Womb Rooted
Listen inward, create from your rhythm
Rather than treating the menstrual cycle as a side note, Womb Rooted places women’s bodily rhythms at the center of a gathering about safety, self-knowledge and creative life. Its purpose is to help participants listen inwardly and carry that awareness into work, art and relationships, with sisterhood at the heart of the experience. The emphasis is on body awareness and connection, rather than a formal silent retreat. A forest-side setting in Escondido gives the gathering a nature-leaning frame, while the shared meal is notably generous: vegan Buddha bowls with falafel, sautéed greens, avocado, sweet potato, cabbage slaw and sesame soba noodles, preceded by ginger-lemongrass broth. Fruit, cookies, bliss balls and chocolate bark round things out. A pool, kitchen, coffee and tea, and free Wi-Fi are listed among the amenities. The retreat runs by donation, and the exact address is shared after tickets are purchased, so plan logistics around that confirmation.
