A Transformative Experience

Together with Sacred Circle, Sistermoon will be hosting a ceremonial retreat from August 11-14th, 2026 on Harstine Island, Washington.

An intimate, immersive 3 day retreat designed for deep transformation.

This is a unique opportunity to move more fully into embodying your authentic self, stepping into trust and inner knowing in a welcoming and courageous community of women.

Following the Solar Eclipse we will facilitate a journey to invite in space to reflect. A total solar eclipse is an interruption-

What has been in the driver's seat that no longer serves you?

When you take a step back, what patterns do you notice?

What identities do you carry to define yourself, and do they feel true to you or is it time to accept a more limitless identity?

As a South Node eclipse, it highlights diminishing returns, calls for reckoning and clarifies what must be relinquished to allow space for what is to come.

This is a chance to redefine yourself, to walk away from systems or perspectives that don't match and raise your energy. What are you willing to confront, what are you ready to let go of?

You have sovereignty over your own life experience. This journey will help to align you in that truth.

Nestled in the woodland landscape of Harstine Island, we will gather at the serene setting of Sacred Circle. Surrounded by lush ferns and thick forest, there is a current of peaceful energy unlike any other place that resides here. We invite you to step into the quiet of the island forest, ready to plant the seeds of your evolution and receive what your spirit innately needs.

In order to care for the energy of the space we're creating, there will be a limited number of applicants accepted.

SAMANTHA MCLENACHEN

Samantha partners with Sacred Medicine and Spirit, to lovingly cultivate an energetic and physical space where people are safe to witness and release stories and identities that aren’t in alignment with who they truly are. She helps individuals expand into the most authentic version of themselves, not through bypassing old pain and burdens, but by facilitating a compassionate bond between wounded parts and the highest self, creating a space that finally feels safe enough for that tight, tangled knot in the heart and mind to be seen, gently unraveled, and integrated in wholeness. 

The value of compassionate, holistic medicine work oriented toward spiritual transformation is not something that can be quantified or contained, because human souls are infinitely precious and powerful.

SACRED CIRCLE

Sacred Circle came to Samantha in a vision at the end of 2023 while she was deep in her Wayfinder training. For a brief moment time collapsed, and she saw herself standing in the midst of a forest that felt like a holy cathedral. The land rose and fell, pathways stretched out from a central gathering and ritual space, and people had come from all over to join in communal healing and expansion. 

It wasn’t long after that a voice woke her in the middle of the night and instructed her to start looking for the land. With her beloved by her side and fully invested in the vision himself, they were led on a whirlwind adventure to the exact spot Samantha had seen, and by the end of December they were the new stewards of five and a half acres of forest on Harstine Island.

Since then they’ve been busy at work bringing to life their vision of an off-grid glamping retreat center that emphasizes connection to nature, reducing our human footprint, and good old fashioned whimsy.

ANDREA FACER

Andrea is a mother of four, an artist, healer, photographer, and lifelong student of personal transformation and healing. Deeply connected to nature, she has spent years traveling with her young children through wild landscapes, cultivating a love for plants, foraging, nature-based learning, wildlife, and the healing wisdom of the natural world. 

Reiki-certified and currently training in both holistic healing and traditional psychology, Andrea blends intuition, meditation, movement, and earth-based practices to help women reconnect with themselves and their innate wisdom. Her work is rooted in creating supportive spaces where women can explore healing, self-awareness, and personal growth. Andrea's own journey through motherhood, divorce, caregiving, and healing trauma has shaped her deep compassion and understanding of resilience. Inspired by matriarchal wisdom—including her passion for photographing orcas in the Salish Sea—she is committed to supporting women as they break cycles, reclaim their power, and become or return to a more balanced and authentic version of themselves.

RACHEL COOK

Rachel is a full time artist and intuitive, offering guidance and wisdom from learned experiences and holding the space for transformational sessions through the art of body adornment. As a 2/4 Emotional Projector, she has the gift of seeing with clarity and objectivity how to better a situation or set of circumstances. With the energy of Aries sun and rising placements, she is able to discern the point of entry and initiative actions to living out dreams and ambitions, embodying the energy of courage and decisive action. Her moon in Sagittarius and 12th house stellium allow depth of emotional experience and an ability to see and feel into the experiences of others, while the balance of multiple Capricorn placements manifests as a practical approach to learning and understanding from a logical perspective where these emotions can arise from and how to move through them. Her own life journey has cultivated an identity rooted in open-heartedness, leading by example through strength in vulnerability, an endless curiosity surrounding the depth of the human emotional experience and transcending suffering to lead a life filled with joy and gratitude at the center.
