“There are experiences that give you memories. And then there are experiences that give you back pieces of yourself.
I had the privilege of spending 5 days at Hollyhock on the breathtaking Cortes Island. I took part in a retreat unlike any I’ve ever experienced, guided by the incredible Andrea Menard.
I reclaimed parts of myself I had hidden away. Parts I’d been embarrassed by. Ashamed of. Forgotten. Found clarity, purpose, and this new powerful vision.
We laughed until our cheeks hurt. There were LOTS of tears. We stood in sacred ceremony. I connected with remarkable humans. And we experienced the kind of magic that can only happen when you slow down longs enough to truly listen...to ourselves, to each other, and to the land.
This was the kind of experience that doesn’t just change you, it helps you remind you of who you’ve been all along.”

Andrea’s 2026 Retreat
Reclaiming the Feminine Elements
In this western world that has undermined the Sacred Feminine, unwind the wounds inflicted upon your Feminine nature, by reclaiming the gifts and natural tendencies of your Sacred Elements.
The feminine aspect of these four Sacred Elements offers you wisdom, safety, and serenity if you reclaim them.
As in all feminine reclamation work, prepare for some fun, creative expression and deeply intimate self-exploration.
““Hollyhock was the perfect container for Andrea Menard’s
Reclaiming the Feminine Elements program. Immersed in nature we explored our feminine connection to all that was around us.
Andrea is a delight to be around and skilled in facilitating equitable, decolonized spaces that foster connection, authentic sharing and transformation.
Her program, in this beautiful setting with delicious food, allowed me to receive the rest, healing and shifts I needed for greater freedom in my own expression.”

Meet your Host
Andrea Menard
Andrea Menard is a Metis singer, healer and trainer. As an advocate for land-based teachings where individuals are encouraged to return to the natural rhythms of Life, reclaim lost parts of themselves, and restore balance, Andrea was born to lead others through the transition from an over-masculinized culture into the Rise of the Sacred Feminine.
Andrea aspires to find balance and meaning in the simple, natural things in life. Always a spiritual student, her work as a spiritual teacher was born the day she accepted her traditional Cree name, Notigwew Yutin, which means Grandmother Wind in English. Having been given her Anishinaabemowin name, Skooteah Equahh, which means Fire Woman, Andrea is even more inspired to help others own and embody their inner Feminine Elements.
Through honouring, receptivity, inclusion, emotional release, fierce self-care, sound healing, ritual, and prayer, Andrea teaches you how to commune more deeply with the Sacred Elements within, and reconnect with your authentic self.
