IT’S TIME TO RETURN TO YOURSELF
UP to the ROOTS
of the FEMININE
10-15 SEPTEMBER, 2026
Granadilla, Tenerife
Do you feel…
DISCONNECTED FROM YOURSELF
BUSY, OVERWHELMED, AND TIRED, WITH NO TIME TO REST
CONTROLLED BY HORMONAL OR DIGESTIVE HEALTH ISSUES AND MOOD SWINGS?
Then Picture This…
You wake up to the sound of birds. You walk up in silence to an oceanfront yoga shala and observe the sunrise during your morning breathwork practice. Yoga and meditation – guided by experienced, trauma-informed teachers. No performance, but real, traditional, simple teachings.
After your practice, you walk down to the dining hall overlooking the beautiful island of Tenerife. You share a breakfast made with love, surrounded by a group of beautiful women.
Later, you sit in a circle with your intimate, small group and have conversations about Yoga, Ayurveda, Tantra, our hormonal health, ups and downs, challenges, our always-changing, beautiful feminine nature. You learn Ayurvedic recipes to support your hormones. Moon Rituals. Real, grounded support.
Now it is your time to relax. To connect to yourself. To journal, swim in the pool, enjoy the sauna, or receive a massage.
As the sun sets, join a relaxing yoga session: Yin, Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra.
It’s all about slowing down. About reconnecting to our feminine in a grounded, sustainable way. About understanding our playful, beautiful nature.
Dinner by candlelight. A starry night sky without light pollution. Laughter and deep conversations.
After dinner, rest, recharge, or participate in an intimate cacao ceremony, in tantric mantra chanting, or in feminine ecstatic dance.
Finally, you remember who you are.
And you realise: the way back to yourself isn’t that complicated.
It lies in those small, consistent changes towards your best version.
And you will never be left alone – even long after returning home.
It’s Time to Reconnect
Up to the Roots of the Feminine was created for You.
Starting with a New Moon in Virgo, this 5-day retreat was designed so you will leave feeling more deeply connected to your feminine nature and begin to understand your body through a gentler, more intuitive lens.
You will be introduced to the basics of Ayurveda, your unique constitution, and how the elements influence your hormones, emotions, and energy. Through grounding practices of yoga and traditional tantric teachings, you will reconnect to the feminine as something sacred, embodied, and alive within you.
We will explore nervous system regulation, hormonal balance, and cycle awareness in a grounded, accessible way, alongside nourishing Ayurvedic principles and food practices designed to support women’s health. Daily rituals, journaling, and gentle self-practices will help you create more space, presence, and connection in your everyday life.
You will leave with a deeper understanding of your body, your cycles, and your inner rhythms – and with practical tools to support balance, rest, and reconnection in daily life.
More than anything, you will feel more at home within yourself.

What you’ll take home with you
grounding Yoga practices
During these 5 transformative days, we will journey into the heart of practicing yoga as a transformational tool.
Each day will include 2 asana practices (energising and restorative), and we will dive deep into meditation and breathwork.
We will explore the origins of Tantra Yoga and understand the philosophy behind the Divine Feminine.
By the end of our time together, you will understand how yoga extends far beyond the movements on the mat and how to incorporate slow, grounding practices into your daily life to balance your hormones, your digestion, and your nervous system.
Knowledge of Ayurveda for women
We will explore the ancient healing wisdom of Ayurveda, morning routines and cleansing practices, and learn how to integrate Ayurvedic self-care rituals into your daily lives.
In an Ayurvedic cooking workshop, you will learn recipes that support your digestive and hormonal system. You will also learn how to do a kitchari gut reset at home.
You will discover your dosha and receive guidance on how to bring balance and harmony into your body by understanding how each element affects your menstruation and mood.
You will also learn how to align your life with the cycles of the Moon.
Understanding & Connection to the Feminine
You will begin to deepen your understanding and connection to the feminine – not as something external to reach, but as something already alive within you.
The rhythms of nature, the diversity of the island, and the remote volcanic landscape create the perfect setting to turn inward, soften, and slow down. Being close to the volcano invites a deeper connection to the elements – grounding into earth, fire, and water – and awakening a sense of inner strength and feminine power.
Through shared practices and the support of a circle of women, you will begin to feel and remember how powerful you truly are. In this space, every voice matters, every emotion is welcome, and every woman is heard and seen.
When a woman reconnects to her feminine, she remembers that her body is not a problem to fix,
but a home to return to.

