COME HOME SISTER, COME HOME

This is an invitation to explore, cultivate and reignite your feminine power.

This retreat is more than a women’s retreat. It will help you come unbound. Unbound from any self-created limitations and stories about your personal agency. You will find new lefels of your inner freedom and power.

This is our time…

CULTIVATE AND REIGNITE YOUR FEMININE POWER.

Imagine living your most fulfilled life. Deeply trusting yourself, knowing your worth, in your sensual abundance and creative power.

Imagine a world filled with passionate women living on purpose, supporting and celebrating one another to continuously rise.

Imagine moving through the world with the kind of embodied confidence that’s beyond “fake it til’ you make it.” 

Together we’ll create a safe space where you get to connect with your truth, and have it celebrated.

This is a place for your authentic self to shine through. Not the image of you that you think everyone wants to see. Not the you that placates, the you that overly cooperates or the you that compromises. The real you.

This will not be about about twisting ourselves into intellectual pretzels - trying to analyze every aspect of the past.

Instead, you’ll walk away embodying a newfound trust in your capacity and expression as a full spectrum, empowered woman.

Together we’ll become unbound…

• unbound from hiding out, waiting for the perfect conditions to come alive into our full power

• unbound from feeling numb, stuck, overwhelmed or playing small 

• unbound from the spell of “not enough” and ” too much”

• Unbound so that who you are on the inside and how you show up on the outside can come into fuller alignment and expression. 

It is time to awaken your raw intuitive knowing, your sensual aliveness, your ancient wisdom. 

This is an exquisite and profoundly safe space to experience yourself as a full spectrum woman while being loved as your unapologetic self.

UNBOUND is for you if: 

• you’re ready to soften into your feminine wisdom, come to know your body, emotions and eros as a temple of beauty, power and magic 

• you’re ready to shed the layers of feeling stuck, small or unhook from cycles of self-doubt and scarcity

• You're ready to embody your FULL range as a woman, and crave a space where you can safely explore the many faces of the goddess within you. 

• You’re ready to cultivate a supportive, healing and nourishing sisterhood of like-hearted women

*Space limited to only 12 women

What women are saying

'“The last Unbound retreat was magical and transformational for me. The setting and container was in beautiful nature and provided a safe and quiet space for all of us. Aine and Mandy are beautiful and spiritual humans and bring their magical healing and carefully created program to all of us. I recommend this retreat to any woman who is looking for a safe space to go inward, work on themselves and bond with other women.”

Stella, Bay Area

“The experience last Fall that Mandy and Aine curated was a transformative step in my journey of self-reclamation. After an intense breakup, I felt drawn to this poignant form of healing, and I came out of it feeling more in tune with my own boundaries and power. The activities the following day were just as powerful as the medicine itself: they evoked a rawness and vulnerability that lended itself to depth of transformation. Mandy and Aine are unique in that they are not only powerful in their mysticism, but they each are also grounded individuals in the world. I trust them in curating experiences that are ethical and researched based, as well as spiritually transformative—that balance is important to me and often feels rare to find in this type of healing work. Additionally, I felt so much trust in the sisterhood that was created from this event being for women only. I felt so safe and held in the sisterly and motherly energy among the group of women, and that safety allowed me to go deeper into my healing journey. I got so much out of this retreat. I will certainly do it again when the call comes again!” Sophie, Bay Area

“As an artist, a mother, a business owner and human being looking to show up as her best self, I decided that taking time out to deeply investigate my intentions for this lifetime is critical for spiritual hygiene.  Mandy and Aine create a container that simultaneously fills you with grace and love while (gently) pushing you up against a few edges (hello sacred feminine theatre!)   I highly recommend whatever these two beauties are up to.  Oh, and the location for the retreat is next level. Truly a magical & mystical space in the heart of the forest." Cary, Bay Area

“I am still reaping the gifts that my experience of this retreat has given me almost half a year later. Unbound was unlike any gathering I have been a part of. Aine and Mandy's level of attunement, holding, and offerings straight from their heart's was deeply transformational. I felt incredibly safe, supported, and celebrated. I couldn't recommend this magical duo and incredible offering enough.” Emily Bay Area

The SOUND MEDITATION PROTOCOL

This is Mandy’s specific training in journey work. It combines several modalities (tools) that on their own are very helpful more mental, emotional, physical and spiritual healing and clarity. Combined together with expansive medicines is a truly profound experience that serves multiple aspects of your being (mind, body, emotion, energy body, soul).

1. Consciousness Expanding Medicine

We combine a heart opening medicine and mushrooms at relatively strong dosage (each person is calibrated). The specifics of medicine can be discussed on a call.

2. Priming Talk

Mandy discusses the scientific and therapeutic properties of sound and medicine. She then shares lessons and frameworks that serve as helpful “tools of navigation” for your sound journey.

