Best for Life Changes: Andréa Ararê
"her sessions are nothing short of life-changing"
Feminine RevolutioN
With Andréa Ararê
JULY 12- 16, 2023
01. Feminine
Archetypes
During these workshops, the participants will be educated on the different aspects of female life phases or archetypes, how to use those different energies to understand and accept themselves, and how to optimize their lives with them. It will include practices like creating a colorful dial that represents those phases, a guided meditation to connect with those inner voices, and a ritual to celebrate them. This module will be broken down into four different days, with four distinct practices following the same format.
03. Yoga
Practice
The daily practice of movement helps the body to access and release tension, blockages, wounds, patterns, and more. The goal is to combine movement work with the other practices/modules in the program and help the participants to find more space and flexibility in themselves.
02. Somatic
Practices
This module will involve different exercises that bring attention to interoception (interoception is the perception of sensations from inside the body and includes the perception of physical sensations related to internal organ function such as heartbeat, respiration, satiety, as well as the autonomic nervous system activity related to emotions). Most of the practices are based on Somatic Experiencing® (SE) and aim to better regulate the participants’ nervous systems.
05. Sound
Bath
Soothing sounds and vibrations have been associated with multiple benefits, like calming the mind, reducing stress and anxiety, decreasing tension and fatigue, boosting mood, improving sleep, and more. This module will include an hour of soothing music and its vibration with crystal bowls, chimes, and soft-sounding instruments.
04. Ceremonies
Tea, Fire, Elements
Ancient cultures used to live in a closer relationship with the natural world, in communion with it, which involved learning its intrinsic wisdom and abiding by its natural ebb and flow. The understanding of how energy works and reverence for all that sustained them was the base for ceremonies and rituals to honor natural or life events. It supported a sense of true connectedness and belonging. Research shows that rituals and cermonies have powerful calming effects on the individual psyche. This module will include practices to observe resonances with the natural world and invoke its help.
06. Women's
Circles
During these practices, the participants will sit in a circle and be invited to individually share the reason and the goal for their presence in a safe and ritualistic group space. They notice the similarities in their personal journeys and find a common collective theme. The goal is to intentionally listen to each other and to themselves.

The EmpowHER Scholarship
One Spot Gifted At Every Retreat
We know that a little support can go a long way.
Aligning with our heart-centered values and commitment to giving back, The Center Somerset has partnered with the Akhilanda Women's Foundation EmpowerHer Scholarship initiative.
We understand that women facing challenges often need a helping hand to participate fully in retreat offerings like ours. So, AWF will gift one spot on each retreat to a woman who needs support.
We believe in the transformative power of compassion, self-care, and community. If you're a woman who could benefit from this opportunity, we encourage you to apply for the
EmpowerHer Scholarship Program.
This year we are taking applications from the United Kingdom only.
