Tell me more
Awakening: Soulful Retreat is for women who are fed up with the old paradigm of gossip, competition and envy with their fellow sisters.
For women who want to come together, take the higher road, and encourage and celebrate each other.
We will cultivate actions that support wellness, release stress and anxiety, and spark joy in our lives.
Being in Circle and through deep listening you’ll realise that you’re not alone in your experiences, you are not broken, all of your feelings are welcome here as you lean into vulnerability and cultivate compassion.
Return home feeling more present, grounded and intentional in your everyday life. You’ll feel more in touch with your emotions, be connected with your spiritual support system and grateful for new high vibe connections.
“Build a more profound connection within yourself and to your fellow sisters.
Feel supported, nourished and cherished.”
