PHOENIX
~ A mythical bird known for rising from it’s ashes
~ Said to cyclically burn to death & be reborn with renewed energy for the next cycle
~ The phoenix often serves as a symbol of renewal , rebirth, fire & passion
~ A magical creature that is called upon to ignite our true inspiration
IMMERSION
~ A state of being deeply engaged, absorbed or involved in
~ An act or instance of immersing oneself, or something
Due to the flow of the retreat & it offering so many different activities, workshops, talks & practices to ‘immerse’ yourself in, we thought ‘immersion’ captures the essence of the gathering more than ‘retreat’
Welcoming all women

To bathe in the magic women create when we take time to simply be with one another

The festive season often brings with it a busyness & whirlwind of being here there & everywhere ~ Socialising, over indulging, a bombardment of the senses & dropping our usual rhythm of life ~ This can often leave us feeling overwhelmed mid winter
So why not fill your cup with us & settle in to a new year with a full heart
~ replenish & recalibrate ~
We invite you to gather with us & a glorious circle of women
Dropping into the present moment again & again
When we weave presence & consciousness into the every day
Life pulsates in an enchanted dimension
Flowing through an array of anchoring & nourishing practices
With tenderness
Sharing in the alchemy of the heart & spirit
Awakening our bodies & all they can sense & hold
Through exploration
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 ashes of winters deep depths, deaths & slumbers
May this cycle of the seasons commence with you feeling truly ready for it all
Each season in nature bringing it’s messages & ways of existing
May we attune to this wise & ancient ecology around us & within us
Rebirth energy commencing to slowly stir
Ready to spiral into being once again ~ Always becoming ~ Always evolving
Gift yourself time for sacred pause
Time for introspection & reflection
Away from our every day rhythms & responsibilities
Feeling the spaciousness
Multifaceted healing experiences like this can offer us
Simply being
Guided
With love & care
Cocooned
When we gather in community
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
In 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
The strength we create within our 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 & existance
Reconfiguring & redirecting the energy in our lives
With intention
To the areas that deserve our nourishment
MAY WE RECEIVE FULLY
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
Please note ~ Whilst we talk about the 'womb space' - this is an energetic place within all women, much like the sacral chakra.
You do not need to have a physical womb to connect with this part of yourself & awaken & unlock the energies & powers which are held within it.

~ TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR LAST ‘REBIRTH OF THE YEAR’ RETREAT ~
‘ 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.’
