Hey Sister ~

september 2 - 6, 2026,

join us for a women’s gathering:

Crone Wisdom

outside of Eugene, OR

 
 
 

This gathering is for you if…

 

… you’re cultivating your particular medicine or magic, making use of your innate power

… you’re ready for a potentially life-altering experience facilitated by two women in touch with our particular magic and who are curious about yours

… you’d enjoy being in community with like-minded women exploring and celebrating their unique gifts

… you’re ready for a change of scenery ~ how about Zen Gardens in rural Oregon?

… you’re free September 2 through 6, 2026

 
 

~ What Kathryn and Lindsay bring ~

We are yoginis, dancers, teachers, and wholehearted participants in Life.

We are serious students of Non-Violent Communication and of the Enneagram.

We are devoted to making life better for all our relations and for the planet.

Our intention for this retreat is to create a sacred container and to hold it lightly, allowing the magic of the group and each of its members to unfold naturally.

We invite you to come play, relax, share, eat, and experience wonder with us.

 
 

~ What You Can Expect ~

Let’s co-create an experience for peers: mature and maturing women

I would like to spend some time in the company of women who are doing interesting, edgy, potentially impactful things with their lives, just as I am.

So I’m inviting you to come together in community for a while.

Below are some options of what we might do with our time together. Want to play?

 

Mindfulness and presence

meditation and journaling

No prior experience or special abilities are required here. Just bring a journal and a pen you like for writing (or for drawing, or for scribbling, or for stabbing holes in pages).

Healing movement

freeform dance and play

I encourage you to bring your beginner mind – or, perhaps, your years of experience in movement – as we explore ways to nurture and heal ourselves playfully and with light hearts through freeform dance.

 
 
 

Magic

Witness and be witnessed in our imperfect perfection

If I’ve invited you directly, it’s because I see wisdom, strength, and goodness in you. My vision is for us all to experience the particular magic that each sister holds.

Prepare to step together into greater power and mutual support during our time together. And to have fun while doing it!

Plant medicine

nourishing meals

around an inviting table

Meals are included, starting with lunch on Friday and extending through brunch on Sunday. Feel free to contribute to food costs and/or to bring something to share.

If you thought I meant a different kind of plant medicine, ask. Could we plan an experience outside of retreat time? Maybe …

 
 
 

~ Details and Logistics ~

 

  • The retreat runs Friday lunchtime through Sunday brunch over a weekend in September 2026.

    I will announce the date when it is firm. Meanwhile, please tell me what works for you!

    You may arrange to arrive before the retreat date and/or stay extra days after the retreat ends.

    I can envision several reasons for doing so:

    • you would like to work privately with me on a topic or to have a particular experience

    • you would like private time by yourself or with another person

  • We will meet at a sweet retreat space outside of Eugene, OR. Details to come …

  • Again, details to come ...

  • This retreat will cost what you pay for transportation to the retreat site, plus any amount you would like to donate for food.

    I’m not charging for your participation, as this is as much a treat for me as it will be for you. Come and enjoy.

    We’ll prepare food together. If you are moved to bring food to share, please let me know in advance so we won’t both be making quinoa salad …

 
 
 

~ What about … ~

… my special dietary needs? 

We can do meal planning in advance, and/or you are invited to bring the ingredients you need and prepare food on-site.

… my physical limitations? 

We’ll plan in advance to work with whatever you bring. All bodies are welcome.

… my aversion to crowds?

I enjoy the experience of intimate conversation, and I like to keep distractions to a minimum so that we can engage in deep personal growth work. Retreats are limited to eight women, plus me.

 
 

~ Kind Words for Kathryn ~

 
“Kathryn’s experiences are a lift for my spirit. She holds a beautiful space — a judgement-free zone where I can be myself ...”
— J.B.
 
 
“Kathryn has superpowers of empathy, leading to an ethereal but balanced wisdom. She has served as mentor to many through her deep study of the enneagram. In my view, she is the perfect guide, embodying experience, knowledge, and good judgment.”
— H.S.
 
“I encourage women to try this experience because it feels safe, natural, and authentic. There is no comparison, competition, or judgment — it’s open and supportive. ”
— L.K.
“When I show up and move in our community, I’m reminded how much more alike we are as human beings than we are different. After my practice, I often notice a real connection to my body and a lift in my spirit.”
— B.E.
