Beyond the Good Woman: From Compliance to Wholeness


A Retreat / Initiation For Women

Co-Hosted by Kristina Kyser PHD, Somatic-Spiritual Educator & Michelle Titus, Feminine Anthropologist & Founder of Cummari

A 5-night retreat at Cummari for women who are already beginning to see clearly—and are no longer able to return to the versions of themselves that made everything feel manageable.

This is for women who can feel something shifting: in what you tolerate, how you relate, and who you are becoming.

An invitation to move beyond the patterns of compliance that once kept you safe—and into a deeper, embodied wholeness that no longer requires you to override what you know.

This is a space for women who are recognizing the cost of adapting to systems, roles, and relationships that requires you to shrink—and are ready to begin living in a way that reflects your own perception.

Many women who encounter this work describe a sense of being seen and articulated in ways they haven’t experienced before—and a clarity that becomes difficult to ignore once it’s felt.

This is a small, carefully held group of 8-10 women. A space where you can be met in that clarity, and supported as you learn to stay with it.

For many women, this process is not only personal but ancestral. 

As patterns of compliance begin to loosen, something else often becomes visible—the ways these patterns have been shaped across generations, and reinforced through culture, relationships, and systems.
