The Descent into Embodied Feminine Wisdom
with Georgina Peard
& Marija Kocijasevic
26 - 30 October 2022
near Neuchâtel, Switzerland
A gently powerful
4-day retreat...
for heart- and soul-centred women
deepening into the gifts of their embodied love.
Georgina and Marija join together once again to make available their innate gifts, extensive professional training and experience, the magic of authentic and radically honest sisterhood, and above all, big love, to offer you a truly profound experience.
Ready to explore your wild loving nature?
Are you a woman who feels
the ache of longing deep inside you to contribute to a world based on connection, love and respect, attuned with the rhythms of (your) Nature?
Are you a woman who knows
that the answers lie deeper inside, and that peace is found by embracing and leaning in to the full palette of feelings, emotions and experiences?
The descent into the body...
is a courageous and intimate path to meet yourself in and as the deep current of life, and to belong to your wholeness.
This is your invitation
4 days and nights dedicated to You,
in a sweet place, close to nature,
with an intimate group,
to explore a journey of love through your body,
to self-care and listen deeply (with radical honesty),
to rest, release, activate, and expand,
to become vibrantly alive and actively engaged
in this sacred Life.
What does your heart say ?
How does your womb respond ?
Through a combination of Somatic, Yogic, Tantric, Shamanic, and Circling approaches, you'll be exploring how to:
- connect more intimately with your body, nature, and others,
- release attachment to old wounds, identities and limiting beliefs,
- nurture inner safety, trust, confidence and sisterhood,
- reactivate life-force, inner fire and vitality,
- express your vulnerable and authentic self, your light and dark,
- navigate change and transformation,
- rest into uncertainty and mystery,
- listen to your heart-womb wisdom, and
- share your love, truth and the gift of your presence.
Autumn Harvest & Samhain
The programme is created to accompany you on a deepening journey of self-awareness, acceptance, love and freedom, as you navigate the energy, rhythms, cycles and unknown of life. We shift attention from the outer world to explore the wonderfully dynamic landscape of your inner world. We descend from the mind to the vital energy of the body.
Autumn reflects the wisdom you've gathered during the year, the harvest of your inner and outer work, and the gifts that came (even those in uncomfortable or unexpected forms).
This retreat offers a sacred space to pause and take stock, to give thanks for the blessings recevied and celebrate your harvest.
Samhain is a fire ceremony, a portal to ancestral wisdom, leading us into the season of the dark goddess and the Crone (old wise woman).
The intention for this retreat is to tune into your inner resources, connecting to your heart-womb-earth wisdom, and to feel the natural impulse of aliveness that moves you. It is to cultivate trust in this inner guide, as well as your capacity to navigate life.
Embodied feminine wisdom is critical for the re-birthing of our world. Every woman is a doula for this process. By dropping deeper into your body you will become familiar with this language of the feminine, and explore your unique ways to express and dance in her current of wild love.

(Winter / Imbolc edition, February 2022)
We’ll be working with the body's intelligence, with personal and transpersonal energies, to release outdated patterns and beliefs, engage your creative life-force, and rise rooted in self leadership and love.
Is this for you?
- You’re on a path of personal awareness or spiritual awakening, now looking to deepen in your heart, womb and body, and anchor this in your everyday way of living.
- You feel called to relate more intimately with yourself and others.
- You’ve experienced life events, losses, role and/or body changes that are calling for integration or transformation.
- You’re deeply touched by life, others and by the situation in the world and you want sacred space for you to care for your heart and soul.
- You want to cultivate greater resilience, ease, meaning and direction from your experiences and gifts.
- You want to experience your full aliveness, feel confident, grounded and aligned with your inner knowing.
- You want to feel empowered with approaches, tools, practices and ways of relating, to help navigate life with more self-leadership.
- You want to open to more love and compassion and be an example of this.
The Power of women gathering in sisterhood is immeasurable. Together each woman reclaims her own natural Queendom.
Your simple presence matters!
This is an intimate small group experience for up to 8 heart- and soul-centred women, already on a path of self awareness and growth. You’ll be journeying deep together - supporting, reflecting, challenging and celebrating each other; each from her own Queendom and through her unique expression of life.
LET LIFE MOVE YOU
Explore a more expanded experience of who you are, why you are here and how you relate to the world.
What will we do?
The Programme
Our days include exploring a variety of descent meditation and embodiment experiences, working with yin and yang, dark and light, heart and womb, earth and sky energies; activating, moving and expanding the emotional-energetic bodies. We'll have different shamanic rituals each day to honour and journey with Nature, the elements and our life-force. And Circle (Forum, Heart iQ etc.) will support our awareness, deep healing and integration, and expansion.
We have 3 group sessions per day, 2 meals and ample breaks.
The language of the feminine ...
is non-verbal and non-linear. She is subtle, sensual, lyrical, playful, chaotic, erotic, ecstatic.... It’s through the body that we’ll journey, creating space and exploring how it is to listen to a deeper intelligence. We’ll be sharing some theory and concepts with you, as well as myths to support the deeper journeying. Sharing our personal queries, feelings, needs and revelations will be of huge support for each other. As will Nature.
Unlearn to remember
Come prepared to unwind, release, come undone, unlearn, transform, crack open, reveal, remember, and rebirth. Let yourself be confused, vulnerable, surprised, powerful, wild. Come to rest, dance, cry, sing, move, vibrate in love, and remember who you are on a deeper soul level and on a human embodied level.

Listen to Cynthia's experience
What other women say
I know for me to feel safe in any women's circle there has to be emotional intelligence and trauma informed sensitivity - both utterly key to my healing.
The way you Georgina and Marija graciously and honestly held and created safe space for us to move and be so vulnerable really solidified my trust in this work ~ in the dark feminine magic!
Watching you navigate our group while still holding true nurturing space for us and asserting yourself with love is something I feel honored to have been a part of.
The examples of leadership you've showed I found loving, supportive and authentic that give me the freedom and safety to express my true self just the way I was even if I staggered into the space heavy and blind with self judgment.
