THE UNTAMED WOMAN RETREAT
Dear Woman,
Do you sense there is a deep desire for more inside you?
There was a time, where i was silencing my voice, letting shame rule my life and trying to press myself into the box of how i am supposed to be as a woman.
I felt numb, disconnected and drained from pleasing others.
But deep down there was always this deep yearning for MORE:
𖤓 More rawness.
𖤓 More aliveness.
𖤓 More pleasure.
𖤓 More wildness and softness.
𖤓 More intuition and feeling.
𖤓 More authentic expression.
𖤓 More juiciness and turn-on.
𖤓 More depth and intimacy
𖤓 More fullness
What about you?
Do you notice sometimes that it’s difficult for you to express the full spectrum of your feminine being, because of shame and social conditionings?
I feel you, sister!
My deep longing for MORE was the gateway to my journey of embodied liberation of my inner "Untamed Woman".
It all starts with your choice! 🐍
I invite you with my my full heart to The 2nd edition of the Untamed Woman Retreat
A 5-Day Journey into embodied liberation.
This journey is about coming home to your body and to reclaim the parts inside yourself, which have been shamed and tamed. It’s a journey to release the ideas of how society conditioned you to be and look as a woman and to connect to your raw & untamed nature.
Being connected to your untamed nature means to choose a life of aliveness, authenticity and unapologetic expression. It’s living the life of your deepest truth and desires and to embrace the full spectrum of your being.
It’s about feeling safe enough to be yourself.
You are invited to go to on this journey with me and to grow, transform and heal together with other sisters.
What is an untamed woman?
🐍 The untamed woman is deeply connected to her body and her inner wisdom.
🐍 SHE knows that she is her own source of life force and pleasure
🐍 SHE is giving herself permission to express the full spectrum of her being.
🐍 SHE doesn’t pretend, please and perform, as she is living her authentic truth.
🐍 SHE is on the mission to release the collective layers of shame.
🐍 SHE feels safe & empowered as a sensual, primal & erotic being.
🐍 SHE doesn’t shy away to speak her “no” and follow her full body “yes”.
🐍 SHE doesn’t care about beauty standards as she is connected to her inner radiance.
🐍 SHE is not fullfilling the expectations of how society wants her to be as a woman, as she knows that she can’t be pressed into a box.
🐍 SHE doesen”t care about being “too little” or “too much”.
🐍 SHE feels whole.
🐍 SHE is NOT shrinking herself or silencing her voice in order to please others
The Untamed Woman is a woman, who chooses the path of embodied liberation and to break free of collectivly created layers of shame, suppression & conditionings.
Because she can’t ignore the voice inside her body to break free.
Is this you?
Do you feel that there is more?

impressions from my last womans journey
About me
Hey, I'm Jana...
I'm a woman, who carried shame in her body for the most time of her life, who numbed herself in all possible ways and who was completly disconnected from her sexuality and pleasure.
But i always felt this whisper of my body that "there is more". So i embarked on the path of embodied liberation to break free from all this conditionings, which kept me small, numb and tamed.
I'm a professional Somatic Bodyworker & Coach, Embodiment Facilitator, Tantric Bodyworker and Yoga Teacher.
My work combines trauma-informed Embodiment, Somatics, Conscious Dance, Temple Arts, Tantra and Nature Explorations.
I'm originally from Germany, but since 4 years the beautiful Algarve is my home.
In Portugal i host regular events around feminine embodiment, self intimacy and Tantric Date Nights and Rituals for Couples.

faqs
Is this retreat for me, if I am completly new in this field and feel a lot of shame in showing myself?
Yes!
You can join this retreat either, if you already have more experience in the field of self- and personal development, or of this field is completely new for you.
Because it is a journey for yourself and to yourself and to meet yourself exactly where you are right now in this moment.
The practices,tools and exercises are designed that you can always choose the intensity and how deep you want to go. Your body will tell you.
As well you will learn the basic tools for self regulation, emotional mastery and connecting to & communicating your needs, desires & boundaries directly at the beginning of our journey. So you will be provided with valuable tools, which you can always use & apply during the retreat.
Will there be nudity?
My approach is to come back to the innocence of the naked human body, because that’s how we came to earth.
„Nudity“ can have many meanings. It doesn’t have to mean taking off your clothes. It can also mean to take off masks and giving yourself permission to show yourself more vulnerable and in your authentic expression.
And there will be the chance, where you can drop old layers of shame by taking off your clothes in a communal and ritualistic setting.
But above all, there is your power of choice! Nudity is never an obligation, just a "clothing option".
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?
We will work with our sexuality.
But what does that mean? My goal is to empower you to reclaim the innocence of your sexual nature and to return to your inner wholeness.
My approach is that sexuality is not "something that you do", it's part of your nature and of your BEING.
First of all sexuality begins by the ability to sense and feel your body. To connect to your emotions. To express yourself in an authentic way. To connect and communicate your boundaries and feel your desires, which might be covered by shame. To find your authentic „yes“ and „no“ in your body.
It is about reclaiming your whole body as a source of pleasure and re-writing old patterns and storys of your sexuality & shame.
It’s about reconnecting to your life force and connecting to nature is a big part of this, because there is so much beauty, vibrancy & aliveness around you.
So 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.
