The Ripening is a 1-day retreat for women to explore a heart’s desire and how to bring it into fruition.

If you have a heart’s desire that you want to ripen into reality - even just the whisper of a desire - this retreat is for you. Your heart’s desire might be about the kind of work you really want to do, a project you’re passionate about beginning, or an adventure you want to go on. Perhaps it’s a creative yearning, living a different kind of life, or shifting a dynamic in a relationship. Your heart’s desire can be big, small, or somewhere in-between, and it will be deeply personal to you.

Our predominantly masculine world prioritises logic, productivity, and predictability while ignoring body-centred feminine practices in service of our desires. When we neglect the wisdom of the feminine, this heartless approach leaves us feeling disheartened and heart-sore. This retreat is a day inspired by the feminine; it’s a day to ripen your heart’s desire from the inside out.

We provide a nourishing process of circlework, somatic movement, yin yoga and yoga nidra, meditation, breathwork, story-telling, journaling, and the inspiring company of like-minded women to support your exploration. Our holistic approach integrates the deep wisdom of your heart, mind, and soul so that ripening your desire into fruition becomes an organic process. Your next steps will reveal themselves in a natural and intuitive way.

Join us.

The Ripening 1-Day Retreat is an intimate gathering limited to 20 women.
