Immersion into the Feminine
A profound journey of the expanded beauty of the feminine
14 – 20th June 2027 | Provence, France
There is a call in your heart, an invitation to return home to yourself, to your body, and to the deep wisdom that has always lived within.
The feminine lives in many expressions. In the softness that allows us to receive, and in the wildness that refuses to be tamed. In our intuition, creativity, sensuality and devotion. In the moments we feel deeply connected to ourselves, and in those when we lose that connection and long to find our way back.
It is not about being a certain kind of woman. It is about having the freedom to be all that you are.
A Sanctuary of the Feminine
This immersion is a space to reconnect with these parts of ourselves. To step away from the roles and responsibilities of everyday life and spend time in nature, in ritual, in movement, and in the company of other women.
A time to slow down, to listen to your body, your heart, to express what you feel and to explore parts of yourself that may not always have room in everyday life. So that you may remember what has always been there.
Together, in the sacred landscapes of Provence, we gather to explore the expanded beauty of the feminine: the tenderness, the strength, the sensuality, the vulnerability and the wildness. Without needing to be one way or another, or to fit into anyone’s idea of what it means to be a woman.
Reviews
— Ina 38, Immersion —
“During this immersion, I discovered how deeply rooted my pattern of putting others before myself really was. Through the rituals and the work with the group, I began to recognise how often I had sacrificed my own needs without even realising it. I came away with a stronger sense of my own worth and the understanding that I no longer need to abandon myself for anyone. I feel more confident expressing what I want and standing up for myself. Most importantly, I experienced how powerful it is to be supported and held by a group of women in a safe space.”

“I discovered how much of my life I had spent keeping myself small, suppressing parts of who I am because I didn’t feel loved or safe enough to be fully visible. Through the rituals, the connection with Maria Magdalena and the deep support of the women around me, something began to shift. I feel much freer now to be myself, trust my intuition and express what I truly feel without fear. For me, this wasn’t about a wild feminine, but a soft feminine. A tenderness that opens your heart and gives you access to the unique woman within you.”

“This immersion gave me the space to honour a new chapter in my life, letting go of the role of always carrying or taking responsibility for others. I discovered that I can support the people I love without taking over their journeys, and that I can trust both myself and them to find their own way. I feel more at peace with where I am in life, more accepting of myself and deeply grateful for the experiences I have had. The connection between the women, the rituals and the feeling of sisterhood made this experience truly special.”

