Join us and our circle of friendly and generous-hearted woman for 2 days of somatic practices for self-healing, held in sacred space.

You know, deep down, that you are your own best healer.

You can feel this truth: no expert can ever truly know what it’s like to live your life, as this body, in this lifetime, with these challenges, symptoms, responsibilities and ancestral and cultural inheritance.

So why do we keep looking outside of ourselves for pleasure, for comfort, for validation that we’re on the right path?!

As women, our embodied feminine power, our wisdom, and our intuitive gifts have not always been respected and revered for their true potency.

This changes NOW!

One of your greatest gifts as a sensitive woman is knowing what truly brings you wholesome and life-giving pleasure with your own breath, touch, movements and sounds.

Here, we offer you 2 days in devotion to your comfort, your pleasure, and your bliss.

We gather with our medicines: somatic practices of breath, touch, movement, sound, holy oils of rose and frankincense, deliciously nourishing meals, snacks and drinks, ceremonial cacao, the drum, epic song choices and a circle of sensitive and soulful women.

Friday 28th August

2.45pm - 7pm

Saturday 29th August

10.30am - 5.30pm

Great Horkesley, Essex (non-residential)

£195 includes all deliciously nourishing meals, snacks, drinks, ceremonial cacao and your retreat gift and all our powerful practices

Join Emily, Jan and Jane for 2 days of somatic practices for self-healing held in sacred space.

What is pleasure, anyway?

Remember the last time you really enjoyed something…

A beautiful vista.

A tasty morsel.

A sweet smile.

As intoxicating scent.

What made this moment pleasurable?

Your presence. Your deep, embodied presence. And a long slow breath to really take the moment inside, into your cells.

Thank you Jalaja Bonheim for this wisdom:

Pleasure = deep embodied presence + a long slow breath.

In sacred space, the medicine is our presence.

In somatic practices, our long slow breath is the foundation of everything. It’s our rhythm, our inner tides, it’s the push and the pull that drives the practice from the inside out.

I can guarantee you this: our gatherings aren’t like anything else you’ve seen before.

This is somatic magic for wise women, and it’s powerful!

And our gift is in holding you with such deep care, and sure warmth, that you’ll never want to leave! Some of our beloved clients have been alongside us for over a decade now.
