Cara Creek Eco Lodge
I feel deep excitement to share this with you & look forward to seeing you there, it will be another world.
Welcome to a transformational initiatory journey for women
A 10 day deep immersion held in the beautiful wild lands of northern Portugal in a majestic valley, the creek where 2 rivers meet. What a blessing to be held within this wild sacred land.
We will be working with the highly curated shamanic Journey work of Medicine Woman Movement, the heartbeat of this work is returning to our indigenous soul.
The Gateway in is embodied ceremony & ritual. You will be skilfully guided through this body of work to a place where deep alchemy unfolds.

During our time in this sacred land we will travel deep into our inner worlds through embodied ceremony & ritual. Returning to ways in which Medicine Women & Earth keepers work, harnessing & communing in relationship with the Sacred Elements, Animal Spirit allies, our Ancestors & the unseen. Working with & harnessing the power of the 4 directions, we journey with a powerful practice of embodied soul retrieval.
As we awaken our wild nature through movement & dance, we begin to drop into the deep mystery & river of our life & longing. Many days we will work with the beautiful heart opening plant medicine of Cacao.
Woven into our journey will be womb & menstrual cycle wisdom, learning how we can live more in alignment with our inner seasons & cyclical nature, how we can reconnect within to the ancient wisdom of our womb.
We will have time within our days to rest, to be bathed & nourished in the cleansing sweet waters & waterfall, to rest in the Sun on a secluded beach along the river, to cover our bodies in clay & detoxify our skin, star gazing & singing medicine songs around the fire…
So we can experience the most profound medicine of the land, earth, waters, sky & receive the most healing & transformation from our time together within ceremony - Initiation Ground will be a digital free space, so all devices get switched off (of course anyone who needs to phone home or check in with family etc can) just on the whole we are creating a time offline, off social media, offline to the outer world so we can deeply be here.
