Ignite your Feminine Energy to live in LOVE, FLOW and ABUNDANCE

     When a woman lives through her feminine energy, she is healthy, magnetic, full of energy and passion for life. She trusts and her heart is open. She emanates and attracts love. She easily rides the waves of her emotions, and navigates life’s challenges with grace.

 

     Unfortunately, most of us women had to adopt living in a men’s way. We compete with each other and the men, we suppress our emotions, we work hard and achieve high goals, we take care of the children too… And, despite all the achievements, we end up unfulfilled, exhausted, and often get sick… Life shows us that this is not our way!

So how is it to live in your FEMININE ENERGY?

     Envision yourself:

     – Each morning, you awaken with a profound sense of self-acceptance and love, exuding confidence and beauty.

     – Your relationships are deep and meaningful, filled with passion, intimacy, and honest communication. You and your loved ones support each other’s personal growth and fulfillment.

     – As you encounter life’s obstacles, you face them with trust and wisdom.

     – Surrounded by a nurturing community of empowered women, you uplift and inspire one another, evolving together on your journey.

     – Your body is a sanctuary, brimming with pleasure and vitality. Embracing your sensuality, you revel in moments of ecstasy and pure bliss.

     – Through self-discovery, you find what brings you most fulfillment, joy, and purpose.

In this retreat you will learn and practice:

     – What is emotional fluidity and why it is vital for women to know how to ride the waves of our emotions

     – How to use breath, movement and sound to awaken high sensuality

     – The power of your heart to alchemize pain into love

     – The importance of being in touch with your creativity and intuition  

     – How to keep your feminine energy overflowing

     – You will also strengthen your belief in yourself

     – You will feel sacred and whole in your feminine energy, over-writing dogmatic beliefs disguised as tradition

     – You will unlock your sacred sexuality for ultimate pleasures and experiences

     – You will turn on your natural magnetism, which allows you to attract everything you dream of

     – You will reset and upgrade your whole system to feel inspired and at ease

Hello from the Retreat Leader:

Greetings, radiant soul!

     I’m Sunny Grigorova, your guide on this deeply transformative journey of the Goddess Awakened retreat. As a seasoned yoga teacher, coach, and dynamic businesswoman, my passion lies in creating spaces where women can:
      – unlock the full potential of their divine feminine,
      – fall deeply in love with themselves,
      – feel inspired to create a life of joy, freedom, and purpose.

     With over 15 years of experience in yoga, women’s studies, and corporate wellness, my international approach is a fusion of Vinyasa, Tantra, Kundalini, dance, psychology, and conscious relating.

     I just came back from 6 weeks in Bali, immersing myself in healing practices and rituals, as well as an intense 3 weeks training with one of the most renowned Tantra masters Ma Ananda Sarita.

     I feel so inspired to offer these unique practices in the Carolinas that I myself have been searching for years and have not found.

     Throughout our retreat, I’ll invite you to delve into the richness of your being, guiding you to shine authentically and unlock the natural flow of every part of your body. I will help you witness and recognize thought patterns that hold you back, and how to move forward in empowered way.

     The Charlotte Women’s Circle, a community I lead, is more than a gathering—it’s an invitation for Goddesses like you to unearth your true selves, forge connections with kindred spirits, and chart a course towards your most joyous and fulfilled life.

     In the circles we get a taste of many experiential practices, including Tantra meditations, healing exercises, dance, massage and rituals.

     And in the retreats we embark on a profound journey of personal transformation. You enter a portal to eternal wisdom of womanhood that will help you activate your unique gifts and integrate sexuality, love, emotions and spirituality.

     With love and light,

     Sunny

____________________

“Spending the weekend barefoot in the mountains at Sunny’s women’s retreat was a major highlight of my year.

My intentions were to connect deeper to my authentic self – to celebrate in my strengths, to water what needs nurturing so it can grow stronger and to see what needs healing through honest love and attention. To connect to the Divine creator, nature and to the the divine feminine within myself and through the beautiful women in the group. It was also to grow in a deeper bond with my sisters – both new friends and friendships already established. To celebrate in our sisterhood.

The set setting was perfect for us all at Mountain Light Sanctuary. The magic was in the air – you could feel that you were on holy ground upon arrival. I could have stayed there for weeks.

The workshops, practices, nature hikes, meals and sharing circles were impactful and deeply meaningful. All of my intentions for the weekend were not only met, but exceeded.

This retreat was a little taste of heaven on earth – it was hard to leave. I’m so grateful to have been able to taste and see how beautiful life is through this time of reflection and play together. Excited for the next one!!!” – Kimmy
