Blood Mysteries
retreat

a sacred pilgrimage to the holy islands of the Goddess

April 19-April 27 2024, Gozo (Malta)

Connecting to & deeply remembering the wisdom of your cyclical body. 

Do you feel rest-deficient, a lack of pleasure in your life and maybe even stuck in your body while living  in this linear patriarchal go-go-go world? 

You may notice this stuck-ness manifest in your menstrual cycle and your body, mainly your pelvic area.

 

Our womb cycles are a vital sign and barometer of our overall health. Most of us submit to a pace that is not in integrity with our inner cycles and then our body starts to give us all the signs.


This retreat is your invitation to slowww down, connect with your womb, cycle, pelvis and reclaim your overall wellness.

The Goddess calls you to the altar of her most ancient womb.

Rest. Remember. Realign.

Most of us do not prioritize our rest and caring for our womb, cycle and pussy. But sometimes it is just time to unwind. To unplug and to connect to your inner resources and to fully commit to rest and restoring the body.

This retreat focuses specifically on that. You are taking care of your body through good food, meditation, enough sleep, and gentle exercise, and taking care of your mind and soul by bringing peace, quiet and slowness to the table.

Every day I will take you through a
slow, gentle morning womb wellness yoga flow - primarily focusing on helping your body to restore your hormonal balance, activating your pelvic potential and awakening your cyclical body. I will share amazing knowledge and wisdom that works. I do not share anything that I do not implement in my own life.

 

These practices can come to full bloom when the environment we're in is fully supportive of our wellness and well-being; the epic luxury location of the retreat offers precisely that.

"I can honestly say that I feel so different in my body since I started paying attention to each phase of my cycle. I have read books on the menstrual cycle but never had I experience such a practical, down-to-earth approach as Iris offers. So grateful I found her!"
