Women’s Tantric Shamanic Transformation Immersion Retreat

10-14 June 2027 - France

A journey into the wild feminine through breath, body, and spirit. This tantric shamanic women’s retreat weaves together powerful pranayama and transformational breathwork, deep emotional processing, sacred ritual, sauna healing, cold lake immersion, and ecstatic movement. Beneath the stars and pulsing through silent disco sacred dance journeys, we gather to release, awaken, and reconnect with the untamed wisdom within. A cauldron of sisterhood, fire, stillness, and rebirth.

The Clay Sisterhood

The Retreat Space Holders

Our relationship is a deeply grounded feminine bond shaped through shared transformation, honesty, and sacred witnessing. Like clay pressed, softened, and reshaped by water and fire, our own relationship invites women to hold one another through vulnerability, growth, grief, creation, and rebirth. It is not based on perfection, but on raw authenticity, mutual nourishment, and the understanding that we are continually being moulded by life, spirit, and sisterhood together.

Our retreat is what we call “the work work” it is powerful and cracks you open to reveal what needs to be shed so you can grow. Expect the unexpected make sure you book a couple of extra days for when you get back if you can to rest and continue the processing for optimum results.

Sarah

Tantric Shamanic Energy Body and Light Worker - Retreat Leader - Community Elder.

With over 30 years of experience exploring and teaching the wisdom of the sacred energy body, Sarah weaves together pranayama, breathwork, somatic movement, tantric philosophy, and shamanic practices to guide profound inner transformation. Her nurturing approach helps participants soften old protective patterns, meet the shadow with compassion, and release what no longer serves. In the space that follows, a new story can emerge, one rooted in presence, vitality, and the deep intelligence of the heart.

Eiben

Herbal Intuitive, anthropologist, and artist devoted to the healing and empowerment of women through holistic and earth-rooted practices

Her work weaves together plant wisdom, ritual, creativity, and deep listening to support women’s mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. Drawing from both ancestral traditions and lived experience, she creates nurturing spaces for remembrance, restoration, and reconnection to the body, the feminine, and the rhythms of nature.

Late morning processing “work work”

Harriet

Women’s breathwork and menstruality coach and founder of inexhale breathwork.

Combining ancient pranayama practices, modern breathing science, and menstrual cycle awareness, she helps women reconnect with their breath, body, and cycle. Drawing on the Red School’s inner seasons framework, her work supports women in navigating each phase of their cycle with greater understanding, self-compassion, and ease. With a warm, nurturing approach, Harriette helps women reduce anxiety, improve sleep, boost energy, and rediscover their cycle as a source of wisdom, creating spaces where science and soul meet and women can return home to themselves.

“Wonderful women’s retreat. It was a real soul journey for me, helping me to re-connect with the spirit of my happy free child within. It’s been a tough couple of years and you created a loving, safe, supportive space to do ‘the work’ and open the door to transformation and new beginnings. Sincere thanks to you Sarah, Eiben, and Harriette, the whole retreat was filled with your love, integrity, passion and joy.”

“The Everywoman Immersive retreat was truly transformational. Sarah is a wise and embodied soul. You can feel the depth of her practice. There was flexibility to allow us to each find our way. Eiben, Harriette and Inga held the space with such care, offering support and helping us process whatever arose.

The Old Mill provided the perfect home. A small stream with resident otter, a sauna, lake swimming, Tandem rides and nature walks. The community of women held each other with acceptance and compassion. You could be there just as you were.

It was a time to reflect, laugh and cry. The evenings were magical around the fire and dancing under the moon. It was a powerful reminder of the healing that can happen when we reconnect with ourselves, each other and the natural world.”
