Have you ever felt yourself shrink as you enter a room, your body uttering a non verbal apology for simply existing?
*Oops! Sorry, sorry sorry!*
Have you silenced your true voice to keep the peace with others?
*Shhh….you’re being too….too loud, too much, too everything*
Have you downplayed your own power, talents and gifts in order to be perceived as a “good, modest woman”?
*Oh it was nothing really! No, don’t thank me, thank YOU!*

As women, many of us are afraid of claiming our true power. Our power to occupy the space. To speak our truth. To shine and be seen as the gloriously weird and beautiful human beings we are.
The witch wound runs deeps within our bodies. Historically, the powerful, outspoken women of our line have not been safe. We’ve learned over generations that staying alive means staying small, quiet, hidden.
It’s also true that our culture does us no favours when it comes to modelling power. All around us we see dominance, power OVER, tyrants and abusers who trample over the rest of us. If having power means dominating and controlling, we don’t want it.
True power is about exerting our influence in healthy ways, to steer our people towards freedom, vitality and prosperity.

It’s about power WITH.
It’s about holding firm boundaries while opening our hearts wide.
It’s about leading with integrity to protect what is precious to us.
It’s about living unapologetically.

How many women do you know who are living someone else’s life?
A life that might be ok, on the surface. Of course, we’ve all had to make some compromises…
We lose connection with our embodied power when we feel cornered in a life that doesn’t suit us. Your life should feel uniquely, preciously YOURS.
I wonder, if you had abundant power to live as you choose, to live the life that really feels like YOU…
What would be different? What changes would you make? What boundaries would need to be in place to protect what is precious to you?
Here, the women of our community share their experiences of our most recent retreat:
“I have felt truly treasured. Your deep concern, your womanly magic gifted with huge open hearts has penetrated my frozen core...Thank you isn’t enough.”
“Nurturing, enlightening, fun and thought-provoking...Exceeding my expectations!”
“I’m leaving smiling and feeling light and happier with myself than I have been for a long time.”
“I came stressed and full-on and am leaving energised and ready for my next chapter.”
“If you’re not sure this is for you, do it! You will not be disappointed.”
“I have a full heart and have been uplifted, especially at a time in my life when this was much needed.”
“A beautiful, restful, stimulating experience. Giving me inspiration to try new things. And fully embrace my life.”
“I could not have predicted I would feel such love and connection with this tribe of strong, creative and alive women. My sisters. I take home with me the sprouted seeds of deep connection and love. This is what I was seeking, and this is what I have found. Thank you for this transformative experience.”

In this 2-day experience, we’ll be exploring the key theme of EMBODIED FEMININE POWER.
I wish I’d seen more examples of healthy feminine power in my culture when I was growing up. All around me I saw competition, comparison, rampant body insecurities, plus a big dose of shame… If you just think about how many of us were treated when we got our first bleed, you know what i’m talking about.

We still have very few examples of what healthy feminine power looks like.
Now, I know when I see it.
Powerful women don’t waste their time waiting for others to validate or approve of their choices.
Powerful women are often weird and wise, eccentric and interesting. They are content with being alone. They are also happy to be at the centre of the party. They ebb and flow like the tides, like the moon. They are attuned to their own inner rhythm, and this is the authority they bow to.

Powerful women also know that their greatest gift, to others and to themselves, is their presence. So they do practices to help them to feel calm, centered and present.
On this retreat you’ll learn to inhabit your own body as a generator of healing power. You’ll use your breath, your touch, your voice and guided movements to generate warmth, pleasure and embody healthy power.
The power to be exactly as you are now.
The power to claim your space on the earth.
The power to know that you are good and worthy, right now.
The power to speak your truth, and hold your centre even in the fire of other people’s disapproval.
The power to know that you don’t need anyone else’s permission or validation to live the life YOU choose.
We will experience together:
Liberating intuitive movement practices
Transformational breath work for a deep release of healing energy
Inquisitive self massage
Expressive voice work
Powerful music choices to bring about deep states of connection with your insides
Delicious nourishing vegetarian delights: two gorgeous meals, two indulgent snacks, tea, water kefir and ceremonial cacao

“The best healing therapy I have ever undertaken.”
“A major junction in my life feels negotiated.”
“Emily is an extremely gifted healer and teacher.”
“My body already feels liberated.”
“I can’t express to you how nourishing and joyful it felt to be in such a beautiful space with you.”
