WOMEN RETREAT
Encounterland, Placerville, CA
Encounterland is a small meditation and retreat center in Placerville, California founded by Dr. Ira Koltik in 2018. This is a place where women and couples come to get into deeper connection to themselves and each other and where sisterhood gatherings are held.

Here, on 5 acres of magical forest you will find outdoors spa with woodburning sauna and cedar hot tub, delicious vegan menu and cozy accommodation at two houses.

Encounterland guests find much support here for the deep emotional and mental work that our soul and body are asking us now to do.
When we listen deeply we realize how interconnected we are to all of life.

When we align to that - we are in flow.

Divine Feminine teaches us that connection to the source energy is through the Body - moving, sounding, tuning into it.

This is why few times a year I host a full day Women Retreat for a small group of 8 women. So that we can connect. To Her, to ourselves.

This May, I’ve decided to co-create a retreat with my friend focused on reclaiming connection to the sensual self through guided meditation. Dr. Norelyn is a clinical sexologist and sexological bodyworker who brings her experience working with couples and individuals exploring and rediscovering their sensual selves.

We’ve designed a day of reflection and meditation facilitated by a sauna ceremony, forest bathing, a delicious meal, and gentle group practice to help you lean into your sensual essence, deepen your connection with yourself, and embrace the pleasure of being fully present in your body.

4pm: Journaling 🌲✍️ You’ll be invited to explore your inner world with curiosity and awe. These reflective prompts will help you uncover desires, release limiting beliefs, and cultivate a deeper connection with your sensual self. You will be able to wander to a space amongst the manzanita grove, in a loft amongst trees, or a hammock to experience forest bathing – a meditative practice of immersing yourself in nature to awaken your senses and restore inner balance. As you walk slowly among the trees, you'll be invited to breathe deeply, listen to the whispers of the wind, feel the earth beneath your feet, and soak in the healing energy of the forest. This gentle practice soothes the nervous system, calms the mind, and reconnects you with the natural world—inviting a sense of peace, presence, and sensual awakening

5:15pm: Gently return for snacks and calming beverages

5:30pm: Sound bath 🥣 will seal this day of whole-system nourishment, putting nervous system into deep relaxation after which you are bound to feel rested and rejuvenated

Let's change this world one woman at a time, feeling safe and free in our bodies ✊ Whatever change we are wishing for, on micro or macro level, it starts in our body-mind.
