Sacred Sister Caravan Presents

A Moving Mystery Retreat

“Toning through the shadows to awaken the light within.”

Join us on a sacred caravan to two sacred sites in southern  Vermont
This is more than a retreat. It is a pilgrimage and initiation into the fertile dark—a remembering of the Mother beneath the Mother,  who holds the mysteries of descent, incubation, and rebirth.

 What to Expect:

  •  Caravan to 2 Sacred Sites within Southern Vermont—stone altars, forest wombs, and a hidden natural temple
         .     Recognize nature as conscious    
                 And alive enter a space as a
                 Guest and Open the door for reciprocal relationship.

  • Tuning into Frequency, vibration, and voice as portals to what has long been buried in the unconscious 

  • Offerings to nature

    This Pilgrimage is For You If:
        •    You are walking through spiritual remembering
        •    You are ready to meet the dark not as danger, but as teacher and initiator and mother
        •    You long to reconnect with the wild feminine, earth temples, and forgotten frequencies
        •    You sense there is wisdom in your body waiting to be unlocked through voice and vibration

We Will:

  • Walk the womb-path through forest and stone

  • Rest in stillness within the egg cave, a liminal space between death and rebirth

  • Tone, chant, and release sounds that shake loose the hidden

  • Receive messages from the Mother in silence and sacred sound

  • Share in circle, ritual, and sacred slowness

Affirmations of the Black Madonna:

  • “I trust the dark. It is not my enemy—it is my mother.”

  • “In silence and shadow, I return to power.”

  • “I am the sacred egg. I am the rebirth. I am the mystery unfolding.”

  • The Egg in the Womb of the Earth
    The Madonna is the keeper of the cosmic egg, the vessel for the divine seed of new consciousness. She holds it not as a passive mother, but as a guardian of transformation.

  • Darkness as Fertile Ground
    The egg must rest in the dark before hatching. The Black Madonna reminds us that darkness is sacred, and within it, the greatest light is born.

  • Initiation through Descent
    Just as eggs must incubate, the soul must descend into the blackness of the inner world. The Madonna stands at the entrance, guiding those who are willing to die to who they were in order to be reborn.

    When seen together, the Black Madonna and the egg speak of deep initiation, womb power, and the mystery of rebirth through descent.
