Ceremony, gentle bodywork and unhurried time to hear yourself again, with just 10 women in the York hills.

You might be here because…
- From the outside you look capable, strong and together. Inside, you’re quietly longing to be held.
- You’re grieving something: a person, a relationship, or the life you imagined.
- You’ve done the work (therapy, meditation, bodywork) and still feel a call to go deeper, into your body and not just your head.
- You want your voice back: to say what you need, hold your boundaries and choose from what’s true.
- You trust there’s something greater guiding you, even when you can’t yet see the path.
You don’t need the words for it yet. The longing is enough.
Why three days away?
Real change takes time
Three days lets your nervous system settle, your body speak and your heart be heard, away from everyone who needs something from you.
Rest that reaches your core
Gentle group bodywork and an unhurried pace, so your body can finally let go.
Witnessed, not fixed
Nothing expected of you. Everything welcome. You share only what you choose.
A way of living you take home
Ceremony and simple daily practices to stay in good relationship with yourself, the people you love and the world around you.
Women who understand
A circle of women at the same crossroads, and connection that lasts beyond the weekend.
Your three days
The Art of Relations: a way of living
At its heart, this retreat is about shamanic living: your relationship with yourself, and with everything around you, from the people you love to the land beneath your feet. When those relationships are tended, life’s hard moments don’t disappear, but you meet them with more ease.
Over three full days, Friday 9 am to Sunday 4 pm, we let go of what you’ve been carrying, listen to your body and womb, then choose how you want to live and relate when you go home. Each day builds on the last, and you are held the whole way through.
Day one · Friday
Arriving & letting go
You put your bags down, and for once someone else holds the day.
- Arrive from 9 am, settle into your room, tea and a warm welcome
- Opening circle: meet the women you’ll share these days with and set your intention
- Cacao ceremony to open the heart
- Gentle guided reflection: what you’ve been carrying, and what is ready to go
- Forgiveness practice inspired by Ho’oponopono, for others and for yourself
- Fire ritual to release what no longer belongs to you
You go to bedLighter, having named and set down what you’ve been carrying.
Day two · Saturday
Womb & deep listening
The day you come home to your body, slowly and gently.
- A slow start with nourishing food and plant teas
- Womb-centred reflection and a deep-listening circle: what has your body been trying to tell you?
- Gentle, womb-centred bodywork practices together as a group, always explained and always your choice
- Time to rest and let it settle
- Optional private bodywork may be offered as an add-on
- The 13th Rite of the Womb: a gentle blessing and intention-setting ceremony
You go to bedCloser to your body and womb, and to what you truly want.
Day three · Sunday
Direction & becoming
You turn towards home, clear about who you are choosing to be.
- Medicine Wheel reflection: moving through the four directions to see where you stand and where you’re heading
- Shaping the boundaries, choices and simple daily rituals you’ll carry home
- An offering to the Earth, giving thanks for all you’ve received
- Closing circle and ritual, then farewells by 4 pm
You leave withA clear direction, and practices that fit an ordinary Tuesday.
Woven through every day
- Nourishing meals, all included
- Plant teas and tinctures, including blue lotus and butterfly pea flower
- A small circle of up to 10 women
- You choose how deep you go: everything is invitation, never pressure
The fire ritual depends on fire-ban conditions on the day; if needed we’ll release in another way. The final programme and practical arrangements are shared before you pay.
The ordinary Tuesday after
You sit down, look at your family and your life, and meet it with a smile instead of despair. Not because everything has changed, but because you know you are held, safe and loved.
This isn’t a quick fix. Lasting change takes time and tending. But how you see yourself, your life and what you want can shift in three days.
Is this for you?
An honest check
This is for you if
- You’re at a fork in the road (change, grief or sadness) and ready to meet it.
- You’ve done some inner work and want to go deeper, into your body.
- You take responsibility for your own growth and wellbeing, and you’re ready to invest in it.
- You trust in something greater, whatever you call it: God, Source, Spirit, the Universe or Mother Earth. All paths are welcome.
- You’re open to ceremony. No experience needed.
It’s probably not for you if
- You’re looking for a quick fix, or someone to fix things for you.
- You’re only just beginning to explore inner work. A one-to-one session is a gentler start.
- You need medical or psychological treatment right now. This is bodywork and ceremony, not therapy.

A founding circle
The first three-day Art of Relations
I’ve held one-day retreats, women’s circles and ceremonies. This March is the first time I’m holding three full days, and the women who come will be its founding circle.
It will be small on purpose, so that every woman is seen, heard and cared for.
Meet your guide
I’m Anna. I’ve been where you are.
I didn’t come to this work as a practitioner. I came to it as a woman in grief, when talking wasn’t enough and my body needed care. I promised myself I would never abandon me again. That promise is why I hold these spaces.
Ten years in nursing, including mental health · Holistic counsellor · Lomilomi & womb-centred bodywork · Cacao ceremony & women’s circles · Mother, beekeeper, Fremantle local

