An Invitation

Awaken the Sacred Within

Step into a deeply nourishing and transformational weekend designed to awaken the wisdom, radiance, and untamed power of the feminine. The Goddess Gathering is an invitation to reconnect with the sacred, wild woman within—embracing both shadow and light as pathways to healing, self-discovery, and embodied liberation.

When women gather in intentional sisterhood, something extraordinary happens: hearts open, ancient wisdom awakens, and a powerful field of Shakti (life force energy) begins to ripple outward—magnetizing new possibilities, desires, and dreams into being.

Over three unforgettable days, we will weave ancient tantric teachings, womb-centered practices, embodiment, ecstatic dance, artistic expression, goddess adornment, a professional goddess photoshoot, and immersive sound healing journeys into a rich tapestry of transformation. With live DJ sets by Daniela creating the soundtrack for the weekend, every moment becomes an invitation to move, feel, express, and remember the limitless creative force that lives within you.

Nestled on 13 lush acres of forest and walking trails, and nourished by lovingly prepared meals from our private chef, you will be held in a supportive circle of women as you release what no longer serves, transmute stagnant emotions into personal power, and reconnect with your most authentic essence.

This is more than a retreat—it is a living prayer, a celebration of feminine embodiment, and an opportunity to be fully witnessed, honored, and remembered in your creative power.

You will leave feeling more radiant, magnetic, liberated, and deeply connected to yourself and your sisterhood. Together, we will co-create an unforgettable experience that continues to ripple through your relationships, purpose, creativity, and life long after the weekend ends.

Daniela

Community Architect · Channel · DJ

Daniela

Daniela is a visionary community architect, former professor, DJ, event producer, and transformational guide whose work lives at the intersection of creativity, connection, and personal evolution.

As the founder of Deep Playa NYC and Her Name Is Shakti, she has spent years creating immersive experiences that bring people together through music, ritual, art, and authentic human connection — fostering environments where women feel empowered to express themselves fully and step into their highest potential.

Drawing from academia, festival production, music, and community leadership, Daniela has cultivated transformative spaces for thousands of participants across retreats, festivals, workshops, and gatherings.

In July 2020, Daniela's path deepened through a profound awakening that drew her into connection with archetypal feminine energies — Shakti, Green Tara, Hathor, and Lakshmi — a thread now woven through everything she creates.

Known as The Weaver and The Builder, Daniela carries these archetypes in her blood: her maternal ancestry are seamstresses — women who gathered threads and wove them into something whole — while her paternal ancestry are literal builders, craftsmen who raised structures from the ground up. Daniela builds communities. She weaves people together, holds space for the tender and the brave, and creates containers where women feel safe enough to be seen, to soften, and to fully bloom.

At Goddess Gathering, she brings her gift for weaving community, ceremony, music, and embodiment into experiences that invite women to remember their power, trust their intuition, and step into their most radiant selves.

Erin

Creatrix · Divine Feminine Mystic · Sound Healer

Erin

Erin is a Creatrix, Divine Feminine Mystic, and lifelong seeker of joy, depth, and truth. For more than two decades, she has been building community and creating meaningful connections that ripple far beyond any single gathering.

Drawing inspiration from Mother Nature and ancient wisdom, Erin leads with love as a designer, artist, feminine embodiment guide, sound healer, and Reiki practitioner. Her work is devoted to helping others reconnect with their authentic selves and embody their fullest expression.

As the founder of Out-dorz Skincare, the Goddess Circle, and Mystic Moon Retreat, Erin has woven together her passion for beauty, ceremony, and transformational experiences. She is known for creating heart-centered spaces where women feel seen, supported, and empowered.

Ten years ago, Erin's path deepened when she began exploring the Divine Feminine, discovering the profound wisdom of the womb and the power of embodied living. A devoted lover of dance and music, she believes movement and sound are among our most powerful pathways home to ourselves. Whether on the dance floor or in sacred circle, she delights in igniting the spark of aliveness in others — guiding women back to their wild nature through movement, connection, and self-expression.

At the Goddess Gathering, Erin will create transformative experiences through ritual, embodiment practices, dance, sound healing, and sacred ceremony that help women feel safe in their bodies, awaken their inner wisdom, and unlock their full pleasure potential.

Erin's dharma is clear: to demystify the Divine Feminine by reclaiming and sharing the ancient wisdom and embodied knowing that have been hidden for far too long. This is not new territory. It is our birthright.

In Their Words

What Past Sisters Share

Heartfelt words from past sisters.

Daniela N.
D
“I fell in love with the practices that were shared with me at the Mystic Moon event because it felt like a space where I was safe and it was also really welcoming as I went by myself. At the end, I felt so rejuvenated and relaxed. I met so many new women that appreciated understanding how to slow down and find healthier ways to rejuvenate and to regulate. I would love to join events like this in the future from Erin and Daniela.” — Daniela N.
