The Invitation

This is not a retreat.
This is a remembering.

For the first time, three keepers of the mystery meet in the flesh. In ceremony. In the sacred jungle of Costa Rica. This is a closed circle. For GMS women only.

The jungle is the mirror. The jungle is the crucible. The jungle is the womb. Five nights to see yourself reflected in the wild, to be refined by the elements, and to return to the source of your power with the three women who have been guiding your initiation all year.

The woman who walks into the jungle
is not the woman who walks out.

Three Lineages · One Jungle · One Circle

The Crucible

Where the body becomes the alchemical vessel. Processing, transmuting, and ultimately creating something new from the heat of what you've been carrying.

The Portal

Where the stars, your shadow, and the reflection of who you actually are beneath who you learned to perform finally come into view.

The Rose

Where the womb's ancient intelligence is awakened through the elements, and the body is invited, at last, to lead.

The Keepers

The Three

Together, these three pillars weave a living field of transformation. A space designed to illuminate what has been hidden, soften what has been guarded, and awaken what has long been waiting to emerge.

Sister Shanti

Keeper of the Portal

Sister Shanti

Sister Shanti works in the language of cosmos and mirror. She will hold you up to yourself. Through the stars, through your shadow, through the sacred geometry of who you actually are beneath who you learned to perform. Her work is in magic and union: the inner union that happens when you stop running from your own reflection and begin, at last, to fall in love with it.

Dr. Michelle Patrick

Keeper of the Crucible

Dr. Michelle Patrick

Dr Michelle Patrick works in medicine and alchemy. She holds the human body as a sacred microcosm. A universe unto itself, capable of profound self-creation and radical healing. Her teachings move through the body as a living alchemical vessel. One that processes, transmutes, and ultimately creates. She will inspire in you the eloquent unveiling of human potential through somatic wisdom.

Sadie Jane

Keeper of the Rose

Sadie Jane

Sadie Jane works in womb wisdom and the elements. She carries the ancient knowing of earth, water, fire, and air — and she teaches women how to turn pain into purpose, how to hear the intelligence of the body's depths, how to let the womb lead. Her work is in mission: the sacred remembrance of why you are here and the unstoppable force that comes alive when a woman finally knows it.

What Awaits You

Five Nights. Five Thresholds.

Every night, something is asked of you. Every morning, you are not the same woman.

Ceremony

Ritual will mark each step of this sacred journey together. Magic will be practiced, the cosmos will be read. The womb will be listened to. And the shadow will be danced with.

Movement

The body will release what the mind could not. Somatically, ceremonially, elementally. You will be moved. What moves through you will leave you lighter, clearer, more fully inhabiting the skin you came here to wear.

Immersion

You will descend. Into the body, into the earth, into the depths that our culture has spent centuries teaching women to fear. And in that descent, you will find a depth of hidden treasures and embodied power that you have been seeking outside of yourself for.

Integration

Sister wounds will be tended. The grief between women, the competition, the betrayal, the longing for a sisterhood that actually holds you, will all be tended to. As well as witnessed, processed, and alchemized into something new. Into communion. Into the sanctity of the coven.

The rite of passage belongs to you.

Who This Is For

You already know if this is yours.

This is for any woman in The Great Mystery School who feels drawn to practicing the feminine arts in person. Those who have journeyed the inner work and are ready to venture into the wild. Those who wish to sit in powerful circle with the women they have been walking beside all year.

You do not need to have it all figured out. And there is no level of initiation required. You just need to say yes.

The jungle will meet you exactly where you are.

The Sanctuary

Imiloa Institute

Dominical, Costa Rica

Waterfalls, natural pools, and forest trails woven into the land itself. This is not a hotel. This is a living temple.

The circle is forming.

There are 33 seats and not one more.

If something in your body said yes before your mind had time to object — you have been summoned.
