“I do not need fear my darkness.”
“This has been so potent and healing for me. Truly a non-negotiable component of what I’ve been needing.”

In-Person workshop
This five-night workshop meets women at a time marked by restlessness, emotional intensity, and a quiet pressure to evolve. Many feel pulled toward clarity and purpose while navigating distraction, overwhelm, or the sense of crossing an unseen threshold. This workshop experience offers the structure, safety, and ritual depth needed to restore coherence and reconnect with the instinct that guides real change.
The journey begins with a grounded orientation using the 4-D Wheel, a depth-psychological framework that helps you locate where your inner life is shifting and what is ready to emerge. From there, you step into a living mythic passage drawn from the ancient lineage of Inanna’s descent—an initiatory path where women recover courage, creative fire, and a renewed sense of wholeness through creating a relationship with their inner darkness rooted in presence rather than fear.

This immersive workshop is for you if:
You know in your bones it’s time to embody the next version of you and your creative impact in the world, but you don’t have the new pathway to get there – yet.


Join Dr. Roxanne Partridge, arts-based depth psychologist and certified 4-D Wheel practitioner, in an immersive transformative experience that brings myth into the living expression of your being. This is not just a workshop—it is a threshold. A sacred unraveling. A reclamation of your embodied aliveness.
The 4-D Wheel is an integration of somatic wisdom, earth-based spiritual traditions, neuroplasticity, and soul work, developed by Roxanne’s mentor, the late revolutionary sex therapist and healer Gina Ogden, and is sure to become a integral and beloved tool for your next evolution.
Each day, you’ll advance your elemental power base through the four quadrants of the wheel – Mind, Body, Heart, and Spirit – which correlate to the four direction and four elements. You’ll be guided through exercises with proven results of dynamic and holistic rewiring.

As we enter into the ancient myth of the great Sumerian goddess Inanna’s decent to the underworld to visit her Dark Feminine sister Ereskigal, we remember the rhythm of death and rebirth that is part and parcel of cyclical living in the world. With the stories and intentions you’ve brought to transform and activate, we travel through the seven gates of Inanna’s descent and create safe intimacy with what’s most vulnerable and desired.
Movement practice, ritual arts, mask work, dance party ceremony (our last night!), hypno-shamanic journeying, and embodied inquiry into the throne of your being (what I like to call Pussy, or the Oracle of Your Desire), you encounter layers of the psyche that live beneath analysis—where feeling becomes intelligence and the next shape of your life begins to reveal itself.
Women recover their wild dare, their feminine potency from the dark. This is a courage rooted deeply in the bodysoul and is richly other than the ego fantasies of will power of patriarchy. This is the capacity of mind-body-heart-spirit-soul connection, with clarity, joy, and expanded action.
The collective container holds this work with psychological rigor, emotional safety, and sacred playfulness allowing your heart’s true wild dare to be fully reclaimed in a way rarely possible alone
