The Embodied Retreat
( Going Deeper )
The Art of Mourning should be taught early in life, so we would not have to
effort to keep things under control.
Our bodies would be healthier, our minds would be free from attachment to the past, our energy would be focused on co-creation and
play instead of protecting and herding,
our emotions would flow like water unencumbered.
Rooted in the intention to cherish Life, honor Death, and educate the children well,
Yemaya's retreats, workshops and trainings restore the Earth Ways
- the Ways of the Great Mother.
They awaken emotional intelligence, invite deep exhales, and are always infused with laughter, love, and Wild Grace breakthroughs.
It is a sacred opportunity to be in the presence of others devoted to their freedom,
heart healing, and the Embodied Experience of Wholeness, and Curiosity ( as opened to Higher Guidance ).
Within our Circle, inclusion, intergenerational inspiration, and respect are honored, and fierce compassion is shared as a guiding force.
You will not only gain powerful new tools but also experience
an organic homecoming to the essence of who you truly are.
Anything you are meant to create from that place will resonate and nourish you and those you love at this important time on Mother Earth.
Healing and expressing through the waves
You will learn how to listen, ask, and respond to others - and yourself - moving through healing from loss and its many faces, and befriend the Art of Mourning.
Together, with the power of Movement and Ritual, we will transform suffering into profound presence, resistance and numbness into connection and Wild Grace.
You will also learn the foundation of the Emotion Codes and an overview of The Emotional Anatomy.
Healing and expressing through the body
You will have the chance to practice level 1 of Bones of Freedom Somatic Trauma Healing Bodywork, which has the power to unlock deep-seated patterns of Body and Mind, and unwind the old emotions out of the nervous system and muscle contractions.
We will create Art from that place of unwinding.
Which ever is your mode of expression, you will have the chance to dive into your unique artistry, and honor your inner artist.
You also will have fun, dance, play in the water, snorkel, swim, eat delicious food, learn Hawaiian Prayers ( Pule ), rest in the jungle and awaken to a luminous ocean view and incomparable sunsets.
Healing and Expressing through bright mind
You will have the chance to deepen your understanding of the Grief Journey and the need for Embodied Alchemy with Yemaya’s long expertise in grief, trauma work and the Expressive Arts:
- The Grief maps help us find our way out of the labyrinth of endless sorrow, and the overwhelm of The Grief Bundle.
- The Grief Clans help us connect the dots between old grief and fresh grief.
-The Alchemist Voice seals the transformation with writing, dancing, singing, and visual art sharing.

Healing and Expressing through clear energy
You will participate in a Dagara Tribe African inspired Grief Ritual and experience the power of community grieving together.
This powerful ritual helps us clear our field from stagnant emotions we have stored away to function until there is a time for us to feel held in a strong, nurturing, and safe space to deepen into our own freedom and expression as a fully integrated humans.
The Power of our Voices and Bodies moving in Freedom together makes it the anchoring experience gateway you will always remember as your next level of Embodiment.
