Sex, Love & Prayer: This session explores the intersection of sexuality, love, and spirituality through yoga and meditation, from down to up, promoting a holistic understanding of these aspects of life.
Breathwork Inner Child Healing: In this breathwork session, participants dive deep into their inner child’s experiences, healing past wounds, and finding emotional release and growth.
Into the Womb: This breathwork session takes participants on a journey within, focusing on the womb as a symbol of creation and rebirth, allowing for profound self-discovery and transformation.
Women’s Tantra The Womb Space: These workshops explore the sacred energy within the womb, helping women connect with their feminine power, intuition, and healing abilities.
Awaken into Heart Center: These workshops guide participants in awakening their heart’s center, promoting self-love, compassion, and emotional balance.
Creative Therapy: Creative Therapy is a healing session that utilizes art, movement, or other creative outlets to explore and process emotions, release stress, and foster self-expression. It provides a safe and transformative space for individuals to connect with their inner selves through artistic means.
Sound Healing: Sound Healing is a meditative practice that uses soothing sounds, such as singing bowls, gongs, or chants, to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and align the body’s energy. It involves immersing participants in harmonious vibrations to facilitate physical and emotional well-being.
Voice Activation: This is a practice using intentional vocalization for healing, self-expression, and empowerment. It helps release emotions, boost confidence, deepen spirituality, and promote group unity
Women’s Sacred Night: Women’s Sacred Night is a special gathering that celebrates the divine feminine energy. It often includes rituals, ceremonies, and shared experiences among women to honor their inner strength, intuition, and interconnectedness. This sacred space fosters a sense of community, empowerment, and spiritual connection among women participants.
Kundalini Activation: The Kundalini Activation process is a spiritual journey aimed at awakening the Kundalini energy believed to be dormant at the base of the spine. This awakening is thought to lead to higher states of consciousness and spiritual enlightenment.
