THE
UNTAMED WOMAN
INITIATION

A journey into liberation

11th- 16th October 2026, Portugal

join the 4th edition

Early Bird Price until 10th August

For the woman, who isn't willing to settle for anything less than truth, turn-on and aliveness

Dear Sister,

You are on the path.
You’ve done the trainings, the workshops, the inner work.
You are aware, sensitive, devoted.

And still, there is a knowing inside your body:

This is not the full expression of who I am.

You feel that there is more.

There is more erotic aliveness inside of you.

More desire.

More truth.

More turn-on and more of you.

More pleasure as your natural-state, not as a reward.

More depth in intimacy and love-making.

You are holding space for others - in your work, relationships and life.

You show up fully.

And still: there are the moments where you swallow your truth and shut down - especially in the bedroom.

Where you shrink instead of being seen.

Where your sensuality stays hidden, even if you long to express it.

You notice that there are parts of you still holding back.

The pleasing.

Shutting Down.

Performing.

The expectations of how you are supposed to be as a woman.

I feel you. I have been there.

What if your liberation doesn't happen outside of yourself, but inside your body?​​​​​​

This is exactly the space where the Untamed Woman Initiation begins.

Join the fourth Edition of The Untamed Woman Initiation in Portugal - for the first time 6 Days

Being connected to your untamed nature is a lived choice.

A choice to feel fully alive inside your body.
To speak, move and express from truth.
To stop apologizing for your depth, your desires, and your intensity.

It is about feeling safe enough to embody the full spectrum of who you are:
The wild and the soft.
The tender and the fierce.
The erotic, the sensual and the primal.

The dark and the light.

The feminine and the masculine

The appropriate and the inappropiate

And there is only one way:

Through the body 

In Sisterhood, ritual and embodied devotion

"I arrived in Portugal feeling tired, with the intention of connecting with myself at my very core.

Now I leave this beautiful place filled with deep gratitude, awe, and a profound sense of wholeness. A major piece of the puzzle - one I had always known was there and belonged to me - was finally able to fall into place. I’ve integrated it so deeply that I now feel incredibly free and, at the same time, deeply safe. I feel more like myself than I have ever truly felt before.

From the depths of my heart and with immense love: thank you, Jana and Sita, for this journey and for who you are." 

- Joëlle

This is not just a Retreat, where we are sitting in a circle and talk about love and light...

We explore the full spectrum:

From rage ritual to twerking.


From bad bitch initiation to sacred tantric rituals.


From womb wisdom to the awkward, messy, alive edges of your sensual expression.


From tears to joy and the kind of aliveness you forgot was possible.

From being met in your force to softness and surrendering.

From depth and sacredness to play, humour and permission to be all of you.

Because here, healing doesn't happen through more processing.
It happens through pleasure, permission and embodied truth.

Does your body feel activated?

What's an Untamed Woman?

She is not the woman, who tries to be "more feminine".

She is the woman, who is done with pretending to be somebody she is not.

She feels her bodyeven when everything in her wants to shut down.

She speaks her truth - even if it's inapproriate

She trusts her body deeply - and follows where it leads her

She lives and expresses herself unapologetically - no pleasing, no pretending, no performing

 

She is connected to her inner turn-on - and she doesn't apologize for it.

She prioritizes pleasure and rest - not as a reward, but as a non-negotiable

She initiates the intimacy she actually wants - in life, love and in the bedroom.


She lives on her own terms - not caged by shame, conditionings  and expectations 

She doesn't wait for life to happen - sho chooses and creates

Is this you?

Impressions from the last retreat

Our beautiful Retreat location:
Monte Mariposa in Tavira (South Algarve)

The Land That Holds Us

Nestled in a magical valley in the heart of the South Algarve, Monte Mariposa is the kind of place that exhales you the moment you arrive.

It is not a luxury hotel. It is something better:  a simple, soulful retreat centre surrounded by nature, warm Portuguese light, and the kind of stillness that allows you to actually land in your body.

Here, orange trees grow in the garden. Hammocks wait between the trees. A pool invites you to float and be held. The meals are home-cooked, vegetarian/vegan and nourishing — made with love and local ingredients. The spaces are unpretentious and real.

This is a place that asks nothing of you except that you arrive as you are.

Accomodation options: 

𖤓 Regular  (2 or 3 women per room)

𖤓 Private Room (for an extra fee of 200€)

What previous participants of my retreats & events say 

Voices of previous participants

"I've been on a journey for about five years, searching for ways to get to know my "true self." In this retreat, I was able to encounter it again and again, embrace it lovingly, and embody it.
This group and the training gave me the security to feel and hold everything within me: desire, fear, shame, anger, pure joy, sensuality... Now I am fulfilled and completely sensitive; I can reframe many things and rewrite many old stories. Thank you for that!
Thank you to Jana & Sita, thank you to the magic women, thank you to this magical place."
- Jani

'I highly recommend this transformative embodied approach. Thank you for this deep & profound journey to connect to myself & my natural qualities that are ready to be unleashed free from shame & judgement is deeply life changing & creating openings of super powers from within that are ripe & ready to step up & out into the truth of my unique being to show up in the world with courage.

The cherry on the top was also the beginning of deeper self connection & pleasure …..very juicy! 

Jana’s authentic self embodiment is contagious!!…inspiring & encouraging"

I recommend the path of embodiment as it is a layer that feels vital to our process & transformation within ourselves & the collective field of current evolutionary change"

- Kerry

"The Untamed Woman retreat is the first retreat I’ve ever done and it really has changed the way I see myself and approach life.

I would really recommend this retreat to other women, even if like me you are new to this kind of activity. 
I didn’t know what to expect from the Untamed Woman but Jana and the other women made me feel so comfortable and secure. 
The partner and group exercises we did really pushed me to consider many different aspects of myself that I wouldn’t have thought about otherwise, and think about how I honour these different parts of myself. 
Mostly it made me feel that it’s ok to myself and to be an untamed woman."

FAQ

Is this retreat for me, if I am completly new in this field and feel a lot of shame in showing myself?

Yes.

This retreat is for you whether you are experienced or completely new.

All practices are choice-based, you decide the depth and pace.
Your body leads.

You will be guided in basic tools for self-regulation, safety and boundaries, so you feel supported from the beginning.

You are welcome exactly as you are.

Will there be nudity?

Nudity is never required and always a choice.

At the same time it is seen as something natural and not sexual.

You can see it as an "clothing option".

In this retreat, nudity is understood as more than taking off clothes - it can also mean dropping masks, shame and self-protection.

I approach every exercise and every ritual with care and slowness, so that you will always have enough time to check in with your body and your boundaries.

You don’t have to do anything, which is not in alignment with yourself and there will be a lot of space, that you can make conscious choices for yourself, without social pressure.

Will sexuality be part of the retreat?

Yes, we will work with sexuality as life force, not as performance or technique.

Sexuality in this space is not about doing something.
It’s about being.

This means: Sensing your body, slowing down, feeling your emotions, expressing yourself authentically and reconnecting with your desires, boundaries, yes and no.

We explore sexuality as a natural, innocent part of your being, which has nothing to do with sexual interactions.

This work invites you to reclaim your whole body as a source of pleasure, aliveness and creative energy  in a grounded, trauma-informed and choice-based way.

To sum it up: This retreat is working with sexuality in the way that your life force energy is a natural part of your being and nothing to be ashamed of.

Will it be too intense?

The Untamed Woman Initiation is not about pushing you past your limits.
It's about creating enough safety that you can finally meet your edges - on your own terms.
Every practice is an invitation, not a requirement.
Your body sets the pace. Always.
