Highlights

Arise & Shine Retreat has been designed for women who are ready to own their innate power to manifest their dreams. Your host, Brita Fernandez Schmidt, draws from 25 years of experience as an author, public speaker and transformational and trauma-informed coach who is passionate about supporting your journey deep into your power. Her mission is to help women feel in their power, create change and overcome adversity. Brita will bring her tried and tested approach and share her latest learnings around somatic healing and how to access the wisdom of your body, heart and mind. She'll teach you how to respond to your 'fierce' in a way that creates positive change and connects you with the people around you.


The retreat consists of 4 pillars, which you will journey through over the course of the 4 days. Each pillar includes key aspects and questions which you will explore using various tools.


Pillar 1 - Arrive: You'll get to know each other, share stories and open up your intuition. You'll arrive to your own power and the power of the women around you. 

• The power of our stories

• How do we access our intuition?

• The power of intention setting


Pillar 2 - Attune: In this part you'll connect with your body and nervous system. You'll become aware of the now. Where is my power flowing freely? Where is it stuck? What is interrupting the flow? You'll notice fear and look at it closely.

• Understanding our nervous system

• Understanding our bodies and how trauma is stored in our bodies

• Powerful Presence – How can we be present in the now?

• Practicing 3-sync meditation

• Getting to know fear


Pillar 3 - Arise: In this part you'll let go of what no longer serves you and rise. You'll become aware of the lineage of women before you and the resources that exist in you. You'll feel your power deepen and rise. You'll articulate your most outrageous asks. 

• Understanding our ancestors as a resource

• Connecting with the power of letting go and letting come

• Connecting to the emerging future in the now

• Accessing our deepest desires and wants


Pillar 4  - Anchor: In this part you anchor your newfound clarity. You'll own your deep power and shine and share. You'll express your deep power and your intentions and allow it to be witnessed by the women around us.

• How can I back myself? – Power of Legitimacy

• How can I resource myself? – Power of Connection 

• What concretely will I commit to?
