FEMALE RAINBOW RETREAT
Authentic Movement – Yoga – Expressive Arts

In a few words
My name is Maria and I am the facilitator of the Authentic Movement SF activities.

I have dedicated my life to uncovering and loving all parts of myself, to healing my relationship to my femininity and my body, and to honoring my identity as a woman.

In the Female Rainbow Retreat I am sharing with you the knowledge, tools, experiences that helped my journey of transformation.
In this retreat, together we create the healing space to facilitate your own transformation.​

The secret is strengthening the connection to your body, to your essence and to your Self as a woman, so that you manifest a life full of well-being, gratitude and love. Our spiritual guides are the inner archetypes of the Greek Goddesses that can reveal intimate truths about ourselves.

As you expand your awareness through Authentic Movement, Yoga, expressive art activities, and connecting with nature, you deepen your trust in your heart and in life. As a result, you become more open to receive all the richness that life has to offer you. Participating in the retreat will help you: embrace all aspects of your female identity heal your relationship with your femininity and your body and deepen the love for yourself as the multifaceted woman that you are.

I look forward to have this transformational experience with you!

Location
Rejuvenate in the Mediterranean
Paros is a Greek island in the Aegean Sea best known for its beaches and Ms. Maria’s traditional pastry.
Combining modern with traditional elements in the most unique way, Paros is a mix of traditional Cycladic architecture, vivid nightlife, magical beaches, enchanting rural villages, and historical monuments.
The Okreblue Seaside Yoga Retreat Center in Paros, was created with love and care, for like-minded people to gather, practice and share yoga and other spiritual and self-exploratory practices.

Coming to Okreblue you really get the essence of arriving to someone’s home.
I personally visited Okreblue last summer to make sure you feel the warmth of true authentic Greek hospitality.

Reground
Every morning we start our day with a sunrise meditation and a yin yoga practice to reground in our essence.
Let the sounds of the Mediterranean sea expand your awareness and connect with your inner center.
After the workshops there is plenty of free time to enjoy the beach, get to know the island of Paros or relax by receiving a massage.

Reveal
Every day we have two 3h workshops , each one dedicated to one of the Greek Goddesses.
We read and reflect upon their myth to get familiar and be inspired by their symbols and images.

Playing with a variety of art materials that include drawing, creating with collage and clay, you deepen your connection to their multifaceted qualities.
We use embodied explorations and Authentic Movement, creating a safe, non-judgemental space where you are free to move and listen to your body’s wisdom.
This way you open yourself to receive the insights and understandings that each archetype reveals for your healing and growth.

Emerge
Our last day is dedicated to revisiting and integrating all moments of our journey together.
There is time to enter the creative flow and become the artists and directors of your lived experience.
You will be delighted by the wisdom, beauty and creativity that is hidden in your soul, ready to guide your life in more plenty and wholehearted ways.
Our sacred circle is the loving holding space that welcomes each one of the women to emerge and share their unique experience.
All together we celebrate our colorful, multifaceted female rainbow.

One-Day Excursion
During the retreat we have a one day excursion to visit the islands of Delos and Mykonos.
Delos was one of the most sacred places of ancient Greece. The archeological site on the island is the remains of a sanctuary to the gods Apollo and Artemis. The on-site museum has one of the finest collections of ancient Greek sculpture.
As the birthplace of Artemis and Apollo, Delos is the ideal place to have an embodied feeling of the Greek Archetypes’ power.
Famous for its minimal Cycladic architecture, Mykonos is full of traditional whitewashed houses and blue domed churches. There you will have the opportunity to have lunch and treat yourself to some local Aegean specialties!
