Women's Mysteries is a five-day residential retreat, which takes women into the
mysteries of the feminine and touches upon the significant points throughout a
woman's life cycle. It is a spiritual initiatory process into ancient women's
knowledge. As a woman comes to understand her own journey she is able to
complete the unfinished transitions of the past that have been barriers and
interferences to her natural unfolding. Women with babes-in-arms are welcome
on the retreat.
The retreat offers an opportunity for you to take a few days out,
simply to be with your self, to regroup your thoughts, to explore your inner
life as a woman.
In Women's Mysteries, through meditation, music, stories,
sharing and laughter, you will sit with a group of women and delve into many
areas concerning our lives as women, - birth, fertility, relationship,
sexuality, work and creativity, and many many more of life's experiences.
Dr. Sarah Buckley GP, mother and author of
'Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering' says of Rachana's work - 'Rachana has been my friend and teacher for almost 14 years. Her work is
unparalleled in my experience, and is the foundation of my own work as mother,
lover, writer, and healer. She creates an amazing opportunity to dive into the
feminine, experience the mystery and magic and, if you want it, profound
healing. As my sister-in-law told me 'five days with Rachana is like five years
of psychotherapy'.

Dear Rachana,
Twice recently (in the past week) I've had occasion to appreciate - all over
again - how much I gained, or learned, by sitting in the circle with you. The
personal gains go (almost) without saying - these awareness's have come in a
professional context.
Twice I've had clients present with material that I've doubted I could offer
anything, and both times, after hearing the story, I've realised that the
experiences in the circle provided me with the context and information that was
needed. No mystery, just people's bodies telling them (or trying to tell them)
what they needed and had to do.
So thank you for everything. Life is good. I seem to be able to handle whatever
comes my way. I don't think for a moment that I've got it all sewn up, but I
feel comfortable with the ups and downs - more trusting and at ease with myself.
Love Deb White.
"This
Program has given me access to deep levels of
self knowledge. It has helped me to let go of
fear and shame associated with the past, and
opened doors to happiness and blissful
experiences. I am deeply grateful for the
opportunities Women's Mysteries offered to me
over the last 12 years."
Karen
Rees, Marriage Celebrant, Mother, Company
Director.
"At
Women's Mysteries I left the world behind. I
connected with women's stories, I showered in
the waterfall, I found a wisdom inside me that I
couldn't access before, I let go of the pain my
body held. I cried and laughed, I loved, I
received, I nourished and opened myself to more
light than I've ever known before.
Cindy,
mother of 2 teenagers, Professional Counsellor.
"I
was always looking outside myself for the source
to my wants and needs. Now I know that the
answers lie within. I can truly love myself and
trust my inner wisdom.
A
deep meditative experience and profound sharing
with others. Face the fears and be transformed".
Jane
Bradshaw, Registered Nurse
"I
have felt for the first time what it feels like
to be present with the loving grace and divine
power of femininity. Hugs and Thank you".
Myra
"Women's
Mysteries for me is a placeI come home
to when I need guidance, renewal and vision. It
is a place where I am supported in totality, to
reach into the depths and out to the heights of
my being to retrieve the wisdom I need and the
wisdom I am".
"Doing
Women's Mysteries has 'begun-me' on a journey of
discovery of who I really am - I am amazed at my
potential, and that of other women. It's
actually in each of us!
Circle
work with Rachana allows you to discover and
learn. I am learning what my mother 'should'
have taught me, but couldn't because she'd not
been taught by her mother."
Linda
Pittard, Tasmania
"During
Women's Mysteries I remembered the exquisite
feeling of coming home to myself, my feminine
loving full self and my gratitude for this work
and Rachana's teaching and guidance is deepened
even more. With Love"
