Quarter Life: Unbecoming
The First Descent
This is an invitation to let go of who you have had to be. Discover who you are beneath the conditioned personality. A journey of unbecoming. An initiation into womanhood.
Since 2016, this retreat has offered women in their 20s and 30s a space to explore the deeper questions of their inner landscape and reconnect with the Self that lies beneath the conditioning and imprinting. It serves as a modern rite of passage for those navigating the period often described as a “quarter-life crisis.”
Many women arrive carrying anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, or a diffuse sense of inner disquiet—responses that reflect a culture increasingly disconnected from creativity, embodiment, and spiritual principles. Conventional narratives of success often overlook a woman’s inner development and can reduce her struggles to labels or quick fixes that bypass the deeper truth of what is unfolding within.
This retreat reframes the ‘crisis’ as a catalyst for your greatest awakening.
Beneath the layers of pain, many discover an emergent expression of the soul seeking acknowledgement, integration, and alignment.

This seven day process works to support your healing and integration in order to come into conversation with your internal landscape, particularly the aspects still largely occupied by the archetypal maiden, or inner child, who is thirsty for spiritual nourishment and yearning to step into authentic womanhood and her deep Self.
During our time together we undertake a journey of unlearning and undoing the societal and familial programs and blueprints that unconsciously drive our thoughts, habits and belief systems. We take inventory on our past traumas, moving from unconscious states of victimhood into self-responsibility and self-leadership.
Trauma, both individual and systemic, can have debilitating effects on our capacity to step into our whole selves, to feel fully alive and in our bodies, emotionally literate and to move through our days with a sense of creative inspiration and agency, keeping us locked in a state of stagnation, powerlessness, voicelessness, and dissociation.
This process is designed to radically shift you from the stagnant void you find yourself and into embodied aliveness and creative inspiration reigniting that inner fire to get back into the driver’s seat and lead your life with purpose and meaning.
Such transitions require skilled facilitation, community support, and a willingness to meet oneself honestly. Since 2016, hundreds of women have undertaken this journey, each shaping her own transformation. You can read reflections from past participants here.
This journey is an invitation inwards to tap into a state of deep listening in order to retrieve the inner wisdom that has been collectively banished through the generations. A journey that holds unquestionable potency when experienced at the embodied cellular level - a work that is not for the faint of heart.
In today’s world it is a brave and revolutionary act to tend to the language of the soul.
Welcome. We can’t wait to journey with you.

Your Transformational Experience
This retreat is more than just a getaway—it’s an opportunity to undergo real, lasting change. Over seven days, you will immerse yourself in a dynamic blend of:
Trauma Workshops
Somatic (body-based) Movement Practices
Shadow Work Processes
Expressive and Creative Therapies
Meditation and Silence
Digital Detox
Trauma Workshops
In the safety of the retreat container we will explore core wounding patterning that occupies space in the emotional body and gently yet skillfully work to release and move beyond our suffering.
Somatic (body-based) Movement Practices
Release trauma stored in the body through a variety of somatic practices that are a core component to our programs.
Shadow Work Processes
Real transformation requires taking a look inwards at our unconscious shadow projections. Using psychodynamic tools we self enquire and bring to the surface those aspects we have denied and step into greater self-responsibility.
Expressive and Creative Therapies
Healing can be a creative act and holds the power to shift negative emotions through expression, art and movement in creative and explorative ways. We infuse expressive therapy modalities into our workshops and sessions.
Meditation and Silence
Cultivating an inner stillness and quieting the mind is essential to listening to the voice within. Periods of silence during the process is essential to integrating the work and allowing for lessons to fully digest.
Healing and Rest
Key to any healing process is the space for real rest and integration – we have a strictly no phone policy to ensure you are fully detached from the external noise of everyday life and tending to deep nourishments of self.
