Embodied & Empowered
Awaken your inner strength – a transformative journey to self-love and clarity
Imagine,
…, you radiate from within and feel at home in your body
and in harmony with yourself.
…, you know and respect your own needs and set clear boundaries.
…, you let go of old burdens, freeing yourself from everything that's holding you back,
and open yourself to new paths that move you forward instead of limiting you.
When was the last time you truly took time just for yourself – for your body, your mind, your soul?
A whole weekend just for your wellbeing?
For many women, that's an idea that lies outside their comfort zone.
Taking time just for yourself, investing time, energy, and resources, can feel selfish…
But let me tell you: if these very thoughts come up in you,
then NOW is exactly the right moment for a retreat like this.
Making yourself a priority, instead of always putting yourself last.
Recharging your energy and rediscovering a deep connection to yourself.
“In these three days I found more stillness and came back to myself more than I had in years.”
– Zoe F., Austria Retreat participant

Fire Ceremony
The fire ceremony is a powerful ritual that has been used for centuries for transformation and renewal. Fire symbolizes purification and the ability to let go of the old to make room for the new. During the ceremony, you're invited to bid farewell to old patterns, blockages, or emotions by symbolically placing something into the fire that no longer supports you. This process helps you shed emotional burdens and create space for fresh energy and new possibilities.
The ritual begins with an attunement, in which you formulate your intentions and focus on the power of the fire. In a circle of women, a safe and powerful space emerges where you can deeply feel the transformative energy of the fire. This ceremony will support you in letting go inwardly, realigning yourself, and moving forward with clarity and renewal. The fire becomes a symbol of your inner purification and helps you continue your path with more ease and strength.
Workshop "Inner Child & Embodied Empowerment"
This interactive workshop gives you the opportunity to build a deeper connection with your inner child and strengthen your self-confidence. Through targeted exercises and reflection, you'll learn to better understand and clearly communicate your own boundaries and needs.
In a protected space, you can release emotional blockages, leave old patterns behind, and open yourself to more self-confidence and inner strength. Elements such as movement, mindfulness, and bodywork help you unfold your full potential and express yourself more authentically.
Meet Your Inner Child
Working with the inner child is a profound process that takes you on a journey of self-discovery and healing. In this workshop, you'll learn how experiences from your childhood still influence your behavior and emotional reactions today. Many of our deepest behavioral patterns are rooted in childhood experiences, and by recognizing and understanding these patterns, you can consciously change them and experience healing.
Through guided meditations, creative exercises, and deep reflection, you'll connect with your inner child and heal old wounds. The workshop gives you tools to integrate your inner child into everyday life, leading to more compassion, peace, and freedom in your life. This work is essential for personal healing and helps you break old patterns and connect with yourself in a new, loving way.
Breathwork
Breathwork is a powerful method for experiencing deep emotional and physical healing. Through targeted breathing techniques and accompanying music, you'll be guided into a state of deep relaxation and spiritual connection. This transformative breathwork helps you release emotional blockages, free up suppressed feelings, and gain new perspectives on your life.
In this intensive session, you use your breath as a tool for self-healing and inner transformation. During the breathwork session, you may experience emotional breakthroughs that allow you to recognize and release deeply held patterns. It's a physical and emotional journey that connects you with your innermost self and helps you find inner peace and clarity. Breathwork requires dedication, but the transformative power you gain from it will support you long-term.
Cacao Ceremony
The cacao ceremony is an ancient ritual used as heart medicine in indigenous cultures. Cacao opens the heart, fosters joy, unconditional love, and supports mental and emotional healing. In this ceremony, you'll enjoy cacao in a protected circle of women, offering you space to connect with your inner self and with nature.
Cacao has a nourishing effect on a physical level and helps restore emotional balance. In the community of women, you'll experience the magic of togetherness and the transformative power that arises when women come together. This ceremony invites you to connect with the spiritual power of cacao and to experience yourself on a deeper level. It's a ritual of heart-opening that helps you integrate joy, peace, and harmony into your life.
Each of these program elements offers a unique opportunity to grow on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level and to experience profound healing.

