Women’s retreat: Re-connect with your inner flow
Fri, 21st - Sun, 23rd May 2021
After a long period of strain, many of us long to have space to feel themselves again: to rest, to laugh, to be nourished and feel the lightness, hope and abundance of Spring.
We warmly invite you to this women's retreat in nature to support you in reconnecting with your inner flow and regaining balance.
Being able to express who you really are is the greatest gift in life. This needs time to be at ease, a safe space to explore your truth and the support of like-minded people.
During this retreat, we tap into Gea Viva’s powerful heart energy, reconnect with the Earth, the moon and ultimately ourselves through meditation, creative expression, movement, Yoga and meeting in a sacred circle of mutual support. We unearth our deep inner knowing and resettle in our ancestral home: the close connection with all living beings.
The venue
Gea Viva is a peaceful eco island retreat in an olive grove, 15 minutes’ walk from the harbour village of Milna on Brač and within easy reach of public transport.
