They were associated with the Feminine Energy, its power and qualities needed for a balanced and harmonious society.\u00a0We knew the power of our sexual and creative energy. Living our true desires came naturally, and we harnessed this energy for the benefit of all. We were one with Nature, respecting the natural cycles and rhythms of our bodies and needs. We were one with our Intuition which guided us through life. With time, these qualities become dangerous to systems that sought control. So, we got disconnected from all of it: destroying Nature, rejecting our bodies and cycles, losing the sovereignty of our sexuality. Our inherently good desires became associated with shame and unworthiness, and more and more superficial fixes were marketed to appease the wanting self. Guidance and knowledge about our needs now coming from external sources, we forgot the power of our Intuition and stopped trusting ourselves. We\u00a0are living in a time when feminine energy is devalued and repressed, and our true Nature, Purpose and Desires are threatened by external pressures. Together, we have the power to live free.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In this retreat we want to create a safe space for you to connect with the deepest self. We invite you to remember the Alchemy Woman that you are, able to transmute the wounds and pain into a catalyst back to the heart : able to Re- Create your reality and recover your true nature.\u00a0You will embrace your Wholeness and connection to all things within yourself, integrating those parts and unmet needs that were repressed in order to survive. You will connect with your deepest Desires from a space of alignment, forgiveness and love, and Embody those Desires: living your purpose.\u00a0 By honouring what the deepest self wants, we want you to feel like you are really living the life of your dreams in this present moment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Our Feminine Cycle and its different phases will guide us through this journey. Our body is our vehicle to experience life and through it, we can experience the different phases of our creative cycle and archetypes. We will unleash all the qualities and powers in each phase to release, heal and embrace whatever is needed. Each of those phases gives us the opportunity to alchemize our wounds into Desires.\u00a0We will recover the playfulness and dreams of the child; melt the armors that closed our Heart and will open to Love. We will release the blocks, patterns and programs that castrate our freedom and sensuality, opening ourselves to feel again. We will connect with our inner guidance and intuition, remembering to trust it.\u00a0We will accept and surrender to the changes of our natural cycles, and find balance and flow with the rhythms of life. We will practice living more in alignment with ourselves, adapting our reality to our needs and desires rather than living for the external. We will surrender to ourselves and our Desires.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is an experiential retreat where we want you to really experience and find your own truth within. We don\u2019t want you to believe anything we say, but instead to explore it and find what is true for you. We have been raised thinking that all answers are outside us, and we want to shift the focus within and build the trust in our intuition through the experience in our bodies.\u00a0It is a deep healing and transformative experience where we will combine light and shadow work, with time to rest and integrate in the beautiful Nature that surrounds Watamu Treehouse.Nature is a big part of our retreat as she will be holding the space for us and helping us to process and integrate everything that will come up for us.\u00a0In this experience, we will have women\u2019s circles, different workshops, Ecstatic dance, Visualisations, Meditations, Alchemical Breathwork, Tantra practices, Aerial Yoga, Hula Hoop, Vinyasa and Yin Yoga, Womb Healing, Rituals, Art therapy, Oracle card readings, Womb Healing and much more.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><i>This retreat is for you if you\u2026.<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Are ready to Re-Create Yourself<\/p>\n<p>Want to step into your Feminine Nature and Power<\/p>\n<p>Want to experience Yourself fully<\/p>\n<p>Want to open and share with other women and thrive together<\/p>\n<p>Feel stuck or frustrated in any area of your life and need clarity and guidance<\/p>\n<p>Want to stop identifying yourself with your story<\/p>\n<p>Want to connect with Nature and the power of this magical land<\/p>\n<p>Are a woman whether you have your blood and physical uterus or not<\/p>\n<p>Are ready to look into yourself and your shadows<\/p>\n<p>Feel disconnected from your Creativity<\/p>\n<p>Are receiving signals from your body manifested in physical disharmonies: infertility, PCO\u00b4S, fibroids, infections\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Can hear the call within as you read the information<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>YOUR FACILITATORS<\/p>\n<p>Paula Arranz &#8211; Mujer Naturaleza<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Creator of \u201cMujer Naturaleza\u201d (Woman Nature).
