MAY 30th 9:30am-4:30pm
The Rose in the Threshold
A Sacred Feminine Day Retreat
There are moments in a woman’s life when the soul asks her to slow down long enough to hear herself again.
To step away from the noise, the performing, the tending of everyone else…
and return to the quiet sanctuary within her own body.
The Rose in the Threshold is an immersive day of sacred feminine restoration, contemplative practice, beauty, and remembrance.
A gathering for women longing to reconnect to the wisdom of the body, the rhythm of the soul, and the living presence of the Divine within them.
Together, we enter sacred space gently.
Like women gathering around ancient fires.
Like priestesses tending oil lamps in hidden sanctuaries.
Like the Desert Mothers who walked into silence not to disappear, but to become illuminated from within.
This retreat is an invitation to cross a threshold.
From striving into softness.
From fragmentation into wholeness.
From numbness into embodied presence.
From exhaustion into devotion.
Rooted in contemplative sacred feminine wisdom, Light Body Living™, and somatic restoration, this experience honors the body as a living temple — not something to conquer or fix, but something holy to listen to, nourish, and inhabit fully.
Here’s a peek at our sanctuary for the day…An artsy, tranquil, intimate, and privately operated retreat space offered by Radiant Spirit Retreats!

Magdalene as our Threshold Guide:
You will be held in an atmosphere of beauty, reverence, and softness.
The scent of herbs and tea.
Candles flickering in quietude.
The sound of bowls, breath, and women remembering themselves again.
A sanctuary where nothing is required of you except your presence.
This is not a retreat about becoming someone else.
It is about returning.
Returning to your body as sacred ground.
Returning to your feminine rhythm.
Returning to the quiet wisdom beneath the urgency.
Returning to the rose that still blooms within you.
For the woman standing between what was and what is becoming…
For the woman carrying grief, longing, transition, awakening, or quiet hope…
For the woman ready to soften enough to hear the voice of her own soul again…
The threshold is open.
And the rose is waiting.

“I Just wanted to say thank you again dear beautiful goddess for your loving energy, I felt so held and lovingly guided by your energy and calmness, your session was nourishing and confirming and resonant with where I am at.”

“Lauren is a wellspring of embodied knowledge, wisdom, and Love. Lauren embodies her teachings with devotion, discipline and integrity. She embodies the frequency of the divine mother, monk, teacher, and most of all, in my seeing of her, she carries the living legacy of the modern day Feminine Essene Path.
In my humble opinion Lauren’s soul has woven the sacred ART of feminine discipline, purification rites and devotion in every cell of her body…therefore she emanates true embodied frequency of her offerings. This prints in her words, her body, her mental & energetic field and her teachings. Spending time with Lauren I feel as thought I receive a living modern day transmission of the Essene (brotherhood/sisterhood of Light) in her every word. From spending time, doing work together and receiving her work I feel greatly changed and have remembered my own walk with the Essenes.
Lauren also is an amazing scholar of her particular line of study and In her presence I feel like I’m receiving a sacred teaching during most chats and during her offerings. She offers deep Purification rites through meditation, silence, lifestyle (Light Body Living), somatic work, sacred text, Christ Light Teachings and so on. Lauren walks with you with deep wisdom , love and grace to create deep and rich soil for your soul’s Rose Heart to bloom and remember. I am forever grateful for our souls finding one another again. She is an ally you want on your path.
All my Love~ Kaila Rose Brechtel (friend, lover, devotee of the heart)
