Sil Reynolds, Linda Kawer, Sherry Wheaton

Linda Kawer LCSW, Sil Reynolds RN, and Sherry Wheaton MD offer Embodying Conscious Femininity workshops and retreats for women who wish to live more authentic, vibrant and fulfilling lives. We believe that our culture has promoted values such as perfection and achievement, and that this has drawn us away from a wisdom and wholeness that is accessible to us from within. Our workshops and retreats give women the opportunity to take time out and set a slower pace so that they may work with the language of their soul - so that they may find meaning in their own symbols, dreams, feelings and symptoms in their bodies.

Linda, Sil and Sherry are graduates of the BodySoul Rhythms® Leadership Training, a three-year program for professionals that was created by Marion Woodman, Mary Hamilton and Ann Skinner. We are proud to integrate this work into each of our professional lives, as well as to continue to explore and develop the next generation of these workshops. The Embodying Conscious Femininity workshops and retreats are affiliated with The Marion Woodman Foundation.

Marion Woodman has said: "To be aware of one's own feelings, needs and values and to have the courage to act on them is the essence of conscious femininity." *

We are thrilled to offer these opportunities for women to find this courage to live authentically.

* The renowned Jungian analyst and author Marion Woodman has written such groundbreaking books as Conscious Femininity, Addiction to Perfection and The Pregnant Virgin. She was one of the first Jungian scholars to explore and articulate the relationship of soma and psyche (body and soul), particularly in women. She collaborated with her colleagues, the dance educator Mary Hamilton and the actor and voice teacher Ann Skinner, to develop BodySoul Rhythms¨, a weeklong intensive format. Over the last thirty years, thousands of women throughout the world have experienced this transformational work. Linda Kawer LCSW, Sil Reynolds RN, and Sherry Wheaton MD have been mentored and trained by the collective wisdom and skill of these three women.>/i>
