Reclamation Weekend — Coming Soon

The concept for Reclamation Weekend came from my own story of reclamation and talking with other women who were in a similar place. 

So what’s my story of reclamation? 

It’s learning to trust myself again. (An ongoing process.) 

It was standing up against injustice when someone I thought I knew, someone I trusted, began engaging in abusive behavior. Or, rather, when I began to notice it. And stop lying to myself about what I was seeing. 

But to be honest with myself and stand up, it took community. It took the willingness to speak my truth, listen to the truth of other women, and lean on their strength and the power of our collective story. 

It took getting really fucking honest with myself about where I was complicit in my own exploitation. 

It then took healing trauma. Which took working with a team of professionals for support.

It took a willingness to tell my story in a way that would not violate legal agreements. (So if this sounds cryptic, that’s not fancy marketing. It’s protective measures.)

It took a deep dive in the opposite direction from where I had been headed for a few years, which I’m still exploring, to figure out how it all plays together. 

It took trusting, when trust seemed very scary, because trusting someone else is what had led to me disconnecting so far from myself.

It took learning to reconnect with me and my own truth. (Another ongoing process.)

It took a willingness to be soft and gentle with myself. Softer and more gentle than I ever had been before. With anyone. 

It took burning down a part of my life I thought was perfect. Because it was hiding something toxic. 

It took time. And space. And help. And support. And community. 

So that’s what I’m offering you. 

Come spend the weekend with me. 

Reconnect with your truth.     

Remember who the fuck you are. 

And reclaim what society told you wasn’t meant for you. 

Because it was always meant for you. 

And they only taught you otherwise because they’re afraid of the power you’ll wield when you recognize that.
