This retreat is for women and those who identify as women who:

• Seek Deep Transformation: It’s for women who are ready to confront their inner blocks, release what no longer serves them, and dive deep into a journey of self-discovery and growth. They are open to facing their shadows and embracing the light within.

• Value Experiential Learning: This retreat is for those who learn best through experiences—through movement, dance, ritual, and embodied practices. They are eager to move beyond theory and actively engage with the process of healing and transformation.

• Are Emotionally Open: Participants should be willing to explore their feelings, face discomfort with vulnerability, and use emotional exploration as a pathway to deeper self-understanding and connection. They are ready to confront and embrace their full emotional range.

• Enjoy Movement and Embodied Practices: It’s ideal for those who love to express themselves through dance, movement, and somatic experiences. They recognize the power of the body as a vessel for transformation and seek to reconnect with their physical selves.

• Appreciate Flow and Flexibility: The retreat is for those who appreciate a balance of structure and organic flow. They are comfortable with a more fluid schedule that allows space for spontaneity, presence, and deep inner work.

• Are Ready for Spiritual Exploration: This retreat is for those open to connecting with spiritual practices and rituals, revering nature, and exploring the mysteries of the feminine divine. They are eager to engage in practices that align body, mind, and spirit.

• Invest in Their Well-being: This is for those willing to invest time, energy, and resources into their own growth and transformation. They recognize the value of dedicating themselves fully to an immersive experience and are open to purchasing items or tools that support their journey.

• Are Physically Ready for Adventure: Participants should be open to the physical aspects of the retreat, including hiking or trekking on rocky terrain or steep inclines. They embrace nature and are excited about the adventure of connecting with the land.

• Seek a Sacred Space, Not a Party: This retreat is ideal for those who want a space of deep connection and introspection, not a party atmosphere. It’s for those who prefer intentional gatherings over socializing with alcohol.

This retreat is a sanctuary for women ready to step into their power, reconnect with their bodies, and embrace the fullness of their authentic selves. It’s for those who seek a life-changing experience that offers deep healing, sacred sisterhood, and a reconnection with nature’s rhythms.

This retreat is not for those who:

• Resist Transformation: If someone is unwilling or unready to confront their emotional blocks, deepen their self-awareness, or engage in the transformative journey of self-discovery, this retreat may feel too challenging.

• Prefer Passive Learning: The retreat is experiential and requires active participation through dance, movement, ritual, and introspection. Those looking for a purely intellectual or passive learning environment might not find this experience suitable.

• Avoid Emotional Exploration: Participants must be open to exploring their feelings, including discomfort and vulnerability, as a pathway to growth. If someone tends to numb their emotions or prefers to avoid inner work, the retreat may feel uncomfortable.

• Dislike Movement or Embodied Practices: Since movement, dance, and somatic experiences are core components of this retreat, those who don’t enjoy or value these practices might not feel aligned with the experience.

• Seek a Structured or Rigid Approach: This retreat is about flow, presence, and tuning into the deeper rhythms of the self and nature. People who require strict schedules or a highly structured agenda may struggle with the retreat’s fluid and organic nature.

• Expect Immediate Results: Transformation takes time, and while the retreat offers powerful insights and experiences, it’s not a quick fix. Those seeking instant results without investing in the process may be disappointed.

• Are Not Open to Spirituality: The retreat integrates spiritual practices, rituals, and perspectives, including reverence for the earth and feminine power. Those who are not open to spiritual exploration may feel out of place.

• Have Scarcity Concerns: If someone is hesitant or uncomfortable with the investment required for the tools, materials, or experiences that support a deep, transformative journey, this retreat might not be the right fit. The experience may require a willingness to invest in oneself fully.

• Are Not Comfortable with Physical Activity: The retreat involves hiking and trekking, potentially on steep inclines and rocky terrain. Those who aren’t open to or comfortable with this level of physical activity may find the experience challenging.

• Want to Party or Drink: This is a sacred space dedicated to transformation and introspection. It’s not a place for those seeking a party atmosphere or indulging in alcohol.
