Open Your Ear to the Great Below 2025
After a very successful collaboration in 2024, Tracy Chipman and I offer this retreat day for women* again, resting and descending into the composting season through the ancient Sumerian story of Inanna and Ereskigal: a story of death and resurrection that predates Christianity by some 2,000 years.
We will encounter the story through embodiment, both individually and as a group. There will be opportunities for you to drop deeply into your body’s experience and wisdom. From a place of surrender, we will rise again to meet the world’s challenges more resourced.
The day is facilitated by Jackie Singer and Tracy Chipman, who joins us virtually from USA.
THOUGH THIS EXPERIENCE, YOU WILL:
– Descend into the sacred terrain of the Great Below.
– Open yourself to hear, feel, see & know what you are ready to hear, feel, see & know.
– Allow yourself to be playful.
– Risk being seen and heard in new ways.
– Truly rest into the soft animal of your body.
– Reclaim lost aspects of yourself.
– Open to the power within you
What gifts await you in the Great Below?
How might your soul be fed beholding and being held, by deep time story, in the sacred vessel of your body, in the circle of women, resting and descending together?
* This day retreat is open to adult women/femme identifying folks.

FEEDBACK from our 2024 Retreat Day
“There’s something magical about how a group of mostly strangers can connect so well in these gatherings. I feel like I got to know so many people on a different level than such a short meeting usually delivers, and I hope to meet up with all of you again.”
Tracy Chipman weaves the ancient rivers of oral storytelling, writing and somatic practices creating unforgettable experiences inviting us towards embodied transformation & interconnectedness with the animate world. Since the mid 1990s she has been listening powerfully into the deep time myth of Inanna & Ereshkigal. Tracy resides in northern Wisconsin, occupying the traditional territories of the Ojibwe peoples. In March 2023 Tracy published her first book, Borealis Mundi – Resting in Place, Loss & Grace. (www.tracychipman.net)
