Nele Melkebeke
This retreat is the preliminary culmination of the search for my ‘ikigai’ (my ‘reason to be) and for relief from my vulvar pain. I have been a vulvodynia patient for thirty years in a world where there is a huge taboo on ‘women’s diseases’.
I now want to use this experience and my experience as a coach to support women in their search for understanding, acceptance and relief from their pain. My new home in Granada is the ideal place to bring fellow sufferers and professionals together in a safe environment. Here you can mourn the loss of what your body or you can no longer do. You will also be given tools to stay in the ‘flow’ at home.
Evelien De Wit
I evolved from color and style advisor to health coach and holistic massage therapist. Since 2019 I have been giving tantra-inspired workshops: Yoni & Lingam massage, sweat lodge ceremonies and all kinds of retreats such as Devotion into Pleasure.
My calling is to activate deeper levels of consciousness through surrender to sexual energies. I look forward to connecting you with the magic and alchemy of your Yoni during the vulva retreat through rituals and ceremonies.
My passion is the journey of self-discovery and Sacred Marriage.
My soul mission is to bring back Purity and Holiness; in sexuality, in the connection with the Divine, the earth, ourselves and each other. I want to reconnect people with the art of Devotion.
Retreat burnout
In all the peace and serenity that the Alpujarras have to offer, we help you to look for the reason why you ‘burned out’. We will work in theoretical and practical workshops with the Japanese concept of ‘ikigai’, literally translated as ‘a reason to exist’.
We discover step by step where the intersection of your possibilities, passion and competences lies.
