I have been involved in women’s work for over twenty years. I have learned from many wonderful and great teachers. I have also facilitated many women’s groups over the course of my career as a midwife (and mother). This past weekend that I spent in Joya’s Goddess workshop took it up to the level of the Goddess realm! Joya IS a fragrant expression of our most beautiful JOYOUS Goddess!! She creates a space held by beauty, and an unconditional level of acceptance where every woman can do nothing else but flourish as a simple and radiant expression of the Goddess herself. She truly is a gifted teacher. I can’t wait for more! (Iona R., midwife/healer)

High Priestess Retreat

HIGH PRIESTESS is a Retreat which connected me to the deepest level of my being and my aliveness. On top of that I laughed so much and would like to say that it is a firework on every level.

An intense personality coaching, that brings all, really all dormant or lost energies, abilities and dreams to the surface and makes them real again. I have experienced them and now I can live them again. Maybe some women don’t like the title of the retreat: it seems a little esoteric. Everything that was part of training was very concrete and practical! (Lucia G., Actress/Mother)

I experienced the retreat as a huge enrichment, it strengthened my work and my focus of ‘coming together’ with women. Joya’s ideas and all experiences thereof are amazing. Especially the idea to bring music and movement to these deep inner processes is fabulous. Only this way thoughts and changes manifest, I would have never thought that. Everybody experienced such release and relief, a true joy. (Petra M., Lawyer/Mother)

(Velia Krause, Singer)

It is hard to describe with words how Joya’s workshop and retreat content resonates in me. When I start with it, so many words flow through me and yet they can only mirror a part of this fascinating journey.

The experience of this empowering, energizing, full of realisations, touching, freeing, expansive and fun producing, wonderful retreat is a huge gift, a deep joy. And Centro D’Ompio and surroundings intensify all experiences. Beyond Words Week! 1000 and 1 Thank you and more 🙂

I had such strong visions this week. I discovered so much for myself. Re-discovered. Seen. Realized…I love the meditations, the inner journeys, the sharing and the mirroring. Every time such incredible women gather. It always fascinating how ‘one’/united we are – despite our difference – in our love, joy, fears. How connected we are. The workshops with Joya are enormously expansive, fulfilling, full of wonders. And all of this spills over into normal life. I deeply know that without these experiences I would be somewhere else in my life. Pushes of creativity. Inspiration. Fun. Loving. Connection. Consciousness, different Awareness, taking every day life easy. Healing. Power. Clarity and and and…my learnings in these workshops affect every aspect of my life.

I recommend to start with THE ESSENCE OF THE FEMININE – Level 1, then MERMAID, then Softness, Sensuality. Step by Step this process could deepen and take me further into myself and this way I could truly enjoy the whole week of the High Priestess fully. (Manja D., Actress/Mother, 2.time)