Questions
A few things you may be wondering
I’ve never done ceremony. Is that okay?
Yes. No experience is needed. Every practice is optional, and you can pause or step out at any time.
What happens during the bodywork?
Every touch is explained and offered first, and you can say no or change your mind at any time. Womb and abdominal work is always optional and approached slowly, with your consent.
What is shamanic living?
A way of living in conscious relationship: with yourself, with others, and with the Earth and everything around us. It uses ceremony, ritual and simple daily practices to help you meet life’s challenges with more ease. No experience is needed.
Can I book a private bodywork session?
Private sessions may be offered as an optional add-on. If they are, details and pricing are shared before the retreat. The retreat is complete without one, and group bodywork practices are already included.
Is this religious?
No. It isn’t tied to any religion and isn’t against any. It’s for women who trust in something greater than themselves, whatever they call it.
Do I have to share in the group?
Only what you choose. You’ll be witnessed, never pushed, and there is room for private reflection too.
What is the 13th Rite of the Womb?
A gentle, guided ceremony honouring the womb space as a place of creativity, intuition and wisdom. You do not need to have a physical womb or follow a particular spiritual path.
What is the Medicine Wheel?
A framework for reflection using four directions and teachings associated with Serpent, Jaguar, Hummingbird and Eagle/Condor. We explore what to shed, what to see clearly and what to carry forward.
How do I pay?
Once I’ve confirmed your place and room with you, I’ll send PayID details for your $500 deposit and the instalments. Your place is held when the deposit arrives and I’ve confirmed in writing.
What if I can’t come after paying?
There are no change-of-mind refunds. Any amount kept is limited to reasonable costs, and any excess is refunded. If the retreat is cancelled, you get a full refund. Full details are in the booking terms.
Is this medical or psychological treatment?
No. This retreat offers bodywork, ceremony and personal and spiritual reflection. It does not replace medical or psychological care.

Booking & cancellation terms
These terms apply to TerraMatrix’s The Art of Relations — A Way of Living, 12–14 March 2027, at York Hillside Country Estate, Western Australia.
Your booking and early-bird price
All prices are in Australian dollars, per person, and include two nights’ accommodation, meals and the facilitated retreat programme. Guest transport is not included.
The early-bird price is $1,779 shared or $2,100 single when TerraMatrix receives your $500 deposit, or full payment, by 11:59 pm AWST on 31 December 2026. The deposit is part of the total price, not an extra charge. From 1 January 2027, the standard price is $1,979 shared or $2,300 single. There is no additional discount for paying in full.
Before you pay, Anna will confirm availability and your accommodation choice, provide these terms and request your agreement. Payments are made by PayID bank transfer, using the details sent with your confirmation. Your place is secured once the deposit has been received, the terms agreed and TerraMatrix has sent written booking confirmation. An enquiry alone does not reserve a place.
Payment plans and due dates
Early-bird plans comprise a $500 deposit by 31 December 2026, then two payments on 15 January and 15 February 2027: $639.50 each for shared accommodation or $800 each for single accommodation. There is no extra charge for this plan.
For bookings from 1 January, the applicable standard price and any remaining instalment dates will be confirmed in writing before you pay. The balance is due by 15 February 2027. Bookings accepted after that date require full payment at booking.
If a payment is missed, Anna will contact you and provide seven days’ written notice to bring the booking up to date. If it remains unpaid, TerraMatrix may cancel the booking and apply the cancellation terms below. No automatic late-payment penalty applies.
If you cancel or cannot attend
Please notify Anna in writing at [email protected] as soon as possible.
No discretionary change-of-mind refunds are offered. This includes a change in personal circumstances, non-attendance or leaving early. However, this does not mean that TerraMatrix can automatically keep every payment.
Any amount retained from your deposit or other payments will be limited to reasonable, demonstrable costs and losses caused by your cancellation, taking account of expenses saved and payments recovered by refilling your place. We will take reasonable steps to minimise those losses. Any amount paid above those losses will be refunded. If those losses equal the amount paid, no refund is due, subject to your legal rights.
We will explain the basis of any cancellation charge. Cancellation does not automatically make all unpaid instalments due; any amount claimed must reflect a lawful, reasonable cancellation loss and cannot exceed your agreed booking total. Your rights under Australian Consumer Law always apply.
If TerraMatrix cancels or changes the retreat
If TerraMatrix cancels the retreat, including because too few places have been booked, you will receive a full refund of all retreat payments made to TerraMatrix.
If TerraMatrix proposes a different date, venue or other significant change, you may accept it or cancel for a full refund of your retreat payments. Minor programme changes will be communicated and will not remove your consumer rights. You do not have to accept credit instead of a refund where a refund is due.
Your participation and consumer rights
The retreat offers bodywork, ceremony and personal and spiritual reflection. It is not medical or psychological treatment, and no particular personal outcome is guaranteed. Participation in each practice is your choice.
Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or replaces rights or remedies available under Australian Consumer Law or other applicable law. This includes refunds, compensation and remedies for services that do not meet consumer guarantees. If a term conflicts with those rights, those rights prevail.
For booking questions or cancellations, contact Anna at [email protected].
