Female Empowerment Shamanic Retreats

We live in the times of awakening the Sacred Feminine energy. Women are very powerful beings, but
they are often unaware of their power....

Most of retreats for women are designed and run by women. I have designed this retreat from a male and shamanic perspective.
There is nothing more awesome than a strong, independent, well balanced powerful woman - the one that spreads love and wisdom and inspires others. In order to be that women you need get rid of the fear, be centred and walk on Earth with confidence. Are you ready to embrace your female power?

This retreat is mainly designed to all those women who wish to be stronger and more independent.
Women had been undermined and supressed for generations.....and as we all have 7 generations of energies inside of us there is a lot of space for improvement!

Places of special beauty and special energy of Ancient Greek Goddesses have been selected for this retreat series.

When and where - next proposed dates:

13 - 20 October 2020: Amalfi coast, Italy

1 - 8 Dec 2020: Marsala, Sicily, Italy

5 - 12 Jan 2021: Marsala, Sicily, Italy

We will use a series of healing/empowering techniques, here is an overview of what is offered:

* Emotional release Chi Nei Tsang massage

Women are highly emotional beings and a lot of power is trapped in the water - due to tight connection/dependance to one's mother or children and emotional attachments to old partners.

* Ritual of reconnection to Mother Earth

A shamanic North American tradition that allows reconnection to Gaia - the Mother of all of us.

* Offering to Pachamama/Mother Earth/ Despacho
An ancient tradition used in the Andes, where we pay tribute and give back to the Pachamama asking for blessings, protection and guidance.

* Individual healing session / consultations

* Daily yoga classes to help harmonise and smooth out the energies

* Visits to the local Goddesses Temples and ritual

* Some meditation with mantras for female empowerment
