The Art of Unwinding Retreat

Tucson, Arizona | November 8–11, 2025

Hosted by Monarch Mystery School

✧ A Sacred Feminine Art & Ritual Retreat ✧

You do not need to become someone new. You only need to remember who you’ve always been.

Unwind from what the world told you to become and find who your soul came to be.

It is a migration back to your original knowing. This 4 day, 3 night sacred desert rite marks the return of the Maiden —the version of you who still remembers beauty, wonder, and creation.

Your hands will awaken.

Your body will listen.

Your art will become your prayer.

Stephanie W.

“Working with Daphny and Victoria CHANGED MY LIFE. I know, without a doubt, that my life will never be the same.”

🜁 The Invitation

The Art of Unwinding is a sacred pilgrimage to the desert heart of Tucson — where the silence of the saguaro, the softness of rose, and the power of ancient rituals will reawaken the creative fire within you.

Over 4 days, you’ll gather with a circle of wise, wild women to strip back what no longer belongs and reveal your essence through ritual, movement, and creating art.

You will create a sacred altar shawl—a custom silk piece dyed with plant pigments infused with intention—a reflection of your divine remembering.
