WELCOME TO COR WOMAN OREGON

 
 

For more than a century, we as women have actively worked on shattering the stereotypes, the rules, beliefs and thought patternsthat kept us limited and small. Women have claimed their true power and space in the world… and we continue to carve it out, working hard to have our voices heard, our work valued, our worth recognized, from without and within.

It’s easy to get caught in this cycle, constantly doing, proving, performing, unconsciously hustling all the time.  It’s exhausting.  

COR Woman provides a precious moment to pause and catch your breath. It's a space where you can step back from performing or pretending to be anyone but yourself. It's an opportunity to prioritize and rediscover your authentic self beyond what society has attempted to tell you you are. In moments of pause, you redefine your power in every room and the world. 

We are an unstoppable force and face distinct challenges and responsibilities due to pressure to alter how we speak, impacting our ability to show up fully.

We also balance multiple roles and tasks, pursuing our ambitions, dreams, and obligations. We embody leadership as business owners, creatives, healers, educators, artists, activists, and caretakers for our parents, visionaries, partners, and mothers, to name a few. 

We are carrying more responsibilities and roles than ever before, and the constant messages to keep quiet, keep doing and avoid conflict to meet societal expectations are booming in our ears. We crave something different. 

Join us at the next COR Woman experience to connect with your deepest desires, embrace your inherent brilliance, and recognize your worth without the need to hide any part of yourself. By becoming part of the COR Woman community, you embark on a transformative journey towards inner freedom and the authentic expression of yourself.

Give yourself this gift and sign up now to join a multicultural and empowering community where women from all backgrounds unite to uplift one another, celebrate their individuality, and embrace their true selves—a space where intersecting aspects and experiences are welcome and honored.

WHERE YOU ARE:

COR Woman is dedicated to supporting every woman in her desire to experience transformative and enduring change. Whether you have been in therapy for years or are new to personal growth work, we welcome you.

We honor and meet you exactly where you are in your personal growth. This weekend is not a lecture; it is an immersive experience. You have the power to determine the depth of your exploration, allowing you to go as far as you desire.

Whether you are new to workshops or have participated in numerous ones, COR Woman offers fresh perspectives, unearths hidden layers, provides profound insights, and fosters a heightened sense of joy and self-connection. 

It encourages you to tap into your intuition, embrace your body, and experience deep healing from systemic harm that may have obscured your true essence. Remember, you are a remarkable, extraordinary human being, innately unique and wonderful, and there is no need for the constant contortion to fit in, the striving or proving of your worth, the staying quiet and small to fly just beneath the radar.

Join us at COR Woman to embark on a remarkable journey of self-discovery, connection, and personal growth. Together, we will create an inclusive and supportive space where all women can thrive, come home to, and celebrate their authentic selves.

THEMES

Every woman who attends COR Woman brings her own personal history, an intersection of identities and experiences that have impacted her life, thoughts, emotions, and concerns that she wishes to address. However, there are several common themes that many women can relate to:

  • Unhealthy Relationship Patterns: Struggling with recurring patterns of unhealthy relationships.

  • Disconnection from Body and Body Shame: Feeling disconnected from their bodies or experiencing body shame.

  • Feeling Stuck or Overwhelmed: Feeling stuck in life or specific areas, accompanied by overwhelming emotions related to personal and professional lives.

  • Difficulty Establishing Boundaries and Expressing Needs: Finding it challenging to ask for what they want and set healthy boundaries.

  • Inner Self-Criticism and Diminishing Thoughts: Battling with an inner voice that constantly criticizes, belittles, and judges.

  • Inadequacy and Inauthenticity: Struggling with feelings of not being enough or unable to authenticate their true selves.

  • Navigating Intersectional Identities: Explore and integrate identities, fostering self-acceptance, self-empowerment, and a sense of belonging.

  • Low Sex Drive and Lack of Passion: Experiencing decreased sexual desire or a lack of enthusiasm and passion for life.

  • Longing for Something More: Hearing a persistent inner voice suggesting there should be more to life than what is currently experienced.

 

COR Woman provides a space to let go of the pressure to be perfect, hidden, small, silent, or constantly struggle, fight, and suffer. It’s a space that allows your mind, body, and heart to express themselves freely. It's an opportunity to breathe, cry, scream, laugh, and dance as you feel compelled. 

