Dear Fierce and Tender Women,
I am excited to share with you that we have been invited to offer a Wild Mercy gathering at the legendary eco-retreat, Hui Ho’Olana, on the Hawaiian island of Molokai December 4-13, 2020.
We are expecting between 12-18 participants, so this will be an extraordinary opportunity to build community and refill the cup of our souls in an intimate and outrageously beautiful setting. Because people can only visit this special place by invitation, it is a great honor and a boon that my friend, activist and Zen teacher Rev. angel Kyodo Williams, recommended us.
This event will probably fill to capacity pretty swiftly, so if you are at all interested, please reach out to my wonderful retreat manager, Jaime Grechika for details: onesharedheart@gmail.com. We wanted to give you plenty of time to start dreaming and saving your pennies. My goal is to offer 2 scholarships to women of color for this gathering, so stand by for more on that as we figure out how to do it.
To learn more and to register visit HERE.
With much love and eager anticipation,
Mirabai
