ELEMENTAL IMMERSION: A WOMEN’S RETREAT
Immerse in Nature. Remember Your Wisdom. Return to Yourself.
Elemental Immersion is a deeply nourishing retreat designed to slow you down, ground you, and reconnect you with the living wisdom of nature that lives inside you. Let nature be the remembering.
Held during the transitional season of Autumn, this retreat invites you into the inner autumn cycle: a time of reflection, release, and energetic recalibration. Through earth inspired rituals, yoga, embodiment practices, sisterhood, and slow living, you’ll learn to honor your own seasons of life, just as nature does — instead of rushing your innate rhythm.
“This retreat is about being held by Mother Earth, it’s a remembering.”
- Anayat & Jenny
It’s about slow mornings, softening your nervous system, and immersing yourself in the elements — earth, water, fire, air, and ether to rediscover the parts of yourself that have been forgotten in your fast-paced lifestyle.
Nature becomes both mirror and teacher:
She doesn’t rush
She moves in cycles
She rests when it’s time to rest
She expresses herself freely, wildly, and unapologetically
Here, you’ll remember that you are nature — free, untamed, and wise.
THE ESSENCE OF ELEMENTAL IMMERSION
THE EXPERIENCE:
Throughout the week, we’ll explore different landscapes and elements to awaken different parts of self. You’ll be guided into presence through…
Chakra-based yoga & meditation
Breathwork for nervous system
Somatic & Embodiment Practices
Devotional Rituals & Reflections
Community Living & Integration
Phones are tucked away. Responsibilities are set down. Slow mornings and spacious afternoons are woven throughout — honoring rest as a sacred practice.
This is an invitation to disconnect from the noise — and reconnect to what is real.
YOUR RETREAT SANCTUARY:
Nestled between lake, forest, and mountain, Habitat Lago Maggiore is a consciously designed retreat sanctuary where nature leads the pace. Composed of intimate wood-and-glass dwellings overlooking Lake Maggiore, this eco-luxury space invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the rhythms of the earth. Each space is warm, minimal, and light-filled — offering comfort without excess, and a sense of being both held and free.
Located on the serene Gambarogno Riviera, far from mass tourism, Habitat is surrounded by wild beauty, quiet trails, and ever-changing views of water and sky. Here, nature is not just scenery — it’s a living presence woven into every moment. This land becomes part of the practice, supporting rest, reflection, embodiment, and a deep remembering of your connection to the natural world.

After feeling an undeniable inner pull, she attended 0 0a particularly special retreat with Anayat — an experience that clarified her path and led her to enroll in her 200-hour YTT training.
