9 - 13 August 2023: Bodhi Khaya Women's Retreat

What if your purpose is just to be who you are? 

Join us for a 4-day Women’s Retreat over the Women’s Day weekend, within the exquisite natural sanctuary of Bodhi Khaya. Guided by Julie Grant and Olivia Moon, this transformational all-women weekend will help you connect with your most authentic self through empowering practices, tools, and teachings, activating you on a mind, body and soul level. 

What if your purpose in life was just to be who you are? Beyond your conditioning, beyond your masks, beyond your ego identity? Aligning with your authentic self is the path to your greatest joy and fulfilment. Yet most of us are operating from a conditioned view of who we ‘should be’, held up by others’ expectations of us. As women, we may play many roles and wear many hats, often disconnecting us with who we are at our essence. Letting go of identifying with these labels allows us to come back to our authentic self, and when we show up as her, we give all those in our lives permission to do the same. It’s time to fully show up in your life as the unique being that you are.

 
Included Activities (Optional):

• Women’s celebration circle
• ‘Safe Space’ workshop with Jules
• Heart-opening conscious breathwork journey with Olivia
• Restorative yoga and sound journey with Jules: connect to your heart and voice

Facilitators:

Julie Grant

Julie Grant facilitates heart-led, integrated practices that help create safety in the body, mind, and spirit. She believes “healing” is a process of creating enough space to remember who we are beneath our conditioned responses and fears. With years of experience and study in the fields of yoga, psychology, kinesiology, and sound healing, she brings a multi-disciplinary approach to the offerings she creates and believes that integration of the seemingly separate parts of us is the path to greater well-being.
