Join Xochi Balfour and Mischa Varmuza for a nourishing residential deep dive into the Embrace Of The Feminine, September 8-10, in the sacred lands of Avalon. This is an intimate women’s retreat in which we will weave a rich and thoughtful programme of yoga, meditation, earth-based ritual and sacred sisterhood in our exquisite home from home, The Apothecary Garden.
Xochi and Mischa have been practising together for almost a decade and their wise, nourishing space is one of loving support and deep transformation. Combining Mischa’s extensive career as a yoga teacher, tantrika, priestess and coach with Xochi’s work as a women’s healing facilitator and ritualist, the Embrace Of The Feminine retreat is a space of expertly-held embodiment, movement, connection, devotion, prayer, rest and remembrance. Join us as we prepare to move inward with the tides of Autumn, integrating the energy of the summer and re-membering that place within us all where the flame of feminine intuition and wisdom resides.
“Mischa and Xochi have come together in a symbiotic marriage of their individual gifts as space holders to create a strong container for the work of healing the divine feminine. They possess a true authenticity in their offering that is able to lovingly and gently hold, witness and help to offer release that which no longer serves. To be fully seen to process as well as be given the tools to begin to come back together is rare and much needed. It is their genuine energy that bought together such a beautiful group of women and tenderly caressed their needs so that in just a few short days we left with a bond and an experience that is unforgettable” - Laura, The Feminine Prayer retreat participant
“For me, Xochi and Mischa together embody the sacred attributes of a potent and divine feminine lineage. Their rituals awaken our innate feminine power and sustain the healing of our collective and personal wounding. I am grateful to have experienced a blessed gathering of women in the safe space of magical and divine holding that they so masterfully create...” - Kristen, The Feminine Prayer retreat participant
