We call upon the circle of wisdom keepers, guardians of the Goddess’s mysteries here on Earth, to gather for our annual silent retreat in the magical Black Forest in South Germany.
In a safe and sacred container, guided by ancient wisdom streams and mythology, we will dive deeply into silence, ritual and temple practice to surrender to the vastness of our innermost being, the source of peace and rejuvenation, deep connection and inner guidance.
This retreat is for modern-day mystics, leaders, lovers, healers, space holders, artists, mothers and goddess lovers longing to bring healing to ourselves and our world; to bridge spiritual awakening with daily life; to retrieve and embody creativity and leadership that is rooted in the Goddess.
We warmly welcome you, sister, to a retreat dedicated to deep peace, wild freedom and unshakable connection with the Living Goddess.
We cannot fully engage with Goddess wisdom by only reading about it; it is at its core highly experiential and embodied, something that awakens from within us. The fierce challenge and loving invitation in the Lineage of the Living Goddess is to fully incarnate; to infuse spirit into flesh; to inhabit Her body through your body.
This retreat includes: temple practices and Goddess mythology, dharma talks, time for Q&A, nourishing Temple Touch, inquiries and guided journeys, movement, silence, nature, sisterhood and rest.
The retreat is held in English without German translation.
Is this right for me?
The retreat is not for beginners, but for practitioners who are familiar with, and have practiced the Awakening Women embodiment practices in live circles before.
You can join this retreat if you have practiced over time in a Women’s Temple group and/or been practicing with Awakening Women in live events. (If you have only practiced with us online you must participate in an in-person event before coming to this retreat.)
We do not offer psychotherapy. If you are feeling unstable psychologically, are going through a severe crisis and are in need of one-on-one support, this training is probably not right for you.
Practical Information:
The retreat is held in English without German translation.

So many women glowing from within, what power and beauty!
The feeling of coming in … the sparkling glow and the opening of the lower abdomen …
The first time that I “arrived” at a seminar immediately.
As soon as I entered the room for the first time, I knew that there are people here who can hold the room for very deep processes. So I could even indulge in a journey into the underworld quite full of confidence … what an exciting, deeply touching experience! What will change in life, I can not even foresee, but probably a lot.

How fast and without effort my female body can relax!
How relaxing it is to be in the circle and the silence and to listen and feel inside.
If you want to give yourself a present and are looking for a true love relationship, visit a retreat! You will arrive at your place, come home and remember.
The most beautiful gift is, I do not have to do it alone.

The gifts of the hidden and the dark, the depth and the yes to what is there and to bring that to light.
It is a wonderful opportunity to go deep in the women’s circle and to meet yourself and others – so fulfilling.
I am so thankful that I have taken this place in a circle and to know that this place will always be there for me.
