Wild Woman Unleashed

Three-evening course – Unleash your Wild Woman

During these 3 lavish evenings together with 11 other women you will reminded to what it really means to connect to your feminine power.
Using different ancient feminine goddess archetypes we dive into the feminine psyche.
Into our hearts, our wombs. We liberate our minds, use our voice and sway those round hips. Of course to fully express our inner Goddess we will dance!

Through various breathwork techniques including PSYCHEDELIC BREATH, Transformational Breath and Orgasmic Breath, meditations and visualizations. Through these embodied practices you will experience a release of emotions, gain insights & clarity.
We will share with each other in the sister sharing circles that we start & end every evening with. This sharing has a powerful effect in expression your own voice, your feelings. In being seen, received and supported by the group.

Every evening is supported by a gentle dose of Earth Medicine, each with its unique and subtle properties.

1st Night Tara- We start with connecting to the heart, letting go of self-judgment. Clearing the space creating more lightness.
Self love, body image, compassion. Where can you bring in more kindness? Connecting to the heart- with the warm medicine of Mama Cacao.

2nd Night Kali – We continue by clearing out anger & rage (which is so often so suppressed in women!).
Clarity, burning of the old, feeling your ‘no’. Boundaries keep us healthy & safe. Connecting to the Solar plexus – with the opening medicine of the Truffle.

3rd Night Aphrodite - And end by connecting finally to our powerhouse – our womb where we can start tapping into and using our creative energy. First you get to feel it – before you can use it.
Sensuality, Sexuality, connecting to your life force energy, to pleasure & joy. Connecting to the Womb – with a ephemeral tea of the Blue Lotus flower.

Practical
Every evening is a celebration of the Goddess within and without. You are invited to let yourself shine and dress up in colorful, feminine attire.
You are offered healthy sensual snacks, organic tea and (optional) plant medicine.
Because we start with the medicine & breath practice, please arrive with a not too full stomach. Consider having an early light meal in the afternoon.

WHY
The world has been valuing the masculine paradigm for hundreds of years. We have been focusing on perceiving and interacting with the world with logic, rationality and hard control, solutions focused thinking.

We have forgotten to connect to the Divine Feminine. With he flow of life, the natural cycles. To trust our intuition our inner knowing. To act from unconditional love & compassion. To embodying grace and connecting to the world with an open heart.

It’s time to come back to love.
I want to support women in waking up.
An awakened woman is a wild woman.
Free. Bold. Soft.
A Goddess.
Are you ready for her?

What other have to say about working with Aileen:
‘Thank you Aileen!
Your guidance was so feminine, coming from a place of gentleness & power.
The instructions were very clear.
To me breathwork is allowing yourself to be in a space where you can see your Self clearly- without judgment
As if you can connect to this All-knowing part within yourself - quite instantly.
I arrive in a loving space where every aspect of myself is welcome- with clarity.✨
This clarity shows me where I can grow. 🌱
During the breath session it became clear to me what I need to move forward with my work and my passion’.

‘I have done many types of breathwork.
From Transformational to Rebirthing to Holotropic to Wim Hof breathwork.
In Aileen's breathwork session my favourite elements of all types came together:
clear instructions, well-structured, beautiful music in the background and no spiritual white noise.
With every cycle I went deeper into surrender and my system opened up more to creative life energy’”.
Afterwards I felt awake, blissful and inspired’.

Earth Medicines
About Cacao
Theobroma Cacao, (Latin for ‘Food of the Gods’), has been used for centuries in spiritual practices and rituals. Cacao contains many beneficial minerals. It is really high in magnesium and chromium. It also contains a high amount of calcium, zinc, iron and sulfer. Another amazing fact: it makes us happy. Cacao contains neurotransmitters already present in the brain such as:
~ Norepinephrine (joy)
~ Serotonin (wellbeing)
~ Dopamine (motivation, pleasure)
~ Anandamide (bliss, painkiller)
The ceremonial cacao that I use in my ceremonies comes from Guatamala and is ethically sourced. To protect all the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that are naturally in cacao, it is NOT heat-treated and processed like cocoa or chocolate, and nutritional benefits aren’t reduced.

About Truffles
Truffles contain Psilocybin, which is a natural psychedelic. A microdose (1 gram) is about 1/20 of a full trip dosis, and therefore has a subtle effect. It doesn’t come close to the psychedelic effects of a ‘normal’ dosis. The aim here is to help you fully experience everything that is alive in you, so you are able to process. Rather than mind-altering, the effects of Microdosing are best described as mind enhancing. There have been numerous studies utilising psychedelics like psilocybin (the psychoactive ingredient in hallucinogenic mushrooms and truffles) and they have shown that it has positive effects on depression and anxiety. Although everybody responds different to psychedelics, some of the things people describe are: “positive energy”, “increased levels of creativity”, “focus and flow”, “deeper connection with yourself and others”, “open heart” “heightened senses”, “(suppressed) emotions coming to the surface”, “new ideas and insights”.

About Blue Lotus
Blue lotus flower (Nymphaea caerulea) is a psychoactive plant, also known as blue Egyptian lotus, blue water lily, and sacred blue lily. It’s been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years as a natural aphrodisiac, sleep aid, and anxiety reliever. Blue lotus flower is a water lily that predominantly grows in Egypt and certain parts of Asia. It holds cultural importance, and images of the flower have been found on ancient papyri and on the walls of tombs. Historians believe it was once used in Egypt as a traditional medicine to treat an array of conditions and disorders like anxiety and insomnia It’s known as an entheogenic drug, which is a mind-altering substance believed to alter one’s consciousness in a spiritual or religious manner. This term is commonly used instead of “hallucinogenic” or “psychedelic”. The two main compounds responsible for the flower’s psychoactive and medicinal effects are apomorphine and nuciferine.
• Apomorphine. A psychoactive compound that acts as a dopamine agonist, meaning it can instill a happy and euphoric feeling. It may also help with muscle control in those with conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and erectile dysfunction.
• Nuciferine. A compound thought to act as an antipsychotic drug that induces feelings of calmness through mechanisms that aren’t yet fully understood. It has also been shown to improve symptoms of erectile dysfunction.
Consuming blue lotus flower may make you feel “high” and result in a gentle euphoria.
