Feminine Archytypes as a Doorway to accessing our Feminine Power

Archetypes, revered across cultures, serve as luminous guides on our path to self-discovery. Informed by Jungian psychology, these symbolic representations illuminate facets of our human potential. By embracing their stories, we unlock the treasures within ourselves, stepping into authenticity and wholeness.

During this radiant retreat, we'll honor the divine embodiments of:

🌸 Goddess Saraswati: Muse of wisdom and creativity

🌸 Goddess Durga: Embodiment of courage and personal power

🌸 Goddess Aphrodite: Icon of fertility, sensuality, love, and playfulness

Discover how embodying these archetypes can be profoundly transformational in your life. From awakening dormant talents and reclaiming personal power to nurturing deep self-love and embracing sensuality, each goddess archetype offers a gateway to profound growth and empowerment.

Led by experienced facilitators, Swaha Devi and Nandini ( over 20 years each) , you can rest assured that you are in safe and nurturing hands.

This womens retreat weave together a number of powerful practices and processes to support your depeending and unfolding:

1. Women's Connection

Women have been gathering in circles since the beginning of time...being a part of a strong and supportive community of women is a powerful foundation on the journey of self-discovery. Sharing stories, being seen and heard, witnessed, and witnessing each others’ journeys, validates who we are, and can give us strength on our journeys in the weird, wonderful and diverse experience that is Life.

When women come together as a group with a supportive intention, magic happens. Swaha Devi and Nandini's communities include women from all walks of life. The diversity offers a rich tapestry of our humanity and womanhood, to celebrate, and learn more about ourselves as women.

2. Sensual Embodiment and Conscious Movement

Sensual Embodiment and Conscious Movement offer a sacred space for women to explore and rediscover the depths of their being. Through intentional movement and mindfulness practices, these transformative modalities guide us to reconnect with our bodies and awaken dormant places within us. By tapping into our unique feminine pathways, we unlock a profound sense of empowerment, self-awareness, and acceptance. These practices become a gateway to reclaiming our sensual essence, nurturing self-love, and embracing our authentic selves. As we journey through Sensual Embodiment and Conscious Movement, we liberate ourselves from societal constraints, allowing our radiant presence to shine forth and illuminating the path towards profound healing and transformation. Swaha and Nandini will be holding space for you to rediscover your unique Goddess pathways.

3. Shamanic Healing and Meditation

Shamanic healing guided meditations support you connect deeply inward, through guided meditation, breathing, body awareness, and connecting to our Soul consciousness and inner healer. It can facilitate deep states of peace, inner insight and understanding, Bliss and Love. These meditations also have great capacity to clear blockages that may be stopping us from more enjoyment, peace and balance in life.

4. Biodanza - conscious dance and movement

Biodanza offers an invitation to Dance with Life, reawaken your Joy of Living and land in the present moment. Through music, dance and group experiences your body can reawaken to its natural rhythms and cycles. The clever design of a Biodanza session regulates stress and restores your innate potential for living a more pleasurable, happy and creatively inspired life. Biodanza is suitable for all women, regardless of age or ability. Classes are a wonderful combination of more upbeat invitations to movement that invite vitality and freedom and slower movement more akin to tai chi or Qigong which allows you to slow down and restore.

5. Ceremony and Ritual

Nadini and Swaha Devi believe in the magic of ceremony and ritual. Ceremony and Rituals are intentional processes that invite a beauty and depth on their creation by the facilitators, and invite heartfelt presence and of participants. When we enter into a ceremonial space, it allows a deepening of our connection and knowing of otherselves, or others, and our place in the masgical connectivity of the Universe.
