Ibiza: Sacred Wise Woman retreat – Luxury Ibiza in Retreat
Dates: 24th – 30th October
Goddess…I see you!! You’ve been busy maybe building a career, growing a family, or doing what you feel you are supposed to, you have reached your wisdom years and all of a sudden you find yourself in the wilderness and you are not sure what is next.
You strongly feel there is part of you yet to be expressed. Inside you feel as energised, inspired and motivated as in your younger years, you feel equally as healthy and vibrant, yet you are crossing the threshold into the unknown and you’re not sure how to navigate this new territory.
You’re not ready to hang up your dancing shoes or slide into invisibility yet you sense deep inside that there is a change. You’re aware of potent power bubbling up. In many cultures a woman is not considered fully grown until she reaches her wisdom years. It is said that in our younger years we have the potential to give birth to a new life each month but at menopause and beyond we give birth to our true selves.
- Your soul is calling you to go deeper.
- You know you have a greater purpose.
- Your intuition is stronger.
- You’re awakening to the wise woman.
- You’re drawn towards the Priestess (even if you’re not sure who she is).
- You’re drawn towards ritual and ceremony and embodied movement.
We invite you to gift yourself a six day immersion into YOU on the beautiful spiritual island of Ibiza. The retreat centre at Can Shui is the most beautiful space, with divine sea views and the most incredible plant based food from our private chef Remko.
When we can pause, feel held and unconditionally seen and accepted for who we are, with our imperfections and messiness, it allows us to give ourselves permission to explore the parts of our soul that hasn’t yet been expressed (or fully embrace those parts that we showed once or twice, and felt persecuted for it, so we hid them away again!).
France: Yoga, Mindfulness and Embodied Meditation Retreat, French Pyrenees
Dates: 11th – 15th September

The gourmet vegan food has been described as sensational, outrageous, alchemical, the best ever, and more. It is often raw, always free from dairy, meats, gluten, and sugar.
There will be periods of free time each day, which gives you opportunity to just relax in the walled garden, pamper yourself or explore wild swimming in nearby lakes and rivers. You will be held within a clear daily structure. You are welcome to add additional nights to the end of your stay.
