Come home, dear sister
Women’s Somatic Embodiment Retreats
SOVEREIGNTY - BELONGING - POWER - PURPOSE
Come home to your
This retreat is for the woman who is hearing the call home.
The call home to the fullness of her power.
Within every woman lives a healthy innate instinct that guides the unfolding of her unique path and purpose, an instinct that guides her toward the fire within her that she must return to many times in her life to be warmed and resuscitated by.
Within every woman lives this creature that knows her way home, like a wolf to the scent of her kin. You may recognise this wild one in you.
A woman too long away from her own true nature, need only spend time with other women and before long… she remembers her true name.
This retreat is for you if you are ready to remember once more your power as woman and set yourself free to live in the fullness of your purpose, power and pleasure.
This retreat is for you if you are ready to awaken the One within you that rests in unwavering self-trust and is guided in life by her healthy feminine instinct and her devoted masculine follow through.

Some of the themes and practices we will explore together
-
Guided by tantric principles, you will be journeying through dance, meditation and ritual practices to unearth deep medicine, resources, wisdom and buried aspects of yourself that long to be fully expressed.
-
We will be using theatre and role play to explore the inner critic and the Drama Triangle- two external societal forces of conditioning that take away our power and keep us stuck in patterns of drama. These are the “blue-beard” or internal “nay-sayer” and saboteur that act as captors of the feminine psyche and it’s healthy instinct.
We will be exploring sacred touch through massage, returning the body, womb and sexuality back to innocence and sacredness. These practices will also be restoring our connection to sisterhood and the feminine and the joy of giving and receiving as a reciprocity with life.
We will be exploring embodied boundaries, needs, desires, consent and healthy conflict resolution through non-violent communication in order to move through the blocks in your life you currently experience with yourself and those around you to experiencing the life that most deeply yearns to live through you.
-
You will be guided in self reflection to journal on key aspects of your experience in life and your psychic realms.
You will be held safely to share in circle with sisters who celebrate, support, see and feel you in your truth, power and gifts.
-
Just as important as our time in diving deep together, is our time out to just “be” to allow all that we uncover to settle in the soil of our consciousness and begin to integrate into our way of being.
There will be extended breaks to spend time laughing, laying in the spa, swimming in the pool, receiving massage, playing, being in presence and touch together.
The journey looks different from one retreat to another.
In a lot of ways, each retreat is bespoke and I am led to guide by what is most needed by the group.

Experiences from the Retreat
Sevgi
“I feel like I came back to life, back into my body, back into alignment and integrity with myself. It has been medicine to my soul.”
Renee
“I can honestly say I’ve never been on a retreat where such deep love and bonds were formed. What a gift this retreat has been to find such a beautiful sisterhood, where I know we will always be there to champion and support each other.”
Anonymous
“Mariam is a special, magical person. I went to the depths of claiming my longing while feeling so safe, held, and loved over a mere 5 days. If you feel even an inkling of a call to work closer with Mariam, just do it. She is pure magic and the world is a better place with her in it.”
FAQs
WHAT IF I’VE NEVER DONE SOMETHING LIKE THIS BEFORE?
You are welcome to this retreat entirely! There are no prerequesites, only a deep desire to lean in and get curious about who you are outside of your own conditioned and pre-conceived ideas and have some fun! However, we will discuss if this is the right time for you and if you are ready to lean in, because we want you to get the best out of this experience if you are coming along.
DO I HAVE TO BE NAKED IN THE SPACE?
No, you will never have to do anything you do not feel a “yes” to in your body.
A big part of what we will be doing is learning to decipher our “embodied boundaries”- that is learning how to read our body’s “yes” and “no” and building the confidence through the group’s encouragement to honor those boundaries. We are creating a group culture together that offers us all the safety to be in what ever is present for us, without the need to play into people pleasing, fear, shame or guilt. As we deepen, you will likely deepen your capacity to move in more attunement to your own needs in trauma informed ways.
As women begin to liberate themselves of the shackles of conditioning, they often feel the freedom to finally feel celebratory of their beautiful bodies in their unique essence and expression of feminine beauty. Freedom, a sense of feeling sensual, beautiful and sexy is a common experience of women when they heal and unfurl in our time together.
Where ever we find ourselves in honouring our body’s needs, our space will meet you.
