Retreats
Since I started to work in the Perinatal Universe I've been offering day retreats for pregnant couples. Later on I personally felt it was also necessary to mother the mother and started to organize women's retreats with the focus on wellness but also sisterhood and awakening the sacred feminine.
At the moment I'm offering different options going from Day Retreats to weekend or week retreats, for individual couples to only pregnant women from an intimate group of 4 up to 12 women, so all needs can be fully attended.
Soon I will offer also retreats for new mum's and their babies.
So feel free to contact me to book your well deserved treat!
Pregnancy Retreat
I am so grateful I gifted myself this special time in the Pregnancy Retreat, which was so lovingly held by Patricia.She was so aware of all our needs and gave her whole Heart to support us in this Journey of Motherhood.It was a very powerful constellation of facilitators, who worked with us on different levels to open our Bodies, Minds and Hearts to be prepared for the Birth Initiation.There was a very special and profound moment for me, where I connected so intimately with my little one and I am infinitely grateful for this deepening in the Connection of our Souls.I would recommend this Retreat to all pregnant Sisters, as I perceive it as so precious to have a held container, in which you can just fully drop and surrender into the Magic and Mystery of this so sacred Journey.
Thank you Patricia from all my Heart for all the Support, your warm Care and embodied Wisdom you shared with us and thank you to all the beautiful Co-Facilitators sharing their beautiful Medicine.
