Lions Gate Portal

Women’s EmPOWERment and Activation Retreat

Invoking the FIERCE WILD WOMAN

August 7th-10th

@ The Trout Lake Abbey

Trout Lake, Wa

Rise. Activate.Empower.

The Lion’s Gate ignites, and with it,

the ancient remembrance stirs.

We gather under celestial fire to awaken the untamed feminine—

the one who howls in the night,

weeps without apology,

and dances barefoot with the stars.

This is not just a retreat—it’s a return.

A return to the wildness we buried,

the wisdom we carry,

and the fierce grace that pulses within our bones.

Here, under the mountain and sky, together we rise as one.

Fierce. Wild and Unstoppable

WE’RE STRONGER TOGETHER

The strength held within a circle of women is like no other…

Fierce compassion, primal wisdom, and radical vulnerability.

Now more than ever women need to gather in intentional circles.

Let us speak our voices, let us been seen, heard and witnessed.

Let us be held unconditionally in our grief, our fears, our sorrows 

and our RESILIENCE. 

The time is NOW.

The world needs us.  

Our families, our friends and our communities need us to RISE. 

and when we rise, WE RISE TOGETHER, 

holding each other, supporting each other, and encouraging each other

to keep. fucking. going.

it's sooo important…

Lions Gate Portal: Manifestation and Activation

Lions Gate is when the Sun aligns directly with Sirius, Orion, and the Earth.

The alignment is believed to be a powerful amplification of

Courage, Growth and Expansion.

This portal is the time to

TAKE ACTION!

BE THE CHANGE!

and SAY YES to who you are BECOMING.

The Lion’s Gate portal is potent time of transformation. Aligned with the planetary rhythms of the Earth and Sky, this retreat offers space to reconnect with your inner Wild Woman..not as something chaotic, but as something true and resonant.

In this sacred space, we remember that our strength is in our softness, our power is in our presence, our wisdom is in our intuition and our growth is supported when we stand together.

NOW is the time to step into who you are becoming, with intention, with heart, and with sisterhood.
