The Art of Unwinding Retreat

Tucson, Arizona | Nov. 8–11, 2025

Hosted by Monarch Mystery School

✧ A Sacred Feminine Art & Ritual Retreat ✧

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

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.

It is a migration back to your original knowing.

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

Your hands will awaken.

Your body will listen.

Your art will become your prayer.

Amanda T.

“Grateful for the journey inward, the reflections & the connections made. Thank you Victoria & Daphny for making this experience unforgettable.

🜁 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.

Together, we’ll each create a sacred altar shawl—a custom silk piece dyed with plant pigments infused with intention—a reflection of your divine remembering, plus ritual roses, and more.

“You return adorned not just in beauty, but in knowing.”

Nina F.

“The week of the retreat really changed a lot of my life. I feel how it makes me happier & closer to myself.”
