The Sanctuary  |  Riverwoods, IL

Join facilitators Daphne Paras and Jamie Roth for an extraordinary evening of transformation and empowerment. Both Daphne and Jamie are skilled in creating powerful, energetic spaces where participants feel deeply supported, safe, and empowered to heal, grow, and expand.

The evening will begin with Goddess Flow, a transformative 90-minute sacred somatic healing practice led by Jamie, designed exclusively for women. This unique journey combines sensual movement with sacred rituals to awaken your divine essence, nurture deep healing, and reconnect you with your body’s wisdom.

Following this grounding practice, we will transition into the Firewalk Ritual. Daphne will guide a 90-minute ceremony, inviting you to deepen your connection to the fire. Together, we will explore techniques to raise your energy, face your fears, and transcend personal limitations. The ceremony culminates with the opportunity to walk across the glowing coals—a powerful and optional act of empowerment.

Full workshop details and facilitator bios are provided below. Please note that substance use is not permitted before or during the workshop to ensure a safe, clear and focused experience. Walking across the coals is always optional. 

Goddess Flow

Unlock the power within you with Goddess Flow, a transformative 90-minute sacred somatic healing practice designed specifically for women. This unique journey blends sensual movement with profound rituals to awaken your divine essence and cultivate deep healing.

Sacred Somatic Healing: Engage in a guided somatic practice that taps into the body’s innate wisdom and energy. Experience profound emotional release and physical rejuvenation through intuitive movement. 

Empowering Rituals: Participate in rituals that honor and celebrate the feminine spirit. These rituals are crafted to help you align with your inner goddess and deepen your self-awareness. 

Share Circle: Join a supportive circle of women where you can share your experiences, insights, and breakthroughs. Build connections and find strength in the community as you embark on this healing journey together.

What we see with women who come to Goddess Flow is:

• Women having FUN and being playful
• Women beginning to speak their truth in all areas of their lives
• Women rising up into their natural gifts and talents, and really cultivating and owning themselves
• Women stopping the habit of playing small in their lives
• Women leaving unhealthy relationships
• Women shifting out of shame and judgment about their bodies and instead beginning to have a deep connection to the sacredness of their bodies
• Women developing a healthier connection to their desire for pleasure
• Women being more open to allowing sexual energy to move through their bodies
• Women releasing trauma and healing ancestral wounds

Goddess is for ages 18 and up. And is for all shapes and sizes and mobility because the movements are not static and strict. In class you are always encouraged to adapt, and make the movements what they need to be for your comfort and abilities.

Firewalk Ritual

For centuries, humans have walked on fire as a powerful ritual of transformation. Fire, the ultimate element of transformation, invites us to dissolve limiting beliefs—starting with the agreement that "fire burns"—and ask ourselves, "What else do I believe to be true that may not be?" This is a rare opportunity to step beyond fear and explore a new way of being.

The evening begins with setting clear intentions and communing with the fire. Daphne will guide you through the process, sharing the history and significance of firewalking, as well as the mystery and "science" behind it. We will take time to answer any questions and engage in a profound exercise designed to shift you from a state of fear to one of empowerment.

As we gather by the glowing coals, you'll have the option to walk, though participation in the firewalk is always optional. Whether you choose to walk or simply be present, you will receive the healing and transformation the fire offers, empowering you to carry this newfound strength into all areas of your life.