2. Vocal Toning

The use of your own vocal chords is an important part of somatic healing and personal expression. This wordless form of vocalization serves as a platform for self-expression and physical release. It is a supported method of soothing the vagas nerve (a major nerve known for storing trauma in the body and emotional regulation).

3. Breathwork

Inspired by Stanislav Grof's Holotropic breathing technique, you will be guided through a powerful three-part breath that will enable you to disconnect from the “monkey mind” enough to reach heightened states of awareness and a deeper state of meditation. Oxygenating the body also has health benefits such alkalizing blood PH, a known indicator of immune system functioning and vitamin balance.

4. Sound

Mandy will guide a sonic journey into your inner landscape using overtone-emitting instruments (Currently she uses: large gong, singing bowls, ocean drum, tribal drum, chimes, monolina, sansula, the wing, and more) These rich overtones affect the brainwave cycles, neurochemistry, autonomic nervous system, heart-rate variability, and subtle energy in the body. The sound meditation sets the stage for a deep, meditative and unique altered state of consciousness allowing us to disconnect from physical, mental, emotional and psychological habitual patterns and rewire them.

5. Integration

“It was a year of therapy in 6 hours.” Is common feedback Mandy hears. The brain and body want to be healthy so when we give them the opportunity to “take out the garbage” and come back to wholeness, they do. Many participants experience rapid imagery and insights, thus time is spent after session to help participants integrate into their every day experience.

*Created and Perfected by my teachers, David Shemesh and Alexandre Tannous

Testimonials from Sound Meditations by Mandy

“"After a few exceptionally challenging years and a recent traumatic experience, I was carrying a crippling amount of anxiety in my body, and an immense amount of grief in my heart. I was overwhelmed with life and self doubt. I’d been seeing a psychotherapist and career coach for over 6 months, trying to eat well, getting outside, spending time with friends, and basically doing all the ‘right’ things to be better. To feel better. But everyday was a struggle. I was seeing patterns in my life that I just didn’t know how to break. When I booked a 6 hour sound ceremony with Mandy hoped for some relief, but did not expect the magnitude of the gift that Mandy gave me.” K San Francisco

Mandy created a loving and compassionate space and created an extraordinary experience. I am in awe of her and her process during which such profound healing could occur. From the careful preparation and conversation the night before, to the creation of the most comfortable environment, no detail was missed. I always felt supported, yet she did not intervene or distract, but rather helped me surrender and feel safe enough to go deeper into the many layers of repressed trauma that I truly never had the courage or method to face before. Then, she gently guided me to let it all go. It was extraordinarily painful at times, but the profound sense of love, connectedness, and self-reckoning was almost immediate. I was particularly awestruck with Mandy’s use of music and sound.” —KK in Santa Barbara

“It is hard to write feedback for the best day of my life so far because it is something beyond words. [Mandy] helped facilitate the access to and experience of Divine LOVE that I had looked for in Ayahuasca. I write this short message a few months after our 1 on 1 session and honestly, I am still strongly feeling its benefits. I wake up each morning more clear and more connected to love. I feel empowered and in control of my life. I sometimes have those human freak outs but I am able to get myself back to peace SO MUCH quicker. Thank you so much Mandy. This will be apart of my regular “tune up” each year. I am so grateful for how this work impacted my clarity with my job/life purpose and how it helped me let go of resistance to fully loving my partner and accepting his love. Also, thank you for helping me create and stick to a morning routine that I am actually excited about.” KM San Diego

“From the deepest part of my heart. I would like to say thank you and express the amount of peace and clarity and grounding I feel. I feel my most authentic self and I haven’t allowed her in, in so long. I am so grateful to be with myself again. This is nothing short of GOD’s work and will. Please keep illuminating the paths of light so others can feel this.” DT in San Francisco

“Mandy brings sound meditation to a whole new level using her own array of the most beautiful instruments. I honestly believe that the sound that resonated through me was one of the most powerful experiences, and the entire journey would not have been as impactful, or effective without it. Later that evening I felt a sense of peace and calm I had not felt in a very long time. Mandy also helped me with the grounding after the journey and we’ve had several debriefs since to ensure I maintain it. This experience may not be for everyone, but for me personally, it helped me recall that sense of personal power I had lost somewhere along the way, and over the days that followed I also remembered my purpose and motivation to live within my core values, and speak my truth. It was like getting 5 years worth of therapy in one day. I am so grateful to Mandy. Her trust in the healing process is intrinsic, and now I trust it too." —TK in Santa Barbara

“My own experience of the sound journey this evening was an opening to memories and places, colors and movements, the aliveness and SEEING sound while my eyes were closed. Observing where my mind was going and knowing why it was going there was something unique to itself but also, knowing that probably others were experiencing something just as transformative as we all peeled back our veneers of '“reality”. The gong silence that internal thought voice and its resonance and dissonance created a landscape beyond recognition. I’ve never been so reminded of my singularity and aloneness in the universe while feeling so connected and safe. I saw us all merge as we emerged from the experience. Hugs, embrace, touch, looking deeply and connecting with the beauty we share on this fragile lifeboat we call Earth.” M Santa Barbara

