She is whispering through the water...
Calling from the sands...
Rising in your bones.

This is more than a retreat. This is a pilgrimage.

A return to the sacred feminine through temple, water, and womb.
A descent into the ancient memory you’ve carried across lifetimes.
A softening into stillness.
And a rise into soul-rooted, voice-activated power.

The Nile remembers her name.
Do you remember yours?

Why This Journey Is Different…

Introducing The Womb Awakening Women’s Retreat + 4-Month Integration Support

Most retreats offer rest.
This one offers remembrance.

You won't just see Egypt.
You will be seen by Egypt — as the woman you’re becoming.

This is for the woman who is no longer satisfied with surface-level healing.
She’s ready to descend into her truth, remember her womb's voice, and stand in soul-rooted power.

You’ll move through a sacred rite of passage:

Descent: shadow and shedding along the Nile
Stillness: feminine restoration in Fayoum Oasis
Ascent: voice, vision, and visibility in Cairo

Each step is guided by the land itself — water, stone, sound, and sisterhood.

Why I Chose Egypt?

A Land That Sees Me

The Land That Remembers for You

Egypt has called to me for years — not just as a place of beauty, but as a place of remembrance.

There is something about the air, the temples, the desert stillness…
that speaks directly to the womb, to the soul, to the woman within me who is ancient and alive.

In Egypt, I felt my voice return.
My body softened.
My spirit rose.

It is a land where the divine feminine was once honored as sacred. That memory still lives in the stones, the waters, and the wind.

I chose Egypt because she chose me first.
And now, I am answering her by returning again. Bringing the women who are ready to remember with me and willing to be truly seen..

This is more than a retreat destination. It’s a true spiritual portal. Egypt’s energy will meet you at the depth you’re willing to go.

The Healing Arc: A 3-Part Feminine Initiation

DESCENT | She Who Remembers

April 1– 6 | Luxor to Aswan on Dahabiya Faiyrouz You begin by releasing what no longer serves. Through temple visits, womb clearing rituals on the Nile, and moonlit shadow work under the stars, you reconnect with your ancient knowing.
You can’t rise until you remember who you are beneath the layers.
STILLNESS | She Who Listens

April 7 – 9 | Fayoum Desert Oasis
In the quiet of the desert, you come home to your body. Here, you integrate, rest, and receive. You learn the sacred art of listening — to the land, to yourself.
Healing doesn’t rush. This is where your nervous system exhales and your intuition speaks clearly.
ASCENT | She Who Rises

April 10 – 12 | Cairo: Saqqara, Giza, Sphinx
You return to the world as who you’ve become. In private pyramid ceremonies and soul activation rituals, you reclaim your voice and your visibility.
This is your resurrection. You leave no longer seeking the light, but shining as it.

Who is this For…

And why it’s time.

This journey is for the woman who knows there’s more. Whose womb is whispering. Whose voice is rising.
For the woman who’s done with shrinking, pleasing, and pretending.

She may not have it all figured out AND she knows she’s being called.
Called to remember.
Called to rise.
Called to return.

You belong here if you…

⟢ Feel spiritually, ancestrally, or energetically drawn to Egypt
⟢ Want a deeper relationship with your womb & feminine power
⟢ Crave embodied healing, not just mindset work
⟢ Desire sacred sisterhood and ceremony
⟢ Are willing to stand more fully in your voice, your presence, your soul-led life

Because you don’t have to do this alone. You were never meant to.

WHAT YOU’LL RECEIVE — AND WHAT IT AWAKENS IN YOU…

This is not a retreat filled with endless activities or performative healing.
It’s a sacred container — curated with reverence, spaciousness, and deep intentionality.

Every element has been chosen to serve your remembrance:
Where you stay. What you practice. What you witness. What you release.

Because what you receive here is…
LIBERATION.

Here’s what’s waiting for you:

⟢ 12 Days / 11 Nights in Sacred Egypt

Stay in intentional, soul-nourishing sanctuaries selected for their beauty, history, and energetic alignment:

The historic Pavillon Winter Palace in Luxor, a royal-era haven of timeless charm
The private chartered Dahabiya Faiyrouz, a graceful and elevated vessel sailing the Nile in sacred stillness
Lazib Inn & Spa, your serene desert refuge in the heart of Fayoum
The iconic Mena House, nestled at the feet of the Great Pyramid — where ancient energy meets luxury

→ Why it matters: Each space is a feminine sanctuary designed to cradle your unfolding. You’ll be wrapped in comfort, support and beauty as you do the deep work of becoming.

