February 7, March 7 & April 18
You’ve been through the fire
You ‘ve done the shedding
Now is the time to reclaim your power!
Inner Goddess Temple is a space for you to pause, to feel, to express,
and to come back into relationship with your feminine power.
Rooted in the ancient tradition of women’s temples, this is a sacred space for women to gather in sisterhood for connection, healing, dance, expression, emotional support, and self-care.
This three-part journey moves through PULSE, DARK, and WILD.
Each temple building on the last. Each one guiding you home to yourself.
This is your invitation to reconnect to your pulse, to step out from the dark and to unapologetically unleash your wild.
🌙
Saturday, February 7
PULSE is that first sense of aliveness.
This temple invites you to come back to yourself and reconnect with your feminine essence - to feel safe in your body, to soften, to listen. A space to remember what it feels like to belong: to yourself and to a community. Through gentle movement, somatic practices, and nervous-system-informed exploration, we begin by resourcing safety, belonging, self trust, and inner wisdom.
🌙
Saturday, March 7
DARK is the space before rebirth.
Rooted in emotional healing, shadow, and liberation, this temple invites you to express what has been held inside and to meet all parts of yourself—the light and the dark—with curiosity and tenderness. Through sensual movement, emotional alchemy, and pleasure as medicine, deeper layers of truth, power, and expression are revealed.
🌙
Saturday, April 18
WILD is about unleashing the true you.
Rooted in primal play and embodied power, this temple is a space to rewild what’s been tamed, muted, or restrained—inviting your wild feminine to move as freely as she feels called. Dance, sound, breath, and energy practices open space for your voice and expression to bloom.
Who is this for?
Inner Goddess Temple is an intimate journey for 6–8 sisters who feel called to deepen their relationship with themselves and to express themselves authentically in a safe space without fear of judgment.
It is for women of all ages who are ready for change - who desire more. Who long to find their voice and their power, to awaken their sensuality, to come alive.
What to Expect
Together we will create a sacred ritual space,
followed by a brief discussion of the theme. Each temple will incorporate:
🌿 Movement, dance, somatic exploration, breathwork
🌿Nervous-system-informed practices for safety and integration
🌿 Opening and closing rituals
🌿 Space for sharing, reflection, and rest
🌿 A confidential, judgment-free container
Your Guides
Melissa and Luce combine their strengths, shared values, and deep respect for the body’s intelligence, providing a professional and supportive container for your unique temple experience.

Here is what previous guests had to say about their experience:
“I really enjoyed the day with you and the other women for what felt like a sisterhood of self-care. The food was nourishing & delicious. The flow of the day was gentle and filled up a part of my well. I am grateful for the opportunity to slow down & your guidance that felt supportive (like a deep soul hug)”
“Melissa, a million thank-you's! Your retreat was exactly what I needed - a peaceful getaway for mind, body and soul. You pampered us from beginning to end. It was truly a wonderful experience. Thank you for welcoming us into your beautiful home and making the day so restorative and relaxing.”
"Thank you so much for the wonderful day! I saw your advertisement, in a moment when I really needed it. I rarely do these types of things, especially since I became a Mom, trying to juggle work, family, health, etc... So thank you! "
"Thank you again for everything. It was such an amazing (and much needed) reset! I am looking forward to joining another one"

This being my second pregnancy, I had some pelvis issues and prenatal yoga has helped immensely with the pain and discomfort.”
“I've taken Melissa's prenatal yoga class throughout both my pregnancies and found her teachings very useful during my labour. Melissa is knowledgeable, sensitive, and caring. I would have felt unprepared for the big day without these classes.”
