Frequently Asked Questions
I want you to feel incredibly safe, grounded, excited, clear, and secure when choosing to sign up for this gathering. I’ve done my best to answer everything you might be wondering below.
In case you have questions not answered here, send me an email at camille@earthdaughters.org.
Please also review our Terms & Conditions.
Q: What do I need to do to book?
A: In order to reserve your space, you must first submit your application. Not all applications will be approved, so please thoughtfully respond to the questions. Upon approval, I’ll send you a confirmation email with a payment link to secure your space with your program fee. Your space will be held for 24 hours only until you secure your payment.
Payment information and payment plans are listed in the registration section below.
Q: What’s included?
A: If you scroll up to the “What’s Included” section on this page, you’ll find a detailed list of everything you’ll receive. To offer transparency, your program fee is priced separately from your room & board fee. Our program fee includes the full in person seven day event experience, all practices, special excursions, private boat trip, pre-event planning portal, and six months of group support.
The room & board fee includes seven nights private or shared accommodation at Okreblue retreat center as well as three farm to table meals, filtered water, tea infusions, and use of the Okreblue facilities.
These fees do not include travel insurance, flights to Greece, transportation to the retreat center, optional massages, optional tipping, or additional smoothies, snacks, or meals.
Q: How’s the weather in Greece in April?
A: Late spring, during the time of our gathering (April 26th to May 3rd) is my favorite time of year in Greece. Tourism season doesn’t start until late May or early June, making it the quietest and most affordable time for travel. Winter rains have blessed the land, making the spring water flow, and the Earth blossom in wildflowers. Days are typically warm and sunny, the sea is crisp and refreshing, and evenings are cool but pleasant.
It’s important to know that all 220 of the Cycladic islands are impacted by temperamental winds year round, meaning occasionally there can be unexpected wind storms that bring dust in from the Sahara desert.
In case we have extreme windy days during a planned field trip or boat trip, we’ll re-work the schedule and have a powerful group temple inside of our practice space instead.
Q: Where’s the retreat center and how do I get there?
A: Our retreat center Okreblue is located on the island of Paros in Greece at Filizi beach. International flights arrive in Athens or Mykonos. Paros can be reached by short local flights from Athens or Mykonos, or by fast ferries from Athens and all other nearby islands. You can find out more information about reaching Paros on the Okreblue website here.
In late September you’ll be invited into our Pilgrimage Planning Portal online with travel guides and information to help you prepare. In late October you’ll be welcomed into our community group to travel plan with other participants. We can set up shared or private group taxis and shuttles to help you get to our retreat center (at an additional cost.) There are also buses on the island and we can provide a schedule.
Because ferry delays and flight cancellations can happen, I highly recommend arriving at least one day early to Paros so you can give yourself extra buffer time and adjust for time zone differences before we dive in. I’ll provide lodging recommendations on Paros in our Pilgrimage Planning Guide. It may also be possible to arrive early or stay late at our Okreblue retreat center, depending on room availability.
Please wait to book any flights until your application has been approved and your payment has been made.
Q: Can I share a room if I book alone?
A: Yes! If you select the shared twin room option, you’ll be automatically paired with another participant. Most women who join our in person events are coming alone. If you book with a friend and would like to be roomed together, please specify this on your application. Both participants need to submit this request for it to be honored, to ensure it’s a mutual desire.
All private rooms are priced for one person only.
If you have sleep problems, are highly noise sensitive, or plan to make calls from your room, please book a private room.
Q: Are there payment plans available?
A: Yes, payment plans are listed in our registration section. To make our monthly payments as accessible as possible payment plans are offered by partners with our payment processor, including Klarna, Affirm, Afterpay and PayPal.
Some of these providers only offer payment plans to customers in the USA because that’s where my account is registered. If you’re in Europe, Canada, or Australia, click the PayPal option to see payment plans offered by PayPal. If you’re overseas but you have a USA phone number or bank account, use an IP blocker set to a USA address to display all payment plan options.
Q: What’s the refund policy?
A: For the full payment, refund, and cancellation policy, please come read our Terms & Conditions here. I can promise you that if you’re called to this event, you meet the requirements, and you step two feet fully in, this will be an experience you will treasure for your lifetime.
Q: Do you have scholarships or discounts available?
A: While I acknowledge that all women have the right to feminine healing work and to safe sacred female spaces, I do not have scholarships available at this time. I do have very flexible low monthly payment plans available to make it as accessible as possible. You can also come receive my many free offerings over at earthdaughters.org or join a lower priced future online course if you don’t have the financial resources to join.
