How does the BELOVED Retreat incorporate the healing of the dark feminine?

The BELOVED Retreat is a transformative experience that seeks to empower women by tapping into the healing power of the dark feminine. In a society that often glorifies the light, the retreat offers a safe space for women to explore and embrace the shadow aspects of themselves in order to find wholeness and healing.

The dark feminine represents the aspects of the feminine that are often marginalized or suppressed in our culture. These include qualities such as intuition, emotion, sensuality, and creativity, but also darker aspects such as rage, grief, and fear. In patriarchal societies, these qualities are often seen as weak or undesirable, leading women to repress them in order to fit into societal norms.

The BELOVED Retreat recognizes the importance of embracing and integrating these aspects of the feminine in order to achieve true healing and empowerment. Through a series of workshops, rituals, and group activities, participants are guided to explore and confront their own shadow aspects, allowing them to release old wounds and traumas and step into their full power.


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


One of the key components of the retreat is the practice of shadow work, a psychological process that involves exploring and integrating the darker aspects of the self. By acknowledging and working through these hidden aspects, women are able to release emotional baggage and limiting beliefs that have been holding them back. This process can be challenging and uncomfortable, but it is essential for true healing and transformation.

The retreat also incorporates various healing modalities such as yoga, meditation, dance, and art therapy to help women connect with their bodies and emotions. These practices are designed to help participants release tension and trauma stored in the body, allowing for a deeper sense of relaxation and self-acceptance.

In addition to individual healing, the BELOVED Retreat also emphasizes the importance of community and sisterhood. Through group activities and sharing circles, women are able to connect with one another on a deep level, creating a sense of belonging and support that is often lacking in our disconnected society. This sense of community allows women to feel seen and heard, and to realize that they are not alone in their struggles.

Overall, the BELOVED Retreat offers a powerful and transformative experience for women seeking to heal and empower themselves. By embracing the dark feminine and doing the necessary inner work, participants are able to release old wounds, connect with their true selves, and step into their full power. The retreat serves as a reminder that true healing comes from embracing all aspects of ourselves, both light and dark, and that by doing so, we can find true wholeness and empowerment.

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.
