We call upon the circle of wisdom keepers, the guardians of Goddess’s mysteries here on Earth.
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.
The Living Goddess is an intimacy pulsating in the depth of your longing. She is the rotting of leaves in the autumn and the voice that whispers the truth. She is grief and rage, wetness in water, heat in fire. She shakes you when you compromise, and beats your heart faster when you risk. She takes all forms, constantly changing, deeply caring and utterly free.
We cannot fully engage with the Goddess’s 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.
Embedded in your precious body are ancient maps to guide you through your life, a legacy your ancestors left for you in your hair and skin, in the memory of your DNA. A landscape of original instructions written into the hills of bellies, dunes of breasts, and caves of wombs; sutras of the Living Goddess encoded in hieroglyphics of sensation, in subtle tremors, in whispers from the heart of your heart.
When you relax your ideas of higher and lower, and risk the descent from head to roots; when you let yourself feel what you feel, and fully land in your body, you retrieve your knowing and vitality, finally embodying a spirituality that takes you deeper into life rather than away from it.
We warmly welcome you, Sister, to a retreat dedicated to inner peace, your freedom and your original connection with the Living Goddess.
This retreat includes: women’s temple practices and Goddess mythology, dharma talks, time for Q&A, nourishing touch, inquiries and guided journeys, movement, silence, nature, sisterhood and rest.
This retreat is held in English without German translation.
Is this right for me?
- 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.
- The retreat is for you if you are already familiar with Awakening Women and embodiment practices. You have participated in a Women’s Temple group or live event.
- A lot of our practices are embodied, interactive and emotionally expressive. Although there will be silent time and breaks to rest and integrate, the Shakti-based embodiment practices stir and liberate our life force energy which can be intense if you are not used to it.
- 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.
- One of our core practices involves respectful touch. Your boundaries will of course always be respected, but if you feel a strong resistance to touch, this is probably not for you. We practice respectful touch a lot in our circle to bring presence into our bodies and cultivate the capacity to allow more life energy to flow through us.

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

You are safe and carried in a space of love and womanhood, time to heal, time to hear your essence again very loudly within you, pampering and love time for you AND it goes deep and is also challenging. Deep gratitude for the deep surrender of Chameli.

The feminine path in this time is the path of the pioneer – strong, courageous, powerful – and full of surprises. Pure wisdom!
Go there… and experience the consciousness of womanhood.
Stefanie K.
To be honest, I am at a loss for words. I can not really dress my feeling with the experienced in appropriate words. This enormous energy, which I already felt from the beginning, has interwoven with us ALL, networked and nourished us. I felt carried, seen and held in a gentle loving space. EVERYTHING was allowed to BE. I was allowed to experience my innermost being in its wholeness. My passion, my courage, my sadness, my devotion and my tenderness.
I never thought in my life that I would open the portal in the fire ritual. When I only heard the word, “fire ritual” after the meal, I knew I would put on the red long skirt and tie a red scarf in my hair. I felt magically drawn there and called to do this. Deep gratitude fills me.
