Pelvic Empowerment, Radical Self-Care & Connection To The Great Mother
An Eight Week Online Group Retreat From Winter Solstice to Valentine’s Day
Tuesday, December 21, 2021 - Sunday, February 13, 2022
Winter is a time for drawing inward, rejuvenating internal resources, sitting by the sacred fire sharing story and tending to what truly matters.
The invitation of winter is to re-enter the womb (hibernation sanctuary) and to become reacquainted with darkness as a primordial and necessary container providing rest and connection with the source of creation.
The gift of winter is to re-emerge in spring, born again and full of potential. Having shed old skin, you are now in deeper connection with your sacred purpose and vision for the seasons ahead.
As modern people, we have been disconnected from the old ways of alignment with the seasons, intergenerational wisdom sharing, and the women’s natural way of retreating into her sacred darkness every month.
We’ve been taught to be afraid of the dark.
Radical
The prefix “rad” means “of the root”. Times of intensity and uncertainty require grounding into the body and alignment with what truly matters. Get into your root body - your pelvis, sacrum, and core - and your heart so you can radically claim space for yourself and that which you truly love. Feel rooted to your purpose and feminine power.
Sensual
Be sensational! Experience your body as a wild, wise and holy vessel meant to delight in this life. If you’ve been doing just enough inner work and self-care to keep things chugging, you’re missing out on deeper levels of pleasure and connection. In Root Work, you will discover how your body delights in your attention and affection.
Ancestral
It is easy to feel isolated and alone during intense times and when you haven’t been fully supported on your healing journey. Remember, you are the dream of your ancestors and there is a team, seen and unseen rooting for you! Create space to connect with your allies and well ancestors through “real talk," cellular communication and spiritual connection.
Nurture yourself in new and deepened ways:
- Develop a self-care toolkit that includes breast, belly, and womb massage*, cervical palpation, pelvic steaming*, guided meditations, and visionary journeys
- Learn breathwork and visualization techniques that restore and revitalize your creative feminine energy
- Receive guidance on practices that boost fertility, soothe menstrual discomfort and nurture hormonal balance
- Experience embodied connection to the heart womb, Earth and Great Mother
*Root Work is open to pregnant, menstruating, perimenopausal, and women past their bleeding years. Some practices are contraindicated during pregnancy or for those with IUDs

Root Work Is Your Invitation To:
⁃ Journey inward and explore the sacred temple of your womb
⁃ Connect with your heart fire and commune with The Great Mother energy and source of creation
⁃ Share wisdom with your ancestors and other women on a similar path of wholeness
⁃ Get acquainted with your pelvic floor anatomy and feminine power
⁃ Release long-held tension
⁃ Make investments in your pleasure and joy
⁃ Improve your posture and body awareness
⁃ Feel more resourced, nourished, grounded and centered in the body
⁃ Reclaim guidance you wish you had received as young women and that which you desire to pass on to your daughters of body and spirit
Loving space will be held for the fears, experiences, and disappointments that may be present from the past created by birth loss, abortion, fertility challenges, abuse, and violations that may have disconnected you from your womb and feminine vitality.

"Participating in Jocelyn's workshop was a quick and powerful experience. I joke that it was like doing a year of therapy in an hour but it was true. I have been to many workshops for education and spirituality in my 20-year self-discovery journey, but I still find that it's rare and highly valuable to find someone who knows how to create the feeling that one is "peeling back the layers to your true/inner self" as you go through the workshop journey so effectively and time sensitively."
