You are held in sacred space.

Our community of women is growing and deepening…

You are interested in more than just a one-off retreat, you’d like to be part of a vibrant community of creative and soulful women.

You are sensitive and spiritually-curious, you know there is more to life than what we see on the surface.

You are curious about the power of somatic practices for self-healing.

You know it’s not enough just to talk about our challenges and desires.

We need to breathe, move, dance, sing, chant, hum, touch and most importantly...

…feel.

Our loving presence is the true medicine we are seeking.

Hear what our women have to say about being on retreat with us:

  • I have felt truly treasured. Your deep concern, your womanly magic gifted with huge open hearts has penetrated my frozen core. Thank you isn't enough.

    Lorraine

  • Each time it feels like we reach a higher level of vibration and experience. So much love. Such strong feminine energy. We are strong women. So much gratitude for the sacred space you create Emily.

    Karen

  • A beautiful retreat full of love, sharing, community and self love. Wonderful!

    Sally

  • What an incredible weekend. Thank you SO much Emily and Jan. I feel loved and nurtured and ready for the future.

    Kath

  • I am love and I am loved! Thank you, thank you, thank you for revealing this truth to me this weekend.

    Lis

  • I never feel more grounded, content or connected to myself than I do after one of Emily and Jan's retreats. I see the world in a whole new light after being deeply nurtured and prioritised.

May you feel welcomed and appreciated amongst our community of spiritually-curious women. It is our joy and privilege to witness your unfurling.

May you remember who you are: generous, loving, sensitive, warm, open to life.

May you remember that your presence on this earth is a gift.

We are grateful for your presence among us.

We are honoured to serve you, to serve your remembering, to serve your reconnection with your body, your life, and this earth.

And so it is.
