The Sacred Feminine

Join us for this incredibly rich opportunity.

Open to all curious seekers and genders, this journey into the sacred feminine is thoughtfully balanced for body, mind, and spirit. 

Led by Erika Fryklepak, MA, eRYT 500, YACEP

Intellectually Stimulating 

with inquiry into myths and archetypes, societal constructs, and old/new modes of being.

Deeply Embodying 

through practices in ritual and ceremony, healing ways to move and connect with your body, deep listening and respectful touch in dyads and groups.

Topics Explored

Here is a sampling of themes for these two experiences:

  • Experiencing universal feminine archetypes through respectfully exploring myths from around the world.

  • Identifying the cycles we live within and how to honor them. Moon cycles, seasons / wheel of the year, phases of life (maiden, mother, wild woman, crone)

  • Identifying symbols of importance, ancient symbols in plain view, re-defining the holy

  • Identifying your unique leadership styles through archetype and group work, integrating aspects of self, and circle exploration.

  • Each day of the program will involve body practices (which may include): yoga asana, sacred dance, breath practices, self-massage, dyad work (may include gentle respectful touch), yoga nidra, seated or walking meditation.

REGISTER

Be immersed in the many aspects of the sacred feminine through the exploration of archetypes, gentle touch to and from others in the group, dance, ritual and ceremony, talking circles, and more. 

An impactful weaving of mythology and nectar-like embodiment practices: the myths and archetypal essence of goddesses from yogic traditions as well as ancient European origins; the symbols and wisdom of folklore; asana and movement practices focused on flow and connection; also enjoy steeping in the writings + stories of mystics from around the globe.

This experience is thoughtfully balanced to stimulate our intellectual selves as well as supporting the body and soul through yoga and women’s temple (feminine embodiment practices). This module is designed with time in nature together (weather allowing), which helps us to connect to the deepest source of ourselves.

TWO MODULES: 10 hour Yoga Alliance CEUs + 20 hour Yoga Alliance CEUs (or register for both and receive 30 CEUs). Details to come with Dates and Additional Details.

This training module is part of our Advanced Teacher Training Program, +300 YTT, and enrollment is open to those outside of the larger training (no advanced yoga experience required).

Meet Your Guide

Erika Fryklepak, MA, eRYT 500, YACEP

Erika has been guiding yoga since 2010. At its foundation in 2018, she was the original co-lead teacher and contributor of curriculum development at the House of the Gathering Yoga School. Additionally, she provided the YTT’s branding / website through her graphic design business, Erika Was Here Design.

Early in adulthood, a fervent desire to make-the-world-a-better-place motivated Erika to earn a BA in Women’s Studies (2004) and a MA in Advocacy & Political Leadership (2006) from the University of Minnesota Duluth, after which she set her ambitions toward a career of community organizing and political lobbying. 

After a time Erika shifted her vision from politics to spirituality, reframing the need for societal change, “It must begin within!” She completed 200hr YTT and +300hr YTT at Yoga North in Duluth (2011). Since then Erika has taught in many places including: retreat centers, corporate settings, studios, community centers, resorts, private homes, and even a theater! 

Erika continues to soften as she grows.

In recent years, Erika has been weaving together lifelong threads through the work of feminine embodiment spirituality. Long being passionate about the magic that happens when a group of women gather (gender non-conforming individuals included), Erika found a way to bring this passion into union with yogic teachings. A training with Awakening Women Wisdom School (2019) served as the catalyst to incorporate these practices into gatherings. 

As a mama of three, massively invested DIYer of their homestead with her husband, and owner of a small business, Erika Was Here Design, Erika lives creatively, spaciously, and enjoys cultivating experiences of authenticity, curiosity, and wonder.