Sacred sites & pilgrimage
Throughout the immersion, we journey to sacred places deeply connected with the feminine: the Grotto of Sainte Marie Madeleine and the hidden Yoni Cave, also known as the Cave of the Egg.
For centuries, people have travelled to Sainte-Baume in devotion and prayer, drawn by the story of Mary Magdalene and her connection to this landscape. Her presence is still felt in the traditions surrounding these places, and in the many ways women have come here seeking something of their own.
There are different traditions surrounding Mary’s life across Egypt, England, Provence and Languedoc, often interwoven with older feminine lineages, including those connected to Isis. We approach these stories with openness and curiosity, without needing to arrive at one particular understanding. Each woman is free to find her own relationship with the places we visit and what they bring up in her.
Morning ritual
Each morning begins with a walk through the forest surrounding Saint-Baume. With our feet on the earth and the fresh mountain air filling our lungs, we take our time arriving into the day.
We gather around sacred cacao before entering the Yoni Cave, a place long associated and connected with rebirth and remembrance. Through meditation, voice work, ceremony and ritual, we spend time listening inward and allowing ourselves to be with whatever is present.
These mornings are a chance to slow down, leave the demands of everyday life behind for a while and begin the day together, in the quiet of the forest and the intimacy of our circle.
Daytime practices
The days unfold through a balance of practice, reflection and rest. Together, we explore breathwork, energy work, movement, dance, shamanic journeys, ritual and voice work. Some practices invite us to move, express and explore, while others offer time to be still and listen. We make space for different experiences, allowing each woman to follow her own rhythm rather than having to keep up with a fixed programme.
Nature remains a companion throughout these days, with time to walk, rest, enjoy the surroundings and simply be.
Evening Integration
Evenings offer time to nourish both body and soul. Seasonal meals, lovingly prepared, bring us together around the table, sharing food, conversations and the simple pleasure of being together.
Through sharing circles, sound journeys, creative expression and reflection, we have space to share what has moved us during the day, or simply to listen to one another. As the day comes to a close, we rest beneath the stars of Provence, with time to ourselves and to each other, allowing the experiences of the day to settle.
Where presence meets transformation
GET TO KNOW
Florine Gabriel
For as long as I can remember, I experienced life through a sensitivity that felt both natural and difficult to explain. As a child, I sensed things before I understood them. I felt what moved beneath words, what remained unspoken, and the deeper currents shaping people, relationships, and life itself.
Like many people, I learned to adapt. To trust what could be explained more than what could be sensed. Yet that knowing never disappeared. Yet that knowing never disappeared. It remained with me, even during the years when I didn’t know what to do with it.
That recognition changed how I understood transformation. I began to see that clarity is rarely something we create. More often, it becomes available when what is not ours begins to fall away.
Over time, I came to understand how important it is to live in a way that feels true to who we are. It takes honesty and courage, particularly when this means questioning roles and expectations we have grown accustomed to.
Through years of facilitating immersions, group processes, and one-to-one work, I began to recognise something similar in the people who came to me. Most were not lacking insight, intelligence, or capability.
Often, they had simply lost touch with what they knew beneath the expectations and demands of daily life.
Through my work in embodiment, systemic constellations, breathwork, energetic awareness, mindfulness, and relational inquiry, my understanding continued to deepen. Each approach offers a different way of exploring ourselves, our patterns and our relationships, and of recognising what may have been difficult to see before.
In my work with women, I have become increasingly interested in the relationship between the body, our inner knowing and the ways we have learned to experience ourselves as women. This immersion brings together many strands of my work, as well as my own exploration of the feminine.
My work is not about helping people become someone else. It is about creating the conditions in which they can return to what has always been present. Those who work with me often describe feeling deeply seen, gently challenged, and supported in meeting themselves with greater honesty and compassion.
I have seen time and again that clarity does not come from forcing an answer. It often comes when we become quiet enough to listen to what is already there.
“My work is not about helping people become someone else. It is about creating the conditions in which they can return to what has always been present.”
This immersion is a calling for heart-led women who feel drawn to explore the wisdom, power, wildness and tenderness of their feminine nature.
This is an invitation to step into a sacred circle of women, to be seen, to share, to listen and to spend time together.
Through ritual, movement, breathwork, meditation, voice and sharing, we explore the feminine in its many expressions. There will be moments of connection and expression, moments of stillness, and time to be with yourself. We visit sacred places, share meals, spend time in nature and make room for experiences that everyday life rarely allows.
You don’t need to arrive with a particular intention, nor do you need to fit any idea of what a woman should be. Come with your curiosity, your questions, your tenderness, your strength, or simply a wish to take this time for yourself.
The venue
The Immersion into the Feminine takes place over seven days and six nights in a peaceful sanctuary nestled in the green mountains of the South of France. Surrounded by nature and open views, it offers a welcome distance from the pace and demands of everyday life.
The sanctuary lies within walking distance of Sainte-Baume, a sacred place closely associated with Mary Magdalene and a destination of pilgrimage for centuries.
Each day, our chef Julie prepares seasonal, locally sourced meals with care. Her cooking is grounding and vibrant, bringing pleasure and nourishment to the time we share around the table.
The setting is part of the experience: the forest, the mountains, the silence, the food and the company of other women. A place to spend a week immersed in the practices, the landscape and the circle we create together.
Transport & Travel
Nestled in the peaceful mountains of the South of France, can be reached in several ways. By car from Holland (around 1,222 km from Utrecht) or Belgium, the drive can become a reflective journey, giving you time to slow down and arrive fully present. You can also travel together with other participants, sharing the start of the experience.
Flights to Marseille are another option, with transfers arranged independently.
Wherever your journey begins, let it be a gentle opening, an invitation to leave the outside world behind and arrive ready to step into the fullness of the feminine.
We’ve been conditioned to value only what can be seen and touched. Now is the time to anchor deeply into the invisible, where the truth of life speaks louder.
