animals.


We will take a short hike up to the reservoir and for those who prefer or need assistance, there is a golf cart to ride instead of walk.

At the reservoir we gather in silent meditation, participate in rituals led by Cynn and have time for journaling and reflecting during the SoloQuest portion of the day. The rituals include honoring the land and animals, the seven directions and each other. You will craft a tool designed to keep deep contact with ‘Our beloved earth mother’.


After our time at the reservoir, hang out at the barn, learn about the history of this land and eat a delicious locally grown lunch prepared for us by Chef Scott. Truly an amazing feast !!


This day trip is special and sets our WiseWomen retreat apart from other visits to the hot springs. This experience will support your ability to connect with the land of the San Luis Valley and those who have come before us and those which follow.

Retreat price $555 + cost of lodging
Lodging at Joyful Journey includes meals
