Awakening the Womb, Aligning with Mother Earth
ÚTERO DA TERRA
10th - 14th JULY 2024 | PORTUGAL
Descend into the body, reawaken your sensuality, and realign with the potent energies of the Earth. Supported by sisterhood, rediscover the sacredness of your womb.
With Jaya Cósmica & Elena from Rising Rooted
This immersion is for you if you are drawn to the call of deep spiritual and physical reconnection:
- Ignite dormant sensual energies and elevate confidence through a deeper connection with your body, enhancing joy and vibrancy in your daily life.
- Embrace and celebrate your sexual identity without fear, shedding deep-seated shame and guilt, to live freely and express your desires openly.
- Embark on a journey of rewilding and womb healing to reconnect with your primal strength, feeling empowered and rooted in your feminine essence.
- Integrate ancient natural and indigenous wisdom to rejuvenate your spirit, align with nature’s rhythms, and foster profound mental, physical, and spiritual wellness.
More than just a retreat, this is an immersion into rediscovering the most vibrant expression of your soul.
If you’re ready to encounter your essence with boundless love, seize this opportunity now.
For the woman who longs to merge with the sensuality that permeates everyday life. She who deeply longs to commune with the sacred within herself and in the natural kinship. She who feels that inner voice growing strong and wishes to create space for her untamable self. She who knows that the ultimate power is not found outside of her, but inside, at the deep core of her womb.
For the woman who longs with every cell of her being to live a life of enchantment, where the sacred is found in the mundane, where everything has meaning, where the Earth is speaking to her heart, showing the way. She who knows that the only way to life a nourishing life is to be guided by the laws of reciprocity, of love, of the divine in the earthly. She who longs to descent into her body to meet her powerful self.
For the woman who knows there’s more to life. And wants to build an intimate relationship with that inner knowing through ancestral knowledge, earth-based practices, and the wisdom of the womb.

Our home and natural temple for the immersion
Serra Vida, Santo António das Areias (PT)
Serra Vida is located in a beautiful valley with the Sever River flowing through 8 hectares of untouched, raw nature in Portugal’s lush Serra de São Mamede National Park. A 2.5h drive inland from Lisbon, close to the Spanish border and the medieval castle town of Marvão.
Nestled on 8 hectares of lush, untouched land, Serra Vida not only boasts spacious unique accommodations but also a natural pool, indoor and outdoor shalas, and secluded spaces for personal reflection and community gatherings.
It’s more than a retreat space; it’s a natural portal to self-discovery and natural living, isolated enough to offer privacy, yet open enough to foster an expansive, communal experience. The perfect sanctuary for us witches!
