A Summer Solstice Womb Healing Retreat
June 20th | 1pm - 8:30pm | Private Home, Palacios, TX | Six Women
The Rose Within
Maybe you've been feeling something you can't quite name.
A quiet ache that doesn't have a clear source. A sense that you've been going through the motions for a long time. A creativity that used to feel alive and now feels muted. A body that you don't quite recognize anymore — especially as you move through perimenopause or menopause and everything feels like it's shifting.
Maybe you've never really had a relationship with your womb space.
Maybe nobody ever told you she was sacred. You may have even been taught that your period was dirty. That your body was something to manage, hide, or apologize for.
Maybe you carry stories you didn't even know you were carrying — stories your mother passed down, and her mother before her. Shame that was never yours to begin with.
Maybe you've had medical interventions in this space — IUDs, surgeries, births, losses — and nobody acknowledged that something sacred was being entered. You were just supposed to get through it and move on.
Maybe you've been doing all the work — the books, the journaling, the therapy, the spiritual practices — and you can sense there's still a deeper layer. A part of yourself you haven't yet been able to reach.
That part is your womb.
And she has been waiting for you to come home.
What is womb healing?
Womb healing is the work of returning to a part of yourself that was never honored.
It is not intense or overwhelming. It is not something you have to be brave or experienced or "spiritual enough" to receive.
It is a soft, sacred remembering.
Your womb space — whether physical or energetic — is the seat of your creativity, your intuition, your sensuality, your power to manifest, your connection to the women who came before you, and your own deepest knowing of who you are.
When this space is disconnected, dulled, or shut down, we feel it everywhere else.
We feel it in our creativity that won't quite come online. In our manifestations that keep stalling out. In our relationships, where we don't know how to receive love fully. In our bodies, where we feel numb or anxious or just tired in a way sleep can't fix.
But when we begin to heal our relationship with this space — when we approach her with gentleness, with reverence, with the apology she deserves for years of being ignored — everything begins to shift.
We become more alive in our own skin. More creative. More magnetic to what is meant for us. More able to receive love, abundance, and beauty without the old voice whispering you don't deserve this.
The womb is the bridge to the heart. When she opens, the heart opens. When she heals, the heart heals.
This is the work of The Rose Within.
What you can expect to feel by the end of this day:
🌹 A softer, more loving relationship with your own body — the one you've been at war with, ignoring, or pushing through
🌹 A felt sense of your womb as a sacred ally — not a problem, an inconvenience, or a source of shame
🌹 A quieter nervous system after a full day of being received instead of producing
🌹 Clarity on what you are ready to release from the first half of this year — and what you are ready to call in for the second
🌹 A reconnection to your creativity, your intuition, and the parts of yourself you may have lost touch with
🌹 The deep restoration that only comes from being held in a circle of women who are doing their own honest work
🌹 A sense of belonging to a lineage — the lineage of every woman who has ever sat in circle, lit a candle, anointed herself with oil, and remembered
🌹 A small bundle of sacred medicine to take home with you — so the day continues to live in your hands long after it ends
How It All Unfolds…

