The 7-Day Journey — A Tapestry of Embodied Awakening
Day 0. Arrival. Check-in. Sacred Circle & Welcome Ritual (Guided meditation, intention-setting)
Day 1 – Back home, into to the Womb - Descending into the Depth of the Body & Purification
A day of the arrival into the Body and deep purification. We begin with a femmenine breathing practice that unites the Womb with Yoni (vagina), continue with somatic meditation and movement practice; And culminate with a traditional ceremony of Temazcal (sweat lodge), inviting the body to release what no longer serves and be reborn in the sacred steam of the Mother Earth.
Theme: Womb Awakening, Release & Rebirth
Ceremony: Temazcal
“A woman shaman, like a spider spinning, must learn to lead from the womb. To move our attention from the head to the belly, from the mind to the body.”
— Vicki Noble
🌸Day 2 – Grounding into the Body
We begin by softening into presence, arriving fully in the sacred home of the body.
Through breath, movement, and awareness, you’ll root into the ground of your being — the essential first step in any true transformation.
Theme: Inhabiting the body, nervous system regulation, understanding of the womens hormones, the vagus nerve’s role in relaxation and reproductive health
🌙Day 3 – Opening the Heart: Softness as Strength
Together, we melt the armoring around the heart and awaken its radiant capacity to feel — deeply, truthfully, without collapse.
The evening Cacao Ceremony gently carries us into heart-led connection and a tender communion with Heart and Sisterhood.
Theme: Heart-centered meditation, vulnerability, emotional intimacy. Self - Love
Ceremony: Cacao Ritual and Sufi Ritual of Self Love
🌸Day 4 – Heart–Womb Connection: Pleasure & Permission
With the heart open, we journey deeper into the womb, connecting them together into the Divine Vessel of Femminine Wisdom.
You’ll be invited to reclaim pleasure, open to the flow of sensuality & intuition (as birthrights) — free from guilt, shame, or inhibition.
Theme: Embodied sensuality, emotional freedom, womb & heart wisdom.
🌙Day 5 – Sacred Discipline: Emotional Alchemy & the Inner Masculine
This is also the day we call in the central core: the still, strong, inner masculine who holds space for our feminine to unfold. Then we turn inward to meet what has long been suppressed — grief, rage, longing — and learn how to digest and integrate it. Nothing can overwhelm us while we are resting as the Depth of our Being, as the still witnessing center which embraces any emotional intensity. Experiencing yoursef as the masculine principle, as the femminine principle and as the balance of both.
Theme: Emotional digestion, self-leadership, integration. The Masculine as space, centerdness; The Femminine as Energy, Power.
Ceremony: Fire Ceremony
🌙Day 6 – Awakening the Goddess Within: Making Love to yourself
Through Relaxation, Self-Desire and Pleasure we now awaken creative and sexual energy.
Unleashing the feminine power in its fullness — raw, wise, sovereign, and alive.
We enter sacred ritual with the Yoni Puja, celebrating the inner Queen, the living Goddess, in every woman.
Theme: Feminine archetypes, empowerment, ciclicity, creative & sexual energy, dancing as practice.
Ceremony: Yoni Puja & Feminine Activation
“The psyches and souls of women also have their own cycles and seasons of doing and solitude… questing and resting, creating and incubating, being of the world and returning to the soul‑place.”
— Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves
🌸 Day 7 – Sacred Union: Polarity, Presence & Transfiguration
We close the circle by exploring polarity — not only with men, but with life itself.
In the evening Transfiguration Ceremony, you’ll witness and be witnessed in your Essence beyond form — a powerful, heart-blazing remembrance of who you truly are.
Theme: Integration, relational polarity, divine recognition.
Ceremony: Tantric Transfiguration

You long to come home to yourself…
But the world keeps pulling you away.
⠀
Away from your body.
Away from your inner knowing.
Away from the deep, powerful current of feminine wisdom that lives within you.
⠀
You hold space for others. You care. You give. You strive.
