Package Details

Deep Dive / Swaddling Encounterland Retreat is a 24-hour quest into your soul to self-heal and realign according to what's truly is important to you. This process is built to empower and invoke confidence in your own wisdom and agency.

Here is most common program:

10:30 am - we start with you checking in. You will have the time to explore the forest, cuddle in a hammock, journal and get ready for our work

1:00 pm - nourishing vegan lunch and a signature Encounterland herbal tea

2:00 pm - we continue into a process where you will build your own Mandala of Life. This is deep poetic process that allows you to connect to your truths and feelings, your dreams, desires and pains, gaining deep peace and clarity. This is when we get clear on intentions, connect to powerful creative energy, understand patterns that have been blocking you and perhaps shall stay in the past

4:00 pm - sauna ceremony. This is when our healing journey gets deeper into the body and power of this ancient practice that integrates matter and spirit, harmonizing, releasing toxins (both physical and emotional) from the body.

6:00 pm - massage and rebozo scarfs swaddling OR,

if you choose option without swaddling,
we will have dinner and another session. New insights often arise here and new integrations are available. We will complete this day with a quartz singing bowls sound bath 🥣 and you will be ready to drift into sleep

if you do choose to have swaddling, it will come with massage prior to you being wrapped in rebozo scarfs. There is a lot to say about this ancient medicine that helped both men returning from horrors of war and women after giving birth. You can read more about it below.

Please begin by filling out the registration form at the bottom of this page and scheduling a 30-minute clarity call. This call does not require you to commit to buying any of my services and is completely confidential. Yet, it allows us to gain clarity about your needs and desires, and understand which version of this retreat is best for you right now.

Swaddling

Swaddling ceremony 🌹 is an incredible gift for our feminine psyche and body!! It is a blessing in the world of rushing, living in the head and sensory system overload 🙏

🧿 It starts with cacao we cook together (very easy, unique and delicious) and building Mandala of Life that gives expression to your hopes, dreams and frustrations at the moment. This process gives us an experience of being deeply seen and celebrated, as is. It puts you in touch with your truth and feelings in a very visceral way, unlocking the wisdom and guidance for the desired future

🌊 Then we float into the realm of water 🌊
Here at Encounterland, we have a wooden barrel sauna and a cold plunge filled with the water from rains and well. Soaking heat, having your body be warmed and petted with eucalyptus or rosemary bunches we grow here is absolutely incredible 🥰 it cleanses the physical, mental and emotional bodies, and prepares you for the final step - massage and swaddling

🧖‍♀️ So here you are, drifting out from few hours of feeling deeply heard and taken care of with so much love. Soul and body smile. This is when full body massage takes place. You choose your essential oil, rebozos for swaddling are ready underneath the blanket. After the massage you will be wrapped.

🛌 It is often a big surprise for my clients how soothing being swaddled is. Often people fall asleep 😴 and sometimes stay in for an hour - yes, yes... back in the womb, now with conscious choice of when to come out. The rule is - when you wish to be unwrapped (yes, like a prescious gift 🤗🎀) you just tell me. What do I do when you are in? I sit in meditation and prayer for your dreams to come true, soul and body to feel renewed.

I do not know how long it will take for this ancient practice to be researched, but for centuries medicine women and midwives have used this healing art form for a deep regulation of nervous system and release of traumatic experiences from the body.

I wish every person on the planet to experience swaddling 🙏❤️
