Description

Be Woman Project invites you to their annual Sacred Feminine Retreat at Shambala Gatherings honoring the precious gift of being a woman.

This time Sharada Devi (founder of Be Woman Project) and Jenny Solberg (from Nordic Yoga Light) have put together a nurturing program for women, to get a taste of the Devi Trainings (women’s circle facilitator courses) that are now being offered yearly in Sweden, Ibiza & Bali.

The Devi Training “Women’s Circle Facilitator Course” offers 3 modules, each one of them dedicated to one of the goddesses from the Vedic Tradition. Sarasvati, the goddess of knowledge, Laksmi & Lalita the goddess of abundance & sacred beauty and Durga, the goddess of integrity, also known as the peaceful warrior, healer & mentor.

We wanted to offer this retreat so that women can have a glimpse into the longer trainings that are being held throughout the year as well as for our friends & sisters around the globe to gather in the spirit of the sacred feminine and our bond as sisters.

A time to resolve in timelessness, pampering each other and sharing with each other our stories of joy, of love, of loss, of life. While bathing in the profound teachings of Mother Veda that makes us see, that we are whole and complete as we are. The source of love is not outside of myself, it is myself.

Sharada and Jenny have dedicated their lives to assimilate the teachings and spiritual practices of the Vedic Tradition that gives the devoted seeker, freedom. Happiness and security that has no reason. These two Devis have a special love for Puja; Vedic Rituals, Mantras, Meditation as well as Yoga & Dance. Their commitment to emotional and cognitive growth has helped them to bond deeply as sisters, jewels of insights that they will be sharing during the retreat.

During the 5 days you will get a taste of the vast offerings of these two inspiring and empowering women.

CLASS DESCRIPTION

Devi Classes

Sharada Devi, Founder of Be Woman Project, will teach us about our essential nature, we learn that we are lovable and worthy just as we are. Through stories from the Vedic Mythology we find lots of inspiration and support in life. We learn that the body is a temple; we neutralize complexes and judgments around it. We find a source of help and support through the teachings of Vedanta and the sharing with other women.

Devi Circles

Devi circles are magical, at times scary because here we will share with each other our stories and also reveal ourselves. We will learn how to invoke courage and strength to express out loud what has been untold. For many carry shame, guilt, hurt, judgments and fears.

One of the best ways to overcome them is to share and give voice to them and see that we are not alone. There is a background for it and there was helplessness. We can ask for help, we are worthy of it. We are ready to offer back what does not serve any longer. Based on different themes we will see how we have been conditioned and maybe holding onto wrong ideas and notions. In loving compassionate non-judgmental ways we let them go and unlearn.

Yoga Classes

Our yoga classes, led by Jenny will be deeply nourishing for your body and mind. With the intention to create a loving support through our “be woman” journey. We will explore an intuitive yoga practice where we tune into our sacred body temple and it’s needs, allowing it to express what it wants to express. This type of yoga is specifically created for the female body with the purpose of having a soothing, energizing and tension-relieving effect. A time to just be with yourself and deeply nourish your body, mind and heart. We will flow through soft movements, strengthening movements, staying in stillness, pranayama breathing exercises, empowered by soothing music.

CranioSacral Therapy

Jenny will also be sharing workshops in Stillness touch, a practice inspired by CranioSacral therapy. In this practice we stay present in our heart and from that, we hold space for another person by applying light touch to their body. This is a truly subtle approach that allows the giver to stay in a quiet, meditative state, while the person receiving can dive deep inside and release long hold patterns of stress, tension and pain.