And yet — something aches.
⠀
You sense there’s more.
More presence. More pleasure. More freedom.
This retreat is a sacred pause.
A space to return. To reconnect. To remember.
To meet yourself — fully — in your truth, your body, your heart.

FAQ's
Is it Safe to Travel to Mexico/to Your Centre?
Mexico’s reputation regarding safety, while not entirely untrue, is often exaggerated by the news media, especially in neighbouring countries where opposition to Mexico/Mexican people supports political agendas and dramatic media coverage drives clicks, views etc. There are certain areas of Mexico where there is a high rate of crime. These areas are thus less safe for foreign travellers. However, millions of travellers and holiday makers pass through Mexico each year without incident. This particular area had seen a little instability in 2024, surrounding the presidential elections in Mexico, however the situation has stabilized considerably and the area is generally safe. A huge movement by local authorities has recently removed hundreds of known cartel members from the area and made big steps in increasing general safety in San Cristobal de Las Casas and Chiapas in general. Additionally, our centre is nestled in a mountain valley outside the historic city of San Cristobal de Las Casas, an area protected by native peoples and indigenous laws. Regarding travel here, we have a long standing relationship with a particular taxi driver and his brother. They provide safe and reliable airport and local shuttle services for guests coming/leaving the centre.
What is the easiest most direct way to get to the retreat?
There are generally 2 main airports that you can fly into. Of these, by far the most popular is MEX Aeropuerto Internacional de la Ciudad de México (Mexico City airport). The other is CUN Cancún International Airport. (There are other international airports in Mexico, into which you may find cheaper flights from your specific location from time to time, but these are the most convenient and common) From either of these airports you can catch a connecting flight to TGZ Aeropuerto Internacional Ángel Albino Corzo. This flight takes around 1.5hrs from Mexico City. From this airport we can arrange a taxi to pick you up directly from the airport and bring you either directly to us, or to San Cristobal de Las Casas (around 1000MXN). Or you can take an airport shuttle (you will need at least some basic Spanish) into San Cristobal de las Casas (around 300MXN). Either option takes around 1.5hrs From San Cristobal de Las Casas, we arrange a shuttle to our centre on the day that your retreat is schedule to begin, at 13:30. The cost of this suttles service is 150MXN per car, shared between however many people are in the car. the ride is about 20 minutes to arrive at the centre.
I’m Interested in this retreat primarily for psychological healing, will the contents and practices be appropriate for me?
Generally speaking, meditative, contemplative and spiritual practices can be incredibly beneficial for psychological health, stability, well being etc. This is especially true when those practices and teachings are body oriented and encompassing of a life guided by a genuine spiritual search and longing while living a well adjusted life in society, including making money, having relationships, jobs, projects, families etc. The teachings and practices of this retreat fit 100% in that category of spiritual teachings and practice. (This is certainly not always the case as many approaches in spirituality directly emphasise or are drawn from a cultural context in which genuine spirituality is seen as something incompatible with such a lifestyle. In such cases the practices and teachings may be entirely unhelpful, even damaging to someone seeking to heal deep traumas and psychological disorders). If you are passing through a difficult moment in life, like a loss, breakup or major change in life direction and circumstance, or if you have a history of trauma or psychological disorder that is well managed through therapy and previous personal development work, we know from experience that this retreat can be massively beneficial. Having said this, this retreat is not specifically designed to address people or situations of extreme psychological need. While everyone is welcome here, regardless of background and psychological state, if you are actively seeking to heal from traumatic life events or seeking alternative forms of treatment for diagnosed psychological disorders (such as bipolar, schizophrenia etc.) we would not recommend you attending this retreat. The reasoning behind this is that while we can help (Sasha is a licensed and practising psychotherapist and we both have years of experience working with people in quite extreme situations), in the context of this retreat (which is silent and by definition avoids direct personal contact and interaction between participants and/or facilitators) we are not able to provide the specific 1:1 support that is required in such delicate situations.
