Path of ALIVENESS Shamanic Retreat
for women created by women
10 – 13 April 2025
Glastonbury, UK
Unlock Nature’s Wisdom Codes
For women who know their natural embodied power lives in their relationship to the sacred feminine and are ready to create fire from the embers they feel stirring within.
For the ones who know they are the medicine, in the habits of reverence you nurture and grow for your own sacred body and the body of the earth.
‘When women gather, the earth heals
When women tend to their inner fire, the whole world transforms
When women gather, we remember and as we remember, our hearts beat as one’
This is an initiation into the ancient wisdom of the elements
Awaken the wisdom codes of your inner landscape, gather the golden threads of ancient wisdom and weave them into the everyday embodiment of the divine feminine
An opportunity to dive deep, awaken and remember the sacred feminine within you.
We will sit in a circle, witnessing the transformation within ourselves, inspired by the transformation we witness in others. We will dance and sit in silence. In a sacred circle, everyone’s contribution is heard.
As we sit with the elements, you will meet the element within yourself and awaken your wisdom codes.
This is a call home to your essence. Will you answer the call?
At the heart of this is our ability to listen.
To listen to Life.
At this time on the planet, we are being called to lead and the invitation to lead is an invitation in self-leadership.
During the retreat you will be invited to listen to life, to listen to nature and in your listening activate your unique medicine.
A weaving of ancient wisdom, shamanic journeys, sweat lodge ceremonies, sacred circles, maturation coaching and embodiment work. The retreat, hosted by Gita Nicola Schneider (Crone & Medicine Woman) and Dory Walker ( Spiritual Mentor & Maturation Coach), both with decades of experience in the art of transformation, is an invitation to meet the fullness of life through the mirror of the medicine wheel.
Join us in ceremony, in circle as we walk each other home.
Gita Nicola Schneider & Dory Walker
I am Gita, Medicine woman and Shamanic teacher. I hold the wisdom and experience of a lifetime of communicating with the spirit world, the knowledge of my ancestors and nature’s wisdom codes. I see myself as a medial woman, as a keeper of liminal space, so in a way holding the doorway open and translating and facilitating the flow between different realities.
The best way to know me is to sit in circle with me. I support and mentor women to bring transformation and authenticity to their life and relationships, through shamanic journey, circles work and season cycle programs. I am passionate about ritual as a way of tuning in, as a way of stepping into our embodied wisdom.
Dory Walker is a Maturation coach and Quantum energetics mentor, supporting woman in business and life to align to their infinite potential.
Dory has been facilitating transformational spaces for 25 years.
Her fascination with ‘mind’ and consciousness started as a child, finding a book on meditation and breath mindfulness aged 12, this began her deep thinking and fascination with the human experience and the cosmos.
She was 19 when she started practising Yoga while at University and it quickly became an obsession taking the place of heavy dope smoking, drugs and drinking.
At 22 she took her first Yoga teacher training course and has since, over the past 25 years, trained extensively in mixed spiritual arts.
For the past decade, Dory has been committed to meeting life more deeply through the Shamanic way of the Red Path, through Vision Quest and Moon Dance ceremonies, alongside training as a Mindbody maturation coach.
