Program

Inspired by nature’s 5 elements, these seven days will be filled with carefully curated sessions and experiences designed to bring about profound healing, connection, insights, and transformation. The elements of earth, water, fire, air, and ether will be your guides, gently bringing you back home to your cyclical feminine nature. You will come together to play, transform, and support one another on this journey of remembrance.

It is a safe space for you to feel and express all of yourself while being surrounded by inspiring, like-minded women. Through embodiment practices, empowering tools, a luxurious and soothing environment, sisterhood, and deep presence with nature, you will experience connection and balance in being: a coming home. Fully alive, joyful, peaceful, and blissful. A deep remembrance of your truest essence beyond all external noise. A safe haven within yourself. A space to drop into, listen and receive the answers you long for.

The beautifully curated venue offers a spa and gym facility as well as optional healing therapies to fully disconnect and relax the body, mind, and spirit from the hustle and bustle of city life.
