Dakini Yoga and Erotic Womb Dance
with Shantell Shakti

We call upon the wisdom of The Dakini (sky-dancer), an ancient deity of LOVE, Liberation, Transmutation & Spiritual Awakening. The Dakini embodies the untamed feminine read about The Dakini

Dakini Yoga: is a profoundly feminine bliss practice that prepares you for facing challenging situations in daily life with more love, acceptance, presence, courage and self-empowerment. Your ability to stay present in your heart and body during stressful times are key to fulfilling relationships.
Erotic Dakini Womb Dance: is your essential dance of seduction for life. This is a dance of devotion, of the High Priestess Temple Dancer, exploring the organic, erotic nature of woman, unifying love and sexuality and asks the question, "Am I using my power wisely?"

Dive into your inner Divine, Ancient Wisdom of the Dakini on Saturday morning

Yoni Steams + Maya Abdominal Massage
With Tania Fox & Shantell Shakti

Yoni Steaming is a sacred, beautiful and nourishing ancient ritual to support womb wellness, fertility, sexual vitality, emotional and hormonal balance. It sends oxygenated blood to the pelvic bowl, promoting cleansing, nourishing, toning and healing.  
Maya Abdominal Massage has been used to support reproductive and digestive health for centuries and is an holistic path to physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.
It is a non-invasive, external, technique, that guides internal abdominal organs into their proper position for optimum health. Maya massage improves organ function by releasing physical and emotional congestion from the abdomen. Relieving congestion and blockages, improve the flow of chi and fluids of the circulatory, lymphatic and nervous systems to prevent the progression of chronic disease symptomology.


Join Tania & Shantell for these nurturing practices on Saturday morning

Goddess Womb Meditation, Sound and Emotional Healing with Chantal Clearwater
What does your infinitely wise body have to tell you?
Be guided on a meditative journey into the womb of the Goddess. Remember how it felt to feel safe, nurtured and loved unconditionally.

Experience Chantal’s light language sound healing unlocking places in your psyche ready to heal. Then in a safe environment through mindful attention, present expression, and loving acceptance we will ask our pain what it has to tell us. Through our physical senses in present moment awareness we will hold and nurture our bodies and emotions with loving tenderness. Through a very slow walking meditation we will discover how we unconsciously hold ourselves in the world and how we can truly and lovingly hold our precious selves with care and consciousness.

Be delighted and guided on Saturday afternoon with Chantal

  • Shamanic Womb Manifestation & Healing
with Makeda Aset
Shamanic medicine and healing is centred on the health of the
individual and the community they operate in.

As Women we are creators. Influenced by the cycles of things, nature and intuition we have an instinctive ability to bring spirit into matter. By knowing when and how to use the power of our wombs, we can become intentional co-creators.

Makeda believes that every one has a psychic ability, an intuition, a voice that guides them everyday. Not only that, we have an incredible source of wisdom accessible inside of us. On this retreat, she will teach us some tools for accessing our womb wisdom for Manifestation and Healing.


Lets all put our womb power to good use on Sunday morning

Soul Moves, A Dance of Life and Sacred Songs
with Geeti

“Dance and movement can touch places deep within us that words and thinking cannot reach. It is a precious portal through which we can travel, discover, explore, connect and transform ourselves and each other with creativity, joy and deep presence.” Geeti

Meditation, creativity and spirituality through dance, movement music and sound are powerful ways of connecting with our eternal nature through the sacred vessels of our finite bodies.

Soul Moves is the expressive medium of free-form, conscious dance where there are no steps to learn. You will discover that your own body has its own language of movement that spontaneously unfolds with some simple guidance, captivating music and a collective supportive energy.

