Dance Rituals through The Wheel of Womanhood

Dance Rituals through the Wheel of Womanhood | Retreat in Inanitah Nicaragua ​​​​​​​​​I invite you, high on a lush volcano in Nicaragua to… ☾ RE-MEMBER: A group of women forms the safe container for this profound initiation journey into Womanhood. Experience true sisterhood, without masks. ​ ☾ RE-WILD: From birth to death, experience 8 powerful dance rituals through the cycles of life & moon, to reconnect with your wild nature. ☾ RE-CONNECT: Embody and integrate the archetypes of each life/moon phase into your daily life.​ ✧ Rites of Passage : Menarche, Menopause, Death & Rebirth ✧ A diverse journey: From Burlesque to Grief ✧ Archetypal Awaking & Embodied Dreamwork 🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑 PROGRAM ♡ Monday 11 Mai ♡ Virgin + Menarche Ceremony | New egg - Spring (​9am - 12.30pm) Birth process to see life with new eyes. Discover the purity and playfulness of the Virgin. Rewrite your initiation into Womanhood. (Self-)lover | Ovulation - Summer (2.45pm - 6pm) Explore what Self-Love means to you and how you can express yourself while remaining true to yourself. Slow down and move at your own pace through shame, towards enjoying & showing your body. Burlesque as an act of self-love! ♡ Tuesday 12 Mai ♡ Mother (earth) | Ovulation - Summer (9am - 12.30pm) How can you attune to another person with motherly energy? How can you hold space while taking care of yourself? And how can the statues of the Paleolithic Goddesses inspire us today? Wild Woman - Witch | Pre-menstruation - Peri-menopauze - Autumn (2.45pm - 6pm) Connect with the Wild within to be true to yourself! Just like trees, let go of what no longer serves you, set boundaries & make space for yourself. We remember the ancient witches and priestesses & cut ourselves free from unhealthy (relationship) patterns and oppression. ♡ Wednesday 13 Mai ♡ Grief Ceremony | Pre-Menstruation - Menopause - Autumn (9am - 12.30pm) Menopause invites a woman to look back on her life. To mourn and make peace with how life has unfolded. Just like the old tribes, we will not mourn alone, but form a 'village' in which we are all mourners and spaceholders, for the grief that is opened through Francis Weller's '5 Gates of Grief'. ‘Crowning’ Ceremony + Wise Woman | Menstruation - Winter (2.45pm - 6pm) When the 'have to’s' as a mother or career woman fall away, we connect with why you are truly here on earth. We crown ourselves, open our crown chakra & step into our intuitive power. Through Embodied Dreamwork we connect with our subconscious wisdom. ♡ Thursday 14 Mai ♡ Ceremony of Death & Rebirth (9am - 12.30pm) Integration - End celebration (2.45pm - 6pm) Befriend death to live more fully. Death is a teacher. A profound ceremony, followed by a festive celebration and integration moment of the deep initiation journey together. ♡ Friday 15 Mai ♡ The retreat is over, but I welcome you to stay a day longer to integrate. At 4pm you can join our Cacao Ceremony with Ecstatic Dance, with the rest of the island! 🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑 LOCATION ✧ INANITAH WATER SEASON An Intentional Community, high on the hill of a vulcano, with epic views from the dance temple, swimming pool & hot tub, you’ll find this spot where you are welcome with ALL that you are & live through.

I sensed a great willingness among all the women to 'face it,' with respect for everyone's boundaries and individuality. I was able to experience and feel the beauty and purity of ceremony and ritual. The sessions allowed me to process and feel parts of myself again. Very grateful that these experiences have been stored in my system!” “The journey brought me a great deal of inspiration and nourishment. It is a place where everything is welcome at your own pace. I have been able to experience once again how ritual and ceremony are healing for my whole being and for my nervous system. The connection that Lene facilitates is desperately needed in this world.” “I felt the strength and the grounding to firmly grasp life, to look at pieces that had been pushed away or were unconscious, to feel them, to dance with them. To let go completely and choose more consciously what I want to move forward with.” “I recommend this program because of the combination of dance and rituals, but especially because of Lene, who, through who she is, creates a space where everyone immediately feels good, safe and supported. As a woman, it is beneficial to immerse yourself in the cycle, in order to move forward with strength and self-awareness. The ‘sacred feminine’ finds space within everyone once again.” “It was one of the most profound and at the same time most heartwarming women’s groups I have ever experienced. We met without masks. No competition, jealousy, or envy. (...) Thanks to the safety, openness, gentleness, clarity, and certainly also the challenges, it became an unforgettable journey. We shared our dreams and our shadow sides. For the first time, I spoke about menopause as a new phase in my life and what it does to me. (...) We also delved into our childhood, puberty, growing up, the daughter-mother dynamic, and relational themes. The wise old woman and our dying process also made a deep impression (...) Lene lives her life’s mission; she takes us along on her path of womanhood: to unite, serve, help grow, and honor women, and she does this with authenticity, love, playfulness, depth, and great creative ability. Lene is a great gift to women.” “The program with Lene is highly recommended if you want to fully connect with your body. I connected with my fire, my strength, beyond words. It is enlightening for every woman to connect with the 7 archetypes. This is not knowledge you acquire at school or during your upbringing. Lene truly embodies what she does.” 🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑 A TRULY LIFE-CHANGING RETREAT ✧ Learn to feel and respect your body, both its outer form and its inner cyclical power ✧ Learn to respect your own pace, regulate yourself & carry yourself in deep process work ✧ Express yourself authentically, beyond fear and shame ✧ Are you tired of mothering, pleasing, and adapting?