You get to interact in whatever way is supportive, healing, empowering, and nourishing for YOU, as opposed to doing what anyone else thinks is best for you. This experience takes you to the core of your being, where you can be heard, seen, loved, and appreciated for the unique and fantastic woman you naturally are. What lies on the other side of this journey is liberation.

While your personal takeaways and healing process will be unique to you, there are common breakthroughs that women often experience after attending COR Woman. Here are some possibilities for you:

  • Embracing and Loving Your Body: Develop a deep love and acceptance of your body without needing to change anything. Experience a sense of beauty just the way you are.

  • Reclaiming Self-Worth and Authenticity: Connect with your authentic self and develop an internal sense of worthiness of your unique qualities and contributions.

  • Amplifying Voices and Agency: Feeling ready to amplify your voice, share your stories, and reclaim agency over your life. 

  • Understanding Patterns and Emotional Triggers: Gain insight into your deeper patterns, reactions, and emotional triggers, allowing for greater self-awareness and growth.

  • Effective Communication: Acquire the ability to communicate clearly and assertively with your friends and loved ones in healthy and powerful ways.

  • Freedom in Body and Life: Experience a sense of connection to and liberation in your body and your life.

  • Confidence and Self-Expression: Cultivate a strong confidence in yourself and your ability to speak your truth.

  • Ancestral Healing: Heal ancestral wounds, patterning, and pain and help break ancestral trauma while embracing your ancestral gifts, love, and power. 

  • Reigniting Passion and Vibrancy: Rediscover and reignite passion, feeling profoundly alive and embracing your innate sensuality.

  • Emotional Well-being: Give yourself permission to feel the full range of your emotions and acquire tools to express them in healthy and productive ways.

  • Deep and Lasting Healing: Experience profound and long-lasting healing on multiple levels.

  • Nurturing Sisterhood and Community: Develop deep connections by sharing experiences, challenges, and triumphs, find solidarity, understanding, and a sense of belonging that contributes to your healing and growth.

At COR Woman, we create an environment that nurtures and supports your growth journey, allowing you to unlock these transformative possibilities and embrace a life of expansion, celebration, and power.

Will COR Woman “Fix” YOU?

diverse women holding hands
 
 

This workshop is not about fixing or transforming you overnight with a magical solution.

Instead, it offers a valuable opportunity for profound inner work alongside a community of dedicated individuals guided by experienced facilitators who have embarked on their journeys of self-discovery. The healing experienced during the workshop can have a profound and lasting impact beyond the immediate days or weeks following the event. However, it's essential to recognize that the focus is not on fixing or changing yourself. The workshop involves: Accepting and embracing all aspects of who you are, gaining understanding, putting a healing balm on any previous pains,  and moving forward with self-compassion, clarity, and a sense of empowerment. The weekend provides a safe and supportive space for you to delve deep into your personal growth and explore the layers of your being.

 
 

What to Expect:

At COR Woman, we prioritize creating an inclusive and engaging workshop experience for all participants. Our workshops are designed to be interactive, hands-on, and collaborative. To ensure a personalized and supportive environment, we keep the groups small, typically consisting of 10-14 participants. Our dedicated staff members are there to offer individualized support and guidance throughout the weekend. Instead of relying solely on lectures, our workshops emphasize self-exploration through experiential activities.

You can expect to engage in various processes and techniques, including:

  • Small Group Facilitation & Support: Benefit from the guidance and support of facilitators who lead small group discussions and provide individualized assistance.

  • Psychodrama / Parts Work: Explore different aspects of yourself and your experiences through role-playing and embodying different perspectives.

  • Breathwork: Discover the transformative power of breath through specific techniques that promote relaxation, self-awareness, and emotional release.

  • Somatic Experiencing: Engage in practices that focus on the connection between mind and body, helping to process and release stored emotional energy.

  • Active & Silent Meditations: Experience active and silent meditations that facilitate relaxation, mindfulness, and inner reflection.

  • Journaling and Reflection: Utilize journaling for self-reflection, introspection, and capturing insights throughout the workshop.