Location: the beautiful Tenerife
Tenerife is known as the Heart Chakra of the world — a powerful island where all five elements come together in perfect harmony.
The rhythms of nature, the diversity of the island, and the remote location make this place a perfect ground for turning inward, finding silence, and slowing down.
The ocean Water cleanses the Earth of the island grounds; the volcano embodies Fire and transformation, while the Air, the gentle winds, helps us to flow.
Tenerife is a place where fire and water meet, inspiring Pitta, the dosha of change and transformation.
From the desert to the lush jungle, we will experience the different faces of nature and of ourselves.
The Virgo New Moon
Our retreat begins under the energy of the New Moon in Virgo – a time traditionally connected with new beginnings, renewal, and planting seeds for the future.
Virgo invites us to slow down, listen deeply to our bodies, and create loving rituals that support our wellbeing. This grounding Earth energy beautifully supports our journey of reconnecting with the feminine, nurturing ourselves, and honoring the wisdom of our natural cycles.
Together, we will use this moment as an invitation to release what no longer serves us and consciously step into a new chapter of self-connection, balance, and inner harmony.
a real, grounded home: Casa Jio
Casa Jio is a beautiful house resting at the bottom of the volcano, Mount Teide, which is the highest peak in Spain, and one of the most powerful energy centers in the world.
Thanks to its location, history and the people behind, the house has a special energy that everyone who visits it experiences. Many people describe it as a source of grounding, transformation, and a warm home, perfectly aligning with the island’s Heart Chakra energy.
Casa Jio is more of a home than a simple house. Thanks to its warm energies, it gives place to various transformational retreats throughout the year. It’s a place where we all gather together and become one big family.
The house offers a pool and a beautiful yoga shala with ocean view, a garden, a sauna, spacious and cozy common areas, a kitchen, 2 single and 4 double rooms, and 5 shared bathrooms. It is located in the South of the island, close to the volcano, above the city of Granadilla. Casa Jio is located in a very peaceful environment, far away from the noise.
Meet The Facilitators
Petra
Hi! My name is Petra, and first of all, I am grateful to have you here.
My story began a long time ago, when I started to practice yoga at the age of 17. From looking at yoga from the physical side to experiencing all its benefits in my life, during these years, I understood that Yoga is Life. It is the way you behave, wake up, treat others and yourself.
Yoga opened many doors for me: I moved to the deep jungle of Costa Rica, where I deeply connected to nature. I studied and started to live my life according to Ayurveda, which healed me from several hormonal and skin diseases. I traveled the world to learn more about different spiritual practices like Reiki, Kundalini, Yoga Nidra and Traditional Tantra Yoga. I got certified as a 500-hour multi-style yoga teacher in India. I am dedicating every single morning to my Sadhana (spiritual practice), including meditation, breathwork and movement. Day by day, I am learning to slow down, to connect to the receptive, feminine version of myself, which opens more and more doors to healing and hearing inner my voice.
Since the beginning of 2026, I have been a student of Ayurveda Gynecology & Hormonal Health.
I am passionate about cooking, practicing, teaching, and forever studying. After feeling confused by the spiritual noise out there and overwhelmed by all the different practices I tried out, I finally understood: spiritualism is simple, and the way back to yourself is shorter than you think. Those consistent, simple daily practices and connection to nature helped me to change my life and become the best version of myself.
I am truly excited to share this experience with you, and I believe that together we can rise up to our feminine roots, to our powerful, beautiful, true selves.
Celine
My name is Celine, and I began my yoga journey at 19. What started as a physical practice soon became so much more than movement. It turned into a path of self-discovery, helping me find calm, clarity, and trust in life beyond the mat.
Curiosity took me to India, where I deepened my studies and completed training in Multi-Style Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Pre- & Postnatal Yoga, as well as an Ayurveda course. Each of these experiences opened a new layer of understanding about the connection between physical, mental and emotional well-being.
A central part of my path has been my connection to the feminine body and its cycles. After many years of experiencing hormonal imbalances and missed periods, I was led into a deeper exploration of women’s health, cyclical living, and the wisdom of the female body.
I now work as a Medical Massage Therapist, offering treatments that help calm the nervous system, which is essential for hormonal balance and overall well-being.
I’m truly looking forward to sharing this space with you and exploring the connection to the feminine together.
Beautiful words from beautiful women
From the moment we arrived, I felt that this was something different, something new. Everyone was smiling, cheerful, kind, and accepting. Not for a single minute did I feel uncomfortable — not even a little bit. I learned so much about myself, and since then I often recall moments that happened there. Whenever I bring back one of those memories, I’m filled with happiness and an immeasurable sense of gratitude that all of this truly happened to me. When I first saw Petra’s advertisement for the retreat, I felt the calling and knew that no matter what, I had to be there. I wholeheartedly recommend that everyone take part in retreats like this. It is a true recharge for the soul! Every single person in the group was kind, and I’m so happy that I got to meet them. Petra and Celine have incredible knowledge, and they share it exactly as it should be shared. The retreat was very well organized. They paid attention to every detail. I would also like to especially highlight the chefs and everyone working there, who were also incredibly kind. The food was absolutely delicious — I loved it. I feel completely recharged and enriched with so many beautiful experiences that I recall with a smile. I am extremely grateful and happy. Thank you, Petra, Celine, all the participants, and everyone I met during the retreat.

I had a wonderful time. Petra is amazing. This retreat was an inspiring, enriching experience. What I love the most about it is Petra’s essence really showed in her attitude towards the whole idea of the retreat: There is structure but there is also flexbility and space for everybody’s needs. There is a lot of respect for the practice and the philosophy of yoga and its origins, meaning, and legacy. But there is also a deep understanding of the diversity of each person’s level of knowledge or experience, which turns it into a very kind, compassionate environment. And there is space for playfulness, laughter, lightness, critical thinking, questioning. Basically her and Celine made it an unforgettable experience and I can’t wait to join them again. Thank you!!!

Reclaiming the Feminine
Across many ancient traditions, the feminine was deeply honored as a source of intuition, creation, nourishment, wisdom, and life itself.
In tantra yoga, rituals celebrated the feminine as a body that is a gateway to life.
In ancient Latin American cultures, the feminine body, our womb, was believed to be able to collect energy and cleanse it out for the whole community.
In Ayurveda, the womb is perceived as the only organ that is capable of bringing life and cleansing itself when creation doesn’t happen.
According to evolutionary stories, women were meant to collect fruits, spend time in the community, and protect the children.
Women were meant to rest, to spend time together, to protect their bodies, which is the most magical tool in this whole universe.
Yet, modern life pulls women away from their natural rhythms, into constant pressure, overstimulation, productivity, and disconnection from the body.
We all know: the time has come to reconnect.