⟢ Private Sacred Site Access + Temple Immersions
Gain rare, private access to Egypt’s most powerful energetic portals as the High Priestess you are.
Step into the chambers of the Great Pyramid, meet the gaze of the Sphinx, and activate ancient codes at Saqqara, Karnak, Luxor, Isis Temple, and more.

→ Why it matters: These are initiations. You will be seen by the land, remembered by your lineage, and reconnected to the sacred feminine that lives in your bones.

⟢ Daily Womb + Somatic Practices
Be guided through embodied group healing sessions that return you to yourself — breathwork, sound healing, womb clearings + activations, nervous system restoration, devotional movement, and sacred anointing rituals woven into the rhythm of each day.

→ Why it matters: These are practices that reconnect you to your body as your compass. So you no longer look outside for the answers you already carry within.

⟢ Soul-Led Yoga + Feminine Movement with Kirstin
Experience yoga flows designed for feminine bodies, led by guest facilitator Kirstin Benish while present with the Nile’s beauty.

→ Why it matters: You’ll soften, open, and rebuild your relationship with your body as a sacred home — one breath, one shape, one sensation at a time.

⟢ Healing Sisterhood + Sacred Ceremony
Gather in circles of trust to be witnessed, held, and celebrated by women walking the path with you. Through rituals by moonlight, water, and sunsets, you’ll be invited to show up fully and be seen.

→ Why it matters: Healing in community reminds you that you’re not alone and rewires belonging. Your grief, joy, rage, play, and power are all welcome here.

⟢ Legacy Photography + Sacred Capturing
Be photographed in your becoming by Kirstin. With your consent, intentional images will be captured throughout the journey — plus three signature photoshoots at Fayoum Oasis, the Pyramids, and the Sphinx.

→ Why it matters: To be seen through the lens of love is a reclamation. These images are keepsake reflections of the love, power, and beauty radiating in your pureness.

⟢ Monthly Pre-Retreat Support & 4-Month Post-Retreat Integration
Your journey doesn’t just start and end in Egypt — it deepens. Pre‑Retreat Support: Monthly group connection call + WhatsApp community (entry on a rolling basis) plus one private 90-min welcome session. Receive 4 months of sacred support to anchor everything you’ve awakened with a continued WhatsApp community + two private 90-min sessions. Gentle prompts to carry your work home. Add on option limit 4 women — High Priestess Path (VIP upgrade) including bi-weekly 90‑minute 1:1 mentorship for 4 months, private on‑the‑Nile ceremony with Rachel, a ritual kit, and more.

Newly launched teak dahabiya Fayrouz with blue-lotus touches—a private Nile sanctuary for a women’s spiritual retreat.

Introducing the Dahabiya Faiyrouz — Our Floating Sanctuary

Handcrafted in natural teak, the newly launched Dahabiya Faiyrouz (≈6 months young when we sail) is being consecrated as a sanctuary: crystal-sealed floors, soft blue-lotus touches, and cabins intentionally attuned to distinct crystal energies. A temple on water.

Why it matters: We chose slow, private river travel so your nervous system can exhale. The Nile becomes your teacher, the deck your altar, and your cabin a cocoon for deep rest and remembrance.

Onboard rituals you’ll receive:

Blue Lotus Welcoming (tea + breath + intention)
Womb-on-Water evening circle (sound/voice + rose anointing)
Moonlit Movement + Silence during the Full Moon window including the 04/04 portal

Gentle safety note: Faiyrouz sails with a seasoned crew and calm-water navigation.

Pre-Retreat & 4-Month Integration

Because transformation doesn’t start & end in Egypt — it roots there.

As soon as you say “YES,” the journey starts. You’ll notice shifts happening, challenges, and opportunities presenting themselves. You deserve to have a space where you feel held and connected prior to meeting in Egypt. That’s why you’ll receive ongoing monthly group support and a welcome session.

And as the retreat ends…

The deepest healing often happens after the dust settles.
After you return home.
After the temples become memories — and your body begins to embody the shift.

This is where our integration begins.

To honor your evolution, this retreat includes 4 months of sacred support to help you ground your transformation, navigate your next chapter, and stay connected to your womb wisdom.

What’s Included:

⟢ Pre-Retreat Support (group)
Monthly connection call (group) + WhatsApp community space from the moment you say yes, so you arrive resourced and in relationship.

⟢ Private Welcome Session (one) One 90 minute 1:1 before we depart—your personalized intention-setting and nervous-system prep.

⟢ Post-Retreat Integration Sessions (two)
True transformation unfolds over time. These one-on-one sessions are a sanctuary for your integration — a space to be seen, supported, and guided as you continue becoming the woman Egypt awakened in you.

