A Goddess Tent Gathering of Inner Fire, Renewal & Returning Light
At the midpoint of winter, a gate opens.
Not yet spring, not quite dark — a place of fire and remembering.
Imbolc’s Midwinter Gate invites us to tend the flame within, listen for what stirs beneath the cold, and prepare the ground for what is ready to grow. This is a threshold moment in the Wheel of the Year, traditionally honoring Brigid, Goddess of fire, healing, the promise of spring and new beginnings.
What are Goddess Tent Events?
These events are co-creative day-retreats for badass women in our community — a living, changing container where embodiment, creativity, and connection meet. They are an ongoing collaborative series, where local teachers, artists, and holistic practitioners come together to offer meaningful experiences aligned with seasonal rhythms.
Rather than consuming an experience, we co-create it together — through movement, reflection, shared presence, and play.
These events are hosted by Aubrey Shoham and supported by Keri Trimble, co-owners of The Unwinding Space, who share a vision for intentional community and embodied connection.

Erin Call - Midwinter Sensual Oracle: Goddess Yoga
In our sensual movement workshop we’re going to awaken the quiet fire within, guiding each of the women to feel, move and embody the desires and creative spark that she’s ready to birth this season. At this threshold, I’ll be inviting the women to experience the power of emerging from the “underworld” & being fully alive, fully seen and attuned in their beautiful bodies (so they are resourced to birth in the spring!) All the women can expect a sensual movement class, a share circle with an intuitively selected introspective prompt for each woman, sensory play props (think roses, feathers, belly dancing skirts, silk scarves to choose from), throat chakra activation, somatic release and an experience that is anchored in through a grounding integration/savasana.
More About Erin:
“Hi, I’m Erin- spiritual midwife, community creator, and embodiment guide in the feminine art of expansion. I created Seasons of Sensuality because the women birthing the new world have been exhausted. They’re leading movements, holding communities, raising children, building businesses, birthing their art & often disconnected from their bodies, rhythm, and pleasure. And together, we’re envisioning a new world. Seasons of Sensuality is not indulgence. It’s a sensual regulation community- a rhythmic, devotional, depth full & playful container where women come back into their bodies, remember pleasure as fuel, regulate their nervous systems, and stay alive while they lead. Alongside that, I created Soul Naked: The Experience- a womb-led initiation for women in a true birthing season. Not someday. Not metaphorically. Now. Through the Soul Naked Method, I work with women actively birthing a new legacy in their life, love, or leadership….whether that’s a creative body of work, a business or offering, a new way of leading, a marriage being re-awakened, a devotion to pleasure, or a home anchored in eros and presence. Everything I offer is about sustainability for feminine expansion …so women can birthing what is coming through, while honoring their body’s wisdom, rhythm, and turn-on. I’m a somatic Breathwork & energy medicine facilitator, sensual movement instructor, certified hypnotherapist & life coach, reiki practitioner and student of the feminine mysteries (also a birth doula). I have a background in the beauty industry and degree in marketing & media arts. Mama to 4, dog mom, wife and lover of travel, food, coffee shops, dance and nature (and fake eyelashes- always holding the polarity)”

Sammie Chaffin - Awakened, Not Activated Reclaiming Inner Authority Through Grounded Awareness
Awakened, Not Activated is a grounded learning and experiential session designed to help participants recognize and move out of survival-based patterns without forcing change or overwhelming their system. Rather than “activating” energy or pushing transformation, this experience centers on awareness, safety, and choice — allowing intuition and inner authority to emerge naturally. Through mindset teaching, shadow awareness, and gentle embodiment practices, participants will explore how survival patterns shape identity and self-trust, and why their blocks are not failures but learned adaptations. The session reframes the “witch” as intuition, discernment, and self-leadership rather than performance or aesthetics. Participants leave feeling more grounded, clearer in their self-trust, and connected to an embodied sense of inner authority they can carry into daily life.
More about Sammie:
“My name is Sammie, and I’m a mindset coach and shadow alchemy guide supporting people in transforming survival-based patterns into self-trust, clarity, and inner authority. My work focuses on helping individuals understand how their nervous system, conditioning, and lived experiences shaped who they learned to be — and how to reconnect with themselves without force, bypassing, or overwhelm. Rather than pushing positivity or “activation,” I guide people into awareness, discernment, and choice. Through mindset work, shadow awareness, and grounded embodiment practices, I help clients meet their triggers and blocks not as failures, but as adaptive responses that once kept them safe. My approach is practical, intuitive, and deeply human, offering a sustainable path back to inner authority, emotional regulation, and embodied presence that can be carried into everyday life.”

Jen Hoeprich - Rekindling the Flame: A Brigid Candle Ritual for Renewal & Purpose
In this sacred group experience, participants will connect with the energy of Goddess Brigid and the element of fire to reignite a part of themselves that is ready to return, renew, or shine more brightly. Through storytelling, reflection, candle magic, movement, song, and shared declaration, guests can expect a deeply embodied ritual held in intentional sisterhood. Together we will choose candle colors aligned with personal intention, carve meaningful symbols into wax, light our flames in community, and witness one another’s intentions. This workshop offers inspiration, connection, and belonging—leaving participants feeling warmed from within, reawakened in passion, and deeply supported by the shared power of sisterhood as they carry their light back into daily life.

Lucy Blu - Dancing with Your Inner Goddess: An Ecstatic Dance Journey for Imbolc's Midwinter Gate
As we stand at the threshold of Imbolc, the sacred midpoint between winter solstice and spring equinox, we honor the returning light and the awakening of the goddess within. Step into your divine feminine power and dance with the goddess that lives within you. In this transformative ecstatic dance journey, you are invited to honor, awaken, and embody the sacred feminine essence that has always been yours. Like the stirring of seeds beneath the frozen earth, we gather to welcome the first whispers of spring, the rekindling of our inner fire, and the rebirth of our creative power.
Through introspective, free-form movement and carefully curated music, we create a safe container where you can shed the layers of expectation, doubt, and limitation; and remember the goddess you truly are. This is a celebration of your strength, your softness, your wildness, and your wisdom. As you move, you'll reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been waiting to be seen, heard, and expressed. Through rhythm and freedom, you'll dance with your shadows and your light, welcoming your inner goddess home at this potent time of transformation.
No dance experience necessary! Just bring an open heart and a willingness to move, feel, and transform. In this sacred space at the Goddess Tent, movement becomes prayer, and you become the embodiment of divine feminine energy emerging into the light.

A pause before the rush of spring
Reconnection with your body and intuition
Community that feels authentic and warm
Space to clarify what you’re nurturing this year
Ritual without rigidity, wisdom shared without hierarchy

This full-day experience is designed to connect you with:
Your physical body — grounded, awake, and resourced
Your inner self — clearer, steadier, and more trusting
Feminine community — seen, supported, and inspired
As we savor the last moments of winter, we make space for vision, intention, and the quiet excitement of what is beginning to grow.

Come remember what you are becoming.

Aubrey Shoham: Goddess Tent Hostess
“Goddess Tent Events grew from my love of collaboration, embodiment, and intentional community. These gatherings offer space for women to reconnect with themselves, each other, and the rhythms of the year, while highlighting the unique gifts of local practitioners. I believe that when we gather in co-creation rather than competition, something richer becomes possible for us all.”
