A spiritual retreat for women who have outgrown the
life they have been living, and are done waiting.
Stop Performing. Start Becoming
May 12-16, 2027
Kinnikinnick Landing | Kelowna, British Columbia
With
Danielle Artigo | Tryna Gower
You have been so many things to so many people for so long. You are competent, capable, and deeply generous. You have built a life that, from the outside, looks exactly like what you were working toward.
And still. There is a part of you that has never been fully seen. Not even by yourself.
This retreat is for that part of you.
You Were Not Made to Perform Your Life
You have done everything right.
The therapy. The courses. The retreats. The spiritual practice. You have read the books and done the journaling, and you know, intellectually, that you are enough.
And still.
There is a version of you that has not been fully lived. You feel her in the quiet moments, when everyone else's needs have finally been met, and the house goes still. In the ache that rises when you catch yourself performing a confidence you do not entirely feel. In the dream, you keep putting back on the shelf because there is always something more pressing than you.
She has been patient. She has been waiting without complaint. But she is done waiting.
You have outgrown the life you have been living. Not because you did anything wrong. Because you have grown. Because the woman you are becoming cannot fit inside the container that the woman you were agreed to.
This is not a mindset problem. It is not something another course will fix. What is happening in you right now is an identity shift, a cellular-level remembering of who you were before the world got so loud about who you should be.
That is what this retreat is for.
Not to build a new you. To return you to the one who has been here all along.
Why the Four Faces of Woman?
What if nothing about you needs to be fixed? What if the parts of you that feel missing are not broken, but exiled? The Four Faces of Woman starts from that premise and goes from there.
Every woman contains four living archetypes. Not stages you move through and leave behind. Not phases of life tied to your age or your history. Dimensions of your wholeness that exist simultaneously, right now, in you. Each one has her own gifts. Her own wounds. Her own wisdom that belongs to no one else.
Most women are living fully in one or two of these faces and quietly exiling the rest. They have been the devoted Mother and forgotten the Maiden who knows how to follow her own delight. They have been the striving Queen and kept the Crone's hard-won wisdom locked safely away where it cannot inconvenience anyone. They have been so busy producing and achieving and caretaking that the part of them who knows things, who sees clearly, who is absolutely done pretending, has not been given permission to speak.
She has things to say.
This retreat moves through all four faces in sequence because that sequence is not incidental. It is the medicine. You cannot arrive at the full power of the Queen without first meeting the Maiden's longing. Without sitting with the Mother's devotion and the places it cost her. Without letting the Crone speak her unflinching truth, the one you have been managing and softening and making more palatable for years.
The architecture exists because each face prepares you for the next. This is not a weekend of insights you will forget by Tuesday. Before you leave Kinnikinnick Landing, these archetypes will not be concepts you understand. They will be women you have met. You will know them from the inside. You will know which ones you have been living with and which ones have been standing at the door, waiting for you to finally let them in.
The Maiden
She is wonder before it became work. She is the one who followed what drew her before her mind could explain why. She is also the one who learned, early, that she was too much or not enough. She is where your original wound lives. She is where your original wound lives. She is also where your joy went. And it is still there. Reclaiming her is not about becoming naive. It is about choosing to be fully alive on purpose.
The Mother
She is the one who loves so completely that she forgot to save any for herself.
Whether or not you have children, you know her. She is devotion and fierce love and the ability to hold everything together for everyone. She is also, for most women, the place where the self quietly disappeared. Not in one dramatic moment. In ten thousand small ones, each of which felt, at the time, like love.
She is exhausted. She is magnificent. And she has never once been told that she is also allowed to receive.
That is what we are here to change.
The Crone
The face most women spend their lives avoiding. The one who does not have time for pretending. The one who knows things she cannot explain and has stopped needing to explain them.
She carries the ancestors. She is the keeper of every threshold you have ever crossed. She is your most powerful face, and she has been waiting for you to stop being afraid of her.
The Queen
She is not a destination. She is the woman who has walked through all three faces and chosen, deliberately, to remain herself. Sovereignty without rigidity. Power without performance. The one who does not think her truth and then edit it. The one who says it. She is who you already are, when everything you have been performing finally falls away.
Four Days. Four Faces. One Homecoming.
Here is what the four days will look like
Wednesday Evening, May 12 — Arrival and Opening
You arrive to candlelight, a dessert bar, and the smell of living plants. Women are settling in from across the country. The greenhouse is already holding you before the evening formally begins.
