Wise Women Equinox Retreat
โจ Let's Shed the Shoulds & Rekindle Your Inner Twinkleโจ
View from the patio ~ we're gathering at a private home on an oceanfront acreage.
This family home has hosted so much love (including my wedding!), you can feel it all around ~ like it's enveloping you in a hug.
And the deeply melodic windchime gives soothing song to the gentle ocean breeze...
-
Wanting to continue generously giving your care/time/energy,
yet the tank runneth empty (now where's that oxygen mask?) -
Snapping at someone you love, then feeling bad about it
-
Tired of rules that were never meant to benefit women
-
Dizzy on the too-much/not-enough pendulum
-
Holding yourself to exhaustingly high standards
-
Feeling like things you used to manage... you just
can't (or don't want to have to) tolerate anymore -
Wanting to set aside the roles or rules which no longer fit
-
Your body speaking to you, but it's like a foregin language (and
not responding like it used to...) -
Longing for meaningful connection beyond small talk (& beyond words)
-
Sensing there's an even more authentic version of you that you'd love to unleash
-
Something deeper that you can't quite name, yet feel the nudge calling you forward...
By saying Yes to this adventure, you get to open up to:
-
Recharging your vibe, replenishing your joie-de-vivire, and revitalizing your Self
-
Remembering that BEing is just as (and sometimes more!) important as DOing
-
Knowing that giving yourself TLC is in service to the greatest good for everyone
-
Honouring parts of yourself that may have been shunned, shamed, or judged
-
Feeling present & belonging ~ just as you are
-
Recognizing what your soul-aligned path feels like ~ and how to dance with obstacles
-
Riding the waves & keeping yourself buoyant ~ no matter how turbulent the waters!
-
Carrying your sparkle wherever life's journey unfolds (Psst! it's contagious!)
-
Clarifying who you get to be in this next chapter ~ what supports that unfolding โจ
The light within me salutes & honours the light within you.
This united lifeforce shining within us, animating all life.
By the time you leave on Saturday...
You'll have access to a felt sense of
expansive possibility ~ matched with an anchored groundedness (ie, practical plan!) for carrying your clarity forward with momentum, so you can bring
the magic home.
You'll have made heartfelt connections
within yourself,
with like-hearted souls,
and with Life itself.
You'll have support for the
version of you you're nurturing,
and that twinkle in your eye that says:
"Sometimes life is friggin hard, and it can
also be beautiful. Thankfully, even when it feels like I have no idea what I'm doing, I know I'll get through it ~ and still love myself on the other side."
Your inner BFF is cheering you on ~ while giving your inner gremlins genuine thanks, and comforting hugs. ๐
Stonecrop quietly reminding us we can
bloom even amidst challenging circumstances.
View from the beach ~ one of the warmest bays on Mayne! and if we're lucky, full of bioluminescence at night! = magic!
Hi!
I'm your hostess, Dove
๐
โฆand exhaleโฆ
You're not broken.
You're not failing.
Even if you can no longer maintain yesteryear's pace.
Even the patterns youโve created arenโt โwrongโ ~
just no longer relevant for who you get to be moving forward.
Like a familiar outfit that no longer suits you.
Youโre full of so much amazingness & badassery!
Thank you, and thank goodness. ๐
๐ฎ You're at a pivot point asking for you to
be honoured for who you are now
(and who you are becoming).
Brace yourself for a Revolutionary Idea:
Caring (& taking time) for YOU is
actually one of the biggest acts of service,
and one of the most generous things you can do. โจ
[Donโt worry! Iโm not talking to the narcissists ~ Iโm talking to the heart-centred, compassionate, and devoted-to-the well-being-of-our-planet people ~ like YOU.]
Who benefits when your cup is full? When you are shining?
[Hint: win-win-win!]
What happens if/when you burn out? When you feel "off"?
[Hint: what's the fallout for you, for others, ...]
In case you (or someone you know) needed to hear this today:
You don't have to wait for things to get really bad,
before making a change for the better.
One. Step. At. A. Time.
๐ฟ
Thank you for being part of the ripple of awesomeness in the world!
You matter.
What if everything has been leading to this very moment?
What if you're at a threshold?
What if...
โจ Youโve found yourself in the liminal space. โจ
โจ The Sacred PAUSE. โจ
โจ The initiation into your next phase. โจ
What if your next phase is where you get to BE more of who you really are ~
beyond all the protective patterns, the rules, and the shoulds?

I appreciate her clear being, deep listening and understanding presence.
I came into our session with a thorny dilemma and quickly received a quality of witnessing along with skillful guidance and questions that helped me ease into new possibilities.
I came away with a warm sense of being really seen and heard, renewed enthusiasm and action steps that helped me move
forward with a challenging process.
So grateful for wise coaching!"

