Women’s Wisdom Well

september 2 - 6, 2026

half an hour west 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 own particular magic and who are curious about yours

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

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

… you’re free September 2 through 6, 2026

~ What Kathryn and Lindsay bring ~

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

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

We are dear friends who have helped one another grow in significant ways.

We are devoted to making the world better for all our relations.

We’re co-creating a rich, deep, meaningful, and yummy experience for women to celebrate Life.

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

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

~ What You Can Expect ~

Would you like to spend some time in the company of women who are doing interesting, edgy, potentially impactful things with their lives, just as you are? Us too.

So we’re inviting you to join together in community for a while.

Below are some options for what we might do with our time together.

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). Art supplies are welcome, of course.

Healing movement

yoga and freeform dance

Bring either 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 yoga and freeform dance.

Magic

Witness and be witnessed in our imperfect perfection

If this invitation has reached you, consider it a recognition of your wisdom, strength, and authentic presence. Our 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
co-created and shared

Meals are shared, starting with lunch on Wednesday and extending through brunch on Sunday. We ask that participants contribute to food costs and/or bring something to share.

Thought we meant a different kind of plant medicine? There’s local cannabis. Otherwise we could plan an experience outside of retreat time.

~ Details and Logistics ~

The retreat runs Wednesday lunchtime through Sunday brunch September 2 through 6, 2026.
You may attend part or all the days.
You may arrange — in advance — to arrive before the retreat date and/or stay extra days after the retreat ends.
Consider doing this if
- you would like to work privately with one of us on a topic
- you would like to have a particular experience
- you would like private time by yourself or with another person.
We will meet at Zen Garden Sanctuary, a sweet retreat space outside of Eugene, OR.
You may stay at the Zen Garden Sanctuary campground or commute.
This cost for the retreat will vary according to whether you are commuting or camping onsite.
You will need to pay the entrance fee for Zen Gardens, either for a day spa pass or an overnight camping fee, depending how long you stay and if you’re sharing a camp site or not.
Bottom line: you would need to be prepared to pay at least $20 per day to come out to the site, plus a camping fee and whatever you would like to donate for food.
In summary:
$20 day spa pass
$100/night per camp site
($30-$50 per night for sharing a camp site)
Otherwise, we’re not charging for your participation, as this is as much a treat for us as it will be for you. Come and enjoy.
Lindsay and Kathryn will bring food for creating meals together. Alternatively, you can bring whatever you enjoy for yourself. And of course we would love for you to bring food to share!

~ 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 require for your health and safety. All bodies are welcome.

… my aversion to crowds?

We enjoy the experience of intimate conversation, and we like to keep distractions to a minimum so that we can engage in deep personal growth work. Retreats are limited to a dozen women, including your hosts.
