A journey back to you.

The question nobody asked you

Most women arriving here can answer, instantly and in detail, what everyone around them needs. Asked what they want, they pause — and the pause is longer than they expect it to be.

Nothing here is designed to make you feel guilty about that. It is simply three days where the question gets asked, and there is enough quiet around it for an honest answer to turn up.

When it runs

The next one is not dated yet. It is held at the school inside the October–April season — tell us roughly when you could travel and we will let you know as soon as a date is set.

Each day runs 9:00 am – 5:00 pm, at Aithein Healing School, Goa, India. Check-in from 1:00 pm, check-out by 11:00 am.

What the days of this women's retreat are for

  • Let go of the past, and forgive yourself for putting everyone else first
  • Understand and honour your own desires, strengths and goals
  • Find the nerve to say no without guilt
  • And to say yes to what you actually want

Break free from expectations

Women are conditioned, for a long time and from every direction, to put others first — and the cost is usually paid quietly, in dreams that got postponed and an identity that got smaller.

Taking full responsibility for your life means owning your own happiness, setting boundaries, and living by your values rather than someone else’s. That is what these three days are for.
