Dear Sister,
You were born into the feminine not to shy away, not to shrink, but to offer a special gift to this world.
Our world is often overpowered by masculine energy. The masculine is not bad—but when it is balanced, it has nothing to prove. Its beauty shines beside the great feminine. Like Radha and Krishna, they enhance and ornament one another—neither competing, but offering reverence to each other.
The world needs you to shine forth your gifts, to also create a balance . The she power is needed to heal the grieving world .
On this International Women’s Day, I honor you. This poem below is for you.
Women
The resilient species.
Silently we walk,
bearing unseen burdens,
loving unconditionally.
We are the nurturers.
We hold space.
We bear witness.
Our voices are seldom heard,
yet we do not give up.
Our resilience is often unseen.
It takes no glory.
It is survival.
Survival for ourselves as women.
Survival for our children.. We are the bearers of humanity.
Wisdom is held not only in our words,
but in our actions
and in the quiet endurance of our unseen pain.
Our bodies bleed each month.
Our hearts feel the pain and bloodshed of this world.
Our blood represents birth and renewal,
as we give our blood, sweat, and tears
to raise the next generation. Let the blood we bleed
be a celebration of new life.
Today we honor women.
We give thanks
for all the unseen burdens they have carried
and for the resilient love
they continue to offer.
To my grandmothers and ancestors of the past,
and to those who will come after me.
A Women’s Yoga Retreat in Coastal Portugal
Nestled along Portugal’s breathtaking coastline, just 35 minutes from the vibrant city of Lisbon, lies a quiet sanctuary where the wild meets the wise. Welcome to Retreat Oasis Portugal—a sacred refuge in Colares where the Atlantic Ocean whispers to ancient cliffs, and cobbled village paths invite you to slow down and soften into your own rhythms. (https://retreatoasisportugal.com/)
This women’s retreat is an invitation to return to yourself. To dance with the waves of your breath, to explore the wisdom of your body, and to share sacred space with other women on the path of growth, healing, and reclamation.
Throughout our seven days together, we will root into daily yoga, breathwork, meditation, sacred ritual, and creative expression—all designed to reconnect you with the Shakti energy that pulses through everything. This is not just a retreat of rest and rejuvenation—it is a devotional return to your inner temple.
Awakening a connection to Sri Radha, the embodiment of Divine love, devotion, and fierce grace. Through story, mantra, movement, and shared reflection, we will explore how her essence lives within each of us. Just as Radha is inseparable from Krishna, so too are we never apart from the sacred. The Divine Feminine is not something to seek—it is something that lives inside of each one of us. Her grace is awaiting
In every breath, every tide, every tear, and every joyful eruption of laughter, the Shakti reveals Herself through the longing heart. As we soften into sisterhood and shared presence, we begin to untangle ourselves from the demands of performance and return to what is raw, real, and holy within us.
Over seven nourishing days, we will weave together daily yoga, breathwork, sacred rituals, creative exploration, and reflective time in nature. Whether walking the nearby beaches at sunrise, gathering for sunset circles, or resting in silence under the stars, this retreat is your time—to reconnect, recharge, and rise into your essence.
Let Portugal’s wild beauty hold you. Let your spirit be stirred by the salt air. Let your body feel free, grounded, and alive again
