A 5-Day Women's Embodiment & Self-Empowerment Retreat
Weert, Netherlands, November 11th—15th, 2025
Join us for a transformative journey of deep exploration, expression, and community as we harness the power of sacred plant medicine to break through shame and ignite our authentic desires.
Step into a sacred space designed for women to reconnect with their inner source of vitality and passion.

Through movement, circle work, and ceremony, we will:
Transmute shame and limiting beliefs with fire-centered exercises
Explore expression in the depths of darkness and unlabeled sensation
Claim our bodies and voices through play, dance, and movement
Cultivate community and shared support on this profound journey

For her, it’s not a job—it’s a calling and a way of life.“We can provide many tools, but in the end it is up to you. You are the medicine. A change in perspective is a change of life.”
