Matrix Day Retreat

  • Nectar Yoga 720 Gardner Lane Bowen Island, BC, V0N 1G2 Canada (map)

- This offering is fully booked -

We are pleased to host this day retreat led by Harmony and Karelle, in which a sacred space will be held for all women (or those who have a uterus or have had a uterus) to repatriate this life force that has been suppressed for too long. 

The extraordinary ability and strength that emanates from the womb of the feminine is the point where all life unfolds from a single source. But first, we must remember the source. Let’s reclaim the infinite number of possibilities that reside within our matrix and embody this plural woman with innate gifts that only ask to be exploited. 

Supported by the wonderful medicine of Cacao we will open a profound dialogue with our sacred wisdom that resides in our bodies.  We will journey through the energy of the feminine, dance with the Shakti, nourish ourselves with a vegan stew and dive deeply into the yin space ending with a sound bath. 

The womb space is the most fascinating and miraculous gift of humanity.  Let's praise it together.

The Meditation

Upon arrival Harmony and Karelle will guide the group through a gentle meditation to connect and land with the earth, the elements, and the energy of the space. Together we will build an altar to hold sacred space for our time together. 

Cocoa ceremony will follow meditation.

ABOUT THE HOSTS

Karelle Falardeax

Her practice has been well established for over 15 years. 

Karelle's vision of practice and yoga is one of perpetual movement. Her vision evolves and modulates through her. Fascinated by humans and the richness of connections, her teaching and practice is a way for her to get in touch with humanity. 

 She likes to think that exchange is a precious sharing and that one is enriched by remaining curious to the  life movement it’s self and how it’s inner dialogue through body, mind and spirit. Karelle is fascinated by fluidity, therapeutic movement, prana, energy, life, experience in all its forms conveyed as a dance through the body. In love with the art of creation in all forms and always in search of a deep authenticity, she approaches the idea that we must go back inside and reclaim our full potential to dive into the total immersion of our gift.
