What
women have shared about their experience of the "Awakening the Divine Feminine" retreat:
"Awakening
the Divine Feminine helped me to realise how
much I was living outside my body 'looking in' instead
of living my life inside my body 'looking out'. I was
able to return to myself through loving again my whole being,
accepting myself and my past, drawing on hidden strengths I didn't
know I had and also capitalising on ones I did know were there but
wasn't honouring. I have seen the benefits from this retreat
in so many areas of my life it's unexplainable. I have detached
from so many people I live my life 'according to', I am kinder to myself,
I live the life I've wanted to, I can let go of stressful and negative energy
more easily because I have learnt how to, I am closer to God, I can be more patient
with myself, my children and other people, my husband looks at me with a renewed
love because he sees I am at peace again... but I think my darling husband says
it all in one: "Are you going back next year?" and "I would pay
double for you to go with the difference it has made to yours and our families
life."

"The
retreat was gentle and powerful. There was a great
balance between the absence of pressure and
encouragement to dive deep inside. By letting my body
lead me I remembered important and reassuring truths
about being myself. I came home feeling lighter and
inspired to live with greater clarity, ease and
happiness."

Alison
"This
experience was the best three days of my entire
life! I feel so empowered!
Going into this retreat I was terrified of what
feelings I would face knowing that my life needed to
change, so I didn't stay in my little box. Never
again will I be pushed around by other peoples fears.
This has given me a powerful ground to stand on to
continue with my life work.
Awakening the Divine Feminine was the most profound
spiritual experience I have gone through in my life! I
feel the blindfold has been removed and I'm seeing the
truth in me and my life. I found my sacred self and
will always cherish this for as long as I live. I now
believe in myself and see my true self and this is an
invaluable gift to pass on to my daughters. I'm
so strong, I completely trust my feelings.
Something deep has stirred within me and is now pouring
out and it feels so magnificent."

"The first
retreat was the best experience I’ve ever had with a group
of women. Sexism has always led me to believe that blokes are better
to hang out with. I saw that for what it was this weekend and my life
has expanded. It was divine. Since the retreat, I can feel the connection
to my ancestors, I can stay firm
in the boundaries I set for myself, I feel like I’ve integrated
many aspects of myself in the face of sexism telling me I can either
be beautiful or intelligent or fierce or loving. I am all of these. I
can decide to be happy one day at a time. I can feel again after 5 years
of my body being numb. I can finally feel trees and skin again the way
I knew was possible. I know these things have come about as a result
of the retreat Renee, so thank you.
The second retreat was a totally different experience but I seemed to take up
where I left off last time. I can hardly wait for the
next one!!
I hit a wall at one point, but it was a different wall
and I knew it was ok. Renee's structure of the retreat
gave me room to break through that wall and discover
my secret garden."

"Most
importantly for me, the retreat allowed me to feel and experience the
essential elements and
femininity within myself that I knew existed
but was unable to tap into. This experience was so intense that I
am able to reflect on and draw from it for strength in everyday endeavors.
It has given me an incredible sense of myself, stripping away all
the behaviors and qualities that I think I have to exhibit in order to
be accepted, allowing me to find the incredible power and freedom
of appreciating my individual qualities. A sacred, empowering experience
which should be incorporated into the lives of all women living in
the “western world” to assist them in their transition
into womanhood. For the first time in my life I feel empowered!"

Deborah
"The
retreat was beautiful! It nurtured my body, my heart and my soul.
It really was a sacred space.
It was magical too, which connected my “child” to
my feminine self. I have begun to recognise my femininity! Most of my
life I have believed femininity to be a weakness. Not so – during
the retreat I began to see and feel the strength of my own femininity.
I’m powerful, smart, soft, loving, warm, compassionate, creative,
sensual and DIVINELY FEMININE!! I actually feel like a woman… Thank
you."

