We invite you to do the same. Gather in the stillness, release what has grown heavy, pour into one another, and honor the woman you are before asking who you will become.

To Be Witnessed: The Retreat
This summer Kat and Cal hosted their first gathering for women that was centered around celebrating and honoring our body during whatever season of life we’re in. To Be Witnessed is back for the winter under a retreat format, with extended time to foster deeper connection with each other and offer more opportunities for expansiveness, reflection, and integration.
In many cultures, winter is seen as a time for rest, preparation, and stillness. The darkness of night can stir a sense of angst or discomfort within us. As the natural world sheds and buries what is no longer needed and prepares for the arrival of new life, so can we honor what is ending, rest in the space between, and prepare ourselves for what is yet to come.
Winter offers us such a sweet message of balance. We cannot have life without death. We cannot have fullness without a period of emptiness. Drawing inspiration from nature herself, we invite you to gather with us in the heart of winter.
There is medicine to be found when we come together as women during a time when the earth rests
…to pour into each other, and be poured into
…to let go of old, tired stories that are still weighing you down
…to honor the woman you are, and to visualize who you’re wanting to become
…to practice being seen
Join us at Rising Ridge for a medicinal, nourishing overnight gathering. The 24 hours we spend together will be thoughtfully curated with movement practices, ceremonies of release and renewal, and of course, your personal spotlight moment with each photographer. This event designed to get you out of your head, into your body, and open you up to receive the sacred medicine of life.

Meet Your Hosts
Callyn Francisco
I love using photography to help people come home to themselves. There aren’t many things more powerful than witnessing a woman step into her power and take up space. I’m here to celebrate you exactly as you are. To help you reclaim the parts of your body that have been hidden, shamed, or discounted over time.
This is a space to be reminded of your sensuality and embrace the art of taking up space. It is your birthright! Every body is worthy of being seen. Every curve, scar, freckle, and stretch mark tells a beautiful story. I'm here to witness it with reverence and reflect back to you the radiance that you already hold.
Katrina Ford
Katrina creates spaces where people can be seen without needing to perform. As a photographer, her boudoir work is less about images and more about experience, an invitation to slow down, soften, and reconnect to the body.
Her work is rooted in the belief that many women have learned to disconnect, to critique, or to hide parts of themselves. Through presence, movement, and intuitive guidance, she creates space to meet those parts with honesty and to experience what it feels like to be seen, starting from within.
