Sima Kade - Magaliesberg

You are invited to The Mystic Women.

A Sanctuary.

For women who desire a deeper connection to their bodies, a wiser understanding of their authentic selves & easy tools to support navigating this Great Mystery of Life.

Stepping into Fullness. Wholeness. All of you.

Unlocking a new paradigm of True Power - rooted into softness, slowness, aliveness, pleasure

Power that makes sense - because it is rooted in your senses.

 

Power that reveals itself as you step fully into ALL of who you are - by decoding the I am not good enough / I am too much imprints that we carry - consciously and also under the surface.

 

A women connected to her Sacred. To her sensuality. To her True power - is magenetic.

Together we will Pause. Breathe.

Move slowly.

Dance freely.

Share our stories.

Remember ourselves. 

Laugh - maybe cry.

Feel juicy and alive in our bodies.

Sit in silence listening to the stars. 

Maybe Sauna - if thats your thing xxx

& definitely remember the medicine of softness and slowness - because this is where the real Beauty lives & it gets to feel goooooood.

Influenced by mystery teachings of Ancient Egypt, plant wisdom of the Blue Lotus, Rose, Cacao, the philosophy & practices of Ancient & Neo-Tantra. 

It is time to unlock the support of the Ancient future technologies within us.

Egypt is the seat of the Golden Age — known in one of my lineages as the power acupuncture point of the world. Ancient futuristic technology. Sovereignty. Remembrance. Heart-centred Power. Purity.

Tantra is a mystical body of work often felt as messy, taboo, & edgy precisely because of its power & it's deep simplicity (spoiler alert - it ain't got to do just with s4x). Actually it is SO MUCH MORE. In my life - when I came into contact with these wisdom teachings. I came to know my body as Divine, my Humanity as Holy and I went from Burn't out and sick AF - to aliveness, passion, purpose. This is why I teach this work because it is natural, easy, perceived as super exclusive & yet designed for everyone. 

Influenced by these currents and also my rich life experience we will explore practices that activate a new operating system within you, bring more of you online into fullness & wholeness.

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 irresistible & unstoppable.

 

She steps into the leadership of her own life - it ripples impact into her work, her family, her whole life.

 

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

 

This is not a retreat. This is an alchemical portal - where the art of slowing down, softening, allowing is the real alchemy. 

 

Come feel full & whole as you unlock your Sacred Sensual Power.

THIS FOR YOU IF YOU DESIRE:

 

To be more of yourself...

more Wholeness,

more Authenticity, 

more Soul,

more Joy,

more Ease,

more Vitality.

Together we will: 

  • Connect to our body & heart wisdom and release any barriers, blockages that get in the way.

  • Tap into our creative power & aliveness.

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

  • Unfold into our Pure Essence, our clarity, our truth.

  • Rest, rewire, nourish, resource.

  • Be surrounded & inspired by nature.

As always, I welcome ALL of YOU. 

 

This will be a gentle space of liberation. 

 

Space to play. Space to learn, Space to be held, Space to share, Space to express, Space to feel, Space to be silent, Space to connect.

Space 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. 

This is for the women on a path of self enquiry - who knows there must be more to this Human & Spiritual thing called Life on planet on Earth.

 

The Women who desire to stop seeking answers outside of herself and to rest into deeper self trust and knowing.

Modalities

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. ​​
 

BODY AS AN ORACLE

Movement, breath, meditation, ancient texts - activate Embodied presence. Remembering the body as sacred - a portal of deep wisdom. Resourcing in our senses & sensuality as precious technology that we can activate to create a more harmonious existence, a life of more ease and pleasure, a co-creative dance - less force and push.

TANTRIC YOGA

A slow, deeply restorative and balancing practice of asana(posture) yoga. It is tri-doshic(Ayurvedic) balancing and wonderfully nourishing for the nervous system. Teaching us to relax whilst in action. It is through this that we drop from doing into being-ness - cultivating the art of receiving, allowing, surrendering. 

 

BREATH TECHNIQUES

Various types of breathing practices and techniques to help you shift your energy levels & re-calibrate the nervous system.

Easy to apply daily techniques to longer practices. The breath is our fastest way to presence in the body. Our ultimate ally for survival too - imagine when we programme it towards Thriving :)

 

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.
