About our retreats

The Purpose of Our Retreats

A space to pause, to breathe, and to be with what is present in our lives, without needing to explain, justify, or fix anything.

Many arrive carrying experiences that have not yet had room to be held with a loving awareness.

Loss, separation, grief, exhaustion, guilt, or the quiet weight of responsibility.

Some are navigating complex family dynamics or healing their relationship with themselves

and their children.

Others simply sense a need to stop and

listen inward.

These retreats are not designed to diagnose, direct, or push transformation. They are held as spaces of permission. Permission to arrive exactly as you are. Permission to be with your life as it is in this moment.

What unfolds is guided by presence, care, and trust in each person’s own timing.

The Nature of the Experience

You are welcome to arrive with children.

Children are held in a retreat of their own, with space for personal work, reflection, and integration. The rhythm is gentle and spacious, allowing time for what may surface to be met without urgency.

Kids are in a retreat experience all their own, guided by facilitators who are deeply mindful, attentive, and nurturing. Their days are held with care through play, creativity, movement, music, and rest, offering them a sense of safety, continuity, and belonging.

These are parallel experiences. Parents and kids are not in the same space during inner work, allowing parents the privacy and vulnerability they may need. At the same time, children are nearby and well supported, and parents are welcome to reconnect at any point.

Shared time is woven naturally through meals, free time, sleep, and gentle moments of integration. This structure exists so parents can truly be present with what arises, knowing their little ones are close, safe, and held with care.

Facilitators and Care

The retreats are held by a circle of friends who came together through lived experience and shared devotion to holding space with integrity.

Each facilitator has been chosen through direct relationship and trust, not through credentials alone. What connects this group is an attunement to presence, humility, and the subtle ways people need to be met when they are navigating tender or meaningful inner processes.

Care is offered gently with attention and respect for boundaries, privacy, and individual pace. Participants are met without expectation, comparison, or pressure to share.

I just wanted to say the deepest thank you… truly, from my heart.
Your love, your time, your energy — everything you gave to hold that space so beautifully — it touched me in ways I’m still feeling.
It was such a gift to be there. And knowing it was donation-based made it even more special… I honestly wouldn’t have been able to come otherwise, and it ended up being exactly what my soul needed.
It was deeply healing, transformative, and full of love.
Thank you for seeing us, holding us, and guiding us with such grace. You are a real light, Alina.
With so much love and gratitude,

Thank you for your incredible talent and your beautiful gift in creating this amazing retreat. You put so much love into it, and it truly showed through every detail and through the wonderful women you brought together. I feel so grateful to have met all of you, each on her own journey of becoming again stronger, more loving, more connected and aligned.

A special thank you to the entire team as well, each therapist was amazing, so intuitive and precise in their guidance. I felt deeply supported in exploring my own fears and challenges, and I’m leaving with a profound sense of clarity, strength, and joy. These days have filled me with a renewed desire to live life to the fullest.

I’d be very happy to support in any way for the next retreat. So many people have already told me they would love to join next time!

Thank you from my heart for these beautiful days at The Guardian House. It felt like living in a dream, surrounded by love, kindness and connection.
No words… for creating this safe space and giving my daughter and me the chance to be part of it.
Your warmth, care and vision made this experience truly special.
In bed now with a full heart, new light, strength and deep gratitude for each of you.. love,

With love,

I have felt that since attending the hOM retreat there is a positive momentum in my life to keep growing and healing. I felt very stuck before, but since the retreat I am more open and able to say Yes to things that bring me happiness.

The retreat was an incredibly loving, healing and energetically safe experience. There was a warmth, homeliness and welcoming I felt. The space was beautiful and so were the people who created it.

Attending this retreat we were women from different backgrounds and different life journeys, but over the five days we shared a connection that felt unique. Our children were cared for by wonderful facilitators and they played together, sang, and ran barefoot in the nature. We adults shared our tears, laughter, sadness and inspiration with the guidance of incredible practitioners.

For me it was life changing in many ways. I gave myself permission to be worthy of such a special experience, I shared the healing alongside my little boy and felt our connection deepen, I received kindness, compassion and care from gifted practitioners, and I met other women that showed me I’m not alone in my experiences and held the mirror for me to see all parts of me. There is something very magical about stepping out of the struggles and repetitiveness of daily life and into a space where there are people supporting and championing you. I am incredibly grateful to Alina for her heart centred vision, and for bringing together other wonderful healers.