How It All Unfolds… *
🌹 We open in the rose garden You will arrive, settle in with tea, and walk into my family’s garden. Five varieties of roses bloom there — and one will call to you. You will ask her permission, give thanks, and receive her as your companion for the day. She will sit with you in meditation, travel with you through ceremony, and her petals will become your offering at the water at sunset.
🌹 We move gently and pray with our bodies The movement we'll share is rooted in the lineage of Neshama Womb Yoga from my teacher Ana Otero of the Desert Rose Mystery School. Slow, held, breath-centered movement that connects the womb space to the heart. You don't need flexibility, experience, or any prior practice. You only need to be willing to arrive in your body for a little while and let her lead.
🌹 We open the heart with cacao and sound Ceremonial cacao is one of the oldest plant medicines on earth — and her medicine is the heart. We'll prepare and receive her with intention, set our prayers into the cup, and drink together as the singing bowls begin. Ninety minutes of opening, receiving, and remembering.
🌹 We rest, reflect, and nourish A guided journaling workbook will hold our integration time with gentle, honest questions. We will share a communal meal prepared by my own hands. There will be space to wander the garden, sit on the patio, or simply be quiet with what is moving.
🌹 We receive group healing A held space for collective energetic healing — drawing on my training as a Magdalene priestess, the Violet Flame of Mother Anna, and the wisdom of the divine feminine in all her forms.
🌹 We walk to the water at sunset At seven, we will walk together to the bay. On the way, we will pause at the feet of Quan Yin, the goddess of compassion, to leave an offering and receive her blessing. At the water's edge, we will move gently as the sun descends, receive sound, and release our rose petals into the bay as our closing prayer.
Between the Hearth and the Water, She Waits…
A Sacred Moment
Quan Yin — goddess of mercy and compassion — stands quietly along our walking route to the bay. Every time I walk this path, I pause to greet her. Every time, she meets me where I am.
Many times, I chant her mantra, “Om Mani Padme Hum” as my offering. Other times I leave petals from the garden. Every time, I give my gratitude.
On June 20th, we will pause at her feet together. We will leave an offering that is meaningful to each individual. We will whisper what we are ready to release and place it into her hands. And we will walk on to the water carrying her blessing.
A quick note on my view of goddesses: I do not personally believe that goddesses are actual beings. I do, however, believe that each goddess is an energy that we all have the ability to tap into and embody. And Quan Yin is one of my favorite energies to work with.
A Rare Convergence of Energies
Sometimes the timing of a thing tells you everything you need to know.
The summer solstice — the longest day of the year, the sun at the absolute peak of its power before it begins its slow descent. A natural threshold between the first half of the year and the second.
The opening of the Hebrew month of Tammuz — whose element is water, whose sense is inner sight, whose energy invites us to see clearly what has been hidden within ourselves. The element of the month will literally receive our closing ceremony.
Fire and water on the same day. Above and below. Womb and heart.
This is not a coincidence. The day is calling this circle together.
If you have been feeling pulled to this — that pull is information. Trust her.
You bring your heart. Your truth. Even your mess. I bring the space to hold and guide it.
This is Especially for You If…
🌹 You are perimenopausal or moving through menopause and your body feels like a stranger to you
🌹 You have never had a real relationship with your womb space and don't even know where to begin
🌹 You were raised in a family or culture to believe periods were dirty, secret, or shameful — and that conditioning still lives in you
🌹 You have had IUDs, surgeries, or other interventions that nobody held with reverence
🌹 You have experienced miscarriage, abortion, infertility, or hysterectomy and have been carrying that quietly
🌹 You have a sense that your creativity, your manifestation, your magnetism is blocked somewhere — and you're starting to suspect this is where
🌹 You have been doing inner work for a long time and you can feel there is a deeper layer waiting
🌹 You are entirely new to this and just feel called
🌹 You long for a small circle of women where you can be exactly as you are

About Your Guide
Hi, I'm Esmeralda.
I am a Magdalene Priestess ordained through the Desert Rose Mystery School under my teacher Ana Otero. I am also a Sacred Alchemist — a sound and energy healer, a forever student of plant spirit medicine, and a daughter of the Mexican folk healing lineage I am slowly reclaiming through my mother and grandmothers.
I have been doing my own womb healing for years and have been on my spiritual journey for the last 15 years.
I know what it feels like to never have been taught that my womb and my period were sacred. I know the grief of medical interventions performed without ceremony. I know the strange ache of having lived for decades in a body I never quite knew without something between me and her.
I also know what becomes possible when we begin to come home to her and, ultimately, ourself. There is a strength in the softness and an aliveness that has never quite been able to filter through. There is this quiet sense of being whole again — sometimes for the first time.
The Rose Within is the first time I am holding a full-day retreat from my own home, in my own lineage, with my own hands. I have prepared for this in every way I know how — through study, through embodiment, through prayer, and through the years of my own homecoming.
I am ready to hold this circle. And if you are reading this, I believe she is ready to hold you.
From my hearth to yours.
Ahava, Esmeralda 🌹

Limited to 6 women. This intimate circle size is intentional — it allows for the depth of holding this work requires and deserves.
I believe this work should be accessible to every woman who feels called. I strive to create programs, retreats, and offerings that are inclusive and try my best to make them as affordable as I can.
Let’s take this journey together.