โจ FAQ โจ Do you love details as much as Dove does? ๐ฅฐ
1. "I've never done anything like this before. How do I know it's right for me?"
โค๏ธ What does your intuition say? It is completely normal & natural to feel hesitation with trying something new, and if you're feeling that combination of nervous-excited, that's usually a sign you're on the right track and about to embark on a growth-supporting journey. Reach out to Dove to schedule a Zoom call where you can receive support making a decision that feels good for YOU.
2. "Will it feel awkward amidst others who I may or may not know?"
๐งก As part of creating a safe & welcoming environment, you will be guided through Dove's favourite practices to augment your interactions with others. From cultivating your energetic boundaries to learning frameworks that help you evoke meaningful conversation, as well as opportunities to set aside roles you may typically feel responsible for and the encouragement to listen and honour your innermost yearnings ~ your time during this retreat is a break from the norm, and an invitation to explore other ways of being (within yourself, and with others). We each get to give ourselves (and each other!) permission to be BOTH brilliant AND imperfect ;)
3. "Is this only for women going through perimenopause?"
๐ Yes, it's only for women. No, it's not only for women actively going through perimenopause. No matter what age, it's for women who are feeling called to embody their Wise Woman Era ~ whether it's a relatively new idea to explore, or a life-long reclaimation. The stages of life women go through all have their own flavour, and often there is overlap between and within stages (just like Nature changing seasons, sometimes there can be a wintery day in Spring, and a summery day in Autumn). All women who are curious to explore (& honour) their inner wisdom are welcome.
4. "What are my transportation to/from/on Mayne Island options?"
๐ To/from Mayne:
1. BC Ferries runs regular daily sailings from both Tsawwaasen (on the mainland, near Vancouver) AND Swartz Bay (on Vancouver Island, near Sidney)
2. Float planes are sometimes available ~ a spectacular way to see the surrounding area!
3. If you have your own boat, you can anchor in Campbell Bay (and walk up to the house).
๐ ON Mayne Island:
1. Bring your own vehicle (or rent one to bring to Mayne)
2. Bring your own bike ~ pro tip: e-biking helps faltten out the hills ;)
3. Mayne Island Community Bus ~ by donation, volunteer-run, book in advance to confirm service
4. Rent e-bikes on Mayne: available at Home Hardware & Active Pass Gas Station
5. Hitch-hiking is "normal" on friendly Mayne Island, including "Car Stops" ~ embrace "island time!"
5. "How do I sign up & what happens next?"
๐ Email dove@meadowdove.ca ~ Dove will illuminate details, and your registration is confirmed as soon as your Activation Fee is received and your program agreement is signed. Dove will send out more information (such as a suggested packing list, etc) prior to the retreat in September, and is happy to answer any questions you have before then.
6. "I have a different question, concern, or request ~ can we have a conversation?"
๐ฉท Absolutley! Dove is happy to schedule a quick Zoom (or phone) call, so we can have a conversation & get any/all questions answered :) Reach out via email to arrange an appt (free!), or find Meadow Dove Lang on Voxer (walkie talkie app Dove uses for asynchronous conversations).
Psst ~ Dove is one of those people who loves to know ALLLL the details, so she understands you may have curiosity that still lingers ~ Simply reach out with any other questions, concerns, and requests!
There are no "stupid questions" and when one is brave enough to reach out, it benefits others who may not even know they had that question too until they feel the fabulousness of seeing the answer! ๐

Reflections on what a Wise Woman is, and an invitation to own it!
-
A Wise Woman allows herself to dream big ~ and appreciates even the smallest things.
-
A Wise Woman knows the quality of her presence is valuable ~ and therefore understands the importance of cultivating her vibe & nourishing her energy.
-
A Wise Woman knows that rest is as sacred as action, that honouring her capacity requires consistent tuning in, and that in order to give we must learn the art of receiving.
-
A Wise Woman is generous and discerning ~ protecting her potency while allowing her magic to flow through.
โโโ -
A Wise Woman feels the truth in her bones, and shares it with courage & compassion.
-
A Wise Woman knows when enough is enough, and that โNoโ can be a complete sentence.
-
A Wise Woman is a generative contributor to the circles she joins, and also relishes solitude where her care & attention get to be focused within.
-
A Wise Woman is in touch with what lifts her up, and what drains her ~ and diligently tips the balance so her cup is continually refilled (always maintaining a special reserve she can use for herself, without apology).
-
A Wise Woman clarifies her intentions, illuminates the opportunities, and takes one brave step (or giant leap) at a time.
-
A Wise Woman knows that whatever challenges arise, there IS a way through ~ and she neednโt do it alone.
-
A Wise Woman harnesses her own resourcefulness, which includes leaning into support ~ recognizing empowerment is available within, and we enrich each other through our interactions.
-
A Wise Woman celebrates her blessings AND her challenges, recognizing itโs all part of the experience of Life and each moment contributes to who she gets to be now.
-
A Wise Woman understands that there is always more at play than any of us can ever fully comprehend, and celebrates that she doesnโt have to figure it all out to be able to enjoy the journey & trust her intuition.
Sound familiar? She's already within you.
Now we get to co-create the safe space, the sacred circle where we each get to let our magic shine in its own radiance ~ like a crystal that reveals a rainbow of colours as the sun streams through.
Now we get to feel the resonance that amplifies our collective vibration.
There was a time in history when it was not safe for
groups of women to gather (let alone be magical!).
Now it's time for us to reclaim this potent practice,
while we deepen our self-trust & intuitive knowingness.

I'm ready to receive my seat,
reclaim my wonderousness,
and embrace my unfolding.
