The Nest - Women’s retreat
April 9 to 13
Casa Prema,
Monte dos Maldonados, Portugal.
With Dina & Gesine
Calling in all the sisters that do not make rest a priority.
Sister,
We, Gesine & Dina, are delighted to invite you to join the Nest, a retreat for women longing for rest, self care & creative expression.
From April 9 to 13, we meet in a magical and silent space in the Alentejo region in Portugal.
There is something truly magical when women gather. Together we remember the powerful medicine of softening and the simple fact of being together helps us regulate our nervous systems and awaken the creative potential we carry within.
This is an invitation to lean into one of the many facets of the feminine from which modern society and the rhythm of Life have disconnected us. The Yin aspect of the feminine, the one that knows that moving slow, prioritising rest, devoting intentional moments for silence & creativity is essential for our wellbeing and to nourish our vital force.
In the silence we can truly listen, come back to what truly matters and give space to our creative force.
Rest. Create. Contemplate.
We are bringing together practices we have been exploring and sharing for many years and that helped us connect deeply with our Feminine.
We are honored to share with you the fruit of our experiences through the following practices:
🌹 Hridaya teachings & meditation
🌹 Yoga: Yin, Nidra & Womb
🌹 Womb wisdom & care
🌹 Gentle breathwork
🌹 Nervous system regulation toolkit
🌹 Sound Journey
🌹 Rituals
🌹 Daily singing
🌹 Clay day & womb oil creation
🌹 Silence & rest
This is for you sister if
🌹 you feel like time is passing fast
🌹 depleted
🌹 delaying resting and making space for simply being is a pattern you can recognize within you
🌹 you long for silence & time for contemplation
🌹 you are ready to tend to your womb and attune to this overlooked facet of the feminine
🌹 you want to dedicate time to create and sing
Who are we ?
We envision slow and spacious mornings, delicious & nourishing meals, practices to nourish our hearts & wombs, sisterhood time in joy & creativity, walks in nature, deep reset.
Let's slow down together and weave this beautiful nest where we can rest.
Gesine
I am seeing myself as a continuous student of life. I am learning from mother nature, the stillness inside, and the many great teachers who bless my life.
Since 10 years I dedicate my life to spirituality. During that time my search has taken many forms. After a period of renunciation and many long meditation retreats, a longing surfaced to integrate and share the Grace that has touched my heart. Tantra, Hridaya, Astrology, Taoism, Shamanism, and the teachings of the Womb guided me in that process. I came to understand that the spiritual path is a dance of dissolving and becoming. A constant death and rebirth.
Since 2015 I am part of the teaching team at Hridaya Yoga. Sharing the path of the spiritual Heart. Since 2018 I offer astrological consultations. In 2019 through a period of shamanic training in Peru, I was drawn back into the Womb. She guided me to birth the offering of the Heart-Womb as an honoring of the Divine Feminine.
Dina.
I have dedicated my work in service of other beings since 2019.
I am always learning and I keep growing sharing with respect and generosity what truly touches me. I find meaning in traditions & practices - yoga, non dualistic teaching, ancestral ways and ancient wisdom, therapeutic modalities - that serve humans, beauty and Life.
I find inspiration in my relationships and in the wonders of Nature. Guided by my womb-heart, the Elements, silence & devotion.
My work keeps evolving as I grow. My own journey took me on the path of the womb & the voice as a self healing super power for liberation and creation. And I am honoured to share this work with other women.
I hold presence for you to develop intimacy with yourself and walk with peace, truth & freedom.
Embracing the full expression of what it means to be human.
I am here to remind you of your power and beauty, to support you to align your inner reality with your actions & choices.
The essence of the work the work I offer is to move towards self acceptance, healthy confidence and freedom of expression.
Supporting women to walk free of shame & relate in peace. Attuned to their wombs, awake in their hearts & free in their voices.
The individual work I open is deeply rooted in a collective intention.
