Living Juicy ReWilding Campout
August 18-21, 2022We are gathering together as sisters to
share our hearts, clear our wombs, open our minds, cleanse our bodies, and to
free the wild feminine within.
Live the most Juicy Life you can Imagine.
We are SO worth it!
Do you hear the call?
Life can be chaotic, sometimes it can feel like we are off track, like we are missing something. That is more of the maya, more of the illusion. You are always exactly where you need to be to recieve the Medicine from the Moment. Sometimes that medicine may be showing you something that you have outgrown or is no longer working for you and sometimes the Medicine of the Moment shows you what is! This retreat is a return to your personal power, a remembrance of your sovereignty to know what you need, when you need it…. to trust yourself, your inner guidance, above all else.
We will be using ancient practices that are now being scientifically proven to be extremely effective in these modern times, practices that have been passed down for thousands of years because they work! These practices increase our capacity to discern what is best for us, they give us the energy and motivation to take the leap we may need to take to create a life we love, they give us the tools and techniques for the kind of self-care that will result in self-love.
AND they are some of the JUICIEST practices I know!
Healing the Sisterhood Wound
We all carry the illusion of betrayal in our linage and it shows itself through competition, comparison, and anxiety when gathering together with womxn. We can heal this. We can create a new story. We can access the memory of healthy sisterhood connections and remember how vital that is to our health and well-being.
There was a time, not that long ago, when women did not have rights, when we were property, when we were not allowed to gather together in sisterhood, and suffered great consquences, even death, if we were caught doing this. This created wounding in our collective.
However, there was a longer time before all of that, that we spent most of our time together with women. Working together, raising our families together, laughing, crying, celebrating and grieving.
Nuclear family is not the way. It does not work. Deep inside we remember the truth: It Takes a Village.
Coming together, in spite of anxiety and insecurities is the first step in healing the wounds of separation and the tendency to play small and minimize the importances of our feminine connection.

At the Living Juicy Womxn’s Retreat we be exploring the real medicine of Tantra and tuning into ourselves and each other on the subtle realm. This is not about sex practices, although there may be some juicy discussions, the real Tantra is about finding the simple and subtle pleasures in all of life, and using the energy of pleasure and satisfaction to manifest our dreams.
Tune in to Nature • Tune in to Desire • Tune in to Spirit
Using practices such as yoga, mudra, mantra, mandala and more, will take us into the stillness of the heart where we will call forth and activate our dharma – or truest heart’s longing. From this place we will find our powerful intention or sankalpa and utilizing the practice of yoga nidra, we will imprint it on our subconscious. Participants will be given the tools to make lasting change and the work we do in the retreat will help immensely towards the fulfillment of life purpose and deep longings.
How Do We Do This?
By utilizing ancient techniques that are being proving scientifically effective today. Techeniques like meditation, breathwork, working in harmony with your body type, and harnessing the creative power of the Quantum Field to plant the seeds of your pure potential.
TANTRA
The word Tantra: is Sanskrit and literally means, “a continuum, or unbroken stream [of energy].”
The term Tantra refers first (1) to the continuum of vital energy that sustains all existence, and second (2) to the class of knowledge and practices that harnesses that vital energy, thereby transforming the practitioner.
AYURVEDA
Ayurveda is one of the world’s oldest holistic healing systems. It was developed more than 5,000 years ago in India. The literal Sanskrit translation is the ‘science of life’. It’s based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the mind, body, and spirit and utilizes the elements available in all things to bring balance and well being.
YOGA
In Sanskrit Yoga means ‘to yoke’ or to find union with your higher self. It is more than just stretching, yoga is a spiritual practice that incorporates many tools, all with the intent to help quiet the mind and prepare the body to connect deeply to the heart.
We will be guided by Yoga teachers such as Leia Jones and Mahadevi with over 500 hrs of training in the vedic sciences.
MANTRA
A mantra is a sacred utterance, a numinous sound, a syllable, word or phonemes, or group of words in Sanskrit that has psychological and/or spiritual powers. Mantra, whether chanted, whispered, or silently recited, is a powerful meditation and therapy tool.
Om or Aum is the sacred premordial sound. It encapsulates everything in the Universe. We will be working with both Sanskrit mantras, like Om, as well as English mantras such as affirmations like “All Is Well”.
MUDRA
A mudrā (muːˈdra; “seal”, “mark”, or “gesture”) is a symbolic or ritual gesture performed by the hands, often used in practicing Hinduism and Buddhism; it is a spiritual gesture that acts as an “energetic seal of authenticity”. Mudras act to stimulate different parts of the body involved with breathing and to affect the flow of energy in the body and even one’s mood.
{Shakti mudra can be used to calm the body, relieve stress and promote sound sleep.}
Location
The retreat will be held at Jewel Creek Studio Barn in Floyd, VA and includes workshops, meals and camping.

Aida Real
A centering metaphor for Aida´s work is that of nourishment and sustainance. Body food, soul food, sensual food, intellectual food, elemental food, spiritual food—these are her media, her loves, her offerings.
After experiencing an idyllic childhood in rural Mexico, Aida’s coming of age as a young adult in the concrete metropolis of Mexico City brought her life’s purpose and the Earth’s needs into sharp clarity: feed the World goodness.
This has taken Aida far down the paths of Biodynamic Agriculture, the Aztec and Lakota Temazcal (sweatlodge) ceremony, indigenous and holistic medicine, women circles and Yoni Egg tribes. Aida is a certified Shiatsu practitioner through the Buddhist Center of Mexico City, a Reiki and massage therapist through the Massage School of Mexico and a Magnified Healing practitioner.
Aida is a truth speaker. A mother. A pollinator. A medicine woman. An intellectual. An entreprenuer. A seer. A human.
