Throughout the retreat you will receive insights into the feminine and masculine aspects of conscious BEing, gain awareness of interconnection and symbiotic relationship, discover how each aspect of the whole directly affects your physical, emotional, energetic and mental bodies, and learn powerful Self healing techniques to reclaim and restore the Unified Self.
The Womb Rhythms Gathering is an invitation to become aware of the hidden aspects of Self and the larger surroundings, to gain perspective and insights that enable us to transform the stress of everyday inner and outer life into potential healing situations. It is the mindful choice to fully embrace the dance and flow that is the essence of human life as a spiritual BEing.
This retreat is a loving opportunity to grow beyond what you thought yourself to be thus far, and enter a discovery process about wholeness, authentic regenerative connection, all knowing wisdom, and the empowered path of (self) healing. This sacred path enables us to reclaim the natural rhythm, flow, and grace of Unified BEing.
OUTLINE OF THE MOON, SUN, AND EARTH SESSIONS
MOON SESSIONS
(Exploration of the Receptive Intuitive Realms)
The Moon Sessions offer a full sensory journey within, a deep introspective into the High Heart state of harmonious conscious BEing. These sessions aim to experience the subtle realms through the receptive intuitive senses.
The Moon Sessions take place during the soft moonlit hours and explore our relationship with the Moon - the planetary ruler of the water element, intuition, emotions, and feminine BEing. You will receive meaningful insights into the personal, planetary, and cosmic womb, into the vital role of the physical and etheric umbilical cords (in utero and ex utero), the symbiotic dance of the masculine and feminine aspects in unified consciousness, and the vital role they play in personal and collective wellBEing.
Together we will re-discover and observe the layers of connection and degrees of separation within our delicate underbellies, and the inner realms of the shadow subconscious, so that we may illuminate the dark and raise awareness of where imbalances may reside. Through this process we will assess possible root cause, the energetic connection and psychosomatic effect, and where disharmony is woven into and stored within the filaments of our BEing. We explore all this, and more, during the Moon Sessions.
SUN SESSIONS
(Exploration of the Projective Physical Realms)
Movement is an ancient form of medicine for transformational release, flow, and harmony on all levels. During the Sun sessions, we explore our physical bodies as tools for awareness, personal healing, growth, insight, and our wonderful surprise teachers will gracefully guide you through movement that represents, embodies and resonates with water!
The human womb is where physical life takes form and the wisdom of the body develops, primarily through physical sensations of touch and movement. In this state, body and psyche are not yet differentiated, we are in wholeness and complete. In this unified space, we become aware of and in touch with our primal body rhythm and the rhythms of the womb environment, grounding us physically and emotionally through gravity and water.
These sessions explore the interconnectedness of water and the emotional body through the projective masculine aspect of outward motion, seen and experienced through physical (creative) expression, and movement of the human body. We dive into the qualities of water, navigate its dynamic properties, and discover the symbiotic state of BEing between feminine and masculine within your inner realms and outer environment. We investigate water as a provider of form and structure in our physical body, providing you with insights and skills that will result in a more fluid, flexible and soft state. We explore all this, and more, during the Sun Sessions.
EARTH SESSIONS
(Integration and contemplation)
The Earth Sessions are our place of presence and common ground; the middle plane of reality to ground, embody and fully integrate the teachings of the week. Throughout the Earth Sessions, we examine genetic inheritance, ancestral trauma (through physical and etheric bloodline connection), the war within, energetic stagnation, nurture and release techniques, and explore indigenous ways of natural land based self healing and creative meditation. By the end of the retreat you will have received potent life skills as well as a set of powerful tools to assist you embody the essence of graceful flow. We explore all this, and more, during the Earth Sessions.
