The Return Retreat is a deep initiatory journey, calling you home to your deep wise self, your true essence, your deepest truth.
This journey supports you to embody your full authentic self, to embody deep self-love and acceptance so that you can lead yourself in your life and relationships from your deepest truth and alignment.
This work takes you into the deeper layers of yourself, to understand what's been holding you back from experience the love, connection, aliveness and joy you've been craving and opens up the gateway for you to access that now and embody it now.
We are going into the body mind and rewiring the system for love and connection and to lead yourself from your truth rather than what you think you have to do or who you have to be in order to be loved and accepted externally.
We are connecting to the infinite love within that is abundant, that is always available, that has always been within you... a love that can never be taken away from you.
We are returning home to the true essence of our being... love.
This is what shifts our external experience. This is what opens us up to receiving the love we desire in our lives, to experience the connection with our loved ones and our community that we so yearn for. This is what awakens our sacred heart and opens us up to life, to fully living rather than just getting through another day.
We'll be exploring emotional triggers, nervous system regulation, embodiment practices, breathwork, ritual and ceremony, embodied self-love, heart and womb connection, inner child work, sisterhood wounds and coming together in sacred community to support one another to rise up into our highest selves, into our deepest truth, together.
I am so excited to share this space and guide you on this deeply profound, transformational and truly life changing journey.

Lunch, tea and snacks will be provided.

Your Facilitator
✹ Monique Carmela: Intuitive Guide, Embodiment & Relationship Coach ~ Guiding You Home to Your Body, Your Truth & Your Power
Hi, I’m Monique Carmela — I support you to come home to your authentic self and embrace your full expression, in your life and relationships.
My work is a fusion of somatic healing, nervous system regulation, trauma-informed emotional work, inner child healing, feminine & masculine integration, conscious relationship principles, and intuitive channelled guidance.
Because real transformation doesn’t happen in one layer — it happens in the body, the heart, the nervous system, the lineage, and the soul.
I am here to guide you home to the truth of who you are.

What is Biodynamic Breathwork?
On this retreat you will be guided through Biodynamic Breathwork, an incredibly powerful healing modality.
Biodynamic breathwork is a trauma-informed, somatic practice that combines conscious connected breathing, sound, movement, meditation, and body awareness.
This approach supports the release of stress and trauma from the physical body by gently bringing suppressed emotions and stored energy into awareness — so they can be fully felt, expressed, and released. As these blocks dissolve, life force energy flows more freely, supporting long-term regulation, emotional resilience, and embodied integration.
Breathwork can support you to:
✹ Heal core emotional wounds
✹ Release stress, anxiety, and suppressed emotional
✹ Release limiting beliefs and unconscious patterns
✹ Regulate the nervous system and increase emotional capacity
✹ Experience clarity, inner peace, and balance
✹ Increase energy levels and vitality
✹ Reconnect with your body, authentic self, deepest truth and personal power
