2025 Summer Solstice Women’s Retreat “Leaning into the Archetypal Feminine For Authentic Strength, Orientation and Embodied Love”
June 20th-22nd at Many Rivers
This is an image of Psyche, the protagonist in a Greek tale. She is just one example of an archetypal character whose story reveals instructions for growth and maturation along the feminine path.
Join me for an exploration into the feminine using archetypal story telling, Kundalini Yoga, teachings on the feminine, embodiment exercises, creative activities and sound healing with the Symphonic Gong. In this retreat we will explore, identify, experience and root ourselves in the experience of the feminine consciousness using an array of methods that will leave participants feeling inspired, relaxed and connected.
“In essence, I am suggesting that 20th-century women have kept living for centuries in a male-oriented culture which has kept them unconscious of their own feminine principle. Now in their attempt to find their place in a masculine world, they have unknowingly accepted male values—goal-oriented life, compulsive drivenness, and concrete bread which fails to nourish their feminine mystery. Their unconscious femininity rebels and manifests in some somatic form.” - Marion Woodman
We will spend our retreat weekend here~ Enjoying our practices inside of the studio and having tea breaks and lunch on the lawn.

Sharing Circle
This may be for you if:
You have attended Anna’s Kundalini Yoga Classes, The Bone House Talks, or MotherCircle and are eager to delve deeper into the feminine path of embodiment, wisdom and healing.
You see Summer Solstice as a special time and you want to set aside time to celebrate in a ceremonial way.
You feel that the personal is political.
If you are able to be free from your responsibilities for Friday night and most of the day Saturday and Sunday on Solstice weekend.
If you have been doing work to heal your lineage.
If you have participated in the Adi Shakti Sadhana and would like to cap off that experience with a deep dive into that Mother Power of Kundalini Yoga
If you have the funds to liberate for this cause.
This may not be for you if:
You are looking for a yoga retreat where asana practice is the main focus.
You have responsibilities that won’t let you get away for the class times that weekend.
If you have other areas where you need to allocated your funds to.
If you need personalized individual attention more than a group experience.
If you have any other questions about whether this experience may be right for you, please reach out to me at anna@annaraupp.com and we can schedule a 15 minute zoom call.
With Sincerely Blessings to you on your path of Wholeness,
Sat Nam,
Anna
