REBIRTH & BLOOM
4-day Easter Women’s Retreat
7.-10.4.23
Les Semailles, Gryon, Switzerland
Your journey
letting go - creating space - rebirthing
You know you have out-grown an old version of you. You feel that it is time to let go, time to step into a new version of you.
And yet the old still feels comfortable. The old calls you back.
Simultaneously the new feels exciting and at the same time undefined and sometimes scary.
This retreat journey is designed to help you let go and to create space for this new version of you. Life is a constant journey of growth. A constant journey of allowing new versions of ourselves to get born and bloom.
Maybe you have known for a long time that it is time to shed an old layer or take off a mask you have out-grown, but something has been holding you back. Maybe you have been wanting to start a project, start your business or take a scary decision, but fear and doubt have been holding you back.
I believe that you were meant to bloom, to experience and also sometimes to fail and get up again. Life and growth are not linear evolutions, but a mountaineous journey of ups and downs.
To live life fully we get to be brave and dare to show up, bring our ideas into this world and share our learnings.
Elizabeth Gilbert - Big Magic
“I had creativity within me that was original; I had a personality within me that was original; I had dreams and perspectives and aspirations within me that were original. But my fear was not original in the least. My fear wasn’t some kind of rare artisanal object; it was just a mass-produced item, available on the shelves of any generic box store.”
Selin Leuch
Follow that urge within you to live life boldly, creatively and guided by possibility and curiosity.
creative & brave living beyond fear
There is so much creativity, potential and possibility within you. But so often we don’t allow it to flow - we think we are not good enough, what we say doesn’t matter or what we do is not original enough.
What if these seeds and ideas are planted within YOU for a reason? What if only you can bring it out in your way?
What if you could live life more from a place of inspiration and less from a state of comparison?
What if the time to start is NOW?
It is normal that fear and doubts are part of creative & brave living. And it is ok that they are there and we get to learn how to welcome & process fear. Or as Elizabeth Gilbert in Big Magic puts it:
“So I don’t try to kill off my fear. I don’t go to war against it. Instead, I make all that space for it. Heaps of space. Every single day. I’m making space for fear right this moment. I allow my fear to live and breathe and stretch out its legs comfortably. It seems to me that the less I fight my fear, the less it fights back. If I can relax, fear relaxes, too. In fact, I cordially invite fear to come along with me everywhere I go. I even have a welcoming speech prepared for fear, which I deliver.”
Your travel destination
Les Semailles is a cozy and homy chalet at 1300 m altitude. When you arrive in your home for this four days, you will find yourself within a green & calm forest paradise - a perfect setting to disconnect and have space for yourself. The breath-taking views on the surrounding mountains (les Dents du Midi, le Miroir d’Argentine) support the process of taking a step back and noticing where you have been keeping yourself small or holding back.
Your rebirthing activities
embodiment, yoga, sound & nature immersion
You will get to experience different tools and rituals that allow you to process and feel free to step into your new version.
We will:
relax and strenghten through yoga
release through breathwork
process through embodiment
reconnect with joy and yourself through sound
find direction & inspiration in nature, through journalling, creativity and sharing

Selin Leuch - Retreat Organizer, Yoga teacher, Hypnotherapist & Nature Lover
In March 2020, Selin's path of seeking brought her to a yoga teacher training in India. She had been practicing yoga and meditation on and off since 2015 and loved the calming effect it had on her mind. During that program, she realized that she had only ever touched the surface.
By peeling off layer after layer of expectations, perfection, doubts, ego, and numbing; she was able to go much deeper. What she found was the enough-ness and acceptance she always tried to find on the outside. What she found was more clarity and real freedom to just be – to be the whole of herself.
Her journey was also to move from the head to the heart, from the masculine to the feminine, which is why she is excited to co-create this transformative space for you!
