Limited Spaces Available – Book Your Retreat Now!Have you ever felt Love so deeply you know it HAD to be more about God than the person?
Have you ever felt disconnected from those in your life? Do you struggle with putting others on pedestals and relying on them for your happiness and connection to Love, aka God?
Or maybe you just love Goddess aka Earth so much you feel continuous grief and gratitude all at the same time?
Do you want to change the pattern of attracting the unavailable and being abandoned in your relational field?
A sacred space for you to explore & worship
We will spend five days in deep ceremony, worshipping with our Body through song, Earth rituals, dance, intimacy and relational practices, embodied touch, yoga and Yoni mirror and mapping practice, self touch (consent-based only)
What does embodiment mean in the context of our spiritual practice? How do we dance in both dissolution and being humans here to serve?
Our connection to the Body acts as an intermediary in our spiritual journey. The feeling you have when alone in nature, sitting in the sun remembering the Love within you, crying at the feet of loss and betrayal, awakening in the pain of your core wound in ways that help you let go into a new layer of love - this is all a part of our path.
I have always been someone who thinks weddings are kinda weird, but I am also deeply romantic.
All the great mystics spoke through poetry and song of being brides to the Lord of Love Herself. Together we will create a cauldron that transforms our relational experiences of Love through tending to our connection to Absolute Love.
To worship the Goddess Earth, Kali, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Lalita, Mary Magdalene, and Black Madonna/Isis of course!
If your relationship to the Divine and Love within need some NRE (new relationship energy ,) you want to explore freeing yourself from ancestral pain in relationship, you are ready to embody the love you seek, you want to celebrate all the Love Goddess has given you in community…we are waiting for you!
We will explore the dating phase with fun and explorations including:
🌹 Yoni worship, self mapping and mirror practice,
🌹 The pain and ecstasy of this union through sacred singing and creative movement
🌹 Prepare ourselves to receive the direct transmission of eternal Love through Earth based ritual
🌹 Writing vows, creating messy art, eating meals together, offering prayers to the Temple of Love
🌹 Fire ceremony and Goddess ritual dance
🌹First moon blood right of passage ritual
🌹 Inner teen awakening rage and right relationship
We are going to dismantle the patterns in our system that believe love has to hurt all the time. We’re going to reimagine a world where God was not separate from us and the Earth, but within everything in existence, waiting for our acknowledgement.

Community Love
“Spending 4 days with a community where we can strip naked and lay the inner landscape of our hearts at our feet knowing they will be loved in all their truth is a gift. The truth of 13 women will forever be held in my heart as a mirror to my own truth and strength from the Wild Body Retreat. Adriana has a way of celebrating the feminine through ceremony and ritual with the goddess that creates healing through empowered choice, dance, self love, the power of poetry. Adriana is a mirror to owning our individual truth through inviting in vulnerability and connection. She showed us a way to saying YES to love in all its forms; and most importantly saying YES to the life we have been given to navigate over and over. I am forever changed by her and the retreat.” - Airen
It’s hard to put into words the transmission I received from being on retreat with Adriana. She led me back to the deepest love and connection to the Goddess and reminded me how to live in devotion to The Great Mystery. She led me back to the magic of ritual, song, and awakened my power, sensuality, and beautiful grief through dance. Witnessing Adriana gave me permission to show up in my own power, and the profound moments shared in a group of women opening their souls over four days together will be forever etched in my heart. The felt sense I have of this retreat is a deep sensation of connection, belonging, love, and being witnessed that I resource from daily. Adriana is a gift to anyone that is ready to receive her medicine.—Tammy chow
