SHE WHO RETURNS TO HERSELF
A sacred return to the woman within.
A Women’s Retreat for Reconnection, Reclamation & Rise
FRIDAY 19 - SUNDAY 21 September 2025
🌿 A Sacred Homecoming 🌿
Somewhere along the way, many of us forget.
We forget how powerful we are. How wild. How soft. How sacred.
This is your invitation to return.
To the woman underneath the “shoulds” and expectations.
To your breath. Your body. Your truth.
She Who Returns to Herself is a soul-deep, 3-day retreat where you’ll be lovingly guided to reconnect with your authentic and unapologetic self.
Held in the heart of the Hawkesbury River, this is a space to soften, to rise, and to remember.
💗 What Awaits You
This retreat weaves together powerful feminine practices, ancient wisdom, and deep embodiment—offering you a sanctuary to come back to yourself.
🔮 Sacred Women’s Circles
Be witnessed. Be heard. Be held. These aren’t casual conversations—these are sacred, ceremonial spaces facilitated with depth and care. You’ll be invited to share, reflect, journal, release, and express your truth in a space where radical honesty and full acceptance are the norm. It’s a return to sisterhood and soul connection.
🌀 Tantric Embodiment & Somatic Movement
These practices are about dropping out of the head and into your body.
Slow, sensual, and sacred—guided movement that invites you to listen deeply, feel fully, and move with intention and freedom. Here, you reclaim your feminine energy, your sensuality, your power.
🌬️ Breathwork Journeys
Let your breath lead the way. You’ll be guided through breathwork sequences and journeys designed to reset the nervous system, release stagnant emotion, and connect you to altered states of awareness. Each breath becomes a pathway to stillness, healing, and reconnection.
🎶 Kundalini Activation & Sound Healing
Experience the alchemy of sound and energy. Through crystal bowls, drumming, voice, and guided frequency activation, you’ll release energetic blocks, ignite your life force, and feel a full-body shift in presence. This is deep. This is transformational. This is your inner world awakening.
💃 Ecstatic Dance Under the Stars
It’s not about how it looks. It’s about how it feels. You’ll be held in an expansive space to move freely and fully. Dance becomes your medicine, your prayer, your liberation.
Set to DJ-curated soul beats under the moonlight, you’ll let go of layers and move into your truest expression.
🌿 Nature Immersion & Ritual
The land holds you as much as the space does. Expect time in stillness, walking meditations, fire rituals, sunrise moments, nature altar creation, and grounding practices in the lush Blue Mountains landscape. It’s a chance to rewild your soul and reconnect to Earth and self.
🍲 Nourishment for the Body & Spirit
All meals are vegetarian, seasonal, and created with love to nourish and ground you. There’ll be no rushing—just slow mornings, soulful meals, nourishing snacks, and space for tea, chats, or journaling as you integrate your experience.
🔥 Fire Ceremony & Integration
We close our sacred weekend around the flame.
To honour what you’re leaving behind.
To celebrate what you’re calling in.
To witness each other in full, unapologetic return.
