The DEW Society Presents
Together We Rise
You won’t just leave rested. You’ll leave with a sister circle, a reformed perspective, and a grounding that will help you grow to your highest potential. The “Together We Rise” retreat is a six-day retreat at a private château in the French countryside. This experience was designed for women who are ready to focus on body/womb healing and hormonal/behavioral reflection through movement, sound, and visualization. Full body wellness is the focus. Mornings are an early, intentional start concentrated on reflection and finding your true self. Afternoons are filled with fun activities and connection-building. Evenings are designed for energy exchanges whether through movement, a release ceremony, or a transformative practice.
We can’t wait to see you there!
What To Expect:
5 Nights / 6 Days Accommodations
You can reserve a glamping tent or a shared room in the beautiful château. For more privacy, you can fully book out a glamping tent or book with a friend or partner.

The Network