At 6:30 pm, the sacred container opens. A welcome, a land acknowledgment honoring the Syilx people on whose territory we are gathering, and an opening circle. By the time you go to sleep, something in you has already started to shift.
★ Meals: Farm-to-table lunch and farm-to-table dinner on property.
Thursday — The Maiden and The Mother
The day opens with a cacao ceremony. Before any teaching begins, the heart opens first.
Danielle moves through the Maiden and the Mother: the original wound, the Persephone myth, the places devotion became depletion, and what it means to reclaim yourself in both. Somatic movement, inquiry writing, a channeled guided journey, and a mirror practice that asks you to simply be witnessed without performing anything in return.
A local floral artist joins the group in the afternoon to teach flower crown making. The Maiden made visible, worn, and celebrated.
The evening belongs to a local sound healer. You lie on a mat in the greenhouse and simply receive.
★ Meals: Farm-to-table lunch and farm-to-table dinner on property.
Friday — The Crone
Danielle opens the Crone: the face most women spend their lives avoiding. The one who does not have time for pretending. The one who has been carrying your ancestors and waiting for you to stop being afraid of her.
After lunch, Tryna channels a guided ancestor journey. What wisdom lives in your lineage that has been waiting for you? Her Soul Signature work reaches its deepest thread here.
As dusk arrives, the group gathers around a fire. What you are ready to release is offered to the flames. The Crone receives it. The fire asks nothing of you in return.
★ Meals: Farm-to-table lunch and farm-to-table dinner on property.
Saturday — The Queen
She arrives on the fourth day, as she always does: only after everything else has been walked through.
Danielle teaches the Queen. Tryna's Soul Signature work crystallizes with the astrological threads of your Sun Sign, Moon Sign, and Rising Sign. A spoken truth practice. The Dueling Channels live transmission. A photoshoot in the greenhouse. And the Queen love letter: written to yourself, sealed with wax, held beside the mandala overnight.
Then the group goes out. Dressed, lit from within, taking the Queen into the world for the first time. A private dinner at a beautiful local Kelowna restaurant. Spring in full bloom across the Okanagan.
You return to a transformed greenhouse. Music is already playing. The dance party needs no instruction.
★ Meals: Farm-to-table lunch on the property. Queen's Banquet dinner out at a local Kelowna restaurant.
Sunday — Closing and Departure
A closing brunch together. The mandala present and complete, holding four days of everything you moved through.
The closing circle. Each woman speaks one truth she is carrying home. One sentence. No more is needed.
Danielle and Tryna channel the closing transmission together. The sealed love letters are returned, each one with your name written on the outside. A brief word before you open yours: she wrote it at the moment she knew the most. Trust her.
Then the mandala dismantling. Together, you return the elements to the land that gave them. What was built was real. What you received lives in your body, not the petals.
You leave. Changed.
★ Meals: Farm-to-table closing brunch on the property. Accommodation breakfast provided by your hotel.

Accommodation
Accommodation is not included in the retreat investment. A curated list of recommended Kelowna hotels and accommodations close to Kinnikinnick Landing is provided upon registration. Please book your accommodation as soon as you register. May is the start of the Okanagan's high season, when the valley reopens after winter and rooms near Kinnikinnick Landing go quickly.
Kinnikinnick Landing
Where You Will Be
Kinnikinnick Landing is a working agricultural farm and botanical gathering space on the traditional territory of the Syilx people in Kelowna, British Columbia. The central gathering space, Snullustn House, means Gathering Place in the Syilx language. It is a greenhouse. Living plants surround you at all times. The land is tended with deep reverence for the seasons, the soil, and the people who tend it.
May in the Okanagan is a valley waking up. The orchards are in blossom, the vineyards are just beginning their new growth, and the light stretches long and soft into the evening. The air carries the smell of new bloom and turned earth.
This is not a resort. There is no spa. There is no pool. There is a living, breathing botanical space that will hold you in the way that only land can. An incredible local chef preparing food from what grows nearby. A fire at dusk. The greenhouse at night, full of candlelight and the sound of women who have found each other.
You will not leave wishing you had been somewhere more polished. You will leave wishing you could bring the space home with you. You become the land, it breathes you, you are it, it is you.
The question women always ask is: Who is holding all of this?
