Resting together in the deep sanity of nature and our own wild hearts, we will rejuvenate from the core, lighten up, and step fully into our soul's truest potential through sound and silence, music and the creative arts, intuition, council, and earth wisdom.


Everyone welcome! No previous singing or art experience necessary.

The Setting

The setting is a beautiful private home at the foot of Mt. Sopris, 40 minutes from Aspen, surrounded by oak and aspen forests. Well-fed and comfortably situated in pleasant semi-private rooms, we will take the time to listen into the natural vibrant expression of who we really are. From this place of connection and inspiration we can then speak, sing, and breathe ourselves and our lives back into sanity, renewal, and aligned action. Tuning in and relaxing in good company, we can once again remember that in the deepest sense, there's no place to get to. WE'RE ALREADY HOME.

The Adventure

Many of us are now walking through personal challenges in our lives, and certainly what's happening globally at the moment underlines the importance of empowering our Feminine sensibilities and our deep sense of compassion and creativity. (It's that inclusive and all-embracing balance of right brain/left brain experience which we already have full access to, and just need a good jump-start to re-activate from time to time.)

The lawyers need to be hanging out with the artists, the wild women with the quiet ones, the healers with the wheeler-dealers....laughing, talking, dreaming, singing, doing art together, immersing ourselves in nature, and remembering who we are beneath and beyond all appearances. (Many amazing stories & connections happen over the chopping block or around the breakfast table.)

This delightful retreat promises to be an auspicious opportunity for us all. We are now in the process of gathering a wonderful group of women. Please join us!

Comments from participants....

"Mmmmmm! It was an exquisite waveflow weekend. I particularly liked that you left your ego at the door and embodied your teachings. I've used the exercises to balance, on the spur of the moment, when I've found myself in uncomfortable situations....I could go on and on poetizing the delightful inner and outer work we did. You WERE an Authentic Voice!"

---Roz, Feng Shui Healer

"I am still getting tingles up and down my spine from your wonderful retreat, and I know I will be absorbing all that we experienced in the weeks to come......Starting a new business has allowed me so little time to renew my spiritual energy in the company of friends......I know it is essential to keep my reservoir full to overflowing and my intention clear. This weekend was just what I was craving. The volume has been turned up! Thank you so much for your clear, bright light. You are a treasure."

---Lindsay, Singer/Songwriter and Chef Extraordinaire

"Yahoo, wowee!! Our whole weekend could not have been any better. Your warm, compassionate, loving, generous, soulful, expressive, humorous and totally present way of being in the world will stay with me always. What great work we did!"

---Andrea, Classical Pianist, Composer, Teacher, and Vision Quester

"The chance of a lifetime is to be yourself."