Grace is a Mind-Body-Eating coach, yoga teacher, and certified breathwork therapist.
Through her work, she guides women toward greater self-love, trust in their bodies, and inner connection – physically, emotionally, and energetically.
Her own youth was marked by a deep estrangement from her own body. An eating disorder shaped her everyday life, her thoughts, and her self-image – an experience that taught her how burdensome the inner struggle with one's own body can be. At the same time, this very period gave her a deep sense of empathy: for all those who have lost themselves, who can't feel themselves, or who define themselves only through achievement.
Today, her work is an invitation to reconnect: with the body, with intuition, with the self.
She supports women in healing their relationship with food and their bodies – not through control or rigid concepts, but through mindful sensing, emotional clarity, and somatic tools that enable real change.
One of Grace's special passions is the practice of Sacred Self-Touch:
a loving invitation to meet yourself mindfully – through touch, ritual, presence.
Because in a world that constantly tells us how our bodies should look, it is deeply radical to simply feel yourself – in softness, in acceptance, in dignity.
Grace's goal: to empower women to reconnect with themselves – free of guilt or shame, carried by self-compassion, lightness, and inner strength.
With her calming yet encouraging personality, Grace has a special gift for guiding women back to themselves and into their strength and power. Through various activities (yoga, the playfight workshop, the fire ceremony, ...) I learned to look within and feel my body and mind. The fire ceremony was an especially intense experience for me! During the ceremony, Grace stirred up deeply buried feelings and emotions in me, answering many questions (and raising some new ones too 😄). I really enjoyed connecting with the other women during this three-day retreat, laughing and crying together, and completely relaxing while enjoying the great food and the incredibly beautiful location. I would definitely book this retreat again!
A few days after the retreat, I'm still completely overwhelmed by all the positive experiences I got to have. It was my first retreat of this kind, and I got to discover so much that was new, both in general and about myself. In these three days I found real stillness and came back to myself in a way I hadn't in years. I never expected it would still affect me this positively so long afterward, and I'm absolutely blown away. It feels a bit like I'm floating through everyday life on a cloud of gratitude, energy, and happiness, infecting everyone around me with it. To me, Grace is the ultimate powerhouse of a woman, and I deeply admire how well she connected with every single woman in our wonderful group while always staying true to herself. It was so beautiful to laugh, cry, talk, be silent, dance, and share so much more together with all these amazing women on such a special level. Thanks to Grace's wonderful support, you always felt at home and in good hands.
Grace isn't just an incredibly wonderful, inspiring, and strong personality, she also put together an amazing program. She truly has a gift for guiding and helping women on their path of spiritual and personal growth. ❤️ The retreat itself brought me to a place of calm while filling me with so much energy that it's still having an effect on me now. I didn't know anyone there beforehand, and after just a few days I felt so comfortable and at home that I didn't want to leave. I did many things for the first time that weekend (ice bathing, cacao and fire ceremony) and felt Grace's wonderful support through all of it. So much about the retreat inspired me, moved me, challenged me, brought me calm, made me cry, and made me laugh. You get the chance to grow while still being in such wonderful company. Thank you, Grace, for this transformative experience.
Grace is such an energetic person. Her energy is contagious. With her program of yoga, playfight, ceremonies, dance, mindfulness exercises, and the invitation to connect with each other, she helps you come a little closer to your own power, if you want to. She's always attentive and supports you through your process. With so much joy, wit, openness, and empathy, she makes it easy to share both difficult and beautiful things. Thank you for this wonderful and powerful time together. Now I know what I need to do. Sunshine, love, and gratitude – consider yourself hugged.
I am so endlessly grateful that my path led me to Grace, to the wonderful women I got to spend this weekend with, and to the Winklergut. The place has something so magical and healing about it, which made experiencing the various workshops around connection with yourself, your inner world, and others feel even more intense. Mindfulness exercises, so many great conversations, laughing, crying, dancing, and shouting together, lots of yoga – a fire ceremony and a cacao ceremony were part of it too. It felt so good to remember to see both the "I" and the "we", to encourage each other, and to live together through strengths and weaknesses. To not have to hide your true self. Thank you, Grace, you are such an inspiring person. Your special energy, your grounded, open, and genuinely authentic way gave me so much courage – to trust myself even more to be who I am, and to share that with the world too. You radiate so much from the inside and out, and through what you do, you make the world a little bit better.

Grace hat eine unglaubliche Ausstrahlung. Man hat das Gefühl ihr alles erzählen zu können und verstanden zu werden. Das Programm und ihre Tipps sind extrem hilfreich und auch langfristig anwendbar für den Alltag. Dank dem Retreat konnte ich zum ersten Mal spüren, wie es ist mit anderen Frauen die gleiche Energie zu teilen.
Grace hat so eine feine sympathische Art, ein Blick reicht und man muss sie einfach mögen. Sie erkennt die Bedürfnisse der Teilnehmerinnen, ist stets bemüht und hat eine Gabe den Raum zu halten, sodass man sich sicher fühlt und Emotionen zulassen kann. In ihrer Stimme steckt soviel Klarheit, bewundernswert.
