The Art of Birth: Verrierdale, QLD

Wednesday 21st May - Monday 26th May, 2025
5-Night Immersive Workshop/Retreat in Verrierdale, Queensland
🌿 The Nature of Birth: An Immersive Retreat Exploring Birth, Sensuality & the Elements 🔥💦
Step into a true nature retreat—a sanctuary where the elements of earth, fire, water, and air intertwine with birth, vitality, and transformation.
Join Naolà Vinaver for an intimate 5-night immersive experience in the lush, sun-kissed landscape of Verrierdale, Queensland—the northernmost and warmest of our retreats. Here, surrounded by serene forests, a tranquil lake, and nourishing earth, we will explore birth through the lens of nature itself.
This is our most intimate retreat, designed for those seeking a deeper, more embodied understanding of birth—whether you are a midwife, doula, mother, healer, or simply drawn to the wisdom of birth and the feminine.
A Retreat in and of Nature
Unlike any other workshop, this experience unfolds in harmony with the land. We will gather under shady trees, sit in circle by the fire, wade in the lake, and embrace the warmth of the sun. The very elements that sustain life will serve as our teachers:
🔥 Fire: We will sit by the fire each evening, delving into the heat element of birth—its transformative power, its intensity, and its role in emotional and physical preparation.
đź’¦ Water: We will explore the amniotic essence of life in the sauna and by the lake, immersing ourselves in its gentle embrace as we reflect on fluidity, surrender, and the flow of birth.
🌳 Earth: Surrounded by the grounding presence of nature, we will move, breathe, and connect with the body’s innate wisdom, deepening our awareness of the vital mother-child connection.
🌬️ Air: With open skies above us, we will share extraordinary birth stories and unravel the mysteries of birth, breath, and energy.
This retreat also offers the luxury of rest and renewal, with a pool and sauna available for integration and relaxation—honoring both the body's need for movement and stillness.
What You’ll Experience
Through a blend of traditional and contemporary midwifery wisdom, movement, storytelling, and deep discussion, we will explore:
- Vitality & sexual energy as the foundation of intrauterine life
- Techniques for unlocking and unblocking sexual energy
- The heat and cold processes in emotional & sexual health (explored by the fire)
- Sensuality, sensitivity & their connection to birth
- Erotic, emotional & body awareness in childbirth
- The intelligence of the placenta & fetal positioning through hands-on practice
- The power of medicinal herbs & homeopathic approaches for pregnancy, birth & postpartum
- The physiological, emotional & spiritual dimensions of birth
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to immerse yourself in nature and birth wisdom, returning home deeply enriched, nourished, and renewed.