“This is why sages remain silent. There really is no explanation or description grand enough for that experience. Yet, because I am human, and because I am me and I love words, I try. First, may I say thank you for including me in that experience. It really was all that I wished for and more. It was a deep, deep honor to watch you and David work together. It was an honor to be present and witness the processing of the other souls in that room. And most importantly it was just FUN!!! We have talked ad nauseum about what comes next, what's on the other side of processing, what's after fear... only Love...light and sound in constant, orgasmic play with each other over, and over, and over, and over, and over... Every note that was played sang only one refrain, I AM! No matter the frequency, no matter the cadence, that was it: I AM. I AM. I AM. What a relief to experience that in bodily knowing; that no matter where I turn, no matter if it looks dark or gray, the command within my power is to tell my mind, "Color here too" and it will be so. And once there is color there is creation. And once there is creation it is endless. My guides told me that I had chosen not to create in a world without color, that I had been holding myself back until I had seen. And now that I have seen, I will choose. What, I don't know; but, that is enough. Because in my not knowing I will allow the question to arise, "Would you like to know?". And to that, I will always answer YES!” —EV San

Testimonials from working with Aine

“Working with Aine has been one of the most extraordinary experiences of my life's journey. Aine's transmission through the coaching and breathwork feels safe and gentle yet the work done in these spaces is at all levels of the body: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and energetic. This allows the deepest and most profound sessions whereby I have felt both transcended and fully in my body. This work has impacted how I interact with my daily life as well as expanded my ability to see beyond this dimension of time and space. I would recommend Aine's work wherever someone may be on their growth / life journey.”    - Sara Czerwinski, Sex/Love/Relationship Coach

"Working with Aine has provided me with some of the most profound healing experiences of my life. I've done a lot of transformational work, and breathwork with her is THE experience I tell often to people as having the most powerful impact on me in the least amount of time. Also, as someone who comes from a family that is very resistant to ingesting external substances, and as someone who has struggled with feeling comfortable surrendering to substances, I'm really happy that I've been able to access very similar results from just air and her voice!" - Miriam Isa | E! News TV Host, Writer, International Public Speaker, Life Coach

"I have a dozen plus years of therapy under my belt, have tried anti-anxiety medications, have consumed countless self-help books and explored many spiritual practices with little appreciable change to my baseline level of happiness. The ONLY thing that has worked is Aine's breathwork method. Like most workaholics, I tend to assign monumental importance to everything on my to-do list. On top of that, I put a lot of pressure on myself about all of the non-work areas of my life as well -- over time this has led me to create a very stressed out nervous system. From the moment I open my eyes in the morning until I finally put my head down at night there are multiple tracks of inner critics pushing my psyche and my long suffering adrenal glands to the limit. Before working with Aine, I believed that this is just the way that I am wired and that there was nothing to be done about it. Over the course of 6 months of working with Aine I have found the space to see the patterns and make some subtle changes that have been hugely transformative for me personally and professionally. I love the trajectory I am on now and have had friends and colleagues remark at the change they have seen in my demeanor." - Marcus Segal | CEO, ForeVR Games

"As a founder and a new mother, I'm frequently stressed and struggle with sleep. After a breathwork I feel so much more relaxed. I rarely sleep through the night, but after a breathwork session, I always wake up feeling refreshed." - Nathalie Walton | CEO & Co-Founder, Expectful

"When I came to Aine, I couldn’t find the right motivation and was feeling pretty down. After our time together I felt completely transformed. I shed the negative thoughts haunting me, I cried and released some grief in my body, and I found a new sense of JOY with so much more energy and new insight. Whether you are in need of this type of healing or simply curious about breathwork, I highly recommend working with Aine." - Katherine Edwards | Yoga Teacher & Mindful Movement

"I'm new to breathwork. There was part of me that was skeptical of the benefits of it - I mean, I'm breathing all the time. But part of me knew that getting some guided breathwork practice would help me access and move energy. Aine’s presence as a facilitator is calm, kind, and loving - helped me to feel safe to drop into the work we did together. To notice what came up, even if it was uncomfortable. I knew the container she created and held was big and sturdy enough to support me. After working with Aine, I felt lighter, energized, and more connected to myself. Working with Aine gave me the emotional release I didn't know I needed. I grew up in a household where feelings weren't really discussed - and as an adult, I began to bottle things up. Breathwork, as a practice, helps me connect back to myself and open up. Breathwork is a gorgeous, necessary practice. I'd tell anyone to find/ make time to fold it into their regular self-care. I'd put it up there with Meditation, Exercise, and Massage as a tool I reach for in my daily practice." - Andrew Urankar | Business Operations, Interior Design @ High Frontier Ranch
