Alchemy Women Rising
Embodying Our True Desires
with Andrea Hartley and Paula Arranz
Retreat Description
We are living in a time when feminine energy is repressed, and connection with our true Nature, Purpose and Desires are threatened by external pressures. During this retreat you will connect with the deepest self and embody your true desires from a space of alignment, forgiveness and love, so you can live your purpose freely. We are going to journey through each phase of the creative cycle, recover childlike dreams and playfulness, melt barriers to the heart, alchemize wounds, trust our intuition, find flow and surrender to our true nature. We will combine light and shadow work to facilitate a deep healing and transformative experience. We will have women’s circles, workshops, ecstatic dance, visualizations, meditations, alchemical breathwork, Tantra practices, aerial yoga, hula hoop, Vinyasa and Yin yoga, womb healing, rituals, art therapy, oracle card readings, womb healing, and time to rest and integrate in the beautiful surrounding nature of Watamu and Tsavo East.
This retreat will take place at Watamu Treehouse in Kenya.
