sister beloved
an Immersive weekend at akera
February 28-MArch 3, 2025
A sacred gathering for women ready to amplify their innate vitality and rediscover the beauty of connection. Set in the serene foothills of the Catskills, this is an invitation to soften, expand, and root deeply into the truth of who you are.
In this moment, the world calls for women to step into their truth — not alone, but together. Sister Beloved is an invitation to amplify one another’s brilliance, hold each other in alignment, and celebrate the sacred beauty of connection. It is a space for witnessing, for being seen, and for deep remembering.
This is your call to return to yourself, to dance in your resonance, and to embody your sacred power.
For creatives, leaders, givers, and care providers, who long to pour their energy back into themselves and raise a glass to their sisters in celebration. This isn’t a time for striving, but softening, aligning, and embodying the power of your vital spark.
A space to rest, melt into being, be held in deep presence, expand through joy, and amplify your resonance.
If you’ve been longing for something more — more connection, more alignment, more authenticity — this is your opportunity to embody the fullness of who you are.
Revel in the “work” of being. Sister Beloved isn’t about fixing or figuring it out. This is a time to drop into place together and discover what happens when women are deeply held and nourished together. Experience what it’s like to expand into your fullness from a place of relaxation.
I’ve had my ear to the ground listening to creative, passionate, and devotional woman. Attuning to the psychic field in ceremony. Listening to the wild alignment of my sacral.
What I’ve heard is a deep humming desire for community; a call to return to what so often feels like a dream of sacred places for women to gather in personal and communal power. To put down screens and schedules, to pivot from what drives our days and the roles we play. Not as an escape, but as a return to something vital. To be replenished, nurtured. To remember ourselves and each other as Beloved.
From here, we send a ripple of greater aliveness out into the world.
You don’t have to hold it all together. You don’t have to keep giving without replenishment. This is a chance to step into a space where you can let go, be held, and truly nourish yourself.
This is about more than rest. It’s about resonance.
More than community. It’s about sisterhood.
More than being. It’s about embodying your truth.
If you know creating more room for life-affirming joy is more powerful than your burnout, join us.
Sister Beloved at a Glance
Who is Sister beloved?
meet your facilitators
This offering comes to life through the power of collaboration and a shared commitment to integrity. Here, you’ll meet the three dedicated women who will be holding space with care and guiding you with intention, honoring each breath of our journey together.
Roxanne has been a keeper of sacred fire for lifetimes, guiding the embodied liberation of female-bodied souls with fierce love and unwavering devotion. Described by workshop participants as a “timeless tree”—grounded, expansive, and life-giving—she nourishes women at their roots, shelters them in their becoming, and shows them how to rise and thrive.
For the past 16 years, Roxanne has poured her heart into embodyperiod., weaving together depth psychology, creative arts praxis, ritual, integrated sexuality healing, menstruality wisdom, and the reclamation of dynamic, empowered personhood. Her work spans across realms, from lecturing at international Jungian conferences to leading shamanic extractions and tantric bliss activations. Whether she’s helping clients break free from doubt, awaken their courage, or align with their deepest loves, Roxanne’s presence moves through every layer of being—heart, body, mind, spirit, and soul.
To be in Roxanne’s Field is to Be Transformed.
You can read more about Roxanne here throughout her website. What she wants you to know right now is that Sister Beloved exists because of women who dared to dream and live from the raw, uncontainable power of their life force. If you’re reading this, you are one of us — a woman who feels the call to root deeper, rise higher, and live more fully alive.
Come, sister. Join us. Let’s be the dancers of the Three of Cups, a sacred circle of joy, connection, and unapologetic vitality. Together, let’s step into this moment in history and rediscover what’s possible when we rise as one.
Ashley is devoted to guiding women back to their deepest truths, where life feels rich, alive, and connected. With over 13 years of experience leading retreats and working one-on-one, she creates spaces where rest, connection, and embodiment spark renewal.
Her work is rooted in the belief that when women embrace their authentic power, they unlock a way of living and leading that’s both magnetic and ture.
Horses are her greatest teachers. Their intuitive presence has shaped not only how Ashley works but who she is. Over years of partnership, they’ve shown her what it means to read energy, honor emotions, and hold space for transformation. Their sensitivity and honesty have taught her to lead with trust, presence, and quiet strength – the same qualities she offers to every woman she supports.
From her tranquil farm in Tennessee, Ashley integrates the wisdom of these incredible animals into her work. One-on-one sessions often include the guidance of her horses, creating opportunities for profound healing and self-discovery. Whether during a solo session or a retreat, Ashley brings women back to their own natural rhythms through the grounding power of nature and the sacred lessons of her equine companions. Her work is a call to come home to yourself, to find grace in your edges, and to remember the beauty of living fully alive.
Keena Maya, a sound artist, DJ, instrumentalist, and hypnotist, is devoted to creating dance rituals that guide seekers toward a holistic embodied evolution—connecting the self, community, and the Earth.
The depths of Keena Maya’s transmissions are incantations, drawing us down into our roots, grounding us into our bodies, and invoking the incandescent deity within us to rise.
Her sound, known as BASS BLISS, merges organic electronics with global rhythms for heart-centered expansion and feminine awakening.
She is half of the ritual bass project b e i n g – s o u n d, a pillar of the feminine powered Collective BAE, and an international Ecstatic Dance DJ.
Roots in Brooklyn and currently stewarding life in the Hudson Valley of New York, Keena Maya is, so that we may become.
