MOON LODGE RETREATS
“Woman is the embodiment of Gaia, the living earth, her womb a sacred altar of creation and renewal."
— Indigenous Wisdom —
MOON LODGE RETREATS
A sacred space of sisterhood - where every woman is celebrated and honoured to flourish. Here, she expands in love, embraces the healing of her divine feminine energy - the wellspring of creation and the sacred bridge through which the universe is born.
Inspired by the sacred traditions of the Moon Lodge, our retreats provide a sanctuary for intentional reflection - a serene space where participants can step away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and embark on a profound healing journey to explore the sacredness of femininity. We invite women to delve into their depths, connecting their healing with the healing of the cosmic womb, understanding that healing the womb of woman is tantamount to healing the earth itself.
Through ceremonial rituals that honour feminine energy, guided teachings, night time ceremonies with ancestral remedies, feminine cleansing rituals and, communal gatherings, our retreats cultivate a nurturing environment for reconnecting with inner wisdom and fostering transformative connections with femininity, creativity, Mother Earth, and our sisters.
While specific practices and teachings associated with the Moon Lodge may vary among different tribes and communities, there are common pillars that unite these sacred traditions: Rituals and Ceremonies, Education and Guidance, Healing and Support, Cleansing and Renewal, Community Connection, and Cultural Continuity.
"The womb of woman is the gateway to the cosmos, a sacred vessel through which life emerges and returns to the stars”.
— Indigenous Saying —

Our Next Women Retreat with Psilocybin and Therapy
April, 24th to the 27th, 2025
Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in various species of mushrooms, commonly known as magic mushrooms. When ingested, psilocybin is converted in the body, leading to altered states of consciousness characterised by profound sensory experiences, visual hallucinations, and changes in perception of time and space. These experiences can vary widely from person to person and are often accompanied by feelings of euphoria, introspection, and spiritual insight. Research suggests that psilocybin has therapeutic potential for the treatment of mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD, with ongoing studies exploring its effects on brain function and psychological well-being.
Our retreats will include daily integrative psychotherapy session blending sound therapy, movement dynamics and dialogue. The inner process during the retreat will encourage self-discovery, the exploration of one’s core beliefs, values, and releasing limiting beliefs that no longer serve our growth as women. It is an opportunity for profound spiritual healing and growth by reconciling conflicting beliefs, finding a deeper understanding of one's purpose and place in the world, and embracing a more holistic and integrated perspective.

Exploring deeper layers
-
The rise of psilocybin mushrooms as a therapeutic tool is gaining momentum, supported by a growing body of scientific evidence.
Research indicates their potential to alleviate symptoms of various mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
Studies have shown that psilocybin, the psychoactive compound in these mushrooms, can induce profound mystical experiences and promote neuroplasticity, leading to lasting psychological benefits.
Furthermore, neuroimaging studies have revealed alterations in brain connectivity patterns following psilocybin administration, suggesting a potential mechanism for its therapeutic effects. As regulatory barriers gradually ease, ongoing clinical trials are exploring psilocybin-assisted therapy's efficacy and safety, offering promising avenues for addressing mental health challenges.
-
Psilocybin, the psychoactive compound found in certain mushrooms, is currently being investigated for its therapeutic potential in treating various mental health conditions. Clinical trials have shown promising results in using psilocybin-assisted therapy for depression, anxiety, and PTSD. For example, a study published in JAMA Psychiatry (Carhart-Harris et al., 2016) demonstrated significant and sustained reductions in depression and anxiety symptoms in patients receiving psilocybin therapy. Another study published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology (Griffiths et al., 2016) reported that a single dose of psilocybin produced rapid and enduring anti-anxiety and anti-depressant effects in cancer patients with significant psychological distress. These findings suggest that psilocybin-assisted therapy holds potential as a novel and effective treatment approach for mental health disorders.

The integrative process that follows the taking of any consciousness expanding-medicine is akin to assembling the pieces of a puzzle, bridging our individual experiences with the broader canvas of existence. This transformative process demands time, patience, dedication, keen self-observation, and ample self-care.
To ground these profound insights, it is essential to translate them into tangible actions and daily practices. By creating distance from our emotional processes, adopting the role of a sincere observer of inner states, their functioning, and all mental reflections, we can progressively transmute these inner shifts into an "effective reality".
Master or power plants help bring forth challenging feelings or emotions and latent unconscious material, open ourselves up so for us to begin own personal surgery after the retreat.
Sharing your experience with fellow participants, express our feeling and knowing that support is just a call away is invaluable. We offer three 30-60 minutes video calls after the retreat, scheduled at your convenience. Our commitment to your well-being extends beyond these calls; always feel free to get in touch.
