Sierra KlisczShakti and The Shadow: A Woman's Descent into the Cosmic Womb

Class description

This is a Wild Rice Retreat–hosted retreat, part of our thoughtfully curated programming. We proudly partner with skilled retreat leaders to bring guided experiences to our resort—designed to inspire, nourish, and support personal growth in alignment with our mission.

We humbly invite you into the alchemical container of Shakti and The Shadow, an intimate sanctuary designed for women ready to marry their highest light with their deepest dark. This immersion blends the fierce alchemy of Hindu goddess philosophy with the profound, healing depths of psychological shadow work all beautifully held in the season of becoming - spring of 2027.

Here, you will not bypass your pain but rather meet it as a portal to unleash your unshakeable power. Guided by the primal currents of Shakti, the primordial cosmic energy, we will move past polite spirituality to touch the raw, untamed aspects of the feminine archetype. Spring is one of the most powerful transitional times to harness the essence of becoming and the Northwoods offers the perfect setting to plant your seeds. 

Through potent rituals, intentional dialogue, sacred movement, nature immersion, breathwork, and embodiment practices, you will evoke the transformative medicine of deities like Kali, Lakshmi, Durga and more. 

Together we safely journey into the hidden chambers of our psyche to reclaim suppressed desires, forgotten anger, and buried truths.

Supported by a safe sisterhood, this retreat is an invitation to strip away guilt, integrate your fragmented pieces, and emerge radically whole, fiercely authentic, and fully awake in your sovereign magic.
