Details

This is a 4 day sailing adventure with a unique element that allows women to fully surrender to the flow. Snorkelling, free-diving, and playing mermaids {with actual swimmable mermaid tails}, activating our voice, and deepening our connection to country in the sacred lands & waters of the Ngaro people. Allow your nervous system to relax while being held by mamma ocean and guided by experienced, heart-centred, and uplifting facilitators. This is a once-in-a-lifetime, truly magical opportunity. Ancient stories of mermaids exist in many cultures around the world, and her essence invites us to dive in and trust. To tune into our into-ocean {intuition}, allow the waves of emOcean to flow and to sing our siren song. This is a journey for those ready to activate their voice, dive into more magic and deep exploration, and allow their inner child to thrive! This journey is for you if... - You’ve been desiring a deeper connection with sisters. - You want to feel confident in sharing your voice. - You’re curious or obsessed about ancient civilizations. - You feel fear or excitement thinking about exploring the underwater world. - You’re curious about our water connection and how to honour her. - Your inner child squeals with joy when thinking about being a real live mermaid. - You’d like to get more in touch with your intuition or feel intuition strengthening lately. - You would like to gain practical insight into feeling safe & confident in the ocean. We will have an entire 76ft private yacht to ourselves with a highly experienced sailing crew steering us to the most beautiful islands and coral reef.

Testimonials

info

I built so much more confidence and feel proud of being a mermaid, and my foxy self. And the sisterhood element. The journey with Anua and other sisters helped me to trust women & I learned so much about my femininity. Voice healing was another key element I received from the last mermaid reatreat.

Tanya, Australia

Anua’a space holding is intimate, playful and grounded in truth. She pulls through deep wisdom while giving space for collaborative explorations and insights to emerge. I’m always left feeling energized, invigorated and more aligned to my truth. Anua is a magical mermaid medicine woman with a heart of gold!

Leah, USA

Thanks so much to Anua for holding this session for our sisters to connect from all over the world! Anua led us through the magical importance of water & the power it holds astrologically, spiritually, physically. It was super meaningful for me to connect & share experiences with all the wise women Anua brought together in safe space during a healing time in my life. It's an experience I will always hold dear to my heart & soul.

Mia, Australia

The itinerary was the perfect blend of fun, spirituality, connectedness, and learning new things, including breathing and ocean safety. Priceless experience. These past few days has been the trip of a lifetime!
