A 4.5-hour retreat for women to slow down and reconnect with themselves through Kundalini Activation, CACAO GONG and DANCE

THE RED TENT: RECLAIMING ALL OF YOU

An exploration of the parts we hide

With Alana & Amina

5 December 2026 · Quinnettes Barn, Churt

Which parts of yourself feel easy to show?

And which do you hold back for fear of being judged, rejected or misunderstood?

This women’s retreat explores what is often called the “shadow”: feelings, desires and qualities we’ve learnt to reject or keep out of sight.

Through feminine archetypes, Tarot and astrological symbolism, Alana will guide an exploration of what we’ve learnt to judge in ourselves, whose expectations we’re carrying, and how we might express ourselves with greater honesty and care.

Together with Amina, we’ll create an afternoon of movement, sound, conversation and reflection, with a shared meal and time to simply enjoy being together.

You don’t need to arrive with answers or be ready to share your story. Curiosity is enough.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Cacao & Opening Circle

We’ll begin with cacao and a welcoming circle, taking time to arrive, meet one another and reflect on what brings you here. Tea will also be available.

Gentle Somatic Movement & Kundalini Activation with Alana

A gentle somatic warm-up will lead into Kundalini Activation, supported by music. Most of the practice takes place lying down. You can move, remain still or pause at any point — there is no particular experience you need to achieve.

We’ll allow time to settle afterwards before lunch.

Shared Lunch

A relaxed meal together, with space to talk, connect or enjoy a quiet moment.

Feminine Archetypes, Tarot & Astrology

After lunch, we’ll explore feminine archetypes through Tarot, alongside the symbolism of your Moon and Venus placements.

Through conversation and guided reflection, we’ll consider your emotional needs, sensuality, desires, and the ways you give and receive love. We’ll explore what nourishes you, what you value, and which parts of yourself you would like to give more space.

Tarot and astrology will be used as prompts for reflection, with room for you to find your own meaning. No previous knowledge is needed. This is a group exploration, with time for journalling, questions and optional sharing, rather than a full individual reading.

Gong Journey with Amina

Lie back and settle into an immersive gong experience with Amina. Allow yourself time to rest and listen as the sound unfolds and gradually fades into stillness.

Sacred Feminine Dance with Amina

After the gong and a gentle transition, Amina will guide Sacred Feminine Dance — an invitation to reconnect with your body through intuitive movement, music and self-expression.

There are no steps to learn or movements to get right. Explore your own rhythm, whether that means expansive movement, a quiet sway or simply pausing to listen.

Gentle Closing Sound & Integration with Alana

Alana will guide a gentle closing practice with soft sound and grounding, allowing time to settle after the dance.

We’ll finish with reflection and an optional sharing circle. You’ll be invited to choose one way to carry your experience into everyday life, and receive a small integration gift to take home.

BEFORE THE RETREAT

Please send Alana your date of birth, birthplace and exact birth time, if known, privately before the event so she can prepare your Moon and Venus placements. If you don’t know your birth time, let us know — you can still take part, and we’ll explain what can be established from the information available.

Wear comfortable clothes you can move and rest in, and bring a journal and pen. Please let us know about any dietary requirements when booking.

Come alone or with a friend. No previous experience is required, sharing is always optional, and you’re welcome to participate at your own pace.

We look forward to welcoming you.

With love,

Alana & Amina

What to bring: a yoga mat, eye mask, water bottle and comfortable clothing.
