Soulful Sisterhood Collective’s
Women’s Medicine Circle Retreat
“When women come together and make a commitment to each other to be in a circle with a spiritual center, they are creating a vessel of healing and transformation for themselves, and a vehicle for change in their world.”
- Jean Shinoda Bolen
Beloved Women…
The world is calling for your unique gifts!
This sacred circle is intended to nurture and ignite your soul, empowering you to step into your purpose. Women are the force that will heal and transform the world, and through connection, we awaken our collective power and remember our true essence. We are stronger together. Let us awaken our strength and remember who we truly are. With hearts united, we can walk each other home.
Honoring Ancient Wisdom…
Plant medicines have been used for centuries by indigenous cultures worldwide as sacred tools for healing and transformation. These traditions are rooted in profound relationships with the plants, cultivated over time through deep communion and co-creation with the spirits of the plants. We honor and respect these practices and we acknowledge that they are part of cultural frameworks and wisdom traditions that we do not have direct access to. We choose not to appropriate these practices without training and permission.
Birthing New Traditions…
Rather than appropriating these traditions, we focus on cultivating personal relationships with the plants and crafting ceremonies that honor our unique connection and personal indigenous heritage. This approach allows us to work authentically with the medicines while respecting the cultural roots of their use. Through intentional practices and deep listening, we create ceremonial spaces that are both meaningful and grounded in our lineage.
These natural allies, which work synergistically with our healing intelligence, guiding us to release what no longer serves us and embrace our authentic, integrated self. They embody the wisdom of the Earth and the ancestors, guiding us to interface with deeper layers of our consciousness. Plant medicines awaken in us an experience of interconnectedness with the web of life and remind us of who we really are at the soul level. When used ceremonially, plant medicines amplify their healing potential, and within the nurturing energy of a safe and cohesive group, this transformative power becomes exponentially greater, fostering profound individual and collective healing.
What Makes Hearts Path Wellness Retreats Unique?
Our retreats blend ceremonial elements with therapeutic practices from Western traditions, including the psychotherapeutic use of plant medicines and psychedelics. With a focus on trauma-informed care and group dynamics, we create a safe, compassionate space that is particularly supportive for those with a history of trauma or mental health challenges. Our approach incorporates Internal Family Systems (IFS), Creative Arts Therapy, embodiment, singing and voice work, journaling, and group process to support reflection and growth.
Unlike more traditional ceremonial settings, we emphasize preparation and integration, essential yet often overlooked aspects of the healing process. This focus is woven throughout the weekend retreat and extends to the time before and after the experience. A week before the retreat, we host a Zoom preparation call to foster group connection and safety. After the retreat, we offer a follow-up integration call and ongoing individual or group integration support for those who wish to deepen their healing journey.
We believe integration is the most vital phase of the process, as it allows participants to fully embody and apply the insights and gifts revealed during the medicine journey. This thoughtful and holistic approach sets the foundation for meaningful transformation and lasting change.
The first ceremony was only the beginning…
Our vision is to create a recurring sanctuary of solace and healing—a sacred space you can return to time and time again. It is a space for the sacred practice of healing in community, where we journey together, dance our prayers, sing from the depths of our hearts, break open, and rise stronger within a circle of women.
Whether you were part of the first gathering or join us along the way, this is a medicine sangha of sacred sisterhood. Here, we are welcomed as we are, celebrated in our wholeness, and held tenderly as we fall apart to be reborn.
Women have been gathering in circles to heal and pray, since time immemorial. “Together, we will walk each other home.” - Ram Das

“A circle of women may just be the most powerful force known to humanity. If you have one, embrace it. If you need one, seek it. If you find one, for the love of all that is good and holy, dive in. Hold on. Love it up. Get Naked. Let them see you. Let them hold you. Let your reluctant tears fall. Let yourself rise fierce and love gentle. You will be changed. The very fabric of your being will be altered by this, if you allow it. Please, please allow it.”
―Jeanette LeBlanc
