Women Retreat 2024
When women get together, real magic happens.
There is no chance, nor coincidences.
We walked towards places and people that had always been waiting for us.
With great pleasure and deep devotion, we convoke this VI meeting of women in the Casa del Sol Sanctuary. It has been a long and wonderful adventure to walk until we reached this meeting, which in some way is always the root that brought and sustains us in this life and it is and it will always be the starting point towards continuity.
And so we are feeling it at this time as an umbilical call to direct our gaze and conscious feeling towards that cosmic matrix that houses us in this existence and resides in our deepest and most mysterious interior.
Like the mycelium of the forests, that luminous essence that unites us and ignites us in authentic complicity, we will embark towards the remote waters of our Sacred Feminine for the pure joy of discovering and purifying ourselves, celebrating and recreating the new versions that in our most intimate dreams we long to incarnate for the bliss of this new humanity and all our relationships.
We are brave women, daughters of a magical dream that has endured countless generations and taken this perfect form. We have the tip of the thread of that weave in our hands – which are the wings of our heart – together we are going to honor this divine possibility that is our most sublime gift, from sincere love and the finest care, sharing this space dedicated to encounter of our genuine happiness, which always involves the well-being of everything that surrounds us in the visible and invisible. Always honoring first and foremost the lives of those who came before us, the primordial forces of nature that nurture our existence and the seed of wisdom that is our spiritual essence so that it may prosper to its highest fulfillment.
We give thanks for life, thanks to all my sisters who are supporting this dream with their magical knowledge and luminous presence. Trusting and thanking the divine Mother who is the one who is manifesting this gift from the abundance of her pure Love.
PROGRAM
We have designed a journey together focused on the work that we will do with our matrices from different dimensions, for 4 consecutive nights (from 6 pm to midnight) culminating the fourth night of this prayer taking medicine from the Jungle.
We will prepare and get up with the medicine of the grandfather cactus of the Vilcabamba Valley, connecting with nature through walks and offerings, in an open space to celebrate Life with song, dance, art and much joy. Embracing everything that arises in the wise and wild sisterhood of the tribe.

THROUGH THE THRESHOLD
I. Cleansing of the Womb: Releasing Sexual Memories
When we look to the waters of our Earth Mother, we recognize that her waters are not separate from our own. Just as it is important for the waters of the Earth to be in constant motion to remain in a high vibration free of contamination, the same is true for our feminine waters that we carry in our womb. In the first treatment the facilitators will guide us through a process of being in communion with our womb space and building an intimate relationship with her. We will bring to our conscious awareness the energies we are carrying in our sacred portal of intimate partners who have had access to our sacred waters both consensual and non-consensual and with the help of the ancestral medicines we will move and clean our feminine waters to make space and call in all that is in alignment with our highest vibration.
II. Rescue from the Past: Linking with our Ancestors
Our connection and relationship to our guides that live in the medicinal plants is unique to each individual. In this initiation of the womb we will be exploring the mind, heart, and spirit connection. We will build on our relationship with our womb to listen to what she is telling us. Through this process we will connect with the spirit of many medicinal plants and allow our highest vibrational being to guide us into communing with the medicine that our womb is calling out for. With open hearts we will allow our wombs to dance in the vapors of our individual vaginal steam baths with the aid of the medicinal plants.
The womb is a mystic portal that holds the ancient wisdom and knowledge of light codes from our ancestors that came before us and that will come through us. As a collective, we hold the codes of the feminine creation energy and infinite ability to manifest into this realm. Now is a potent time in the world for this work and there is a deep necessity for the feminine to come together in sisterhood to unlock this potential. With the magic of this prayer, we will take a deep look into the stories we carry in our own feminine waters through intimacy, partnerships and our ancestral lineages.
We will cleanse, we will consciously release, and we will rise like the phoenix to move toward our collective awakening. This work ripples through us to heal our families, our lineages past and future, and across dimensions so that we may move as one in the energy of love for humanity.
III. Quantum Integration: Rebirth
We will close our journey of the womb with an integration of the mind, heart, spirit connection. With the loving support of Grandmother Ayahuasca and the vapors of the medicinal plants we will open all of the channels and quantum leap through dimensions to integrate the teachings of our womb into our current manifestation. It is a night to gestate ourselves again in the crystalline uterine waters and to dream back that being that we are from the clarity of love. Before the sun kisses the night sky with the light of day we will enter into the ceremonial womb of the temazcal to then give birth to the highest potential of our sentient being.
