Resting in the Arms of the Pachamama
A Shamanic Healing &
Spiritual Embodiment Retreat
with Amy Maiima
January 21-28, 2024
In this healing retreat, you will practice the science and art of spiritual embodiment, and learn shamanic healing rituals for purification, and connection, of mind-body-spirit.
When the nervous system is regulated, and when we purify our multidimensional bodies, we awaken to who we are as conscious beings. This remembering then becomes the practice of spiritual embodiment.
Join Amy Maiima for 7 nights in the pristine mountain jungle, outside of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
You’ll experience the profound rest that comes from slowing down, and understanding your innate connection to the Pachamama, the Cosmic Mother of All Space and Time. You’ll also be encouraged to listen deeply to your most authentic Self, while trusting and moving from your internal authority, connected to the guidance of the benevolent Beings here to support you in your spiritual evolution.
Your days will be filled with restorative and somatic practices, shamanic rituals, wisdom teachings, nourishing food, sacred music, time for play and laughter, surrounded by a community of supportive women who are ready and willing to unwind the patriarchal patterns held in the body-mind of the individual and collective bodies.
You’ll be part of a wisdom circle where you will practice belonging to both yourself and a sisterhood of women, who hold your highest vision—for you to manifest your most grounded, spiritually awakened, and expressive version of yourself.
we will explore the relationship between SOMA & SPIRIT ~
~ AND PrACtice tHE SCIENCE AND ART OF SPIRITUAL EMBODIMENT.
RETREAT Overview
The retreat will be held at Equilibrium Healing Resort
This healing retreat is a calling to purify the wounded feminine patterns, we as women have been conditioned to collectively carry in our bodies. These patriarchal patterns can sometimes show up as issues with mother or mothering, excess striving to succeed, issues with body-image, internalized shame around sexuality, and blockages in the voice, and authentic communication.
Fully immersed in nature, this purification of mind-body-spirit, will awaken and deepen your connection to Self, helping you to remember your conscious connection to the Pachamama within you.
Imagine waking up each morning, in the most luxurious bed, listening to the sounds of the birds and the river flowing down the mountain below. Slowly rising, you’ll enjoy a beautiful herbal tea, and then take a mindful walk down the tree lined path to the our sacred sanctuary, for our morning practice of somatic experiencing meditation and earth medicine rituals.
Our week will unfold in alignment with a nourishing rhythm of vital plant-based gourmet meals, shamanic healing ceremonies, wisdom circles, community ritual, free time for spa therapies, and rest and rejuvenation by the mineral pool and ozone hot tub. This experience is curated to be the most restorative balance of personal time, community time, and sacred time.
In this collective container, together we will practice the science and art of co-regulation, and divine feminine liberation. You'll be held, supported, and encouraged to express your most wild and true expression, to come home to yourself, and to return to the arms of the Pachamama.
