Here's what other goddesses had to say about their
"Celebrate the Goddess Within" Retreat Experience:
"The Goddess retreat was an
overwhelmingly enlightening, nurturing, loving and
necessary experience for all beautiful sisters to
know their own power and being." ~ Alisa Wright
"The Goddess retreat was the

ceremony and service offered FAR exceeded my
expectations!" ~ Jennifer Hnat
"This retreat provided an

energy and synergy was like nothing else I have ever
experienced. I will most definitely return again and
again and again!" ~ Clare Calvo
"This is the place to find
serenity in nature. I've been to many retreats and

nurturing to my soul! ~ Talya Meldy
"This was a trip of a
lifetime. Come and play and let your Spirit soar!" ~
Nayelli Cardena
The Goddess is that all-knowing part of us, regardless
of gender.
She is far more than outward physical beauty.
She is the essence that springs forth from the depths of
creativity
that encompass the innocence of the child,
playfulness of the youth, and wisdom of the great
mother.
She is the place where all possibility lies,
birthing forth into light in the appropriate time
in accordance with nature and the natural rhythms of
life.
It is the feminine, the soft, nurturing, patient, and
supportive essence,
as well as, the dynamic strength and passionate vitality
of the spirit
that is the core to the creation of life as we know it.
That is the Goddess, the all encompassing power of the
feminine divine.

“Celebrate the Goddess
Within” & Sacred Rebirthing Ceremony
with Kerrie Dancing Butterfly Acknowledge, awaken, embrace and
share the radiant goddess that you are. In this playshop
we will uncover facets of our own essence that have been
dormant for far too long. Through this deep and powerful
discovery, we embrace and celebrate our true Divine
beauty. Learn specific tools to reclaim your power,
maintain your energy and radiate joy.
In the Sacred Rebirthing Ceremony we will journey with
the 4 directions, 4 elements and 4 seasons to experience
a full cycle of rebirth within our being. Through the
surrender of limited beliefs and patterns, the
engagement of Spirit for support and guidance, the
commitment of planting and nurturing own cosmic gifts
and then sharing the bounty and joy with others, we will
emerge feeling lighter, brighter, clearer and stronger
than EVER before.
Sacred Movement
Ceremonies & Yoga with Samantha Sweetwater
Soul Return - a somatic dance journey of death and
re-birth. Isis holds us as we release veils of pain,
shame, self-hatred and inauthentic expression. We
surrender to our inner knowing and reclaim the love,
light and wisdom held within body, heart and spirit.
Extasis Divinitus! - Shake your Shakti and Dance the
Freedom of your cellular, energetic and holographic
Selves! Breathe, purify and clarify your chakras and
your aura, and let the rhythm bring you home to your
true bliss as a divine manifestation of the Goddess!
PeaceBody
Yoga: Practicing together, we give the Body, Mind, Heart
and Soul the sacred waters of loving awareness, so that
peace has the opportunity to flower within. PeaceBody
Yoga integrates strength and surrender, movement and
stillness, power and gentleness. They dance, as Shakti
dances, awakening the full Rasa (scent and flavor!) of
life. Each practice begins with meditation, chanting and
prayer. We flow into vinyasa movement, integrated with
conscious breath, bio-dynamic alignment and guided
imagery. We work with direct connection to our Higher
Selves and to the Planetary Oneness Grids, inviting our
own highest divine intentions both individually and
collectively to be activated through our conscious
intent. Our practices empower us to BE and to ACT as
love - as the Goddess - alive, awake and radiantly
embodied!

MORE INFO COMING SOON...
Angel Valley Retreat Center The Angel Valley Retreat Center is a
secluded, peaceful 70-acre creekside sanctuary for
reconnecting to the Divine within. This natural
wilderness sanctuary is surrounded by thousands of acres
of The Coconino National Forest and outlined by Oak
Creek. The land is located in a region of intense
'vortexes' where the Earth manifests strong healing and
guiding energies. These same energies used by ancient
cultures for spiritual and regions quests may be
utilized to help an individual align with his/her own
heart energy and divinity. With its breathtaking desert
trails, inviting creek, cozy accommodations and
embracing healing energy, Angel Valley is the perfect
gathering place for reflection, education and
reconnection to nature and to oneself.
Evening Music, Song
and Dance under the Stars Take a playful journey into the realms of
self expression through native music, inspired movement
and vocalization. You are invited to surrender your
inhibitions and express yourself in a safe and welcoming
communal setting. Bring your music toys and leave your
inhibitions behind!
The Inviting Waters Oak Creek twists and turns through the trees,
trails, sacred circles andvortexes found throughout the
property. Hidden along the creek are numerous spots for
one to enjoy quiet reflective time.
Oak Creek opens up
to a beautifully cool and refreshing swimming hole which
is perfect for dipping, splashing and playing.
The Mystical Healing
Energies of Vortexes At Angel Valley
An unusually high number of energy lines cross the land.
Consequently there are many vortexes and special energy
sites. We invite individuals to get in touch with the
dynamic Earth energies of the Sedona area. The basic
purpose of a vortex experience is to (re)connect with
the natural energies that surround us: to experience our
human energy system interacting with the Earth. At Angel
Valley there are more than 20 vortex centers, some of
which are directly aligned with our chakras and
meridians, some correspond to various levels of our
consciousness, and others connect to the Christ
Consciousness, Angels, and Beings of Light.
The Ancient Labyrinth
as a Spiritual Tool
Both a 7-circuit and an 11-circuit Chartres Labyrinth
have been constructed as a part of Angel Valley's outdoor
spiritual tools. Although the basic function of the two
labyrinths is the same, the path and the experience are quite
different. The way the paths of the two types of labyrinths have
been laid out induces a different way of moving. This brings the
person who walks the labyrinths to a different state of being.
The 7-circuit labyrinth helps to connect to a spiritual
experience in the physical reality. The Chartres labyrinth works
with cosmic principles, and functions as a tool to transcend our
current level of consciousness.Walking the single magical path
of a sacred labyrinth is a spiritual tool used to surrender the
thinking mind. The exercise of walking the labyrinth without the
need to think allows one to connect deeper and reach the center
effortlessly.
Accommodations Angel
Valley provides cozy Cabins and Creekside Guesthouses
which house between two and four adults with carpeting,
beds and electricity. Many include bathrooms and some
have clean restrooms and showers nearby. Bedding, and
bathroom linens are provided.