  • Sharing Circles: Participate in supportive and inclusive sharing circles, where you can openly express yourself, listen to others, and build connections within the group.

    These processes and activities create a safe and supportive environment for personal growth, self-discovery, and healing. We strive to provide diverse experiences and techniques to meet all participants' unique needs and interests.

TABITHA NIETO (she/her/ella)

Tabitha Nieto is the Executive Director of the COR Community Foundation. She is a Certified Hypnotherapist of over ten years, a Life Coach, and an experienced Facilitator to women. She is trauma-trained, having spent hundreds of hours of study for Complex and Developmental Trauma, advanced leadership development, and group facilitation courses. 

Tabitha is an experienced workshop facilitator trained to support others through deep emotional explorations. Tabitha has worked alongside hundreds of women and has participated in, facilitated, or produced dozens of in-person and online events through COR Experience, COR Community Foundation, and her own business, Root + Rhythm Experience. At Root + Rhythm Experience, she combines all of her healing modalities to support her clients in expanding on their self-connection to live life more fully. She is also the founder of Circle a VIDA, a community focused on honoring child-free and childless women. 

In previous times, Tabitha held a successful, six-figure “Corporate America” career inside a sprawling, male-dominated Fortune 500 organization. She left this during the pandemic to explore a deeper connection to her life, heart, and body, heal her past, and share her journey with women who want the same.

Tabitha is mixed-race and proudly identifies with her Colombian, Latina roots. She also acknowledges the racism and white supremacy that have shaped our country and is committed to continuing her work and raising her voice. 

Some words from Tabitha: 

“I've learned there is strength in softness. And that opening to softness requires vulnerability and courage. I help create spaces where women can feel safe enough to lower the armor -and the weapons- that we use for protection in order to explore living a life with an open heart, feeling like we belong, and celebrating our lives.  Through workshops like COR Woman of Color and Diverse Cultures, I hope to share this work with hundreds of women. I can’t wait to meet you all!”

In all that she does, Ginny brings humility, audacious compassion, and contagious faith. 

 
 

Frequently Asked Questions

HOW MANY PARTICIPANTS ATTEND THE WORKSHOP?

We believe in creating an intimate and diverse environment during our workshops. Typically, our workshops accommodate around 10-14 participants. This group size allows for meaningful connections and personalized support. To ensure a quality experience, we have at least 3 facilitators available to guide and assist the group. Additionally, we have 6-10 staff members from various backgrounds there to support participants in their experience.

WHAT ARE THE MEALS AND ACCOMMODATIONS LIKE DURING THE WORKSHOP?

We carefully select venue sites that prioritize comfort, accessibility, and appreciation of the natural surroundings. Each site has its unique charm and provides comfortable accommodations for every participant. At the workshop in Oregon, it is more rustic, tent accommodations and communal style lodging - every participant will have a bed and tents are shared amongst 4 to 7 women. We understand the importance of catering to individual needs, so we gather information about sleeping preferences and dietary restrictions well before the workshop. This ensures we can accommodate everyone's needs and provide a nourishing and comfortable environment. Throughout the workshop, our dedicated on-site event manager is available to address any concerns or questions that may arise.

WHY DOES THIS WORKSHOP HAVE TIERED PRICING? 

At our workshop, we believe in making our transformative experience accessible to all women, regardless of their financial circumstances. That's why we offer tiered pricing options to ensure that money is not a barrier to attending. We understand that women have diverse incomes and financial situations, so by offering tiered pricing, we aim to accommodate different financial capabilities, allowing each participant to choose the tier that aligns with their ability to contribute. This approach empowers women to invest in personal growth while honoring economic realities.

Furthermore, we want to emphasize that women who can pay the full workshop cost to create opportunities and enable attendance for those needing financial assistance. Along with our donors, the generosity of those who pay the full amount helps us offer scholarships to those who require support. Our commitment to ensuring accessibility extends beyond financial considerations as we also offer payment plans for all tiers to create ease.

I'M INTERESTED IN FINANCIAL AID OPTIONS. WHAT KIND OF ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE IF I CANNOT AFFORD THE WORKSHOP?

We understand that the cost of the workshop may be a barrier for some individuals. To make the workshop more accessible, we offer several financial aid options. Firstly, we provide no-fee payment plans that allow you to spread the cost over four monthly payments if you register at least 4.5 months in advance.