⟢ Private WhatsApp Community
Stay connected with your sisters, share wins and wobbles, and receive loving accountability in a space where your voice remains welcomed long after the retreat ends.

⟢ Integration Practices + Prompts
Receive gentle, somatic-based practices and reflective prompts designed to help you land fully in your body, voice, and vision — and stay there.

⟢ VIP Path (limited)
Bi-weekly 90-minute 1:1 mentorship for 4 months, an on-the-Nile private session, and a ritual kit. [VIP specifics below]

This isn’t just about what happens in Egypt.
It’s about who you become when you choose you by saying yes and in the months that follow when you return home— and how deeply you’re supported in embodying her.

You came for a retreat.
You’ll leave with a reclamation.

This journey is designed to move you through a feminine rite of passage — from shadow into softness, from stillness into sovereignty.

Here’s what lives on the other side:

𖤓A Clearer Connection to Your Womb Wisdom

You’ll leave Egypt with a deepened relationship to your own womb — your inner compass, your place of creation, your source of truth.

“I no longer ask for permission. I listen to my womb and she tells me everything.”

𖤓Liberation From What No Longer Serves You

Through temple rituals, sacred water, and shadow circles, you will release old patterns, stories, and wounds held in the body — many that are not even yours.

You’ll shed the masks.
You’ll stop performing.
You’ll remember.

𖤓 Nervous System Restoration + Feminine Embodiment

This is a retreat that returns you to your body.
You’ll experience somatic healing through:

Breathwork by desert lakes
Restorative yoga
Rituals with anointing oils and sacred water
Deep exhale time — with no pressure to perform

Your body will learn what it feels like to trust again.

𖤓 Ancestral Awakening + Feminine Lineage Healing

The land of Egypt holds keys to your own soul’s memory — whether through visions, dreams, or unexplainable recognition.

You’ll walk where priestesses once stood.
You’ll call in the women who came before you.
You’ll remember that you are never alone.

𖤓 Clarity of Voice, Vision + Soul-Led Power

In Cairo, you will stand before the Great Pyramid, the Sphinx, and your own inner fire — and something will shift.

“I see myself now and I am no longer afraid to be seen.”

You’ll return home with clarity, courage, and the energetic imprint of your next chapter.

This retreat is a ceremony. A threshold. A sacred mirror.
And it is waiting for you to say yes to the woman you’re becoming.

MEET YOUR HOST BEHIND WOMB AWAKENING RETREATS

Rachel Green, founder of Shine Empowerment & Healing, gif of her in different nature environments, wearing vibrant colors and calming blue

I'm a Certified Somatic Womb Healing Guide and Intuitive Coach devoted to guiding women back home to reclaim their body, voice, and inner power.

My work is rooted in a holistic approach tuning in to womb healing, energetics, somatic practices, and ancestral connection. I support women in releasing generational & stored trauma, unraveling limiting beliefs, illuminating & embracing the shadow, and stepping into lives of deep presence, emotional clarity, and embodied empowerment.

But my journey didn’t start here — it began with my own unraveling.

For years, I struggled with boundaries, various forms of trauma, self-doubt, and survival-mode living. Since 2018, I’ve walked a powerful healing journey and continue to — guided by the wisdom of my womb and the sacred practice of returning to myself.

Along the way, I’ve received deep teachings in healing my sexual, childhood, generational, and ancestral trauma, building confidence, cultivating financial empowerment, and reconnecting with my body and the medicine of my lineage.

Since my early childhood, I’ve traveled through 26 countries and lived in 10 of them. This global pilgrimage is part of my soul’s mission — to learn from the land, honor ancient lineages, and carry forward wisdom that transcends borders. The Earth herself has been my greatest supporter and teacher.

This calling led me to create my Womb Awakening Women's Retreats — sacred journeys to places that have held my womb through profound transformation. Each destination is not only energetically potent, but also personally connected to my lineage and healing:

Egypt whispered to my third eye — awakening vision, intuition, and ancient memory

Mexico softened and strengthened my heart — holding grief, joy, and devotion

Spain called to my womb — grounding me into my body, ancestry, and sacred feminine fire

These retreats are a weaving of all I’ve learned — from the lands I’ve walked to the healings I've received to the women I’ve served. They’re intimate, intentional, and deeply transformational.

In every offering, we co-create a space where your body is honored, your emotions are welcome, and your womb is listened to as the wise oracle she is.

My deepest belief is that every woman deserves to feel whole just as she is, safe within her body and FREE. To live a life led not by fear, but by truth. A life where your inner voice is clear, your boundaries sacred, and your power embodied.

Wherever you are in your journey — you are so welcome here.

Let’s walk this path of shedding and awakening our wombs together.
