🌸 A SACRED WOMEN’S RETREAT – BALM YOUR SOUL 🌸

22–25 May | Kura Waka

Sometimes you feel the call to slow down.
To step away from the noise… and return to something deeper within yourself.

Not something you figure out with your mind. But something you remember with your body, your heart, your soul.

This retreat is for every woman who feels that call.
To gather. To soften. To heal. To rise.
No perfect version of yourself needed.

Just you, exactly as you are.

✨ You open your heart through cacao & sound healing
✨ You enter deep purification in the Sacred Sweat Lodge
✨ You reconnect with your voice, your body and your rhythm

Held in nature, in sisterhood, around the Sacred Fire,
this is a space where something real can unfold.

A journey through:

🌸 gentle arrival & heart opening
🔥 powerful ceremony & prayer
🎶 expression, integration & voice
💃 movement, freedom & celebration
🔥 Deeply nourishing for your soul
💧 Grounding for your body
🤍 A remembrance you carry with you

Feeling a yes? Or even a quiet doubt?
That’s often where the doorway is.

📍 May 22 – 25
📍 Limited spots available

Send us a message or reserve your place now.
Give yourself these days — you don’t need to do this alone. ✨

Birth: A New Story · Episode

02/04/2026

Te Kaha is in the plane from Aotearoa (NZ) and words can not express my gratitude...
For the ancient Wisdom he will share
And you...
You can be part ...of this...

🌿 Haputanga — The Māori Way of Birthing 🌿
A sacred wānanga on pregnancy, birth & partnership

Join us for a unique immersive weekend exploring Haputanga, the ancient Māori teachings of pregnancy and birth, guided by respected Māori Elder and Birthkeeper Te Kaha (Ngāi Tūhoe, Aotearoa).

Rooted in traditions practised for thousands of years, Haputanga honours the deep connection between mother, partner (tāne), and baby, restoring the partner’s essential role in the birthing journey.

✨ What You Will Experience

🤍 Deep Connection
Learn how partners move from being sidelined to becoming active guardians of the birthing process — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

🌿 Traditional Māori Practices
• Kōmiri — traditional Māori massage for pregnancy & birth
• Oriori — ancient use of sound, tone & vibration to guide, soothe, and protect baby and mother

🔥 Ancient Birthing Wisdom
Practical teachings on:
• Supporting contractions & pain relief
• Birthing positions
• Strengthening the baby’s wairua (spirit)
• Creating safety, trust & grounded presence

🌺 For Whom
Expecting couples • fathers & partners • doulas • birthworkers • anyone drawn to natural, holistic & indigenous birthing wisdom

🧿 Re-Empowering Partners & Men
Haputanga restores an ancient truth: “We are pregnant.”
In Māori tradition, partners were often the main kai mahi hapū (birthing doula) — present, prepared, and devoted.

“Our role is to support women physically, emotionally, and spiritually, to welcome these children who have chosen us as their guardians.”
— Te Kaha

🔥 Weekend Details
🕯 Start: Friday 20:00
🕔 Arrival from 17:00 (shared meal & gentle settling)
🕯 Finish: Sunday around 16:00

🌱 Included: stay, organic meals & all teachings
🟢 Sunday option: Pounamu Workshop — create your own Pounamu Māpiri for natural umbilical cord cutting

✨ A rare opportunity to reconnect with ancient Māori birthing wisdom.
We look forward to welcoming you into this sacred circle.

Workshop The Melting Body

Zit je lichaam vast? Voel je je gespannen? Heb je last van lichamelijke of mentale pijn of ongemakken? Wil je je lichaam op een positieve manier ervaren? Wil je je hoofd even loslaten?
In The Melting Body workshop leer je je lichaam diep te ontspannen, je hoofd uit te zetten, le bewustzijn te verruimen en je fantasie te prikkelen. Je leert loslaten, vertragen en verzachten en ontdekt een nieuwe, helende vorm van beweging.

Vertraging, verzachting, verbinding, versmelting.
Dit zijn de kernwoorden van de helende methode die danser en choreograaf Anne-May de Lijser ontwikkeld heeft.
The Melting Body methode is een belichaamde beweging meditatie begeleid door muziek. Anne-May neemt je mee op reis naar een staat van diepe ontspanning en bewustzijnsverruiming waarin je je lichaam opnieuw leert kennen.
Met The Melting Body breng je positieve energie terug naar je cellen, je laat je cellen dansen en vibreren, en regenereren.

The Melting Body onderzoek

The Melting Body Method is geboren vanuit een verlangen om een helende dans/beweging techniek te ontwikkelen, een methode die het lichaam letterlijk meer heel maakt. Anne-May kreeg te maken met gezondheid uitdagingen: van een schouder- en knieblessure tot een ernstig voorstadium van baarmoederhalskanker.
Met drie professionele dansers en een muzikant begon Anne-May de Lijser in februari 2020 het onderzoek van The Melting Body. Ze onderzochten hoe ze kunnen vertragen, verzachten en helen op celniveau.
Uit steeds meer onderzoek blijkt dat gezonde cellen de basis vormen van een goede gezondheid. Veel ziektes en klachten vinden hun oorspong in niet goed functionerende cellen.
Anne-May heeft The Melting Body ingezet in haar poging haar lichaam van binnen uit te helen, en met succes: het voorstadium baarmoederhalskanker was na 5 maanden helemaal weg, inclusief het virus wat het veroorzaakte.
Ook heelde zij grotendeels haar knieblessure waardoor zij na het onderzoek weer kon lopen en dansen.
Zaterdag 8 November : 13.30 – 16.30 uur
Zaterdag 15 November en 13 December