Additionally, we have a financial aid program for every workshop, offering scholarships ranging from $300 to $1300 based on need and availability. To learn more about the financial aid opportunities we offer, please visit our website's scholarship application and information page. Our goal is to support individuals in overcoming financial barriers and ensure that everyone has an opportunity to participate.

WHAT IS THE DIVERSITY LIKE AT THESE WORKSHOPS?

We celebrate and embrace the diversity of all women at our workshops. We welcome and honor women from every background, including women of color, women in minority groups, and women from diverse cultural backgrounds. We recognize the importance of representation and actively work to create an inclusive space where every woman feels seen, heard, and safe. Our commitment to diversity ensures that all women, regardless of their background, can fully engage and benefit from the workshop experience while bringing their full identities into the space. 

WOULD THIS WORKSHOPS BE A GOOD FIT FOR TRANS WOMEN OR OTHER FEMMES NOT ASSIGNED FEMALE AT BIRTH BUT IDENTIFY AS WOMEN?

Although we hold the intention and commitment to inclusivity, safety, and belonging, we want to be transparent in that our facilitators have not yet been trained, nor have our processes been modified, in order to have the space be safe specifically for trans women or femmes not assigned female at birth who identify as women. We aim to make this a reality one day.

WHAT QUALIFICATIONS DO THE FACILITATORS HAVE, AND WHAT TRAINING HAVE THEY UNDERGONE?

Our facilitators are highly qualified professionals who bring experience to our workshops. They have extensive training and hold certifications in coaching and related fields. Before joining our organization, many facilitators have already accumulated years of practical experience in their respective fields. To become a facilitator, our team members undergo a comprehensive training program within COR Experience, which includes a two-year plus commitment to leadership and facilitation training. Through the COR Community Foundation, they receive ongoing training in cultural sensitivity to better attune to the experiences and challenges women of color and women from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds face. This includes being knowledgeable about systemic oppression, racism, and cultural nuances.

IS THERE A RELIGIOUS ASPECT TO THIS RETREAT? WHAT IF I HAVE A SPECIFIC BELIEF SYSTEM OR NO BELIEF SYSTEM AT ALL?

We warmly welcome individuals of all religious, spiritual, or non-religious backgrounds to our retreats. Our workshops have attracted participants from diverse walks of life, including individuals with Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, Taoist, mystical, agnostic, and atheist beliefs. Our holistic approach to inner work encompasses all dimensions of our humanity. While we incorporate concepts such as meditation, prayer/invocation, and exploring a higher power or grace, we do so in an inclusive way that respects and honors individual beliefs. We do not promote or favor any specific religion or dogma. We intend to create a space where you can define and explore spirituality or the absence thereof in a way that resonates with you. We honor and respect your journey and provide an environment for expressing diverse perspectives and beliefs.

I'M NOT INTO GROUP STUFF. IS THIS STILL FOR ME?

COR Woman is a unique group experience that differs from traditional lectures or sharing sessions. While there are group processes, it's important to note that you are never required to share anything, and you can choose to be exactly where you are throughout the entire weekend. The workshop offers a variety of inner journeys and processes that focus on your personal growth. You'll find that witnessing others' experiences can be as transformative as your process, and you'll develop a deep bond with the other participants. If you are open to trying a new approach, you'll discover the added ease and encouragement of moving through processes together and the inner power and confidence that comes from being part of a community.

ARE YOUR WORKSHOPS ONLY FOR STRAIGHT PEOPLE?

No, our workshops are open to individuals of all sexual orientations. We welcome women from diverse backgrounds and identities, including those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and beyond. Our community is inclusive and strives to create a safe and welcoming space for people of all sexual orientations. We value and celebrate the diversity of our participants and honor their unique experiences and identities.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DOING THIS?

COR Community Foundation has been producing COR Woman since 2021, after we began licensing COR Woman from our mentors, teachers, and friends, Britta and Lee Eskey. Britta and Lee are the founders of COR Experience and have offered these workshops since 1993 when they first began in England. Since then, thousands of individuals from Europe, the United States, and Canada have participated in our workshops.
