HEART ALCHEMY: A SACRED RETURN
A One-Day Women’s Retreat with Tanya Forgan & Blanca Leon
Welcome, love. It’s good to have you here.
Do you feel the ache for a slower pace, a softer rhythm?
Do you find yourself holding everything together, yet quietly longing for someone to hold you?
Do you yearn to return to the part of yourself that’s been waiting patiently beneath the surface — untouched by demands, radiant in her wholeness?
This is your invitation to come home.
Not to a shinier version of yourself.
But to the real you that is unhurried, unedited, unburdened.
Heart Alchemy is a loving ceremonial retreat designed for women who are ready to exhale.
To rest, to remember, and to reconnect with the quiet wisdom of the heart.
It’s not an escape from your life. It is a sacred return to it with more presence, more clarity, and more you.
WHY NOW?
We live in a world that rewards the hustle, praises resilience, and overlooks the deep cost of never stopping. You ou are not a machine.
You are a cyclical, creative, feeling being.
And when we override our rhythms for too long, something inside begins to fracture — the part that knows how to listen, how to feel, how to receive.
We need spaces like this more than ever.
Places to soften. To unravel. To be held by the earth, by each other, by the ancient knowing in our own bodies.
WHAT TO EXPECT
This day has been lovingly crafted to restore your nervous system and reawaken your aliveness.
You’ll be guided through a nourishing rhythm of:
- Somatic movement to awaken your body’s innate intelligence
- Therapeutic Yoga Nidra for health to access deep, sacred rest
- Guided breathwork and meditation to soothe the heart and steady the mind
- Women’s Circle to be seen, heard, and held, without needing to perform or fix
- Sound healing with Blanca to support emotional and energetic release
- Sacred rest and stillness to remember who you are beneath the noise
A nourishing vegetarian lunch is included, and we’ll end the day with a ritual of reflection to help you integrate and land gently.
WHY RETREAT?
Because retreat is not indulgence. It’s remembrance.
It’s the radical act of returning to your natural rhythm.
It’s medicine for a world that forgot how to slow down.
It’s how we reclaim what has been lost through over-giving, over-doing, and under-receiving.
WHY CIRCLE?
When women gather, something ancient reawakens.
We speak.
We listen.
We breathe.
We remember.
In circle, we don’t fix or improve. Instead we witness, and that alone is transformative.
This is the alchemy of the heart.
Join Us
Whether you’re navigating change, seeking stillness, or simply longing for space to breathe, this retreat is for you.
Come as you are.
Leave with a deeper sense of yourself.
Grounded. Resourced. Radiant.