Q: Can I just take an online course and get the same transformation?
A: It’s been my experience facilitating this work for the past ten years, that there are certain experiences that only work in person. While online you’re journeying in your own home with recorded practices and maybe a live Zoom ceremony every week, when you come join in person, we step into a transformational portal together for an entire week that transcends lifetimes.
You can expect to receive years, maybe decades, of healing and remembrance in one week.
During our gathering, I go offline, don’t check email, don’t do any other work, and give myself 1000% fully to our week together. Joining me in person is the only way to receive this depth and level of my presence and guidance as a facilitator and teacher.
In person in also the only place where I facilitate my signature transcendental dance meditations and where we do ritual work directly with the land. It’s also the only place where I teach fully alive in the moment transmissions, where I’m deep in the mystery beside you, being guided by what wants to happen uniquely in our dynamic group space.
Imagine not only feeling seen, honored, and celebrated through a screen, but completely embraced by the circle of sisterhood in actual real life.
In essence, it’s utter magic you have to experience for yourself.
Q: Do I need previous experience in this kind of work?
A: I require that you have a foundational basis of embodied spiritual practice through yoga, tantra, dance, or other conscious movement modalities in order to attend. I also require that you have a solid depth of self awareness and emotional maturity to be able to support yourself through potentially intense processes. We go deep somatically, spiritually, and psychologically, and this gathering is not for beginners.
It’s also important that you have experience with my teaching specifically, to ensure you resonate and it’s a good fit. Please have either attended one of our past online courses, one of our in person events in the past 4 years, or have participated in my free offerings such as my online workshops.
Q: I have a lot of experience in or am a facilitator of women’s work, will I still receive benefits, or is this for beginners?
A: This journey is specifically designed for healers and facilitators who either already work with women or desire to more fully claim those gifts.
While this gathering is not a professional training, it is intended to guide you deeper into your gifts as a Priestess across multiple lifetimes, to support you in your professional path in the way you’ve been called uniquely.
Only you know if the energy and transmission of this gathering resonates for you, and if you feel I’m a guide who can support the depths of your personal journey. Tune in and sense if you’re called to this experience.
If you’ve participated in my online courses over the years, or if you’ve been part of my past in person gatherings and received benefits, I have no doubt Priestesses of Gaia will blow your mind.
Q: I’ve joined your in person events in the past, will this event be different?
A: Yes, this is a completely new transmission that has never been guided before. If you participated in my past in person events and feel the desire to join again and go deeper, I would absolutely love to have you with us again.
Q: Is it worth the price?
A: I’ve done my best to price this event as low as possible while still being able to bring you the best I have to give. For transparency, room and board are priced separately (as this fee goes directly to Okreblue to cover their operating costs in order to host you).
Our program is a compilation of depth work I’ve cultivated in 14 years of global travel and self guided pilgrimages, thousands of hours and tens (or even hundreds) of thousands of dollars in trainings, courses, healing work, and research. It also includes private excursions to secret sites and nearby islands which would cost potentially thousands of dollars to do on your own. Paros is one of the most expensive destinations in Greece.
Simply put, this experience is absolutely priceless and has the potential to profoundly impact your life, your work, and in turn the abundance you bring into your world.
What’s that worth to you?
Q: Can I just join you next time?
A: I’ve chosen to offer this event in this time, because I’ve been so deeply called by the land to guide it, and that may not be the case ever again. While I’m deeply excited to connect with you in person (!!) this may be the last time I ever offer an event that’s so intimate.
It’s been more than 3 years since I last guided an event in person, and there’s absolutely no guarantee for when or if an opportunity like this will be available again. If you feel called to join us, I don’t want you to miss out. This is the time.
Please also note…
Participation is required for a powerful dynamic group experience. Please only apply if you’re excited to attend all of our group practices and to bring your whole heart to this experience.
While our immersion can be deeply healing and restorative, it can also be emotionally, energetically, and physically intense and tiring. You may need time before and after the event to rest and restore.
This is not a yoga retreat. We will not be doing yoga asana practices. Our practices will include the feminine arts of dance meditation, womb journeying, and Priestess temples.
Our work together is not a replacement for trauma therapy. Please come well resourced and able to hold yourself through deep processes.
Please read through all of our Terms & Conditions here.
Write to camille@earthdaughters.org if you have any other questions.