Maria
"Since
the retreat I like myself for who I am, I accept myself more completely,
I take space make sound and feel safe in being seen. I honour the different
and unique qualities that each woman (and humans in general) have to
offer the world and I remember I am not ever alone. The Divine Feminine
dwells within. Gunnebah retreat centre feels like the perfect place
especially with Susanna's (our wonderful host and
cook!) pure energy... she's the icing on a sumptuous
cake!!"

Lynda
"I absolutely
loved and felt deeply nurtured by the retreat. I felt so safe and
honored,
that it gave me the space to release another layer
of my patterns. I felt very connected with all the other women… it
was as if we had an unspoken agreement to heal… Since the retreat
I feel a sense of relaxation that I have not felt before; giving me space
to honour and trust myself more. I feel that I am noticing people’s
beauty and gifts more readily and I am able to tell them more freely.
I feel more open and trusting and joyful about my life."

What
women have shared about Renée in her
work with women:
"I
am simply speechless about the way Renee can bring a
group of women together from different
backgrounds, life experiences and purposes in life and
help each one HEAL THEMSELVES in their own way. Her
ability to show womenhow to love themselves and each
other again is priceless."
-
Pru
"Renee,
you are the most beautiful women I know. To
uncover your knowledge and touch me so deeply in such
a gentle way is something I will never forget.
Thank you for your wisdom and spirit."
-
Bianka
"Renee
is highly skilled at facilitating and leading
groups. She uses her wide experience, innate wisdom
and warm personality to create a comfortable and
encouraging environment for women to have profound
(and joyful) learning experiences."
-
Alison
"The
clarity of Renee’s thinking astounded me as did her
ability to keep the process true to her vision and guidelines, as made
clear to me. I was transported but her sense of humour and down-to-earth
approach kept me grounded. I appreciate your boundaries, your commitment
to your passion, your beauty.
Renee has a knack of going very deep but remaining
light, which seems to give everyone confidence to be
able to make the journey to the core and survive their
return trip."
-
Wendy
“What
can I say!! As a facilitator, from the word go, you created a space
of compassion, respect, abundant creativity. We all truly got
close. You never cease to amaze me and inspire me. You are not only superbly
intelligent, you are from the earth and the heaven’s strong. So
beautifully creative, so, so, so compassionate, so deeply spiritual,
flexible, patient, stunning, funny, expansive. I’m a fan!!"

"...
A beautiful and powerful feminine presence... Renée
evokes a feeling of safeness and support and seems to be able to identify
quickly the inner most stumbling blocks to one's selft-acceptance and
expression. She exhibits a deep concern for humanity but is able to focus
that concern exclusively to the individual she is interacting with. She
is able to show acceptance of ones personal "demons" and normalises the
fears we have in our selves but also supportively helps one to release
them."

Debbie
“You
have such a deep compassion and understanding for emotional work.
I love the way you create a very safe environment
for us to go
very deep. Your intelligence and commitment to your own growth translates
into creating a very deep, sacred space for us women to heal. What most
stands out is that you deeply care about women/people and I feel blessed
that I had the opportunity to participate in your retreat.
Renee creates a wonderful safety at her retreats. I
know that her caring for me is so full of integrity
and depth. Her qualities and skills work on a very
deep level and I saw every woman and myself transform
during the retreat. Her ability to create a safe space
and maintain healthy boundaries means I can heal on a
very deep level.”

Chania
“I
appreciate you completely, your patience and your commitment
to supporting
women. Your inner strength and beauty emanated from
every pore during the weekend. As a woman leading women you are incredibly
inspiring and awesomely empowering. The space you create is so safe.
You supported each of us, as women, so individually. Your innate
wisdom, compassion, intuition and deep understanding of women, and
our patterns, assists us to live life to our fullest potential! You
make the Divine Feminine very accessible to women who may never have
had this opportunity before. I honour you for this.
You uphold truth and simplicity in the most sacred
way. I love the magnificently beautiful space you
create.”