Why These Two Women?
Danielle Artigo
Channel, Healer, Teacher
Every soul is on a journey. Not the life you planned. The one your higher self chose before you arrived here. Danielle has spent her life learning to read that map.
She came to it first through story. As a SAG actor, commercial agent, film producer, and co-writer of a Hallmark Christmas movie she learned what every great narrative confirms: the most compelling journeys are not about what happens to a person. They are about who that person becomes because of it.
That understanding deepened into something she could not have anticipated. She has been channeling since her early twenties, expanding from the Angelic realm to the Ascended Masters to the Egyptian Neteru and the Christ-Magdalene lineage. When she works with someone she is not predicting what is coming. She is illuminating what their soul is actually seeking: what it is here to heal, expand, and remember on its journey back to love.
She is an Angelic Reiki Master Teacher with students across the United States, Canada, and Taiwan, currently writing her third channeled oracle deck, and has twice led women into the temples of Egypt, where the map her guides have been drawing for decades is etched into the walls.
Indigenous Spiritual Medium, Storyteller, Visionary
Tryna is an Indigenous medium and channel from northern British Columbia whose gifts move fluidly between the seen and the unseen, the creative and the sacred.
For over 30 years, she worked as a portrait photographer, capturing the essence of human stories through her lens, guided by intuition and the presence of her ancestors. When her Cree grandmother crossed into the afterlife, Tryna channeled her journey into a book, "become, begin to be," one of the most intimate acts of spiritual witnessing imaginable.
Now stepping into the film industry, she brings that same quality of seeing to new audiences: spiritual truth, emotional depth, and ancestral wisdom woven into story.
Her Soul Signature work grows from all of it. She invites women to see beyond the visible and reconnect with the deeper stories that shape who they actually are. When working one on one, Tryna shares each woman’s soul script that is given to her by spirit and her ancestors. Infusing this messaging with hopes that the women sitting before her can confidently step into their soul’s divine script fearlessly and lovingly to live their life feeling on purpose.
When the Two of Them Are Together
What happens when the two of them are in the room together is easier to experience than to describe. Their Dueling Channels format is a live co-channeled transmission where two lineages of guides speak through two women simultaneously, finishing each other's transmissions because the guides do. It is not a format you can prepare for. It is spontaneous, alive, and entirely specific to whoever is in the room.
It happens twice at Embody. Once in the middle of the retreat, when you are stepping into the Queen. Once at the very end, before we send you home. You leave held by two teachers who have genuinely seen you, and by the guides who work through them.
Who This is For?
You will recognize yourself in at least one of these. Probably more than one.
You are accomplished, capable, and quietly exhausted by the distance between who you are performing yourself to be and who you actually are.
You have done the therapy, the coaching, the courses, and the spiritual practice. You are not a beginner. And something essential is still missing.
You know things intellectually about yourself that you have not yet felt in your body. You are ready for the gap to close.
You have spent years being everything everyone needed you to be, and you are ready to find out who you are when you stop.
You are in a life transition, whether named or unnamed, and something in you knows you cannot do it alone.
You want real sisterhood. Not networking. Not performances of vulnerability. Women who have actually sat in the fire with you.
You are willing to do the real inner work, including meeting your shadow, your ancestors, and the parts of yourself you have been avoiding, because you understand that is where the wholeness lives.
This is not for you if…
You are looking for a relaxing getaway. This retreat asks things of you.
You are not ready to be seen. The container is deeply confidential, but you cannot hide here.
You are in an acute mental health crisis. This is transformational work held by skilled facilitators, not clinical crisis support. Please seek qualified professional care first.

A Note on Investment
If you are on the edge, sit with this question: What is the cost of continuing to live as a smaller version of yourself?
The Queen in you already knows the answer.
What You Will Carry Home
Not a certificate. Not a list of tools. Not five pages of notes you will never look at again.
You will carry home a body that has been reminded what it feels like to be inhabitable. A nervous system that has been held by land and fire and ceremony and the kind of laughter that only happens when women have really seen each other.
You will know who you are. Not who you think you should be. Not who everyone else needed you to be. Who you actually are: the one who was there before the roles began, the one who has been underneath all of it the whole time.
You will have a map of yourself, the four faces, your Soul Signature, your astrological north star, laid out with a specificity that makes being lost feel like a memory.
