matriarch: A return to the power of the feminine
Oct 29 - Nov 1, Palomar MOuntain, San diego
a ceremonial gathering for women who feel the call to reclaim the full authority and power of the feminine.
Matriarchy is remembrance.
The remembrance of an older order where our wisdom, intuition, and life-giving power were deeply honored.
It is women no longer asking permission to know what we know.
No longer overriding the body when it says yes, no, stay, leave, speak, rest, grieve, create.
No longer shrinking our power to be chosen, accepted, desired, or understood.
No longer treating our intuition as something we have to prove before we trust it.
Matriarchy is the return of feminine authority in the ways we live, lead, love, mother, create, protect, pray, choose, and belong to the earth.
It is power rooted in responsibility, care, truth, creation, and right relationship.
This is a gathering woman to woman, in ceremony with sacred medicine, to clear what has been carried through generations and return to the power of the feminine at the root.
Together, we will sit with the wounds carried through patriarchy, separation, silence, competition, betrayal, and survival. We will tend the places where we have been separated from our bodies, our voices, our knowing, our lineages, and one another.
This is for women who feel the call to reclaim the power of the feminine and embody the gifts, wisdom, and authority that are already within us.

What’s included:
An Intimate Container
We believe that true healing happens in deep, intentional connection. By keeping our retreat groups small, we create a space where every participant is truly seen, heard, and supported. This allows for greater vulnerability, authenticity, and a more personalized approach to your healing journey.
Each retreat is intimately designed, with group sizes limited to 13 participants to maintain a safe and sacred container. We trust that those meant to sit together will find their way here, and time and time again, we witness the profound wisdom that emerges from these divinely aligned groups. The shared journey becomes part of the medicine itself—offering insights, reflections, and a deep sense of belonging.
Beyond the medicine, our time together is enriched with:
Is this right for you?
Sister, this is for you if you feel the call to reclaim the full authority and power of the feminine, to return to the wisdom of your body, your intuition, your prayer, your gifts, your bloodline, and your relationship with the earth.
This is for the woman who is ready to come back to herself, to be witnessed in the fullness of her feminine expression, and to remember what becomes possible when women gather in reverence, honesty, and devotion to life.
This is for you if…
This space is for the cycle-breakers, the ones healing on behalf of their lineages, the ones reclaiming the wisdom of the feminine, the ones choosing love, wholeness, and truth.
And it is for those who simply wish to celebrate, explore, and embody the fullness of their feminine nature, in all its softness, wildness, power, and grace.

Testimonials
Chelsea’s gentle guidance and feminine grace, have guided me through three extremely transformative experiences that otherwise would have been a disaster. Her beautiful intimate understanding of Ayahuasca allowed me to fully embody, embrace, and cocreate with such a spectacular medicine because I could feel her devotion not only to the journey but to everyone’s safety.
As I write this, I have sat in ceremony with Chelsea several times over the past two years and plan to continue in the future. Not once have I doubted the purity of her intentions. She knows how to hold a safe, supportive space and gives her full attention to every participant I'm truly grateful to recommend Chelsea and her organization to anyone who is stepping onto the path of Plant Medicine. 🙏🙏🙏
After the ceremony, I was full of love, compassion, and understanding with me and with my wife which helped me to develop a stronger relationship. The space felt comfortable, familiar, compassionate, trustworthy, and comfortable, and the ceremony impacted my way to see the world. I was able to see myself in a different way, which helped me to understand myself and others. It was powerful and vivid.
