Women’s Retreats

Come home to yourself, together.

Maybe you don’t need another therapy session.

Maybe you just need to disconnect from your everyday life, be surrounded by like-minded, supportive women, and reconnect to yourself again.

You already know how to cope, achieve and hold everything together. A Manava women’s retreat is the opposite. It is a few days to stop performing, soften, feel your body again and be witnessed exactly as you are, in a small circle of women who are doing the same.

Held in extraordinary places, guided by Monica Wadwa, and designed around healing, embodiment, connection and play.

What a Manava retreat gives you

A safe space

A small, hand-held group and a facilitator who knows how to create emotional safety, so you can finally put the armour down.

Real embodiment

Breathwork, somatic practices, movement, meditation and ceremony. Not just insight, but change you can feel in your body.

Sisterhood

Friendships that go deeper than small talk. Women who see you, cheer for you and stay in your life after you leave.

Is this for you?

These retreats are for the woman who…

—Looks like she has it together but feels disconnected inside
—Has spent years putting everyone else first
—Wants to feel at home in her body again
—Is ready to stop performing and start feeling
—Is craving real sisterhood, depth and play
—Is ready to invest in herself, not just think about it

In their words

Sarah

“Monica's energy is so calming and nurturing. And she really inspires me to be more in my feminine because you can tell she lives her life from that place and it seems to really help her live a peaceful and happy life.”

Evie

“Working with Monica has been life changing for me. I really can't speak highly enough for the impact she's had on me and the way I now live my life.”

Emily

“Wow, I really needed that workshop. I'm excited to implement everything I learnt. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us and holding space in such a transformative way.”

Questions, answered

Do I need to come with friends?
No. Most women come alone. You will arrive as a stranger and leave as part of a circle.
Is it suitable for beginners?
Yes. No yoga, meditation or retreat experience is needed. Everything is optional and invitational.
What if I’m going through a hard time?
You’re welcome as you are. We’ll talk on your connection call to make sure it feels supportive.
What is the cancellation policy?
You are welcome to cancel up to 60 days before the retreat begins. Because we pay the venue, our facilitators and experience providers in advance to hold your space, the £1,000 deposit is non-refundable and covers these commitments.
Can I join a waiting list for future retreats?
Yes. Leave your details and you’ll be the first to hear about the next retreat.
