In the emotion that surfaces without warning. In the longing you can't quite name. In the wisdom that lives beneath the noise of daily life.The Listening Body is an invitation to finally get quiet enough to hear it.Join us at Harbin Hot Springs for a 3-day intimate women's retreat rooted in somatic healing, body intelligence, and the sacred wisdom of water. Through movement, breathwork, voice, sound, ritual, expressive arts, and the healing geothermal pools of Harbin, we will drop out of the mind and into the body's deep knowing.This is not a retreat about fixing, releasing, or optimizing. It is about listening β€” to what your body has been holding, what it's trying to show you, and what becomes possible when you trust its intelligence.🌿 THIS RETREAT IS FOR YOU IF YOU ARE…Ready to slow down and listen to what your body has been trying to tell youCarrying something β€” emotionally, physically, or energetically β€” that you haven't been able to reach through the mind aloneLonging for sacred sisterhood, deep presence, and time away from ordinary lifeDrawn to somatic, embodied healing practicesSeeking rest, ritual, and genuine renewal in natureCurious about the wisdom that lives in the body beneath stress, trauma, and conditioningπŸ’§ RETREAT OFFERINGS INCLUDESacred ceremony, prayer, and intention settingChakra toning and intimate group sound healingLand ceremony and earth offeringLabyrinth walk and waterfall ritualGuided somatic journey into body intelligenceGrounding and energetic boundary-setting practiceExpressive arts and soul craftingSacred journaling and reflectionHot and cold plunge guidancePublic sound healing Sunday afternoonOptional Rites of the Womb transmissionOptional 1:1 somatic integration mini-sessions with VirpalπŸ—“ RETREAT FLOWFriday, September 18th : You are welcome to arrive at Harbin earlier in the day to settle in and soak before we gather.

Her work includes 1:1 Reiki sessions (in-person and remote), Reiki trainings, Women’s Circles, Reiki Sound Healings, Medicine Ceremonies, retreats, and workshops.She integrates the teachings of her ancestors and lineage with modern energy and sound healing modalities, guiding others to connect with their inner voice, awaken ancestral memory, and align with soul purpose. With a heartfelt devotion to community, she is also reconnecting with her harmonium and the sacred devotional practice of Kirtan β€” honoring her roots while bridging across cultures through healing sound.Virpal is passionate about supporting women in reclaiming their truth, reconnecting with their wombs, and shedding the layers of ancestral trauma, internalized stories, and unprocessed grief that often live in the body. She honors the womb and voice as powerful creative centers β€” not only as gateways of life, but as sacred vessels for healing, transformation, and remembrance.Her facilitation is informed by her somatic integration training, and Harbin Hot Springs has been a personal sanctuary for her for years β€” the place she returned to through some of the deepest seasons of her own life. Last year she brought a circle of women there for Return to the Waters, a retreat for grief and reclamation. This September she brings women back for something that goes even deeper.Learn more about her offerings: πŸ’— A Note from Virpal:"I created this retreat because I know what it feels like to be disconnected from your own body β€” to have worked so hard on healing, and yet still sense that something is asking to be heard. Harbin has held me through some of the deepest seasons of my life, and I wanted to create a space where women could experience that same holding β€” and learn to trust the intelligence that lives within them. Whether you're coming solo or with a friend, you will be welcomed into a circle of sacred sisterhood. May the waters hold you. May your body speak. May you finally hear it."πŸŒ€ Questions or intentions to share?Reach out at virpal@risinglotusreiki.com or visit RisingLotusReiki.com - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/middletown/womens-retreat-the-listening-body-somatic-healing-and-body-intelligence/100001996318711004 - **Event Categories**: fitness, trips-adventures, health-wellness, Art, Workshops, bhajan-jamming - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 23 hours - Location: Harbin Hot Springs - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 357.18, max: 475.62, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Middletown - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Harbin Hot Springs - **lat**: 38.7860806 - **long**: -122.6518315 - **full address**: Harbin Hot Springs, 18424 Harbin Springs Road, Middletown, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Women's Retreat: The Listening Body β€” Somatic Healing & Body Intelligence - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/31b428b3f83488a892eb0ae93e9ccedccdbb5c70d27d6f831132acf9acce4f7b-rimg-w1200-h628-dc080808-gmir.jpg?v=1787815883 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Women's Retreat: The Listening Body β€” Somatic Healing & Body Intelligence being held? - **A:** Women's Retreat: The Listening Body β€” Somatic Healing & Body Intelligence takes place on Fri, 18 Sep, 2026 at 04:00 pm to Sun, 20 Sep, 2026 at 03:00 pm at Harbin Hot Springs, 18424 Harbin Springs Road, Middletown, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Women's Retreat: The Listening Body β€” Somatic Healing & Body Intelligence? - **A:** Women's Retreat: The Listening Body β€” Somatic Healing & Body Intelligence is organized by Rising Lotus Reiki - Virpal Sidhu. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
