The Divine Feminine: Hormones Across the Lifespan
The Divine Feminine: Hormones Across the Lifespan
On Sunday, October 4th from 1-5 PM, Discover Peace Within is joining with Camilla Luna Yoga to host a half-day gathering unlike anything we've offered before.
The Divine Feminine: Hormones Across the Lifespan
Together we'll move through yoga, yin, meditation, gentle breath work, reflection, journaling, and partner work — all held inside the symbolic metamorphosis arc of caterpillar → chrysalis → butterfly.
We'll talk honestly about hormones across the lifespan, the tension between women as the givers of life and the systems that have devalued that power, and what it means to come home to the Divine Feminine within you.
Bring a journal, an open heart, and whatever season you're in right now — we'll meet you there.
Investment is $145 - pre-paid to reserve your spot.
Space is intentionally limited to keep this circle close and connected.
Schedule Your Discovery Call to Reserve Your Spot
We are honored to have you as a part of our sacred circle.
With gratitude,
Camilla & Ilene
