Are you ready to reconnect with your true essence and embrace the revolutionary act of self-love?

Let us gather in sacred space for a deeply nourishing experience designed to help you break through the barriers you’ve built against loving yourself as deeply as you love others. Inspired by the wisdom of Rumi, who reminds us, “The way you make love is the way God will be with you. Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” This is an invitation to explore the profound power of self-love and passion in your life.

This workshop offers a collection of ancient healing arts to promote women’s well-being and nourish self-love as a revolutionary act that fosters balance among the body, mind, and spirit. Participants will embark on a journey into the sacred heart space, learning how emotions can influence the physical body.

During our time together, we will explore:

  • Self-healing rituals: Utilize the elements and learn techniques such as meditation, energy work, herbal remedies, and self-care practices that promote mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.
  • Ancestor reverence: Learn the importance of honoring ancestors, connecting to ancestral wisdom, and using it for personal and generational healing.
  • Self-care and nourishment: Discover herbal treatments, spiritual baths, and recipes for body and skin care using everyday kitchen ingredients to enhance women’s wellness.
  • Energy and emotional healing: Explore ways to release energy blockages in the body, particularly around trauma and emotional grief, using breathwork, movement, nature, art, and ceremony.

This workshop is ideal for women seeking to deepen their journey to find the rhythm of their own soul!
