International Feminenza Retreat

France, July 2005

The second international Feminenza retreat held in the South-West of France took place in the rolling countryside near Toulouse (16th-21st July). Ladies from England, Norway, Israel, Holland and France gathered for 5 days of dialogue and contemplation around the fundamental issues of gender development and harmonisation of the different lives within us.

Hosted in a beautiful old manor house, the retreat was a very enriching process of exchange and exploration around the life of the tenant in us, which can be summed up as the development of consciousness at all levels of ourselves. It involved new ways of research, sensitivity work in nature, country walks, dance, theatre and meditation work, as well as workshopping our views, quiet moments of reflection, swims in the pool, the buzz of lively conversations around the dinner table, and a day adventure in a beautiful nearby French town.

It enabled us to deepen our understanding of ourselves, further discover the ways and qualities that belong with our gender, build new friendships, and was altogether a very nourishing experience that left us feeling very still, strong and in touch with our inner selves.

A thought in parting: the last of human freedom is to choose one’s attitude in the face of what happens to you.
