The Women’s Freedom Tribe retreat offers a deeply transformative experience for women who believe that clarity, enthusiasm, and soul purpose are essential to holistic healing.
At the heart of this unique program is a safe and sacred space in the enchanting landscapes of southern Austria, where you can finally confront and release self-limiting beliefs and outdated patterns.
Stepping into your true self is a journey—one that requires shedding the comfort of staying small.
This is a rite of passage.
“This retreat was one of the biggest shifts in my life to date. I felt seen, safe, and heard.
I learned of so many new ways to care for myself, and they felt feasible! I left the retreat with a deep sense of self and acknowledgment and deep gratitude for life - mine, others’, and our earth.”Luam, singer and songwriter, Los Angeles

Step into a sacred space where ancient wisdom meets modern transformation. This retreat is designed to guide you on a profound journey of self-discovery, healing, and growth.
We invite you to reconnect with your inner truth, the natural world, and the timeless rituals that nurture our souls and inspire profound growth.
The Location
The retreat will take place in the beautiful Aigen im Ennstal, Steiermark, in Austria, near one of the highest free- standing mountains in Europe, the “Grimming”, which holds ancient myths and stories, also about a dragon that still lives in a cave within the mountain. There is a lake nearby, and for those wanting to explore the region before or after the retreat, the area offers wonderful opportunities, including the thermal waters bubbling out of the mountain.
The venue is located approximately 2.5 hours from Vienna and 1.5 hours from Graz.
See pictures below!
More info on getting to the venue will be shared on registration.
The wooden chalet is nestled among the mountains, with a view upon stunning natural landscapes all year round. Our space offers a cozy and comfortable retreat from the busy-ness of daily life, inviting you to breathe in the cool mountain air and soften into being held by nature.
We have a beautiful mountain river nearby, for those of you, who like cold water plunges!

I truly learned so much about the power of tribe, prayer, and breath during these days. The facilitators really made us feel safe, and the depth of the space encouraged us to 'really go there'. The tools that were provided guided me through a deep inner process, as well as a more collective and ancestral one.

Two deeply transformative Breathwork sessions - unlocking inner clarity and resilience:
In ancient societies the breath was used as one of the principal tools for healing and self-realisation. We practice a style of deep conscious breathing designed to quiet the mind and enter an expanded state of awareness. In this state, deep physical and emotional healing processes arise. Both beginners and experienced breathers are welcome.

I came with the intention to be able to receive and just be myself. That is exactly what
I received plus more! I left the retreat feeling like I can start over again, with more compassion for myself and a reminder that life is one big ceremony. The breathwork really helped to tap into the unknown places of myself.
