Women's Healing Retreat 2026 at Ferry Beach!
Welcome to Ferry Beach and a transformative healing retreat for women. From time to time we need to return to ourselves and nature in community to nourish, rebalance and release what no longer serves us. This retreat offers us that. Our 4 day retreat offers mediation, yoga, lots of hands on healing (Reiki), energy healing, a healing ritual and plenty of beach time. We will incorporate pure essential oils into some of our healings and there will also be intuitive teachings to explore. There will be plenty of free time in the afternoons to enjoy the beach, take a nap, relax in the rocking chairs or enjoy pop up activities like foot reflexology. This retreat is perfect for individuals looking to relax, renew, reconnect, and rebalance. For practitioners, it is a chance to relax and receive in a atmosphere that nurtures the self. This is the perfect opportunity for women seeking self-care away from the stress of everyday life. You do not need to be trained in Reiki to attend, it's a great introduction to Reiki. What to Expect: -Meditation -Yoga -Reiki -Beach Time -Aromatherapy -Reflexology -AND MORE! Ferry Beach is known as a respite away from the everyday world, a place of serenity surrounded by the beauty of nature. You can look forward to much comfort, relaxation and healing in this special place by the sea. Breathtaking views, exquisite sunrises/sunsets, good coffee and food, a welcoming community of people are just some of the aspects you will experience during your stay. Don't miss the opportunity to destress from everyday life to embark on a self-care journey with us. Make yourself a priority this year! This year our theme is water. Water heals us with acknowledging our feelings and releasing them to live in peace. We will take the opportunity to clear our minds and hearts so we can renew and release what may hold us back. Our ritual will follow Dagara West African traditions as 2021 is a water year in this cosmology. Water represents healing, community, peace, joy and reconciliation. The water ritual is a beautiful way to end our time together on the last day. Water sings to me: it fills my heart and overflows in my tears. As much as it flows and overflows, it never breaks; it just meets its own level. So it is with my heart when I allow surrender. Please join us in this journey back home.
