OCEAN ORACLE RETREAT
women’s island immersion, Ibiza
June 14-17 | Starting at £820
with Xochi Balfour + Abby DixonStep into ceremony with the Spirit of the Waters in this intimate four day immersion for women on the magical island of Ibiza. Together in safe, sacred and playful sisterhood, held by the land and the sea, we will journey to reawaken our elemental feminine essence as the ones who carry and tend the waters.
The body is the portal to presence: Xochi and Abby offer decades of combined experience facilitating women’s yoga and embodiment practice, passionate about holding a safe and informed container that allows us to gently awaken the deeper wisdom and intelligence of the vessel we inhabit. We abandon our bodies in so many ways in the culture in which we live - so often, we do so without even realising. Coming home to this moment together, we are here to hold every part of you - Maiden, Mother or Crone - in safety, love and compassion.
❋ Feminine EmbodimentHeld by the gentle heart of the island, immersive meditation practices allow for arrival, softening, spaciousness and greater intimacy with our inner landscape as it is unfolding in the moment. Mantra and song widen and carry us ~ wings to soar with as we reclaim our fragments and remember when we prayed and healed together through song, when the drummers were women and when the medicine was no further than the abundant land we sit upon.
❋ Meditation & SongTending the luminous body and connection to Spirit, shamanic practices and journey work support our awakening and ancestral remembering. The Oracle within each of us is asking to awaken. Exploring our own relationship to the spirit of the ocean, the waters we carry and the guides and ancestors here to support us, we open to new ways of healing and informing our daily lives, both individually and together as sisters.
❋ Shamanic HealingOcean Oracle is a small residential retreat held in a private hilltop home looking directly to the sea and setting sun. With bell tent, yurt or small tipi options, outdoor showers and wild naked time on secluded beaches, this is a rare chance to really shed all the physical, social and emotional layers we carry through daily life and let the elements hold us as we are: nurturing our essential feminine self. With lovingly crafted local food and an intimate and private home-from-home, we offer you a sanctuary where all of you is welcome, all of you is nourished.
