This is a Sacred Passage for Women in Transition

You know that feeling. The ground beneath you has shifted. Perhaps love has ended. Someone you treasured has passed. The life you built no longer fits. You’re suspended in that achingly vulnerable space between who you were and who you’re becoming.

Here’s what most people won’t tell you: this breaking open is your portal.

Loss and heartbreak aren’t just pain to move through; they’re invitations to shed the layers of who you thought you had to be and remember who you truly are. But you don’t have to walk this path alone – this devastating transition can become your most profound initiation into an authentic life.

This deeply personalized, private 1:1 immersion is designed specifically for women navigating heartbreak, loss, divorce or that unnamed void between chapters when everything feels uncertain.

This isn’t about “bouncing back” or “getting over it.” This is about honoring the death of what was, tending to your grieving soul and letting this breaking open become your portal to a more authentic life.

Here, in the nurturing container of House of Healing, we create space for all of it. The tears. The rage. The confusion. The tender shoots of hope trying to break through frozen ground. You don’t have to perform or have it all figured out. You can simply be.

Expect: Shamanic healing ceremonies, daily yoga and meditation, nervous system regulation practices, personal guidance sessions, journaling, time held by the healing landscape of Puglia and co-creating a roadmap for your new life.

Welcome home.

Imagine four days in the serene countryside of Ostuni, Italy, where ancient olive groves meet whitewashed villages and the Adriatic Sea whispers at the edges.

You arrive carrying the weight of what feels broken. Your heart is tender. Your mind is exhausted from trying to figure it all out. But from the moment you step into this sacred space, you can finally exhale.

Morning arrives gently here. You wake in your private sanctuary and begin with meditation and breathwork simple practices to help your nervous system remember it’s safe to feel again. Then morning yoga, moving your body in ways that release what’s been stored in your tissues. The tears might come. Let them.

Your days are held with intention. We’ll journey together through shamanic healing ceremonies, working with ancient practices to clear energetic imprints and restore your vital force. These aren’t abstract concepts: you’ll feel the shifts happening in real time as we release what no longer serves you.

Between sessions, you have spacious time. Walk among the olive trees. Journal by the window. Let the Italian sun warm your bones. This rest isn’t indulgent… it’s an essential part of healing. Your system needs permission to recalibrate.

We’ll work with your story. Through guided reflection and deep inquiry, we’ll explore what’s really asking to be seen. Not to fix or analyze, but to witness and honor. You’ll begin to see your heartbreak not as failure, but as the portal it truly is.

By the final day, something has shifted. You’re creating a roadmap for what comes next, not because you have all the answers, but because you’ve remembered you can trust yourself again. You’re not the same woman who arrived. You’re more you than you’ve been in years.

You leave with practices to support your continued unfolding, integration guidance and a care package to remind you of this homecoming. But most importantly, you leave knowing: you can do this. You are doing this.

This retreat is for you if:

– You’re in the raw, tender aftermath of a significant ending and need held space to fall apart and reassemble
– You feel lost between chapters and crave clarity about who you’re becoming
– You’re ready to honor your grief instead of rushing past it
– You want to transform your pain into wisdom and your wound into your portal
– You need permission to slow down and tend to your soul with sacred attention
– You’re seeking a guide who understands that healing isn’t linear and transformation isn’t comfortable
– You’re ready to come home to yourself, even if you don’t yet know what that means
