The Way Of Woman Retreats
The Sensuality of Silence & the Female Body
In The Way of Woman retreat. we come together to explore resting as the silence that we are. We learn how it feels to be safe, at home, and delighted in our precious female bodies. We connect deeply with our sensual nature and bring this aliveness into everyday life. We will feel ourselves soft yet strong, quiet and alert, receptive and discriminating – an effortless coming together of sensuality and silence.
The next Way of Woman Retreat will take place on Oct 9-13, 2024 near Totnes, Devon, UK.

The focus is to slow down, be still and listen. It is in this that we hear our body’s language. Thus, we find our way back to wholeness, radiance and celebration of BEING YOU! What is it like to feel yourself in your skin? What would it be like to have your breasts smiling, your belly warm, your ovaries dancing and your yoni as your beloved?
Woman so deeply knows what is possible in form as love.
That is her connectedness speaking, her feminine intuition.
In a loving container and safe playground, we will step into the realm of the Goddess. There we explore how to ease into our True Nature and move as that original Wisdom Woman. Life becomes natural, obvious and deliciously alive.
We’ll share meditation, dance, stories, sensual explorations, resting, joy, pain, wonderful food, laughter, intimacy and much more… I’d love to see you there!
Because of the intimate nature of these retreats we limit the number of participants to between eighteen and twenty-five women, depending on the retreat site and number of days.
I love to offer these retreats. They are anchored in the silence. Naturally the women learn to rest as the sensuality of silence in the body and live it in everyday life. It’s not easy to describe what happens in these gatherings. Together we join the flow of Her and are taken into the unknown dark radiance that we are. We create a protected container with a structure that is simultaneously firm and fluid. In this setting the group and the individual spontaneously deepen.
I am very much looking forward to steeping in the elixir of Her mystery together!
