The Sacred Feminine
THE WAY OF THE ROSE INItiation
HAs the Rose been Calling you?
The Rose is demanding in her ways of reminding us of our strength in softness, and in our communal return to sovereignty.
This is an invitation to dieta with the ancient wisdom of the Rose, right here in the heartland. Traditionally, this temple work was reserved for places like Egypt or other Sacred lands, and we are weaving this medicine here, together, in Missouri.
This is not your typical Women’s Retreat. This is an Initiation. With any Initiation, preparation and sacred pause is key. **Please note that the ROSE DIETA will begin a week before our weekend gathering, beginning Friday, March 13th and continues for 10 days.
The Diet:
The dieta will be ten days, and so will begin 7 days before the retreat space. There is a diet to follow during this time, such as limiting oils, avoiding salt, refined sugar, red meat and pork, and abstaining from sex. We will provide specifics on the diet for those who choose to attend, but to give an idea, you can eat plenty of whole foods, including steamed vegetables, boiled/poached eggs, rice, pasta, baked chicken, and fish. Dieta-friendly food will be provided during the retreat. Once the dieta commences, it is encouraged to abstain from sex for five days and introduce other foods slowly.
It’s time to awaken, connect and reclaim pleasure as a portal to healing.
visualize…
The warmth of the sun on your skin as you sit in a sacred circle of women, the scent of herbs and rose oil adorning your body. Gentle hands weave your hair with intention, braiding in whispers of love and remembrance.
Nearby, the sound of water cleansing echoes like a song, inviting you to release all that no longer serves. You step into its embrace, feeling purification, renewal, and deep surrender with every breath.
With soft, rhythmic movements, your body awakens. Shakti energy rises, a current of power pulsing through you, unlocking pleasure, wisdom, and wild remembrance. Light movement and light codes, heart wide open, unguarded, free.
Together, we speak what has been unspoken, releasing shame, reclaiming joy, and weaving our voices into the great story of the divine feminine.
You are held. You are seen. You are reclaimed.

About Emily:
Emily began her path in 2011, living as an expat in Taiwan, where she met her teacher, Maestro Don Roberto. There in Taiwan, she was introduced to a special tree medicine, one that has shown itself on Egyptian temple walls and biblical tabernacles. She developed a deep passion for the work and a desire to learn more. Learning the songs from the Mestizo tradition, shared with her by her teacher, she eventually began sharing the work with friends, under the guidance of Don Roberto. This led her to singing alongside her friend and medicine woman, Stephanie, who shared with her the teachings that she received from the Witoto lineage of Columbia. In 2024, Emily followed Maestro Don Roberto to the Peruvian Amazon for deeper learning. It was there, she was introduced to the Shipobo lineage with the Mahua family. The Mahua family carries the tradition of Noya Rao, their master plant teacher. In the last two years, she has undergone two intense trainings in this tradition under Americo Mahua.
Noya Rao is a bioluminescent tree that glows in the night and is considered "The Flying Tree." One who diets with this tree may also receive a crown to heighten their intuition and deliver the songs with more power in ceremony. This last December, Emily received her second crown in the Noya Rao tradition.
Since Emily works with tree medicine, dieting with the Noya Rao tree has been very special to her. Emily says, "Trees are noble, intelligent, and surprisingly romantic." In this initiation, Emily brings us the wisdom of the trees, alongside the power of the rose.
