Women Walking The Path
A Women’s Weekend Retreat for Rediscovery,
Reflection & Reclamation
July 30th-August 2nd | Upstate, NY
You will move, breathe, and linger in ways that reconnect you to the fire inside. You will explore the parts of yourself that have been hidden, denied, or dulled, and let them bloom again in their full, unapologetic sensuality. This is a return to your own pleasure, your own power, your own magnetic essence.
By the time you leave, you won’t just remember your sensual self—you’ll own it, radiant and alive, ready to move through the world fully awake to your own power.
Why This Retreat Will Transform Your Life
We will gather in a beautiful, nourishing space nestled in nature.
We will cry, move, laugh, release, breathe, remember.
We will peel back the layers.
We will become.
-
Personalized Spiritual Guidance Using Shamanic Initiations
Using shamanic initiations, we will explore the impact of our family of origin, consciously choosing what we carry forward, and unlock the subconscious stories driving our lives so that we may rewrite the narratives that have kept you from meeting yourself—fully, honestly, lovingly.
-
Practical Techniques for Powerful Remembering
Become deeply immersed in the work of becoming more yourself through sensual embodiment, intimate exploration, and rejuvenating reflection with us. We don’t just teach this—we live it. We’ve walked through the fire, and we’ll walk with you as you meet your own.
-
Join a Supportive Community
You will be held. Not coddled. Held. By women who are just as devoted as you are to walking this path with courage, reverence, and truth.
The Reckoning
Return to the Woman You Were Born to Be
Somewhere deep within, you feel it.
A heat. A pulse. A hunger that cannot be ignored.
It’s time.
Time to turn the page.
Time to shed the stories, the shame, the skin that no longer fits.
Time to come home—to the fierce, radiant, fully embodied woman who aches to move, feel, and be tasted by life itself.
You’ve dimmed your light.
You’ve silenced your longing.
You’ve tucked away your erotic self to survive in a world that demands you shrink.
But she’s still there—undimmed, burning, waiting. Ready.
It’s time to remember.
To remove the veil.
To reclaim your body, your pleasure, your power—every inch of you alive and awake.
This is for you if:
• You feel a fire inside you, just beneath the surface
• You’re done settling for numbness, disconnection, and shame
• You’re ready to rise—bold, embodied, and unapologetically turned on
• You know there’s more to your womanhood than what you’ve been told

Briana and Alana:
Briana Cribeyer
Relationship & Intimacy Guide
Sacred Sexuality Facilitator
My name is Briana Cribeyer. I was born under the full moon in the Midwest of the United States as the youngest daughter of a high priestess. I grew up eavesdropping on the creation of rituals and ceremonies of the sacred. I talked to plants and animals and listened deeply to their messages. Years later, fleeing the Midwest, I found wisdom in the mountains and forests of Colorado, New Hampshire, Washington-- and living abroad in Japan and throughout South America. In that time, I absorbed the ways of the elders, and began to craft my connection back to the mother (earth) and womb medicine through movement, prayer, and shamanic practice.
I am a facilitator for ISTA, the International School of Temple Arts. I’m also the founder of the Sacred Sexuality Rising community, a lead trainer for Intuitive Tantra, speaker and facilitator for The Ohio State University on the topic of sacred sexuality, and Executive Director of the Columbus Coalition for Sexuality.
My belief is that deep and radical love, coupled with ownership and self-responsibility will shift the trajectory of humans on the planet.
Alana Varel
Intuitive Coach
Psychedelic Facilitator
Alana is a devoted guide and sacred space holder in the world of psychedelic healing, blending ancient practices with an intuitive approach. Her journey into psychedelics began in 2015, leading her through profound inner landscapes that redefined her life’s purpose. Following the sale of her successful marketing and public relations business to Vice Media in 2016, Alana dedicated herself to guiding others on their paths of healing and self-discovery. In 2020, she co-founded a community that has since welcomed nearly 1,000 individuals into monthly gatherings and private sessions, fostering a compassionate, intentional approach to psychedelics.
Alana leads sacred women’s circles, guiding women to reconnect with their divine feminine energy and inner wisdom. As a practitioner of sacred sexuality, she honors the integration of body and spirit, working to create spaces for women to reclaim their sacred magic. A mother of three daughters and a Vipassana practitioner, Alana brings a grounded, meditative presence to her work, centered on cultivating self-esteem and inner peace. You can connect with her on Instagram at @underground.mama, where she shares insights on safe psychedelic practices and sacred women’s work.

Our Students’ Transformative Experiences With Us
Hear what others have to say about working with Briana and Alana in previous trainings:
I’m so glad I went. I walked away with a deep sense of surrender, trust, sensuality, and self. It felt playful, yet profound. I learned that my 'no' can be met with celebration, rather than discomfort or pain.
I’m incredibly grateful for the easy exploration and immaculate love that was woven through each process, and I can’t wait to attend another one of her events in the future.
Briana is an expert facilitator, and easily guides each of us women into our own truths, yeses, and 'nos,' while also having us connect deeply with each other and the delicacy of our sensuality.
