Attunement to your soul hunger and nourishment.
Feast is a ceremonial container for wild women at heart who are no longer willing to starve themselves.
Starve their bodies, their instincts, their wanting, their knowing. To stop edging around their hearts, power and desires. 8 weeks of online containment and one immersion on the land, we work with food, movement, pussy, ceremony, eros, and the motherline to feel soul hunger and stay present with it until it reorganizes you from the inside.
Feast is for women restoring receptivity to life as their source of radical presence and embodied power.
Feast is for you if you want a literal pilgrimage into your relationship with nourishment. To imprint you with a full on sensory experience that will etch into your body and mind a pivotal moment on your life path.

The Focus:
Eros
1
A powerful woman is one who can return to her body and inhabit herself. Your body houses the current of eros – a primal desirous energy that compels you to experience deep aliveness. Those desires you have to create, to experience, to feel...they are not dangerous. They are here to shape you as a woman. The more you embody yourself here the more you will lose some approval. As much as culture says it is all for women's empowerment - it actually is terrified. Still, is it worth it? Is it worth it in this 1 life of yours to feel like you are living it not for approval but for the raw integrity of your soul? We all contain power. But to be empowered is to be awake within it
Nourishment
2
Your receptivity to co-creating with life is what nourishes you. And nothing will ever fill the hole except the real thing. Your relationship to nourishment is on the table at Feast. Being scarce with your needs and desires is no longer negotiable. Being avoidant will be met. Shadows from where you withhold your hunger will be gazed into - and fed.
Our responsibility is to our nourishment.
The path of maturity is recognizing that no one will read your mind, you cannot go back in time, and it is truly on you and within you to create the conditions that tend to your vitality. Maturing in your devotion to this is what we celebrate at Feast.
Ps we are going to FEAST literally, too.
Motherlines
3
Bringing prayer to clarify ancestral bonds that tie us to scarcity, shame, fear and body rejection. Through Tonglen practice for your Motherline, an ancient Buddhist breath and compassion technique, and Shadow Work, you free up the energetic attachments to ancestral malnourishment. The Motherwound is core to all humanity. It is our fracture from nourishment, receptivity, feeling, and the body / earth. It is mirrored through our mothers and the collective nervous system of women who walked with us. Stepping towards the motherwound gate and moving through it is how we restore the feminine pole in our world.
Pussy
4
Nourishment for your physicality and your sexual energy. Embodiment practice supports you to touch in with your pussy and root, and anchorin your lower centers from which you walk and speak from.
Feast will feed you at the soul, physical and shadow terrains.
Feast Guide: Maxine Iharosy
A genuine wild woman of the heart. I have had over 15 years experience guiding others into relationship with their bodies and soul. Nature connection has been a through line for all iterations of my work. My current calling as an embodiment guide, and the thing that has been at me for awhile now, is giving women high-touch sensory experiences in nature where they connect to their raw truth and internal nurturing force. I bring power, humour, and an erotic permission slip to your journey. I am a woman who both leaps and holds back. And I understand intimately the experience of being scarce with your soul hunger.
I dive into the subtle places where spirit and matter meet, to bring awareness to what has been unconcious, and guide women to tend to their inner fire.
With this inner fire we see into shadows, we can mobilize and thaw frozen facades, and we expand our erotic beingness. Which honestly, the world so desperately needs.
My main question that has propelled me on this path of becoming a Teacher to the Soul’s tune, is “why do women admire nature but reject their own bodies?”
That question has stayed with me year after year. It guides me. It provokes me to look at where I myself am fearful of my own animal body, where I distrust my own power, where I split off from my internal nature.
It is with deep gratitude to the lands, my mentors, ancestors and my own heart, that I bring Feast to the table for you.
FEAST is a synthesis of my deepest bodies of work:
NEEDY BITCH: teachings on the fawn response and internal empowerment to needs, wants desires.
TEND: the path of tending to your vitality through the body, beliefs and shadow work.
HOWL: for getting intimate with the see me/don’t see me wound
