Feast of the Great Mothers

A Three-Day Ceremony and Celebration Honoring the Ancestors and the Goddesses of the North and the South

December 12-14, 2025

Step into the mysteries of the Great Mother in this sacred fusion ceremony. 

 Together we will honor and heal through two of her radiant faces of the goddess—Tonantzin / Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mother of Roses and Stars of the South, and Frigg, Mother of Hearth and Snow of the North.

Through cacao ceremony, visionary plant medicine, traditional folk healing, prayer, sound bathing, and ancestral remembrance, we will gather as our ancestors once did: to release the burdens of the past year, commune with the sacred, and plant new prayers and blessings for the year ahead.

This is a pilgrimage of remembrance and renewal—a chance to reconnect with the Great Mother, celebrate life, connect in awesome community and step into 2026 with clarity, healing, and joy.

The Transformation You’ll Walk Away With

This is not simply a retreat—it is a medicine pilgrimage designed to help you:

  • Release the year’s burdens through sacred ceremony, with traditional egg readings (limpias), fire purification, and prayer.
  • Open your heart with cacao ceremony, reconnecting to joy, intimacy, and sweetness.
  • Expand your awareness through visionary plant communion, awakening healing and prophetic personal insight.
  • Reconnect with ancestors in candlelight vigil and ancestral altar practices.
  • Celebrate in community with music, sound, drumming, and dance.
  • Step into 2026 renewed with clear intentions, blessings, and belonging to the Great Mother’s embrace.

Seats are extremely limited.

"The retreat with Corin at Casa Condor was the best experience of my life! Corin teaches from the heart and is kind and caring. She has an authentic connection with Creator and is fearless in her teachings. She strives to help each and every one reach their fullest deepest potential and connection to creator. I chose the camping option and it was awesome. My tent was cozy and had the best morning views of Mount Shasta and a tiny space for my own solitude when I needed it. The mystery of the mountain did not disappoint after dark!!"

Why Guadalupe and Frigg?

This is a unique fusion of traditions—honoring the Great Mothers of both North and South.

🌹 Tonantzin / Our Lady of Guadalupe
Once worshiped in Nahua tradition as Tonantzin (“Our Revered Mother”), she re-emerged after colonization as Our Lady of Guadalupe, appearing to Juan Diego in 1531 as the brown-skinned Mother of Roses and Stars. She is beloved as a protector of the poor, a miracle-worker, and the embodiment of divine love bridging earth and cosmos.

❄️ Frigg
In Norse mythology, Frigg is the goddess of hearth, motherhood, prophecy, and snow. She weaves the threads of fate, protects families, and holds the warmth of the fire during long, dark winters. She teaches foresight, stillness, and the strength of community.

🌹❄️ Together: Goddesses of Roses & Snow, South and the North
By honoring Tonantzin/Guadalupe and Frigg together, we weave a bridge of remembrance—roses and snow, hearth and stars, North and South. This is a return to what all our ancestors once knew: that the Great Mother has always been the source of survival, healing, and love.
The retreat at Casa Condor was total magic. I received such deep healing and teachings from Corin and the land that I am finding myself still transforming. When I left Casa Condor, I felt like a whole new person, with deep soul connections with the people I shared this time with. Corin's channeling of Condor is so powerful, it lifts us all and helps us shed away the layers that don't belong to us. Corin is a beautiful channel of deep truth and joy.

    This retreat was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I connected and spent time with part of my soul family. I underwent intense changes. I enjoyed every minute!!!

    Here's what some folks have had to say about their retreat experience at Casa Condor...

    "A retreat with Corin is an experience of healing, a coming together in community with other like-minded, gifted human beings, and ultimately a gift to yourself to know your power. When I left I felt rejuvenated and grateful for all the blessings I received and the friendships I made."

    Denise B.

    "I felt welcomed and accepted immediately. Everyone was deeply committed to the work, trusting Spirit and their personal guidance to get exactly what they needed. The setting was supportive and conducive to accomplishing the highest and best. Magic!! "

    Valarie B.

    "Corin thank you so much for sharing your journey, your experiences and your spiritual practices with us. You are a perfect spiritual facilitator. You create a beautiful sacred space to allow Spirit to teach us.I had very deep learning and growth at Casa Condor. What I loved about this transformation is that it was gentle and with lots of sweet energy. I was enveloped in the wonderful energy at Casa Condor down to a cellular level and I can still feel it in my cells and energy field. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

    Renee L.

     "This retreat was absolutely transformational!!! The energies present on the land immediately help you release the densities that are hanging out in your energy field. As soon as I stepped onto the property I had a sudden release of the grief that I have been holding onto for too long."

    Linda G.