ALL are Welcome on Sunday for our closing Soul Moves Womb Celebration


From Kate, 24 yo
"With every step forward, I walk with my women behind me. I am never alone, I am always held. I move with their spirit, their stories, their wisdom. Women of courage, women of endurance, women of passion - they are present with me in every breath, every moment.
I call on my grandmothers' guidance, bask in my mothers love. My cousins and soul sisters, my singing women, my wild women, my fire women and my water women, my earth women.
My teachers, my mentors, and even my long lost women - together they chant my grounding chorus. They give me the strength to give strength to others. They encourage my mind to stay open and nurture my heart to stay full. I feel their sorrows, hear their grief, and share their vulnerabilities.
I absorb their excitement and laughter, dance with their joy, play with their freedom. I thank mother earth for the power, depth and complexity of my women. And as I wander along my path, I embrace all that I encounter. I hold gratitude for where I've been, and honour the paths that have been traveled before me.
On this journey, I am fearless. Because with every step forward, I walk with my women behind me.
Thank you wonderful women for the nourishment and love I experienced so fully this weekend. It reaffirmed my trust in the healing that arises so organically from women coming together to connect, share and explore. Powerful stuff!"
From Emily, 47 yo
"What I took away from this time with my sisters is water blessings inside and outside of me and that connecting with nature fosters the healing and growth.
I have not worn shoes and I stood in the rain with my daughter today. I know that above all else I learned the most valuable lesson is that we are here in this life to love one another and learn from each other though sharing true expressions of ourselves.
You ladies have restored my faith in trusting others. Thank you so much xx right now I feel gratitude and light xx so much love"
From Debra
"My take home was how beautiful it felt.. to be fully organic.. no shoes, no showers, ha ha no clothes to swim in, no schedule just offerings, awesome food, awesome sisters to be with in community, inspiring beautiful wildlife and mother earth to enjoy.. On reflection i felt like i was living in a time warp totally present. big hugs and love to you all so supportive..
From Katherine, 30's, mama with bub
"My take home was beautifully summarised in one of Debra's closing songs "Blessed we are" by Peia which sang "remember why you came here" I want to keep this in my consciousness as the foundation for all that i do in my relationship to self, to Mother Earth and to make a difference to the people with whom I cross paths. With theme being sensuality My work in progress is to continue to self love, release my inherited sexual shame and make way for the emerging goddess."
From Cheryl
"Thank you so much Goddess my take home was the energy over the weekend - discovery , connectedness , bliss , surreal , yummy , soft , free, gratitude, happiness, sensual, delicious, acceptance , laughter .
I just felt so good , I was so happy with you sisters , energy between us all was a beautiful gentle flow , a true circle of goddesses . Lol I also liked the kitten play on the grass - meowwww"
From Geeti
"Thank you Shantell and to all the sisters in the circle of 13 for a very nurturing and nourishing weekend. It was just the medicine my soul needed.. to be in a space where I felt totally supported in whatever I felt to do or not to do. The organic flow, the space for rest and integration, the beautiful array of workshops offered, shared meals, flowing river and Bodhi tree. The perfect environment to switch gears into pure woman being.
Was great to finally experience your work first hand Shantell ... I loved the full permission you allowed and embodies for us all to connect deeply with the fullness of our sensuality, pleasure and joy.
Bastian...the sweat was magical...you held us all with so much lightness and strength....really grateful for all the time and energy you put into creating this experience for us all...it really set a strong platform for the whole weekend.
Juliette ...I loved the scientist in you which so clearly laid out all the options of all the movements we can have access to for us. Loved your strength as well as vulnerability.
Noeleen you are a powerhouse with a fairy spirit...a delight to be in your presence...just couldn't quite meet you for the full dance as the sun was too much for me but enjoyed it from the river!
Debra ...loved you and your ability to tune in to what was needed at the end and offer it with so much grace and beauty. And to every other woman present...as I said I take home a little of each of you with me! Much love. Until next time... keep shining on"
Geeti
From Jude
"I LOVED being with you all .... I've never felt so at home in my own skin as being with you all this last weekend .... thank you to every one of you for showing up and playing with me I've never felt so safe and included .... and now I'm home I am aware of a new level of vulnerability I'm learning to feel safe with .... it's quite exquisite and it's always been here but was buried in shame ancestrally .... and now she's ready to shine"
From Bastian, mid 40's
"Thank you so much to our head visionary Shantell Shakti who lovingly brought us all together.
I feel very peaceful and so relaxed..... knee deep in the energies of sisterhood, Mother Nature, dance, fire, running rivers and the endless bugs of the bush.
Love and gratitude to all my wonder-full sisters, the team who shared their magick and the beautiful caretakers of The Grove for loving & respecting this land so much."
