Hello beautiful soul,
If you stumbled upon this page and don’t know me (yet): Welcome! My name is Janna and creating unforgettable, heart-filling Retreats & bringing like-minded souls together is my passion. For thousands of years tribes have been gathering in community for special occasions - to sing, to dance, to heal, to cry and to laugh together. There is a deep remembering when we gather in this way, sit around the fire and witness each other in our rawness.
My work is often inspired by personal life experiences and especially my Retreats are always exactly what I would book for myself. I’ve undergone an immense initiation & transformation when becoming a mother last year and my perspectives on many things in life have shifted. I realised how rare it is that we take a moment for ourselves and fully embrace tenderness, space and comfort. Most of our days fly by being wrapped up in to-dos, family & work responsibilities and very little time to pause and tend to our own needs. It’s easy to lose touch with the most important person: ourselves. This inspired me to create Rejuvenate Retreat.
Rejuvenate Retreat is devoted to slowness, ease, warmth, softness, presence, nourishment and connection. It will feel like a sweet exhale after a long & busy time of contraction. All activities & healings are carefully and intentionally created to help you relax, unwind, reconnect to yourself, your joy and creativity. It’s all about filling your cup. You’ll be surprised how much healing happens in this energy. We don’t need to chase big cathartic healing experiences. The most profound realisations happen when we surrender to what is currently present within.
A big part of this process and of utmost importance to me is creating a safe, grounded and nourishing container for women to come together in sisterhood. A space free from judgement and comparison. A space that supports vulnerability, celebration and co-creation. If this resonates with you please take the time to read through the Retreat descriptions & activities below and feel if it’s calling you.
All my love,
Janna

“Most of the things we need to be most fully alive never come in busyness. They grow in rest”
What to expect
7 Nights completely immersed in beautiful Sicilian nature along the blue Mediterranean sea, surrounded by antique salt pans, vineyards, and olive groves.
Enjoy wholesome, nourishing vegetarian meals. Daily farm to table meals grown & prepared with much love by a local Sicilian chef. The location is fully involved in the production of the food that is being served. The food is local, with most of the produce coming from either the property or a nearby farm.
Our mornings will start slow & intentional with journaling in silence before we have Sicilian breakfast (on the days we have Yoga we will have a Yoga practice before breakfast). There is a focus on slow, nourishing living. That way our nervous system is relaxed & balanced and we are more open & receptive while immersing in the deeper & transformational parts of the Retreat program.
Every other day starts with a gentle, restorative Yoga practise. All levels welcome.
Janna is going to guide a Conscious Connected Breathwork Journey that helps you connect, release and shift unexpressed emotions and clear blocks in the body.
Tea making class & Tea Ceremony: We will make our own calming & relaxing herbal tea blend while learning about the plants we are working with. The same evening we are going to enjoy our self-blended tea during a tea ceremony to connect deeper with it’s plant allies. This practice also encourages us to create small ‘sacred pause’ rituals throughout our day in our everyday life’s. Even if it’s as small as having five minutes to sit in presence with your tea. You will be able to keep your tea blend and enjoy it at home.
Pottery Workshop: We will be picked up and brought to a factory for a 3 hour pottery workshop. You’ll be able to create your own ceramic piece, paint it and bring home with you.
Horseback riding by the sea: Horses have a majestic & healing energy. There is a reason why they are often used in therapy. You’ll have the opportunity to join a horseback riding excursion by the sea. Participation is not mandatory if you don’t feel comfortable joining.
Fire Ceremony: Before we had smartphones and Netflix we had fire. Fire was the original television where we would sit around together, we would connect, share stories, pass along wisdom. Society is beginning to reach a tipping point where we realise that these tools we use to connect are disconnecting us and we want to go back to nature. During this ceremony we will share songs (Javia will share Medicine Songs), stories and perform a ritual to help us let go of anything that is not serving us any longer.
Our Guest Facilitator Javia; who is a gifted Intuitive and an experienced teacher will do Aura Readings and host an Aura Reading Workshop. The workshop will help you understand your own energy as well as read others. This is an especially fun, creative and insightful session suitable for anyone. You don’t need to consider yourself highly sensitive or intuitive in order to join.
Sicilian Cooking Class - Explore delicious sicilian cuisine during a private sicilian cooking class.
There will be an optional opportunity to visit the beautiful city Trapani in your afternoon free time where you can stroll and shop.
During your stay, you’ll find moments of stillness and reflection, perfect for journaling, meditating, or simply being. Explore the natural beauty of your surroundings during nature walks, take a dip in the Mediterranean sea or rest in the serene corners of the Retreat space.
Make authentic connections and friendships with women who are on a similar journey. Many of our participants stay connected even post Retreat and become friends for life.
This is an offline journey. We advice you to not bring any work on your laptop with you and there is a strict no phone rule during the healings, ceremonies, activities and meals.
