YONI SHAKTI

Imbolg One-Day Retreat

with Uma Dinsmore-Tuli & Sivani Mata Francis

Welcome to this one-day Yoni Shakti retreat exploring intuitive healing arts for female health, vitality, wellbeing and empowerment; and held in the beautiful Mahavidya Temple nestled in the Heavens Valley, Stroud.

This retreat is a call to reclaim your feminine power.
This is a call to come home to your rested self.
This is a call to restore your rhythmic cycles of wellbeing.
This is a call to come home to your intuition.
This is a call to revitalise your embodied feminine essence.

This is not just a retreat day, this is a rematriation, a multi-dimensional nurturing of embodied wisdom. Re-awaken your intuition and reclaim your vitality. Reconnect to the wellspring of deep intuitive knowing. Welcome wholeness and cyclical wisdom.

In capitalist cultures that overlook and exploit the profound power of feminine energy, it’s time to reconnect and embrace your whole self. Experience how trusting your embodied wisdom can liberate vitality and health for you and those you serve.

Experience the power of Yoni Shakti through experiential practice to embody the wisdom of your deeply intuitive knowing. Experience a programme of intuitive potent intersectional eco-feminist healing arts including primarily (but not exclusively) therapeutic yoga techniques to nourish and restore your energy and joyful connection to life; that is is responsive to the needs of the gathered circle:

Yoga Nidra
known as the yoga of sleep, is a guided practice that facilitates conscious sacred rest. This profound relaxation technique helps you reconnect with your inner guidance and intuition, offering deep mental and emotional restoration.

Yoni Shakti Yoga
involves gentle, rhythmic movements and therapeutic yoga practices designed to nurture the female body. These movements promote ease, strength, and comfort, helping you awaken and harmonise your vital feminine energy.

Ritual of Rematriation
is an honouring of the Earth, ancestors, and the Great Wisdom Goddesses. By integrating rematriation into your practice, you contribute to collective healing and justice, aligning with the cycles of nature and spirituality. As a part of this we include devotions though bhakti song and kirtan.

Cyclical Wisdom
focuses on aligning your practice with the rhythms of your life cycles, including menstruation, menopause, and seasonal changes. This approach fosters harmony with the lunar and seasonal cycles, supporting your overall well-being.

Sangha
is the practice of building a supportive community through circle time. This space allows for sharing, connection, and mutual support, enhancing your sense of belonging and collective healing.

This retreat day falls during the Imbolg (or Imbolc) portal. This is the time of year when the stirrings of life make themselves known after the long and dark winter. This is the moment that we awaken and remember our potential for growth. It is a time of inspiration and creative possibility, and a time that in these lands honours the ancient Goddess Brigid, She of fire and water.