You will have a sealed letter from your Queen self, written in your own hand at the moment you had just walked through everything. To be opened when you forget.
You will have sisters. Not contacts. Not Instagram connections. Women who sat with you in the dark and the fire and the dance and the dismantling. Women who know who you are underneath the version of yourself you arrived in.
Something in you will have shifted that does not unshift.

Cancellation & Unforeseen Circumstances Policy
We understand that life can change unexpectedly. Our goal is to create a retreat experience that feels safe, supportive, and deeply worthwhile for every guest while also ensuring that we can responsibly honour the financial commitments required to produce the retreat.
Because Embody involves advance commitments to venues, accommodations, facilitators, travel, food, programming, and other services, we have established the following cancellation policy.
Your Responsibility to Protect Your Investment
We strongly recommend that every guest purchase comprehensive travel insurance at the time of booking, including coverage for trip cancellation, interruption, medical emergencies, transportation disruptions, and other unforeseen circumstances.
Your retreat registration is governed by the cancellation policy below, while your personal travel expenses—including airfare, accommodations, transportation, and other non-refundable purchases—are your responsibility.
Travel insurance is the best way to protect yourself financially in the event that you are unable to attend or circumstances affect your travel plans.
Cancellation by the Guest
If you need to cancel your participation in Embody, please notify us in writing as soon as possible.
Unless otherwise stated on your registration agreement or specific retreat offer:
Deposits and payments are non-refundable once received.
Retreat registrations may be transferred to another person with prior written approval from Embody.
If we are able to fill your space from a waitlist or replacement participant, we may, at our discretion, provide a refund or credit less any non-recoverable costs and administrative expenses.
We cannot provide refunds for missed portions of the retreat, late arrival, early departure, transportation delays, illness, personal emergencies, or circumstances outside of our control.
Cancellation or Rescheduling by Embody
Although we make every effort to hold the retreat as scheduled, there may be circumstances where we determine that cancelling, postponing, relocating, or substantially modifying the retreat is necessary.
These circumstances may include, but are not limited to:
wildfire, extreme weather, natural disaster, or environmental conditions;
unsafe air quality or hazardous conditions;
public emergencies or evacuation orders;
government or public-health restrictions;
venue closure or loss of essential infrastructure;
transportation disruptions;
acts of God or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control;
circumstances where proceeding would reasonably compromise the safety or wellbeing of our guests, facilitators, staff, or the surrounding community.
In these circumstances, our priority will always be safety, compassion, and responsible decision-making.
Where reasonably possible, we will seek to reschedule the retreat to a future date and transfer your registration to the new dates.
If rescheduling is not reasonably possible, we will communicate the available options to registered guests based on the circumstances and the recoverable funds available to us after our own non-refundable commitments and expenses.
Understanding Extraordinary Circumstances
Sometimes the decision to postpone a retreat is not based solely on whether the immediate physical threat is expected to continue through the retreat dates.
We may also consider:
the condition of the surrounding community;
displacement of local residents;
access to essential accommodation and services;
air quality and environmental recovery;
infrastructure and utilities;
the emotional wellbeing of our guests;
whether the retreat environment can realistically provide the experience we have promised.
We believe that being responsible retreat hosts means considering the bigger picture—not simply asking whether an event is technically possible.
Non-Refundable Travel & Personal Expenses
Embody is not responsible for non-refundable airfare, accommodation, transportation, meals, lost wages, or other personal expenses incurred by a guest.
Guests are therefore strongly encouraged to purchase travel insurance before making non-refundable travel arrangements.
If Embody is required to postpone or cancel due to extraordinary circumstances, we will do our best to work compassionately with our guests and explore reasonable solutions. Any goodwill accommodation we may provide in exceptional circumstances will be determined on a case-by-case basis and does not establish an obligation to provide the same accommodation in future circumstances.
Our Commitment to You
We don't create these policies because we expect things to go wrong.
We create them because responsible planning means preparing for the unexpected.
When you invest in Embody, you are investing not only in the retreat itself, but in the months of preparation, venue commitments, facilitators, accommodations, food, programming, and resources required to create the experience.
Our promise is that we will make decisions with care, integrity, compassion, and the safety and wellbeing of our guests and community at heart.
By registering for Embody, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to this Cancellation & Unforeseen Circumstances Policy.
We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance immediately after booking your retreat and before purchasing non-refundable travel arrangements.
