Coming Spring 2019!!
Northern California

Registration Opens November 1st
Women are subtly and not so subtly sent messages in our culture that their womanhood
​is a commodity, their feelings are tangential, and their contribution is cute.
We cross our legs to make ourselves smaller, apologize for our existence, 
​and put ourselves last on our list, if at all.
Picture

In Her Own Rite
​is an antidote to all of that.​

​

It gives women the space to deeply inhabit themselves

To stand in the fullness of their stature

To take their place as strong matriarchs

To explore their voice, strength, and power

To discover their value and beautifully imperfect beauty

To hold hands with their sisters in solidarity
​
​To make time for themselves
Join us for a weekend of crown claiming, intentional crafting, and joyful sisterhood. Take a break from your regular routine to renew your spirit in this restorative setting. Meet other women seeking to claim their power. Celebrate you!!
​

Purpose

To call forth the queen in each woman so she can live from a place of empowered choice.
​

An initiation into a community of sisters committed to celebrating each other's strength.

Activities

  • Explore themes of personal power as they relate to the archetype of the queen while fashioning for ourselves crowns of glory and scepters of sovereignty. 
  • Circle together with the intention of holding each other safely and tenderly allowing ourselves to be authentically seen.
  • Pen our queenly creedo, a set of personal guideposts from which to live and breathe, and honor ourselves and each other in an ennobling ocean-side coronation ceremony.
  • ​Commemorate the weekend with a beautiful portrait session​ (optional add-on).

Meet Your Guide

SUSAN SANELLI HAMMACK

As your space holder and guide, my desire is to create a haven, a place where you can finally feel yourself exhale and sink into the warmth of safety and acceptance. When women feel that they are loved as they are, they blossom naturally and  exude the beautiful fragrance of their essential selves. My aim is for you to bask in the joy of being deeply seen and valued, to shimmer with the indelible knowledge of your unfathomable worth, and to leave our time together with your inner compass pointing you to your true north and your unique purpose for, as poet Mary Oliver puts it, "your one wild precious life."

Queen Lisa

This was the most deeply touching, life-changing retreat!  Susan is a beautifully soulful guide.  She has created an event full of sisterhood, soul-tending, art and validation.  We are all QUEENS!!!!!  Who knew?  Through the exercises and projects and ceremonies she devised, Susan supported us as we dug deep into that which is sacred.  Susan knows how to gently and respectfully hold space so that you will commune with kindred souls.  You will leave with new friendships, some great meaningful art pieces, and a deeper understanding of yourself.  
​

I can't recommend this retreat highly enough!


Queen Roberta

In Her Own Rite retreat was a valuable experience.  It was very well thought out, from the promotional materials to the presentation.  The venue was beautiful and peaceful, and the location right by the sea was ideal.  The program was well paced, from the opening and ice breaker activities, to the crafting, to the ritual and wrap up.  The format was useful for the purpose of identifying and claiming the power to be and to act. Susan was able to create an atmosphere of safety and comradery in a very short time.  The stated goals of the retreat were met, and participants left feeling filled up and satisfied.
