    About the Retreat:

    TOSW's mission is to bring unique ritual healing experiences to the community, empower healers and sensitives to make a living with their gifts, and to reinstate a cultural value on sacredness through ceremony within a tribal dynamic. We value integrity, loyalty, openness & vulnerability, service-mindset, and intentionality. Our overall aim is to restore and reinstate the universal human experience of “tribe” as the cornerstone to a true and just society!

    Description of Services:

    The Temple was conceived after the spontaneous creation of the “Sacred Womb,” which is a specific ceremony style initially created in December 2017 to support the multidimensional healing work of shamanic journeying.

    Practitioners:

    Astra Cristos, co-founder of the Temple of the Sacred Womb in Buda, TX, holds 15 years of experience in marketing, community building, and event production. Her transformative journey with Ayahuasca, starting eight years ago, led her to profound self-discovery and life purpose. Despite initial reluctance, Astra naturally embraces a public leadership role. Wearing multiple hats as an organizer, artist, music curator, and medicine woman, Astra fosters community connections with sincerity. Initiated in various practices, including Reiki I & II, Kambô, and Andean Cosmology, she brings a unique perspective to her life’s work. Currently she is committed to a four-year Vision Quest in Ecuador, unfolding sacred chapters on the Red Road.

    Clementine Kruczynski is an autistic artist, longtime entrepreneur, and community builder having started her first business at age 20 as a Feng Shui consultant (Founder of Clempossible, Inc) and her first community work in 2013 as an organizer of the arts (formerly the Vice President of Raw Paw, LLC). Her first major psychedelic experience occurred at age 15, inciting her curiosity further for the beyond and inviting her deeper into her purpose of “not fitting into the world in order to create a new one.” Along her journey she has been offered personal mentorships under a half dozen high-profile business owners and elders and she has appeared on the cover of the Austin Chronicle, won an Austin Music Award, and been celebrated in many various ways for her community efforts.

  • Our Process

    Overview of Experience:

    The original creation – which is universal to all TOSW events and ceremonies – includes, among other elements, discernment from various types of psychic phenomena & interference; a “needs-based approach” which centers needs as key components to nervous system healing; and an emphasis on the participant to center themselves as their own internal compass. After working with and refining the Womb ceremony for half a year, at which point the first retreat was organized in July 2018, we saw when researching our path further that making a religious organization was the next obvious step to legitimize our work for those we guide.

    In total we have served 1000+ people in powerful ceremonies of transformation and healing. The Sacred Womb is the commonality amongst all of our events and ceremonial work; a container that offers a grounded, safe space in which to reimprint your nervous system with ease & grace.
