Aligning with the Seasons, Directions, and Archetypes

This event is all inclusive meaning you get three nights lodging, registration, 3 meals a day, and the complete schedule of activities. 

EVENT DETAILS:

Join us for the Second Regional In-Person CAW Gathering in Red Feather Lakes, CO.

www.dralamountain.org

Please Join us in opening our hearts, minds, souls, and spirit to the messages from nature as we explore the natural alignment between the Elements of Air, Fire, Water, and Earth; the Four Seasons; and the Archetypes.

We will explore how the ancient wisdom and energies of the Elements can guide us toward harmony and balance. These foundational energies of creation align with each of the Four Directions, the four Seasons, and the four Archetypes of the Feminine journey. They hold powerful insights and guidance that, when understood and integrated, help us tap into a greater sense of connection with our purpose, integrity, power, and inner peace.

In this unique gathering in the beautiful mountains of Colorado, you’ll discover how each of the four Elements, Seasons, and Archetypes is aligned with one of the four core stages of a woman’s journey: Maiden, Mother, Matriarch, and Crone. We honor the wisdom embodied in each stage.

We welcome you to join us as we awaken together the Wisdom of the Elements within the joy of connection and community.

For those who have attended gatherings before, expect to see our old CAW/CC favorites - Storytelling, Wisdom Circles, Workshops, Honoring the Elders and our Follies. If you are new to us, we look forward to you experiencing these wonderful features for yourself!
