All the Hemispheres

Leave the familiar for a while.
Let your senses and bodies stretch out

Like a welcomed season
Onto the meadow and shores and hills.

Open up to the Roof.
Make a new watermark on your excitement
And love.

Like a blooming night flower,
Bestow your vital fragrance of happiness
And giving
Upon our intimate assembly.

Change rooms in your mind for a day.

All the hemispheres in existence
Lie beside an equator
In your heart.

Greet Yourself
In your thousand other forms
As you mount the hidden tide and travel
Back home.

All the hemispheres in heaven
Are sitting around a fire
Chatting

While stitching themselves together
Into the Great Circle inside of
You.

It's with great honor for radiant womankind that we officially open up the doors on this site today.

Matrilumina is a very special creation and concept.
It's etymology is rooted in two words:
matrilineal- an adjective meaning inheritance through the female line,
and luminous- illuminated; radiating or reflecting light.

Our retreats and offerings are designed for women walking a path of light, you Beacons and Luminaries who illumine others and the world just by being YOU.

It is your nature to SHINE.

It is our nature to gather you in safe and sacred community and reflect your clear light and pure potential back at you.

We've created a space for the healers to heal, for the weary to rest, for the poets to inspire, for the photographers to capture, for the growing to thrive, for the driven to gain clarity-right at the edge of the world.

Welcome to a haven on the cliffs of staggeringly beautiful seaside California: Big Sur has been called one of the greatest and most beautiful meetings of land and sea in the world.

Esalen is a world renown retreat center originally founded upon the study and development of human potential. Oh, Esalen. You had us at permaculture. At sulfur baths. At organic meals.

From the website:

Esalen. The word itself summons up tantalizing visions of adventure, of unexplored frontiers, of human possibilities yet to be realized. There is the wonder of the place itself, 120 acres of fertile land carved out between mountain and ocean, blessed by a cascading canyon stream and hot mineral springs gushing out of a seaside cliff. There is the delicate and subtle Big Sur air of a late afternoon in May, the midnight mist of July, the drenching February rain. There are October nights so clear the Milky Way can light your walk along the darkened garden path. And always there is the sound of the sea.
Visit our Gatherings page to learn more about upcoming retreats at Esalen, and other breathtaking locations.

And always, there is the sound of the sea.



Love, Pixie
