For the woman who knows she’s meant to create something powerful…
…but something keeps getting in the way.
Maybe it's a lack of clarity. Imposter syndrome. Ancestral patterns. Fear of being too much, too visible, too new.
You already have everything you need within you. At Dragon Riding Co., we create the space for you to access it through joyful creative work, space in nature, held in community with other women on the same path. Here, you kindle your confidence and step into your full expression.
We know transformation deepens through ritual. Our experiences offer continued support both virtually and in person – full moon circles, monthly magick classes, and integration sessions.
We understand the psychology of your blocks and the magick that breaks them.
We will call upon the archetype of the Dragon to guide us in embodying bigger, brighter, unshakeable confidence.
There is a vision inside you that burns so bright.
Create clarity, and harness the magick of the dragon so that you can claim the full power of your brightest dreams.
Your fears guard your greatest treasure.
Learn how to speak the language of your dragon, tame the fire, and learn how to ride – so you can do, literally anything, that lights your desire.

(a day on retreat)
8:00am Morning Movement
Find a quiet spot to journal in the woods, go for a morning dip, or join us for some morning movement that will help prepare your body, mind, and spirit to transform the fire of the dragon into confidence and the power to manifest your desires.
9:30am Breakfast
Grab your coffee, tea, or beverage of choice and we will have a nourishing breakfast buffet ready for you. Find a cute nook of the woods to sit and journal in private or join your sisters at the communal table.
10:30am Dragon Circle & Altar Setting
Gather to invoke the archetype of the dragon, which will guide our experience on retreat. We’ll dive into journaling prompts, partner, and group activities. Expect a bit of movement, breathwork, and stoking and channeling that dragon energy!
12:30pm Lunch & Chill
Mostly plant-based with some intentional meat options, all meals balance hearty, warming flavors with fresh, vibrant ingredients—because every dragon deserves a feast.
2:00pm Confidence Embodiment Workshop
Step into your dragon’s skin—moving, breathing, and owning space like the fierce, untamed force you truly are. Through guided exercises, playful challenges, and deep somatic work, you’ll crack open the parts of you that once shrank in fear and let them burn bright with unshakable, fire-lit confidence.
5:00pm Dimensional Sound Bath
Journey beyond the edges of your everyday self, where the veil thins, insights ignite, and your inner fire reveals its deepest wisdom. Wrapped in soundscapes that vibrate through your very bones, you’ll surrender, expand, and emerge with an experience that feels both ancient and electric.
8:00pm Fire Consciousness & Dinner
What emerges from the fire? Ample time to explore and play with your connection of this powerful element. A dinner board will be available should hunger call! There will be some curated elements to this evening, and some free-flowing exploration.
9:30pm Moonlight Closing Ritual
We’ll arrive together under the moon and integrate the day by setting an intention, then setting it ablaze around a campfire. Is there something you feel ready to let go of? Something you yearn to call in? Speak it out loud and send it to the dragons, witnessed and held by yours in sisterhood.
Meet Your Sanctuary…
Tucked among towering redwoods and humming with the wild energy of the land, Venture Retreat Center is the perfect cauldron to gather in sisterhood to transform with the element of fire.
Every sleeping space at the retreat is designed for connection and rest.
You have the option of choosing from…
The Nasturtium Cabins 🌺 a secret hideaway in the woods filled with artistic touches that make it feel like a storybook retreat. (sleeps 2-3)
A Bell Tent 🏮 little canvas cocoons under the stars are a blend of glamping and adventure. (sleeps 2-3)
Serenity Yurt ☁️ a 700 sq ft sanctuary of soft canvas, perfect for shared dreams. (sleeps 6)
We’ll be sleeping collectively, just as fire-tenders and dragon riders should—rooms, tents, and yurts will be shared to foster camaraderie and connection. (If you’d like a private room – just ask!)
All sleeping spaces are in proximity to pretty outdoor vanities and toilets. Showers on site.
