Womb of Light
12th - 15th of Sept 2024, Algarve, Portugal
With Mela Mariposa & Viento del Alba
Dear woman, sister, mother, daughter,
You are warmly invited to join a sacred circle of women, where we will connect, pray, forgive, accept, heal, release, and hold space for ourselves, our hearts, and our wombs. In this circle, we honour the divine feminine within each of us.
Through sacred practices and rituals uniquely crafted for women, you will have the opportunity to share your magic, your pain, and every part of yourself. You will be held and supported in a circle of sisters, where your voice is heard, your journey is honoured, and your spirit is uplifted.
Come, and be part of this transformative gathering, where the power of sisterhood and the healing energy of shared rituals will guide us all towards deeper connection and profound empowerment.
Womb Healing Retreat
These four days are a sacred sanctuary designed to provide you with the space to be held, to be nourished, and to deeply connect within a circle of sisters. You will be guided on a transformative journey through sacred practices, inviting you to explore the depths of your soul and the wisdom of your body.
In our circle, we will engage in profound sharing sessions, creating a safe haven for vulnerability and authenticity. Together, we will practice nourishing rituals for our womb energy, honouring the divine feminine within each of us. This is a time for healing, for shedding old layers, and for empowering the radiant woman you are destined to be.
When women gather with open hearts, a profound magic unfolds. This will be a sacred space where you can freely express your current experiences and emotions, knowing you are supported and seen. Through the power of sisterhood and genuine connection, you will reclaim your strength and receive the deep empowerment that arises from unity and shared wisdom.
4 days dedicated to liberation, acceptance, love, peace, healing & reconnection in sisterhood.
Breathwork:
The more consciously you breathe, the more connected and aware you become.
Breathwork employs a technique known as "conscious connected breath," a profound method that strongly facilitates the clearing of old energies, conditioning, negative thoughts/patterns, and emotions. This technique acts as a key to unlock new possibilities and heightened consciousness.
When performed correctly, it serves as a "gateway" to your inner world, allowing you to authentically discover the layers of your human experience—emotionally, physically, and energetically.
The outcomes, however, are always surprising, given our diverse stories and backgrounds. The primary result is pure presence and awareness, ultimately guiding us towards a fuller acceptance of the present moment.
Temazcal (Sweatlodge):
Temazcal is a ceremony of purification, cleansing, rebirth and communion, one of the first practices that humans received from the spiritual world to reconnect us intimately with Creation. It represents the womb of mother earth.
Therefore, it is an opportunity to review our place as caretakers of life, nurture and cultivate the path in beauty and harmony with nature and recognize that we are all family.
Recreated in the similarity with the woman's womb, which is the same womb as Mother Earth, Temazcal is a ceremony where the same conditions that exist in the creation of Life are provided: Darkness, Heat, Humidity and recognition of the 4 elements (Fire, Air , Water and Earth)
Ritual, integration, sharing, singing and nourishing our body
Together we will create a powerful rituals for your individual healing space, so you can full honour where you are right now.
Apart from breathwork and the temazcal we will work with different healing modalities such as yoni steaming with healing herbs, egg cleanse, clay work, cacao, singing and dancing.
And we will dedicate a good amount of time for integration, sharing and fun. Creating a space for us to be seen, to connect, to be able to let go of all our masks.
