With tenderness
Sharing in the alchemy of the heart & spirit
Awakening our bodies & all they can sense & hold

Know that all of you is welcome just as you are
There is no right or wrong way of being

Blessed vessels, made of the earth herself
The oceans flowing through our veins
The breath of life breathing us as we breathe it
The sunshine’s rays encapsulated within our very cells
Radiating life into us & reminding us of the light that burns bright within

You are all of this ~ You are life herself

Dream & drift ~ Release & Relax
Ground & root ~ Move & feel

Land in to a new year & journey of the seasons afresh
Rising & emerging softly & slowly
From the depths of winters darkness, deaths & slumbers

May we attune to this wise & ancient ecology around us & within us

Rebirth energy commencing to slowly stir

When we gather with other women in such a way
Life pulsates in an enchanted dimension
Especially as women, sisters, mothers, daughter, friends, aunties & beyond
We don’t stay strangers for long
Each of us reflecting the beauty & resilience of the sacred feminine dimensions we all carry
The myriad of experiences being a woman can hold
Together co creating a space where we can be held & witnessed
We gift each other strength
Our own stories echoed in the lives of those around us
Awakening our hearts ability to hold & feel
Reminding us that we can always relate to one another
When we slow down & open to all life can offer us

The strength we can muster when held in a web of hearts
Reminds us we can cut away & let go of anything weighing us down
So we may travel lighter through this beautiful chaotic life & existence
Reconfiguring & redirecting the energy in our lives
With intention
To the areas that deserve our nourishment

With the abundance that you hold ~ Full of gifts ~ Full of medicine
We root into the truths we so often forget
Reminding one another that nothing can cut that connection
Between us & source
Us & spirit ~ Us & Goddess ~ God ~ Life itself ~ Whatever we wish to call it

May your inner compass & guides be brought into the orbit of your awareness
May your bodies signals be felt & your sensitivities & sensuality pulse & expand
May you radiate your being & pure essence in all directions

Together we will travel inwards ~ A coming home to the dark fertile soils within
The void that all life is birthed from
Awareness dropping into the deep depths of the womb
The chalice for life itself ~ Herself
Journeying together
Awakening SHAKTI

Remembering the dance & spiral of life
We will celebrate & feast
Revel & relish
As we welcome reverence for life to flow

This 4 day journey has been birthed from a space of LOVE
Love is the source & life it’s gifts
May we flow from this place

Love is the whole thing
We are only the pieces ~ Rumi

~ TESTIMONIALS FROM PAST WOMEN’S RETREATS ~

‘ My life has changed. So many things that I have learnt over the years came together in one weekend and where previously there was confusion and uncertainty, I dropped into deep belief. I am sure soon this feeling will ebb as I slowly get back into routine but I know that I will find it again. You have given me the most precious gift that I will cherish forever, as I now know that I can access this  space, this state and this presence of being. Thank you.
Sandra - you are a special soul. You held space so beautifully, you offered so much, your teachings so soft, feminine and transformational. my connection with you I cherish. Thank you. Sofia - what a beautiful soul you are, your words always so insightful, meaningful and profound and you were there to offer us so much and be with your beautiful young family. Thank you. I am so grateful to have you both on my path. I know we will meet again. For now I am processing, resting and taking it slow.I have had the most wonderful weekend in so many ways and on so many levels. Thank you, thank you, thank you’ 
~ Emma Yoga teacher London

‘Home now, glowing & pulsating with vibrant, warm, joyful energy and smiling as I metabloize the mind blowing experience I just had on retreat with these incredible ladies.’ ‘I learnt so much my head is exploding, we shared beautiful music play lists, books and holistic lifestyle hacks & tips. I can still feel the group hug we recieved when we left.’ ‘Beautiful asana, breathing, sound healing, sharing curcles, aromatherapy, cacao ceremonies, elemental dancing, affirmations, fire ceremonies, walking in nature. We chanted, we laughed and ofcourse we cried, shedding layers, freeing ourselves from the weight of life stuff. I am so grateful for this life changing experience. Thank you.’
