space for deep rest, healing & awakening
“after a metaphorical 3 days and 3 nights, rise again like the phoenix, from the ashes, holding the gift…the jewel, the gold, the next unfolding of life, from an embodied place of the journey taken..” Janine Ma-Ree
Join us for an exquisite, nourishing, empowering retreat – just for women!
Over 3 days and 3 nights at the beautiful Gymea Eco Retreat & Spa in Nthn NSW. We will drop into a place of nurturing, transformation and play. This is a unique retreat open to any woman, whether you have been on the path for many years or have never been to a workshop, let alone a retreat.
This is not just ‘another women’s retreat’ – we are going dive into a range of profoundly transformational practices to activate and awaken your connection to Self and experience the frequency of the embodied Feminine in form.
There are many beautiful processes on offer during this retreat and also plenty of free time to play, swim, walk, have a spa treatment or shamanic healing treatment. There is time to reflect, journal, connect – whatever you need for your self-care. This is an extraordinary opportunity to really nurture yourself, recharge and take some time out.
Here is a bit of a taster of just some of what is in store…
-
A 2hr spa experience at the Gymea Healing Spa – delicious, rejuvenating and healing time in the large spa, sauna, steam room and plunge pool
-
Yin Yoga and Embody Yoga practices with Justine Janssen – one of Australia’s senior yoga teachers (no experience needed)
-
Morning Qigong practices with master Qigong teacher – Rosa Mauvra
-
A sacred tobacco ceremony with Sally Horrobin from Shamanic Guidance (a powerful ceremony working with hapè – a legal tobacco snuff blend traditionally used by Amazonian tribes – this is optional as with all sessions, but highly recommended!)
-
A deep shamanic drum journey
-
A healing attunement by Reiki & Sekhem Master to assist you to open up to your own healing abilities
-
Sacred jade egg feminine practices (there will be some jade eggs available to purchase if you do not own one already)
-
A transformational Soundscape Ceremony and other power ceremonies, activities and practices that incorporate a variety of supportive tools such as sound, movement, breath, oils and essences
-
Catering by the gorgeous and talented Angie Cowen from Love, Life & Gluten Free. Click here to check out her recipe books. We are so excited to have Angie on board with us for this journey – high quality, mindful & lovingly prepared food is such an important component of retreat-world!
-
Access to the healing magnesium pool at Gymea anytime you need (the weather in Nth NSW in March is generally pretty lovely – not too hot but still warm enough for the pool)
-
And of course, fun! And laughs. And silliness.
All activities are optional but highly recommended for the full experience. Facilitators are experienced in their craft – you will be held in a safe, loving container.
