Women’s Retreats with Lisa Marchiano

Stories are ancient medicine

Lisa’s retreats offer the chance to come together in nature with other Jungian-inclined women. Together, we experience the ancient medicine to be found in fairy tale, myth, and dreams. Throughout the millennia, the keepers and tellers of stories have for the most part been women. Fairy tales mark, with exquisite accuracy and poignancy, the main stations on the journey of a woman’s life.

When you join us on retreat, you’ll explore these stories in a whole new way: spoken out loud, and enriched by the shared wisdom of women of all different ages. You’ll be guided by Lisa and the group as you discover how these stories might apply to the difficulties of your own daily life. You’ll examine and deepen your dream work practice, and experiment with new techniques for dream recall and interpretation.

Stepping away from the routine of work and family into a circle of spirited, adventurous women is a profound opportunity for renewal. When our time together draws to a close, you'll re-enter daily life with a deeper connection to the sacred wisdom within, and a new understanding of the challenges you face.

“...A truly transformative experience. To get together in nature with such a special, smart, generous and kind group of women of all ages is something so rare and such a gift. The outdoor yoga was magical and the meals were nourishing. Lisa’s sessions were engaging and thought-provoking, as was the discussion with the whole group. I found Lisa and Jodi to be very generous with their time and energy for the group. I left feeling inspired with my cup filled and joints loose (from the yoga!). I will be returning!”

“The group Lisa and Jodi brought together was remarkable. Their experiences are not my experiences, yet there is a common thread binding them all together: one guided by a genuine curiosity about themselves and the world around them. So refreshing in a world filled with so much binary thinking. These women have stirred in me something deep that is just beginning to grow and rise to the surface. They challenged me, impressed me, informed me, surprised me, and shared a sacred space with me.”
