RECLAIM: A Women’s Transformational Retreat

Rachel and Nikkiema have come together to create a deep, delicious, and playful container — one that is sacred, trauma-aware, and carefully held… and also alive, curious, ecstatic, and a little wild. This is a space for women ready to slow down, reconnect, and come home to their bodies — not just gently, but fully. Across four days and three nights, we gather in a consent-rooted container that honours nervous system safety, personal agency, and deep respect for each woman’s pace and boundaries. We will move between stillness and aliveness. Ritual and laughter. Tenderness and power. Sacredness and play. We have been told by many in our community that they have been craving a space like this — something deeper than surface connection, more embodied than talk alone, more real than performance. Sydney… we’re here to give you a taste. To quench that thirst. To meet that hunger. To create something potent, curious, and unforgettable. What We’ll Explore This transformational women’s retreat weaves together: • Nervous system regulation and relational safety • Embodied awareness and somatic listening • Guided breathwork journeys to access altered states and expanded presence • Ritual and ceremony to mark transition and transformation • Reclaiming pleasure as vitality, aliveness, and intelligence • Exploring sexuality as embodied energy — grounded, consensual, and self-led • Archetypal exploration — the parts of us that have been suppressed, shamed, silenced, or deemed “too much” • Shadow work in community — gently illuminating the layers that prevent us from experiencing the joy, intimacy, and pleasure we desire • Tantric Meditation and altered states • Play, curiosity, and ecstatic expression • Deep rest, integration, and nature immersion Our erotic and emotional shadows are often shaped by culture, family, fear, and expectation. Desires for freedom. For surrender. For power. For softness. For wildness. For being seen in our fullness. Many women carry shame or confusion around these energies — fearing they are “too much” or “not enough.” At RECLAIM, we approach these archetypal energies with reverence, consent, humour, and curiosity. When we bring light to the hidden parts of ourselves, we often discover gateways to love, confidence, pleasure, and deep self-knowledge. All practices are invitational. You are always encouraged to participate in ways that honour your body, your capacity, and your boundaries. Some practices may include optional nudity within clearly facilitated, consent-based spaces. There is never pressure to remove clothing or engage beyond your comfort. No prior experience with retreats, embodiment, breathwork, sexuality spaces, tantra, or ritual spaces is required. Temple Night – Closing Ceremony On our final evening, we gather for a facilitated Temple Night. This is a ceremonial and playful space rooted in consent, reverence, self-expression, and embodied presence. Temple Night invites exploration of connection, sensual embodiment, archetypal play, curiosity, and aliveness — always within clear boundaries and trauma-aware facilitation. It is not performative. It is not obligatory. It is about feeling. About choice. About honouring your yes and your no. Sacred and ecstatic. Grounded and wild. Held and free. The Setting RECLAIM will be held at Yanada Retreat — a lush, expansive sanctuary just outside Sydney. Nature surrounds us. Open skies. Quiet grounds. Space to breathe.
