🌹 APHRODITE RISES: A Self-Love Immersion Retreat
A 4-hour healing sanctuary for women ready to soften, reclaim their radiance, and return to themselves.
✨ Welcome, Beautiful One…
When was the last time you truly slowed down, listened to your body, and chose yourself?
So many women spend their lives caring for others—partners, children, clients, community—while quietly abandoning their own needs. Your body holds the stories, the exhaustion, the longing… waiting for a moment like this.
This retreat is your invitation to soften. To breathe. To open.
To remember who you are beneath the roles, the noise, and the expectations.
Aphrodite is not just a myth. She is a frequency. And that frequency lives inside you.
This retreat helps her rise.
💗 What Is the Aphrodite Self-Love Retreat?
A sacred 4-hour healing experience designed to reconnect you with:
✨ Your body
✨ Your emotional truth
✨ Your sensuality
✨ Your inner glow
✨ Your worth
Through somatic healing, sacred ritual, intuitive creation, and gentle embodiment practices, you will leave feeling lighter, softer, and deeply connected to yourself again.
🌸 What You’ll Experience
✨ Speak Your Truth – Somatic Check-In
Tune into your body, identify what you're holding, and reconnect with your emotional truth.
✨ Energy Exchange Ritual
Receive intuitive reflection from another woman—because sometimes others see what we cannot.
✨ Sacred Circle Healing Card Ritual
Share, release, and empower one another in a heart-centered communal space.
✨ Somatic Vagus Nerve Reset
Gentle movement + breath to calm your system and restore safety inside your body.
✨ Ancient Language Meditation + Sensual Tea Ceremony
Immerse yourself in healing sound vibrations while enjoying rose or jasmine tea.
✨ Intuitive Bracelet-Making
Create your own Aphrodite Self-Love Talisman infused with intention.
✨ Aura Painting Creation
Discover your energetic colors and express them creatively—no art experience needed.
✨ Mirror Ritual
One of the most transformative parts of the retreat: a guided practice in self-recognition and compassion.
✨ Release Ceremony
Let go of the beliefs, habits, and fears that prevent you from putting yourself first.
✨ Cooking With Magic
A sensual ritual of nourishment—infusing intention into simple, sacred food.
✨ Movement Through Song
A joyful, emotional integration through feminine movement and sound.
✨ You’ll Leave With…
✔ A renewed sense of self-worth
✔ A softer, more regulated nervous system
✔ A handmade bracelet talisman
✔ Your personalized aura painting
✔ A deep emotional release
✔ Rituals you can take home
✔ A feeling of radiance and inner beauty
✔ A connection to your feminine essence
✔ A sense of being seen, heard, and held
This retreat is not just an event.
It is a homecoming.
