Blooming Within
A Retreat for Women’s Empowerment
A three day retreat (6-8 Juni 2025) to reconnect with the essence of your being
We, Gonca and Barbara, are very happy to join forces for this very special retreat, combining our unique gifts and shared passion for guiding women on their journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Together, during this retreat we create a sacred space where you can reconnect with the essence of your being, heal deep within, and awaken the radiant power that lies inside you.
From the nurturing embrace of the sacred cacao ceremony to the transformative heat of the sweat lodge, from voice and sound healing to the rite of the womb, the whole retreat is designed to help you align with your authentic self. Together, we will honor the cycles of life, connect with the sacred feminine, and celebrate the beauty and power of sisterhood.
We invite you to join us for Blooming Within, a retreat created with love and intention, where every part of you is welcomed, nurtured, and celebrated.
This retreat is more than just a weekend away; it is an opportunity to step into your own power, surrounded by like-minded women, and guided by heartfelt practices and rituals. At the end of the weekend you will feel renewed, empowered, and inspired.
About the facilitators
With a background in Opera and a passion for sound healing, Gonca Gürses transitioned from professional opera singing to studying Sound Healing with pioneers like Jonathan Goldman and Lama Tashi.
As Turkey’s first certified Sound Healing Therapist and overtone singer, she blends harmonics, voice, and ancient wisdom to facilitate transformation. Through one-on-one sessions, workshops, retreats, and ceremonial concerts, she helps others reconnect with their authentic voice—their ultimate healing instrument.
“While singing, I connect to the source and transmit the sound of the universe in all forms…”
Driven by a deep connection to people, nature, and the unseen, Barbara Jansen creates transformative spaces for healing and self-discovery.
As a retreat leader and sweatlodge guide, she blends ancient wisdom with modern insights, guiding others toward balance and inner clarity.
With a practical yet spiritual approach, she also mentors others in holistic well-being through dõTERRA, empowering them to integrate natural solutions into their lives.
“True transformation happens when we align intuition with action and reconnect with our essence.”
