A Retreat for HER

This Women Retreat is for any women that would like to tap into HER potential - it’s all already there… sometimes we just have to uncover it a bit by relaxing deeply, diving into the body and open and soften.

I created this retreat because of my own journey as a women - being imprinted with many narratives of what it is to be a women… taking off layer by layer to find the true me in this wonderful female body of mine… I’m now 50 years old and it’s an ongoing process!

I’m teaching yoga since 20 years and this is my main embodiment practice, so it will also be a big part of this retreat. I’m teaching Vijnana Yoga, which includes very profound energy work and the way of moving is meant to be effortless. This is more of a feminine style of yoga and in general attracts women that look for a slow but deep yoga practice… which does not mean that we leave the more difficult postures out, but the strength comes from a place within, rather than muscular power.

I’m training in somatic education for women and therefore the topics of self regulation of the nervous system, safety and trust are very present in my teachings.

I’m also playing music and I sing and I dance and I hold women’s circles and I love the flied that gets created when women get together and vibrate together- it’s a field of trust and softness and depth and creativity and fun!

On a daily basis you will have a meditation and energy work, yoga, deep relaxation, sharings, opening of the channel of the voice, dancing the body and many other non linear practices that allow the body to be free. The emphasis of this retreat is relaxation and breathing, so she can feel, but also connecting to her womb power, that potent energy that is sitting in her womb, hips and the whole pelvic region.

Please not that this retreat does not come out of man-hating attitude. I fully respect and love men. But society asks for masculine energy of power and doing and pushing through. Women have disassociated from her femininity separated from her essence that is sitting in her womb, but moved the energy high up in the system (neck, shoulders, head… problems!). Men are deeply affected by women’s separation from her essence. I believe if humanity was in accord with nature through the feminine, there would be no ecological crisis, no greenhouse disaster and no raping of the earth’s resources for. quick financial fix, and no wars.
