Divine Retreat

THE INVITATION

There’s a moment in a woman’s life when the old ways stop working.

Not because you’re broken — but because you’re ready.

This retreat is a gentle, powerful archetypal journey designed for beginners to medium-beginners: clear, embodied, trauma-informed, and deeply nourishing. We’ll move through four living archetypes — Mother, Catalyst, Princess, and Priestess — with a full day-and-night Priestess immersion to complete the initiation.

You’ll leave with more than inspiration. You’ll leave with practices, clarity, and a felt sense of self-trust.

NOT JUST ANOTHER RETREAT

This is a guided archetypal immersion — not a luxury escape.You’ll be held in a structured journey from morning into the evening, with space for rest and integration. Every practice is designed to bring you back into your body, your boundaries, your pleasure, and your sovereignty — without forcing, without performing.

Expect a blend of:

women’s circles + deep witnessing
Reiki, sound-healing, ritual, movement
Breath, voice, and devotional practices
embodied yoga/pilates + nervous system regulation
archetype activation + shadow integration
optional guest sessions (1–2 sessions or special workshops)

DAY 1 | Arrival + Opening Portal

Landing, safety, and sisterhood.

Arrive, land, and exhale. We settle into our private beachfront home, meet the group, and open the container with gentle ritual, intention-setting, and the agreements that create safety, depth, and sisterhood.

DAY 2 | THE MOTHER

DAY 1 | Arrival + Opening Portal

Nourishment. Safety. Devotion. Grounded love.

We begin with the Mother to build a regulated foundation for the whole retreat—softening the nervous system, learning to receive, and reconnecting to the part of you that knows how to care without overgiving.

DAY 3 | THE CATALYST

DAY 1 | Arrival + Opening Portal

EVENING 3 | THE PRINCESS

Catalyst (day):

Fire. Change. Courage. Sacred disruption.

This is the turning point—where you meet your edge, speak what’s true, and choose what you’re no longer available for. Boundaries, boldness, and clean action.

EVENING 3 | THE PRINCESS

Princess (evening):

Pleasure. Innocence. Desire. Tender worthiness.

In the evening we soften into the Princess—joy, beauty, and the permission to want what you want. A sweet landing after the fire, bringing the nervous system back into safety and receptivity.

DAY 4 | THE PRIESTESS

EVENING 3 | THE PRINCESS

DAY 4 | THE PRIESTESS

Truth. Inner knowing. Sacred voice.

Day 4 is devoted entirely to Priestess: deep listening, ritual, and integration. We move slowly and intentionally—so your intuition becomes louder than your doubt.
In the evening, we complete the initiation with a culminating Priestess ceremony: being witnessed, anchored, and sealed in your inner authority.

DAY 5 | Departure

EVENING 3 | THE PRINCESS

DAY 4 | THE PRIESTESS

Integration. Gratitude. Homecoming.

We close slowly and beautifully—sharing reflections, anchoring what you’re taking with you, and naming the next right steps for your life back home. A gentle farewell, a final blessing, and a clear return to the world—more you than you’ve been in a long time.

Frequently Asked Questions

if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Who is this retreat for?

This is for women who feel the call for a new chapter — and want to explore archetypes, ritual, and embodiment in a way that’s grounded, clear, and safe. You don’t need to be “spiritual enough.” You just need to be willing to show up, participate, and meet yourself honestly.

It’s especially supportive if you’re in a transition (identity, relationship, motherhood, menopause, purpose, grief, or a quiet inner awakening) and you’re craving sisterhood, structure, and practices you can take home.

Do I need experience with archetypes, yoga, or ritual?

No. This retreat is designed for beginners to medium-beginners. We’ll guide you step-by-step, with clear structure and lots of integration time.

What if I’m sensitive, anxious, or easily overwhelmed?

You’re welcome here. We work in a trauma-informed way and prioritize nervous system regulation, consent, and choice. You can always opt out, take space, or participate at your own pace.

Is this a “therapy retreat”?

It’s not therapy, and it’s not a coaching program. It’s a guided spiritual and embodiment immersion — with practices that can be deeply healing, held in community.

What’s the group size?

We keep the group intimate so you feel seen and safe. Exact numbers depend on room selection, but the intention is always quality over quantity.

What language is the retreat in?

English.

Can I come alone?

Yes — many women do. You won’t be “the only one.” Sisterhood begins the moment you arrive.

What’s the accommodation like?

We’ll stay at Makai Bungalows in Playa del Águila, Gran Canaria, with exclusive use for our group. You can choose a single room or a shared double room. The setting is calm, beachfront, and designed for rest.

What’s included in the food?

Breakfast and lunch are included each day. Dinners are typically on your own or shared informally, so you have freedom and spaciousness.

How do I reserve my spot?

Reserve your place with a €500 deposit (split payment possible). Payment plans are available, and full payment is due by May 1, 2027.
