About the Program
Awake Goddess Untamed was created to stoke the fires of adventure and creation, the fierce furnace of the feminine within you all. Embracing the wisdom of the four archetypes, yoga, the Vedas, sacred plant medicine, and indigenous culture, you will steep yourself in movement, ritual, fellowship, deep reflection, and authentic expression. This is not a retreat, this is a journey.
A remembrance of your sacred dance, like walking an ancient path that you know by heart. Re-wilding is the heroine’s journey of transmutation. An expedition to the jungle of your souls to bring forth the medicine of the wild. Together, you will frolic in your powers as lovers, warriors, wise women, and enchantresses, in turn becoming the medicine that the world needs. Time is of the essence.
Four Elemental Archetypes
The number four has a special meaning in the wheel of life. It represents four seasons: winter, spring, summer, and fall; four directions: north, east, south, and west; four elements: air, fire, water, and earth; and four archetypes: wise woman, lover, warrior, and enchantress.
These elements, cycles, and archetypes reside in all things. They are the rhythms that animate life and reside in the stories and myths that humanity has told throughout the ages. You will invite the primal power of these archetypes into your lives for transformation.
1. Water: The lover and sensuality
Enjoy sensuous activities that inspire ecstatic play. Dance barefoot underneath the starry sky, drum to the unique rhythm of your own soul, bathe yourself in nature’s embrace, swim at secluded beaches, and let the ocean cleanse you. You will learn about the true meaning of Tantra and the sacred union of the masculine and feminine within.
2. Fire: The warrior and strength
You will awaken the warrior within you through yoga and pranayama. Stoke your inner fire through courageous movement. You will sharpen your mind with meditation and mindfulness practices. You will remember the ancestral integrity in your bones by traversing through Hawaii’s diverse, volcanic landscapes.
3. Earth: The wise woman and spirituality
Healing begins inside with the understanding that everything has spirit. You will learn how to cultivate plants for high-vibrational healing and nourishment. Come together in a ceremonial circle with your tribe of wild women and release karmic bonds that no longer serve you. Together, you will manifest your intentions.
4. Air: The enchantress and sovereignty
Experience the majesty of the sacred valleys of the far north where the Great Kamehameha III, unifier of Hawaii was born. Here you are moved to take a higher perspective, look back at the path of your lives, and see how every twist and turn has led you to your own point in the cosmos. With grace and sovereignty, you move forward, unified in power to the next great adventure of your lives.
