WOMB BLOOM
DAY RETREAT
Womb Bloom is a joyful collaboration between dear friends Hinetera and Alice. Both passionate about re-connecting women to their innate birthright—to experience a deep and nourishing connection to their womb and its sacred, power-filled cycle.
Womb Bloom is an intimate and intentionally held day retreat, where we will share from our wealth of knowledge on all things womb nourishment. We will be dropping into our womb spaces to deepen our connections, sharing skills in self-care massage, and introducing herbalism with a focus on specific herbs for the womb and cycle.
Each woman who joins will add to the rich tapestry of knowledge and presence woven throughout the day. Whether this is your first experience with womb connection work or a deepening of the work you’ve already been undertaking, this workshop offering is for you.
Over the last 10 years, we have both journeyed deeply within our own wombs and found that all aspects of our lives have begun to bloom in ways we could never have believed possible. We know from our personal experiences that through building a positive and welcoming relationship with our wombs, we can create great change in our lives. The connection a woman has with her womb has a fundamental impact on every aspect of her life. We desire to share this with fellow women in our communities.
How to connect and listen to our bodies and their unique cycles outside of the patriarchal lens.
How to work with plant allies for support.
How to nourish ourselves through self-love and care practices.
The joy and power of sitting in circle and sharing with women.
That we are directly connected to the ancient wisdom and mysteries of the womb, passed down in an unbroken line of blood from all the wombs that have come before us.
The divine and magical nature of our being.
Through this retreat, we will be Re-membering…
