A 3-DAY WOMEN’S EXPERIENCE
CULTIVATING THE FLAME
Under the Fire Horse
15-17th of May 2026
This three-day women’s experience invites you to cultivate and consciously direct the flame within. Guided by embodiment practices and tea ceremony, you’ll explore how to self-regulate your nervous system, refine your inner fire, and stay connected to your vitality without burning out.
Cultivating the Flame is about meeting your aliveness with care—learning when to soften, when to move, and how to let clarity and direction arise from within.
This intimate container supports women in times of transition, expansion, or renewal—those longing to reconnect with their inner warmth, presence, and creative force in a grounded, sustainable way.
When a woman tends her inner flame, she moves through life with clarity, magnetism, and embodied trust—ready to welcome what wants to emerge next.
The Experience
What you will receive

Tea ceremonies & meditation rituals with Jade Brunel
Embodiment practices with Marie-Sophie Kiepe (self-touch, somatic exploration, Tao–Tantric-inspired movements)
Candlelit intuitive dance journey

A small take-home ritual set
What you will learn
How to regulate your nervous system and sustain inner fire without burning out — through rhythm, presence, and attuned pacing
How to read your body’s signals with precision using self-touch and somatic awareness, so your energy becomes trustworthy again
How to shift from effort into embodied vitality, applying Tao–Tantric–inspired movement principles that restore flow and potency
How ritual, tea, and stillness support mental clarity and emotional grounding, creating space for insight without overwhelm
How to move and dance from sensation rather than performance, allowing emotion to release, integrate, and reorganize
How to use nourishment, rest, and nature as active tools for integration, not as passive recovery
How to anchor what you learn into daily life through simple, repeatable rituals that reconnect you with warmth, orientation, and inner steadiness
A rare and intimate gathering
This is an extraordinary, one-time constellation.
My colleague and dear friend Jade Brunel is traveling to Europe to share her gifts with us in this intimate setting — a meeting of practices, lineages, and lived wisdom that does not happen often and will only take place once this year.
Cultivating the Flame is designed as a small, held circle — just 6 women — allowing for depth, safety, and genuine connection. Every element is intentional. Every presence matters.
