How do shamanic and tantric practices at retreats create lasting transformation in self-love and relationships?

Shamanic and tantric practices have long been revered for their ability to create profound transformation in individuals, particularly in the realms of self-love and relationships. When these ancient practices are integrated into retreat settings, where participants are able to fully immerse themselves in the teachings and experiences, the potential for lasting change and growth is exponentially increased.

Shamanic practices, rooted in indigenous traditions from around the world, focus on connecting with the natural world, the spirit realm, and one’s own inner wisdom. Through rituals, ceremonies, and journeys, participants are guided to explore and heal the deep wounds and traumas that may be blocking their ability to love and accept themselves fully. By working with plant medicines, drumming, chanting, and other tools, individuals are able to access altered states of consciousness where they can gain new insights, release old patterns, and cultivate a deeper sense of self-love and acceptance.

Tantric practices, on the other hand, stem from ancient Indian traditions and focus on the integration of body, mind, and spirit in order to achieve a state of union with the divine. Tantra emphasizes the cultivation of energy, both sexual and spiritual, and teaches individuals how to harness and channel this energy for healing and transformation. Through practices such as breathwork, meditation, and sacred sexuality, participants are able to break through barriers of shame, guilt, and fear that may be inhibiting their ability to love themselves and others fully.


This 7 week programme is an embodied exploration, of the facets of the feminine, through the lens of sexuality.


When shamanic and tantric practices are combined in retreat settings, the potential for deep healing and transformation is immense. Participants are able to engage in powerful rituals and ceremonies that facilitate the release of old wounds and traumas, while also learning practical tools and techniques for cultivating self-love and healthy relationships. The immersive nature of retreats allows individuals to fully commit to the process of healing and growth, creating a safe and supportive container for deep inner work to take place.

One of the key ways in which shamanic and tantric practices at retreats create lasting transformation in self-love and relationships is through the cultivation of awareness and presence. By learning to connect with their own inner wisdom and intuition, participants are able to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their patterns of behavior. This heightened awareness allows individuals to recognize and release limiting beliefs and negative self-talk, paving the way for a more loving and compassionate relationship with themselves.

In addition, shamanic and tantric practices at retreats often involve working with partners or in group settings, which can be incredibly powerful for healing and transformation. Through practices such as partner yoga, sacred touch, and energy work, participants are able to deepen their connections with others and learn how to communicate and relate in more authentic and loving ways. These practices help individuals to break down barriers of fear and mistrust, allowing for more intimacy and vulnerability in their relationships.

Furthermore, the integration of shamanic and tantric practices at retreats often involves the exploration of the shadow self – those parts of ourselves that we may have suppressed or denied. By shining a light on these darker aspects of our being, participants are able to embrace and integrate all parts of themselves, leading to a greater sense of wholeness and self-acceptance. This process of shadow work is essential for creating lasting transformation in self-love and relationships, as it allows individuals to release shame and judgment and cultivate a more compassionate and loving relationship with themselves and others.

In conclusion, shamanic and tantric practices at retreats offer a powerful path for individuals to create lasting transformation in self-love and relationships. Through the integration of ancient wisdom, modern psychology, and practical tools and techniques, participants are able to heal old wounds, release limiting beliefs, and cultivate a deeper sense of self-acceptance and love. By immersing themselves in these transformative practices in a supportive and nurturing environment, individuals are able to break through barriers and create new pathways for healthy and fulfilling relationships with themselves and others.

I see dolphins jumping in and out of the ocean when I see you, I see conch shells. I also see depth & wisdom. You are a womb oracle. The magic that you bring the the womb space, I have chills running up and down my neck right now. You take the womb and make it into its own world, where we can just crawl up inside & rediscover who we really are and that no, i’ve not met anyone else who can do that and i’ve worked with womb healers. You glow and you’re an angel and I love you dearly."

"You take the womb and make it into its own world... i’ve not met anyone else who can do that! 

- Allison

I celebrate & honour the multidimensional Priestess that lives within you, the moment that I felt you, heard you speak and every Time you step into a space I feel the mother. I honour your choice to be on this path and to share these teachings with the world. And I mother fucking love your silliness too. You are just as beautiful inside as you are radiant outside, truly. Your soul shines. I love you, sweet one."

"You carry very deep feminine wisdom & codes, beyond what you realise & know. 

- Chelsey-Jo

When I think about you I feel so much fluidity, and water and flow and life force essence, just the purest feminine energy. Pure feminine juciness. Like in ancient Hindu philosophy there's the Universe, the ether, the energy, the feminine that IS, the paradox of Kali. Kali can be both crazy & destructive but Kali can also reincarnate as this loving, giving mother, and nurturing and this very giving lover as well and you ARE that. In our womb journey healing that we did together, I mean that’s been and will continue to be a big initiation for me, that I am still getting curious about and it came up in a conversation with a client the other day, that just this intuitive knowing that black holes are the wombs of the universe, and when I said that, i only know that intuitively because I entered my womb with you and that wouldn't have happened if i hadn't met you. Thank you.."

"YOU HOLD ALL THE PHASES OF WOMANHOOD IN THE HERE AND NOW. THE MAIDEN, THE MOTHER, THE CRONE, YOU EMBODY ALL OF THAT, AND THAT IS WHY YOU ARE A WOMB PRIESTESS!

- Julianne

People can experience being in the womb again with you, but the healed womb, going back into that amniotic sac where I can be fluid & flow and know that i'm birthing into a place that's like so cosy and warm and exciting and it's like the removal of the distortions. You have this ability of rebirth through your medicine and your heart-womb connection is like this golden liquid light and it's just so incredible and to witness the way that you hold it is inspiring. And even witnessing you move through the waves it is still so fucking potent and knowing that you always return there, it's incredible. You are the embodiment of the calm in the centre of the storm. So thank you for helping me also remember. I’m grateful to be reunited and I love you."

"You are like the love fairy, the gushy, lovey, invitational, warm honey that just wants to be poured onto the self and immersed in it!

- Kelly

"It's taken me some time to give you a testimonial because I don’t even know how to verbalise, you know! And the thing that your essence is just like so pure & your level of beauty inside & out and your wisdom and I don’t know how to say this but you’re someone I would expect to completely trigger me but with  your purity, i’ve never felt that way about you at all. I’ve always just felt so loved and in equality with you even though you are just so magnificent. You hold every aspect of the feminine all at once, every phase, and I think that’s such a huge piece of your medicine. I love you, thank you."

"I’ve always just felt so loved and in equality with you even though you are just so magnificent.
