Waking Woman Celebration
Czech Republic
22-28 July 2024
New date soon
Coming together as women is not only a beautiful thing, but very much needed in these times of great transformation of old paradigms.
Where we as women have to place ourselves in the world with all our strength and vulnerability, all our gifts and longings. We live in a time where the feminine nature wants to manifest and establish new ways of relating, of moving through life.
This is for men and women equally, but if we can step into our nature as women, this already moves so much around us, and it is our responsibility to hold ourselves as we are.
This is where coming together in this circle becomes important, as we are mirrors to each other, and inspire each other.
This retreat is an invitation to women of all ages, and also this is a wonderful opportunity to share deep experiences and nature with your mothers, daughters, sisters.
This enables you to deeply bond with each other, with your own lineage.
Break me
Shed the layers that hold me
Behold me – with all that isMake my wounds into the beauty
Of opening and closing
And opening. AgainTruly let me witness this breaking – open –
Spiralling through, down and around
All the way into the center of my beingMake my flesh and bones become one
Exchanging space with all the spaces in between
Re-awakening what has been forgottenNot only is this moment a remembrance
Of what has come before
It also gives way to anticipationOf longing wanting to belong
Of tenderness wishing to be touched upon
And of knowing wanting to be acknowledgedBreak me
Open me
Guide meTake me by the hands
Caroline S’Jegers
And crack me wide open
So my heart can lead me the way

About Organic Farm Soběsuky
WE CREATE PARADISE ON EARTH. WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THIS PIECE OF NATURE.
The organic farm is located on the border between the village of Soběsuki and the surrounding forests, meadows and fields. 70 km from the German border.
Looking at the panoramas of the Plánický ridge fills you with a feeling of freedom and connection with nature. You will be pampered by peace surrounded by trees, herbs, a permaculture garden, a pond, animals and natural materials used.
Here you can experience, for example, an outdoor wedding with a ceremony among birch trees and a view of the region, followed by a celebration and barefoot dancing in the grass. Or as a participant in one of our courses, or with a group of your friends during a weekend stay.
Our wish is for it to reach the right people at the right moment and thus fulfill its purpose.

OUR HOSTS
Angelika Baumbach
Throughout her life there has always been two paths that interweave each other, music and the deep work with people in its many facets. She has been part of retreats for inner growth and community of all kinds since childhood, started leading children’s camps as a teenager, and has created and led Waking Woman retreats since many years.
Music has been deeply embedded all along the journey, serving as a fine thread to weave between cultures, the voice and singing together being a main focus.
She has travelled the world with Markus and their daughters offering concerts, workshops and retreats, and homeschooled Pema and Alina with a Waldorf curriculum, something that opened a completely new way to connect with children and their stages of development, as well as consciously creating a deep bond with them.
Alina Djamila
Grew up traveling the world, being exposed to many cultures, lifestyles, and languages. She also has been part of many retreats since early childhood, which has given her a deep sense and feeling for people.
She homeschooled all her life and then finished high school on her own, and is currently studying in Spain in a theatre school where the main exploration is with the self. She will hold space for our younger girls.
Carrie Tree
Holding music as the center of her life, Carrie has traveled to diverse lands, sharing her passion and love of song. She also sees the need and power of therapeutic work to bring us back into balance and has studied many different fields in support of that. She trusts and upholds the depth of connection that can happen when we gather together. Her website: www.carrietree.co.uk ↗︎
Special Guest
Brenda McMorrow
Canadian musician Brenda McMorrow shares a unique and warmly embracing style of music, in which she blends elements of acoustic folk, world rhythms, ancient Indian mantras and Spanish medicine songs with a sweetly introspective singer-songwriter’s sensibility. Yoga Journal describes Brenda as having “a knack for expressing the deepest realizations in the sparsest lyrics”. Spiritual teacher Ram Dass has said: “Brenda has a gift”, and her music has been touching people’s hearts across the planet. Her website: www.brendamcmorrow.com ↗︎
