“The ancients believed that we are the Tree of Life, that our bodies, in connection with the portal spirals of Cosmos and Earth form an incredible mystical power, when we know the keys to unlock its secrets.”

Journey through the portals of the womb and hara
Live retreat: October 2-9, 2024
FOR MEN AND WOMXN
IN LIMOUX, SOUTH OF FRANCE
Are you longing to
establish a deep and conscious connection with often unconscious parts of your Womb and Hara
reset connections between mind & body
get out of your mind, ground & become whole again
release personal, societal and ancestral blockages and wounding from all the portals in your Womb and Hara
gain full access to your se*x*ual creative life force energy
liberate your potential for sacred union
embody your divine potential – connected to the Earth, the elements and the Cosmos
experience the safety to be vulnerable in a sacred circle of brothers and sisters
reconnect to nature and the elements in the powerful, legendary region of the Languedoc?
Then join us in this absolutely magical and transformative retreat:
a combination of deep inner work and rituals in powerful places in nature!
Just as our body has chakra’s, our Womb and Hara (deep belly for men) have energetic portals, also called grail gates. The awakening of those portals is a powerful initiation with great transformative potential. It is a spiritual, energetic and physical quest.
In the ancient mystery schools the Womb was known as the grail and a woman or man with a fully awakened Womb was considered a living grail. Priestesses of Isis, such as Mary Magdalene, dedicated their lives to this. Mary Magdalene’s beloved Jeshua was also trained in these inner alchemy practices.
In a safe group of sisters and brothers, we undertake an energetic and intuitive journey through the grail gates of our pelvic bowl. Through ancient mystery teachings, guided meditation, shamanic journeying, energetic healing & clearing, ritual, dance, song, mantra… we focus on awakening an in-depth awareness of the secret landscape of our Womb and Hara.
For each portal, we connect to its deep psychology, archetypes and elements. By shining our light on its shadow side, we also reclaim the gifts of each portal. Energetic healing & clearing practices free the way to vibrate again with the original frequency and optimal potential of each gate.
Next to this journey into our inner landscape, we will equally explore the outer landscape of the stunning Cathar region, called the Languedoc in the South of France. We visit powerful places in nature, stunning sacred sites, springs and thermal baths. The outer nature becomes a mirror for our inner nature and brings in its own intelligence and additional healing to our inner transformation process.
The inner alchemy practices in this retreat do not involve nakedness nor erotic touch. Our exploration is energetic and restores a conscious and embodied connection with our inner grail portals.
No matter if you have a physical womb or not, you can journey through the energy centers and activate them in your energetic body.
This journey into the inner sanctuary of our Womb and Hara is powerful and transformative. We practice it the way I learned it from my teachers, Seren & Azra Bertrand from the former Fountain of Life.

Villa Sainte Marie, where you will be lodged, is an exceptional and healing place that used to belong to the nuns of Cluny and afterwards to a pioneer in permaculture. We sleep in the main house behind cute blue shutters, or in wooden houses and glamping tents between the fruit trees on the land. We do the process work in the beautiful temple tent under the protection of a female taxus tree.
The Cathar region in the South of France is stunning: wild nature, ancient thermal baths, lots of history and herstory, legends and myths, castles, churches, beautiful people, nice food…
Limoux lies half an hour below Carcassonne in France. Carcasonne airport is at 30min by car and Toulouse airport is 1.5h driving. Limoux has a train station. We provide transport to and from the airport.
Hello, my name is Mieke Anthuenis (1972). I am a womb awakening teacher, shamanic womb healer and priestess, menstrual mentor and yoni steam facilitator. My life is dedicated to birthing the new earth and bringing back ancient feminine wisdom, healing arts and spirituality. Since 2005, I have been walking a shamanic path with strong influence from my time in Peru and Colombia and the teachers I met there. I am trained in core shamanism (Michael Harner) and womb shamanism (Fountain of Life, Sanctuary of Sofia and Sacred Woman Awakening). Since 2018, I work as a Moon Mother (level 3) and Vaginal Steam facilitator (Peristeam Hydrotherapy Institute). With a background in shiatsu and tuina, I seek to bring in the rich and old eastern view on womxn’s well-being. In my retreats and 1-on-1 sessions, I blend these modalities together, based on the needs of the client, to facilitate a deep and safe space for healing and transformation. I work with persons in all seasons of their life, with or without a womb, with or without a period. I am co-author of the best-selling book Return To the Motherworld and run retreats and pilgrimages in the legendary Cathar region in the South of France.
I am truly honored to connect with you.
