Women's Feedback

Woman Within Weekend

“The weekend helped peel away my layers to step into and honour who I truly was. No more being what other people wanted me to be. It allowed me to step into my vulnerability and feel held and honoured by amazing women.”

“The processes we have been taken through were so gentle and so powerful at the same time. We all felt such trust that the healing happened so naturally.

“One weekend and so many friendships. I came back home and carried on processing for a long time, some part in me has opened up to myself with no shame, blame or judgement.”

"It is a catalyst for my self-development. It has provided a space for me to process my "stuff sufficiently, so that I can move forward to a more fulfilling life- closer to my truth."

"It has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. It will be with me forever. I felt extremely safe."

"It has been one of the most powerful healing experiences I have had."

"Profound, highly valuable, well executed."

"Thanks for the safe space, the guidance and openness giving me the trust to share my fears."

"Very well organised. Compassionate, gentle staff who were all willing to serve. I loved all the rituals."

E-Circles

“It is consistently the only space in my life where I connect with a group of women on all the levels that matter to me. I can be who I am, warts and all (and if I’m not I get reminded and challenged). I can share my innermost turmoil, fantasies, intimacies or even mundane details that need air time. And know that they are heard in confidence and with compassion. I can cry as much as I want to ... even when it may seem nonsensical. I can be hysterical. I can laugh. I can play.”

“For the first time in my life I feel truly heard by a group of women who accept and love me for who I am, who support me, who teach and guide me, who challenge me to dig deeper, and who help me honour my gold and be aware of my shadow. It feels very real. Very tangible. It gives me perspective and lightness and depth. And it feels very right for what women need ... especially this one.”

“It determined my present and future in a big way. I learnt to express from the heart."

“The experience opened me up a lot, used to living inside my head."

“Demystified what I thought about other women."

“Wonderful sense of community and belonging."

“Opened up a whole new world for me, including a new connection with my husband, a whole new world for us to explore together."

“Put me in touch with good feminine aspects of loving, nurturing, giving to be a better mother and wife.”

“What a journey, taking a lot of skills with me, really listening and seeing people.”

“Very powerful to share how we are feeling without being judged.”

“I realise I have the answers but I know I can’t do it alone. Can’t wait for the journey forward.”

Staffing

“Some women have said that you get more from the weekend staffing than doing the workshop. I certainly got much more than I expected. It allowed me to experience myself in so many ways, and much deeper than I have ever imagined I could go.”

“The depth, joy and pain shared on the weekend by all the women and staff is magical in the light and dark sense of the word. It reminded me of the vulnerability that we all carry as women but somehow never show behind the masks we all wear.”

“The weekend brought great gifts and stayed with me for many month's after. Sometimes, seeing the women I share "life" with standing in the queue at Woolies or walking in the forest, and in that quiet moment sharing a glance of recognition, respect and feeling of I know what it means to walk silently beside another woman, the pain and joy of this life and the gift of being a woman.”
