"A woman who loves and cares for herself is not selfish. She is powerful."

THE VOICE OF THE WOMB
I grew up with the idea of the female cycle being a burden and an incovenience we have to accept and learn to live with. But what if we stopped seeing it like that and started to worship it as our most truthful and honest compass – our superpower, that has so much more to offer besides the purpose of procreation?
​
In addition to being a musician, I've been in touch with different yoga and meditation techniques for about 18 years now. I don't remember how and why I found it – I guess it somehow found its way to me - but I remember being immediately deeply drawn to this world. It wasn't until a couple of years ago that I understood how all these puzzle pieces of music, yoga, meditation and the very long search for solutions to PMS (premenstrual syndrome) and menstrual cramps and the power of the female cycle came together. I realized how, in our world, we are often taught to suppress our symptoms, our callings – in general, but now specifically when it comes to our womanhood - numbing them with pain killers and forcing our bodies into action when it calls for rest, while being told the pain is „normal" or even suppressing flows of positive energy or being told we are "hysterical" when we feel anger and sadness we cannot rationally explain.​ I had the feeling there was something off about that. So I embarked on a journey to reconnect to the language of the womb, which is speaking to us and signing us constantly when we aren't treating ourselves with love and deep respect for our body and its magical rhythm and not following our unique, authentic path.
I created this retreat to help women to discover, strengthen or reconnect to their cycle and unique voice of their womb. It is for you, if you are in search of, or want more connection to yourself, in a flourishing environment with other women. We'll dive into the four seasons of the female cycle, to understand and unpack the unique gifts every phase brings with it. It is also to help and support in the areas of PMS and menstrual cramps and is a safe, sacred space, where it is not about holding a perfect yoga posture and forcing yourself into movements that are not intuitiv, but strenghtening to feel what your body needs (individually and everytime anew, in different phases of your cycle) and stepping into the power of letting this energy flow through you.
