Come join us from 3-6 September 2026 (early bird price till July 1st) Held in the beautiful natural surroundings of De Dieken, at the Holterberg, Netherlands, this immersive retreat offers four days of movement, somatic dance, meditation, deep rest, and connection in community. All of us enter this world through the gateway of the female body, carried and birthed by the innate intelligence and life giving force of the womb. For thousands of years the grace and wisdom of the womb centre has been buried and suppressed. Modern culture moves many of us out of right relationship with our physical bodies, with our sensuality and with our sexuality as a sacred, natural and healing force. At this time on the planet we are all called to remember our true nature, to come home to a felt sense of safety & belonging within, with each other and with the earth we live upon. This residential weekend of movement, somatic dance and meditation for women and womb-bodied people is an opportunity for us to gather, move, rest and sit in circle together. Supported by the embodiment practices of Open Floor movement and the restorative wisdom of Womb Presence practices, we will enter the cave with curiosity and listen for what arises. In dance as meditation we meet the intelligence of the life force moving through us and offer it into motion; this opens doorways to our essential self and helps us to awaken and align with what matters most to us. With our feet planted on the earth, breath in the belly and an aligned mind we can make a choice for wholehearted, embodied living where we can express the full force of our creativity and be here now, in all our beauty. ✨ Included: • 3 nights accommodation • delicious nourishing meals • 4 full days of practice • labyrinth ritual • a supportive circle of women & womb-bodied people Led by Carol McInerney from Ireland, in joyful co-creation with and organised by Monika of Embodied Dance “The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.” - Joseph Campbell - Through the embodied practices of Open Floor movement and the restorative wisdom of Womb Presence®, we explore what it means to come back into right relationship with our bodies, our womb, our sensuality, our creativity, and our deepest truth. * Dance becomes meditation. * Movement becomes remembrance. * A pathway back to safety, belonging, and fully embodied living. 💛Carol McInerney is an accredited counsellor, movement therapist, Open Floor teacher, and founder of Womb Presence® practice.
