Goddess: a woman who is on a journey to understand, embrace, and love herself completely—mind, body, and spirit.
In today's society, the pressures of navigating a predominantly masculine world can stifle our inner goddess. Take the weekend to reconnect with your feminine essence. This women's weekend retreat offers a chance to be among like-minded women, embraced by nature at the Aldermarsh retreat center on Whidbey Island. By delving into movement, crafting, self-care, and more, we'll awaken the inner goddess!
Aldermarsh retreat center is situated on the edge of a beautiful marshland in the Maxwelton Valley at the south end of Whidbey Island just a short ferry ride from Mukilteo. The wooded 5 acre facility is a human-created space integrated within its natural setting where community, collaboration and sustainability thrive.
Our mission is to create and hold sacred space for residential retreats and programs that are focused on raising individual and collective consciousness, exploring creative and equitable ways of being in community, and learning to live in balance with the natural world. We provide a refuge for community: a place where one can be still and listen to the wisdom of the Earth and reconnect with soul’s calling.
