“When Women Gather ….”
…..they dance and sing
…..they share and laugh
…they sit in silence and share their stories.
This is a day retreat for women to come together in sisterhood to heal, slow down, reconnect with our innate wisdom and empower ourselves in creative expression through voice and movement, yin yoga and meditation. It will be a journey to remind ourselves who we are in our pure essence and how to let go what does not serve us anymore and to open up to the beauty and softness in ourselves.
The healing sounds and movements will take us to the deeper layers of our emotions and together we create a space where we can allow ourselves to release and reconnect.
Through the practices we explore :
Connection – Connecting with our inner world and instinctual nature through deep movement practices and yin yoga, enables us to access the innate wisdom inside us and allows to step into the flow of life.
Honour – Sisterhood gives us the opportunity to honor each others path through sharing the stories and experiences, sharing the food together and encourageing each other to step into our true power as women. There will be space to explore our sensuality through dance and allow the wild woman to bloom.
Joy - In ancient traditions already women were the ones who gathered and sang together. They sang about life, they sang about nature, they sang about love. So do we come together to sing and feel joy of connecting with other sisters through music. We will sing heart songs, songs for Mother Earth, healing songs and mantras.
Surrender – Voice healing session will invite you to surrender to what is and let go what was. Your own voice becomes the tool of transformation that invites you to open up to the unknown and allow the flow. Through simple voice toning practices you will find freedom in singing and become more aware of your voice as your soul expression and you will be invited to the path of your soulsong.
Creativity – As women we have a responsibility to express our creativity, be it through creating a family, a community, harmony, works of art, dance, music or anything that calls us in a our own
original way. In this retreat you have an opportunity to allow yourself to open up to your uniqueness in artistic expression and explore the art of improvisation with your voice and body.
This gathering will take place in the beautiful foresty surroundings of magical Sintra, in Floresta Encantada that offers a transformational space to awaken to more love and healing.

Voice Healing
In the session you will be introduced to proper energetic alignement and will be guided through a voice toning chakra healing sequence to balance and harmonize your chakras; at the end of the session you will be guided to find your soulsong through improvisation.
Voice toning itself is a simple process of releasing the vocal sound with a vowel ( either a , e , i , o , u ) and directing it towards a certain chakra area in the body. Each chakra corresponds to a specific vowel, tone and colour which links to a specific anatomical area of the body. By toning on certain vowels we awaken the blocked areas in our energy field and release the negative emotional patterns that has been stored there for many years.
Singing Circle
Since ancient times women gathered to sit, pray and sing together. We will sing together songs that will strengthen the sisterhood bond, connect us with different elements in nature and prayers to the Divine.
Movement meditation
It is a guided practice that involves being mindful of the sensations that occur during movements. You will be guided through different waves that help you to become more mindful of different body parts and energy flow through your whole energy field. We will connect to different elements of nature and allow body freely express their energetic flows and invite them to heal us. If the weather allows us, it can take place outside in the flourishing garden of Floresta Encantada.
Light language Sound journey
You are invited to fall into a deep relaxation through the Lemurian healing sounds and Light codes of Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Love and Compassion that will activate your divine feminine being and open up to higher vibrations and love.
