Embody Her
Next Journey: June 22nd - 27th
The Shanti Space in Mafra, Portugal
1. What is “Embody Her”?
Embody Her is an experience beyond words. It is a feeling.
The immersion of softness and strength. A reminder of what it feels like to be fully alive in this body, on this earth, in community.
It is embodiment. It is stillness. It is the invitation for meeting those parts of us that we tend to hide in the busyness of everyday life.
Embody Her is vulnerability. It is being seen as the woman you truly are in a circle of women that all meet in their full authenticity.
We don’t say this lightly, but Embody Her has a fierce yet totally pure energy that is going to change the way women live all around the world.
2. Why is this not a typical Retreat?
Embody Her is not a retreat; it is a portal.
Our concept is based on embodied therapy, a doorway for you to find your spark not only in your light, but especially in your shadow.
You will be guided as an intimate group of women through Somatics, Circles, Stillness, Nature Connection & individual Therapy Sessions.
It is a week of courageously stepping out of what you have labeled to be comfortable, and in that energy you will rise, and you will Embody Her.
3. With what do I leave? / What do I take with me?
Embody Her is an experience that is going to reshape the way you perceive and relate in this world. You will throw off the shackles, take up your space, and reclaim the powerful, beautiful, free woman you truly are. It’s a wild yet safe & loving container that allows you to finally open your arms to life.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves:
‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’
Actually, who are you not to be?”
— Marianne Williamson
4. Why do this experience with us?
Because we share what we live: the mission to set women free all around the world.
Our love for one another and this portal runs so deep, it’s impossible to put into words.
We are both therapists - Lara somatic-focused and Star human-centered - and we share the combination of vulnerability and empowerment. The immersion of softness and strength. The balance between the masculine and the feminine.
This is us - Lara & Star!
As a trauma-informed therapist and somatic educator, Lara guides you to reconnect with your body, your emotions, and through that, your authentic aliveness.
She believes that healing isn’t about escaping the dark, but learning to hold it with lightness, where shadow turns into wisdom and depth feels safe again.
Specialized in Somatic Shadow Work™, her approach gently invites you to explore your edges, soften resistance and shame, and discover what you’re truly capable of. Lara creates spaces for collective healing, playful release, and embodied presence
— leaving you with that grounded sense of “I’ve got this. I am capable.” Because, well… you are.
Meet Lara
Star’s magic lies in her devotion to humanity. As a human-centred therapist, women’s circle facilitator, and yin yoga & meditation teacher, she creates spaces where you can bring your whole self — the light and the dark.
She believes that vulnerability in community is the doorway to the freedom we’ve all been aching for, and she reminds women that we are not meant to do life alone.
Sitting with Star feels simple and real. Her presence invites slowing down, honesty, connection, and love. Her work is the living pulse of her favourite words: “People don’t need help. People need love.”
Her intention is not to “fix” you, but to hold you in such love that you begin to remember the power that has always lived inside you.
