Limited Spaces Left For Mozambique May 19 - 24 2027 >
Why We Hold This Space
We didn't build Awakened Roots Retreats because it looked beautiful.
We built it because we went looking for spaces that went deep enough - and we couldn't find them.
Not the wellness-getaway kind. Not the "relax and sip a smoothie" kind. We were looking for somewhere that could hold the real stuff — the exhaustion, the unraveling, the parts of ourselves we'd been too busy to face. That space didn't exist for us.
To return to the earth that raised us, to sit in circle as our mothers did, to let the land hold what words cannot, to remember we were never meant to carry it alone… to come home to ourselves.
So we built it ourselves.

May 19 - 24 2027
Mozambique
In Saltfire Awakening, you'll be guided through conscious connected breathwork, sacred cacao ceremony, and somatic practices — held by the rhythm of the tide and the wild, open coastline of Tofo. Together, we create space for your nervous system to settle and for what's been held tightly to finally soften, release, and be witnessed.
What You’ll Experience:
- Conscious connected breathwork journeys to release stored emotion and regulate the nervous system
- Sacred cacao ceremonies for heart-led insight and deeper self-connection
- A safe, held space within a supportive circle of women — no prior experience needed
- Daily embodied movement, grounding rituals, and integration practices to anchor what you've released
- Spacious time for rest, ocean immersion, and reflection along the Mozambican coast
This is more than a women's retreat in Africa - it's a return to the body and truth beneath the roles, the noise, and the holding it all together.
You'll leave softer, clearer, and more anchored in yourself.
19TH - 21ST March 2027
Nyanga
Return to yourself with a weekend immersive women's retreat in the Eastern Highlands, designed to help you release what you've been carrying and reconnect to your body, truth, and inner voice.
In Her Undoing, you'll be guided through conscious connected breathwork, sacred cacao ceremony, and somatic practices - held by the quiet of the mountains and the wide-open stillness of Nyanga. Together, we create space for your nervous system to settle and what's been held beneath to finally rise, be seen, and be integrated.
What You'll Experience:
- Conscious connected breathwork journeys to release stored emotion and regulate the nervous system
- Sacred cacao ceremonies for heart-led insight and deeper self-connection
- A safe, held space within a supportive circle of women - no prior experience needed
- Daily mountain trail walks, grounding rituals, and integration practices to anchor what you've released
- An optional Skydeck Skywalk for those called to it - never pressured, always your choice
- An optional cold plunge in the river, for those ready to meet their edge
- Spacious time for rest, reflection, and the wide stillness of the Eastern Highlands
This is more than a women's retreat in Africa - it's a return to the self beneath the roles, the noise, and the performing. You'll leave grounded, clearer, and reconnected to your truth.
Hello there!
We Are Chelsea
& Lunds
So glad you found your way here
Between us, we've walked through depression, motherhood, loss, and the slow work of coming back to ourselves. So when we hold space for you, it's not theory — it's lived experience.
We believe your body already holds the answers, and nothing about you needs fixing. Our work is simply guiding you back to it - with compassion, honesty, and a little humour along the way.
Together, we create immersive women's retreats across Africa -transformational spaces where you don't have to perform, hold it together, or have it figured out. You just have to arrive.
Together, this isn't theory for us.
It's lived.
This is why we hold space the way we do - with nervous system awareness, breathwork, and zero pressure to perform or have it together.
We're not here to fix you. You're not broken.
We're here to remind you that you're already whole - and to hold the space while you remember it.
This is for the woman who is done performing, done holding it all together, done waiting for life to slow down before she chooses herself.
This is where she comes back to herself.
