"So many of us never really trusted that we have a subterranean treasure chest of gold inside. As we grow older our yearning to dive deep to retrieve and use the wisdom inside can falter in the wake of a culture who has not fully valued a woman's voice.
This is not a time of falling asleep, but of awakening to give ourselves to a world that desperately needs to hear our voices." ~Jade
"Word by word, the language of women so often begins with a whisper.”
― Terry Tempest Williams
What if we could listen deeply enough, and trust enough, that there is guidance for us and others in the form of stories, just waiting to be heard and written? What if one of our stories wants to be told to a bigger audience – beyond ourselves?
Join Jade and Lauren for five nights in the magical landscape of the Cochise Stronghold, in the Dragoon Mnts of southern AZ! We will wander in the wild territories of this ancestral landscape, welcome our night visitations, share the stories of our lives, and begin to allow our stories to be written.
Together we will imagine, dream, wander, and move our soul voices in our rarefied circle of women
to encourage them to grow strong and versatile...and audible.
We will learn specific tools and techniques for enhancing our writing and creating compelling narrative to be eventually shared with the wider world. Whether you come with a story you have been longing to tell for years, or you find a new one during our days together, we hope you will leave with something that is so reflective of your truth, and so well-written that you will want to share it with others, be that family, friends, or even published.
