WOMB AWAKENING
The womb is a sacred cauldron of feminine wisdom and power—a portal where spirit and matter converge, holding the ancient secrets of life. It is our connection to the web of existence that unites all beings. The womb is the sacred center of a woman’s being, the source of her power, creativity, and intuition. When the womb is centered and aligned, every aspect of her life comes into balance, allowing her to move through the world with clarity, strength, and purpose. Nurturing the womb is nurturing life itself, fostering harmony within and without. When we return to this center, we become grounded, present, and empowered, aligning with the rhythms of our feminine essence.
Each womb carries its own story—a tapestry of emotions, trauma, and ancestral lineage. By honoring our cyclical nature and embracing menstrual awareness, we access an inner temple where the womb reveals its profound wisdom. This is the path to living in alignment with your true blueprint, unlocking your innate creativity and power.
This retreat offers a transformative journey into the depths of your feminine being. Through healing group processes, sacred ceremonies, and gentle movement practices, you’ll nurture your body and womb, releasing stagnant emotions and reclaiming your creative force. Physical motherhood or a physical womb is not required—all are welcome, as we each carry the energetic blueprint of the womb within us.
The frequency of this land supports deep womb work. Legends speak of Mary Magdalene, a key archetype of the Divine Feminine, who is said to have lived in this region of France. As a Priestess of ancient womb rites, her energy imbues this sacred place with transformative power. Her teachings remain alive here, guiding us as we embark on a pilgrimage to sacred sites. These spaces amplify our connection to womb consciousness and the profound wisdom and creativity it holds, aligning us with the ancient rhythm that unites us all.
This retreat is for you if you are ready to:
Experience profound healing for your heart and womb, fostering inner balance and harmony.
Reconnect with your womb space and feminine energy, release past traumas, or reclaim your inner power and wisdom.

“To meet 12 woman who I had not known before, but to learn something from each of them. To accept each other like a sisterhood. To be held by each other without judgement. To laugh together and be open, to cry together and not show fear, to listen to each other with open hearts. To sit in union with faith that what will be will be, and what beholds will unfold, to know we met for a reason and to know we have met before. ”
