The Mystic Woman 2026 Banner.png

 27 - 30 August 2026
(Full Moon & Lunar Eclipse)

You are invited to The Mystic Woman.

A Sanctuary. A Temple.

For women ready to drop into the deepest royal codes and divinity that live within.

We'll journey through the mystery teachings of Ancient Egypt,

the philosophy of traditional Tantra,

and the embodied practices of movement, breathwork, and ceremony.

 

Ancient wisdom currents and technology that have been locked in vaults for centuries,

just as women's sacred sensual power has been.

 

The time has come to resource ourselves from these waters again.

Egypt is the seat of the golden age — known as the power acupuncture point of the world.

Ancient futuristic technology. Sovereignty. Remembrance.

Tantra is a mystical tradition still considered taboo & edgy precisely because of its power & simplicity.

Together, they offer something rare: full permission to come into union —

between your masculine and feminine currents,

between soul and body,

between you and your desires.

Because when a woman is deeply connected to her body,

listening to the whispers of her heart,

and walking the path of her soul's purpose

— she is unstoppable.

 

She steps into the leadership of her own life.

 

Like a Royal Queen. Magnetic, radiant & fully alive.

 

This is not a retreat. This is an alchemical portal.

 

Come step into your Sacred Sensual Power.

THIS FOR YOU IF YOU DESIRE:

 

To be more of yourself...

more Soul, more Wholeness, more authenticity

  • A sacred space to feel safe & free — to allow for the unfolding of your TRUE essence.

  • To connect to your Body & Heart wisdom and release any barriers, blockages or pieces of shame.

  • To let go of the 'not good enough' and 'I am too much' stories.

  • To shift the inner dialogue of your mind.

  • To connect to & embrace your Sacred Sensual Self.

  • To feel your creative power & aliveness.

  • To be more authentic & stand in your authority.

  • To step more into your Power.

  • To trust in your divine right to live a life of Pleasure & ease.

 

As always, I welcome ALL of YOU. 

 

This will be a space of liberation. 

 

Freedom to play. Freedom to learn, Freedom to be held, Freedom to share, Freedom to express, Freedom to be silent, Freedom to connect. Freedom to JUST BE YOU. 

No judgements. No need to prove anything. No need to perform.   

A space to remember more of your Authentic Self & step into your Sacred Sensual Power.

ANCIENT EGYPT MYSTERY TEACHINGS

Myths, stories & rituals rooted in Ancient Egyptian Mystery Teachings. Stories & archetypes that awaken our memories and support us to be more fully our WHOLE selves. ​​
 

TRADITIONAL TANTRA 

Tantric wisdom helps us embrace the wholeness of our humanity & sensual selves. My lineage is taught only by women - we have innate wisdom that resides in our bodies - we will explore ancient practices that activate this & deepen your connection to your body & explore your sensual essence.​

TANTRIC YOGA

A slow, deeply restorative and balancing practice of asana yoga. It is tri-doshic balancing and wonderfully nourishing for the nervous system. Teaching us to relax whilst in action. It is through this drop from doing into being-ness. It is from this place of openness that we are able to really receive & be present.

 

TANTRIC SHAMANIC BREATHWORK

Smooth, slow sense-full movement to activate the body, preparing every cell in your body to drink in the rich prana from the Breathwork. The Conscious Breathwork practice consists of active circular breathing and breath retention. A powerful combination to nourish, revive, and reconnect.

 

BLUE LOTUS, ROSE PLANT MEDICINE JOURNEY  

Gentle use of these plant allies that work in subtle ways to shift your alchemy.

Ancient Egypt's heart medicine, the Blue Lotus awakens our deepest wisdom through expanded consciousness and lucid dreaming — opening doorways to profound states of clarity, presence and inner knowing.

A wise teacher plant, subtle & soft with an extremely high vibration. She opens the heart, soothes the nervous system and invites the soul to dream bigger. We will journey with her in various forms — in oil, tea and tincture. As our ally, she offers emotional harmony, mental clarity, pain relief and a deep sense of social connection and inner peace.

The Rose is one of the oldest sacred medicines on earth — a direct emissary of Venus, goddess of love, beauty and the sacred feminine. She teaches through paradox. Soft petals and sharp thorns. Exquisite beauty rooted in the capacity to protect. She shows us that tenderness and strength are not opposites — they are the same thing.

In shamanic traditions, the Rose opens the heart with fierce gentleness. She dissolves the armour we no longer need and invites us into a deeper relationship with our own beauty — not as performance, but as essence.

Praise from previous retreats

"Alex created a nest of pure acceptance and love. From the moment I arrived it was like being enveloped in the purest, most comforting white light. She gave us a safe space to be our true, authentic selves. A place where all of us was welcomed, “the good, the bad and the ugly”. Spending the weekend with Alex and all the other remarkably wonderful women was the best gift I ever gave myself. I would do it all again in a heartbeat." - Bronwyn

 

"If you are looking for reconnection with your deep self and the universe, this is the work to do! Alex’s teachings are profound and will leave you wanting more and feeling fulfilled. Deep gratitude xxx" - Lane

 

"I was privileged enough to attend Alex’s Mystic Women’s Retreat recently - it was simply outstanding. 

Alex held such a safe container for us all. I felt like a Goddess and at home from the minute she opened the door for me. 

So much love, care and detail went into all aspects of the retreat. 

I left feeling empowered & enriched. 

I will without a doubt attend another and other events hosted by Alex. 

THANK YOU ALEX!" - Lauren

 

"My first mystic women retreat was magical in every way. It opened up all my senses and deepened my devotion to the eternal present moment - regardless of how it shows up. So much gratitude to all the divine feminine teachers including the medicines. I highly recommend joining the circle🌹" - Mira

 

“The Mystic Women Retreat was just life changing! The workshops were just on another level, the journey of self-discovery and connection to ourselves as well as to the other beautiful souls that I had the privilege of connecting with, was just so profound.

I walked away from the weekend with my heart bursting with self-love, love for others, love for the universe and I am truly grateful to Alex and her incredible team for holding a safe and loving space for us all and for making this weekend such a memorable, deeply rooted experience that will forever be imprinted in my heart and soul.” - Carla

 

"Alex's way of holding the space at The Mystic Woman's retreat was true to the doctrines of the sacred feminine - accessible and both deeply held in ritual and the full humanness of us all. What I appreciated so greatly is the way Alex turns up in her full incarnation to weave with us. This was not a top-down approach of patriarchal guru culture, or an attempt at transcendence, but a weaving of our full selves. Her holding was a model of our sacred embodiment in the every day, one where we can desire, can luxuriate, can open ourselves to pleasure, and access the sacred mystery of it. The time and the richness of the practices, and the sacredness with which they were held really opened me to the tangible abundance of the space, of life, my body, the location, and delicious and nourishing food. Thank you for your rich and generous weavings together."

Join us for a weekend devoted to the Ritual of Remembering

All of who you are.
