Goddess Essence Retreat

Rediscover your inner divine feminine and live a life full of love and fulfilment

For the woman who wants to reconnect with her true nature…

Do you feel your feminine energy is undernourished?

Are you yearning to break free from the chains that have held you back?

Do you want to uncover the true timeless essence that resides within you?

Today, more than ever, the world needs…

A woman who is not suppressed.

A woman liberated from outdated ideas and control mechanisms disguised as tradition.

A woman beautifully in touch with her limitless creativity.

A woman who is radiating love to the world.

A woman who is also a Goddess ✨

Join the lovolution…

A Goddess is enshrined in you and in all women. As we awaken to our divine feminine, we become part of an ever-growing movement; birthing a new world based on empathy, love and compassion. The Goddess Essence series offers 4 experiential retreats that take you on a transformation journey into the feminine power centres.

Everything you need is already inside you—this journey simply reveals it.

Part 1

The Goddess Unveiled

In Part 1, we work with the Heart Chakra, bringing transformation to the three stages of love: self-love, loving another and loving the whole.

The heart chakra is the main portal for women to access the fullness of her creative expression and potential.

This part offers a powerful transmission in regards to loving yourself. Once you are anchored in the power of love, you can easily create balanced relationships with others.

Every woman has some sensitivity about her physical appearance. In this retreat, you will rewrite this inner dialogue about your beauty and work on healing any insecurities that are holding you back sub-consciously.

You will awaken your inner and outer Goddess in all of her splendour which will boost your self-esteem and self-worth.

Imagine yourself in the not-too-distant future…

  • You wake up each morning feeling a deep sense of self-acceptance and love. You radiate confidence and beauty from within.
  • You experience deep connections in your relationships, full of passion, intimacy, and open communication. You nurture each other’s growth and fulfillment.
  • You navigate life’s challenges with resilience and grace.  You tap into your inner strength and wisdom, knowing that you are capable of creating the life you desire.
  • Your body is a temple, a vessel of pleasure and vitality. You embrace your sensuality, experiencing profound moments of ecstasy and bliss.
  • You are surrounded by a supportive community of empowered women, uplifting and inspiring each other as you continue to grow and evolve together.
  • Your journey of self-discovery leads you to a place of profound fulfillment, joy, and purpose. You have become the radiant Goddess you were always meant to be.

All this is within your reach. It’s waiting for you. The future is yours to create 💫

Learn Tantra in the most safe & authentic way

I am well aware of the myths surrounding Tantra.

It’s disheartening that the word Tantra is sometimes misunderstood as a space for orgies or polyamory. Some even associate Tantra with black magic or witchcraft.

In reality, Tantra is a profound path of self-discovery. It is a space for emotional healing. It offers multidimensional tools for spiritual growth.

I am dedicated to providing a safe, respectful and authentic environment for your transformative journey.

With Tantra Essence, you can trust that you are in the hands of experienced facilitators. Here, we honour the true essence of Tantra. We serve you by creating a safe space where you can thrive, grow and discover the magic within.

I invite you to look beyond the myths and allow me and my Kaula (team) to guide you towards the real wisdom of Tantra. This is a space where you will rediscover yourself, experience profound connection and have a renewed celebration for life.

— love & blessings —

“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 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

“I had the most amazing weekend last weekend! With the most beautiful, incredibly talented and creative group of goddesses! We stayed in a mystical part of the Pisgah National Forest. I hiked barefoot and slept in a tree house. We meditated, we danced, we swam in the river and ate the most delightful vegan meals. Listened to music by the fire, laughed, cried and I know we all changed for the better. What an amazing tribe of women i have in my life.”
Angelique
