Womb of the Heart

An Inner Pilgrimage of the Embodied Feminine

with Sandi Palermo in Mazunte, Mexico

January 8–11, 2024

Awaken the Power of the Womb through Self-Awareness

Do you long to reconnect with the wellspring of your vitality and loving potential, the Spiritual Heart? Are you yearning to heal and thrive as you deepen your capacity to be as you are?

Join Sandi for this 3-day inner pilgrimage exploring the Heart and womb in the temple of the body. While working in a sacred circle of women, you’ll learn simple, practical techniques to feel, nurture, and amplify the energy of Shakti expressed through Womb Wisdom, the powerhouse of feminine embodiment.  

This unique experiential workshop integrates Self-Inquiry, looking into the source of your being to shed layers of false identification and conditioning, while embracing the Sacred Feminine. 

Receive the teachings of the Heart as shared in Hridaya Yoga, as well as wisdom from the Sacred Feminine mystery schools. Explore Hridaya Meditation, Heart-Womb Yoga (a presence-based practice connecting with the pelvic floor through subtle anatomy and opening to witness the aliveness of the energies), profound rituals, shamanic journeying, conscious movement and breathwork, and prayer as tools and paths of Self-exploration and opening to the creative potential of the Heart-Womb. 

As you come to understand and embrace the enabling power of the Sacred Womb by deeply listening with the Heart, your life will become a living prayer, infused with the potential of the pure “I Am” presence. 

This workshop is calling you if you’re seeking authentic Self-connection, tools for healing, and an inner pilgrimage of the Heart and the embodied feminine to remember who you are. If you aspire to explore the shadow of the feminine and hear her voice speak through you, to remember how to see, hear, feel, and listen to the intuition of the Heart and Womb, to tap into the natural well of creative potential and abundance of being in the temple of a woman, to open to the transformative potential of prayer, join us in the Womb of the Heart.
