About this Retreat
Your Guides
Schirin Chams-Diba is a mystica, sacred dancer, movement medicine facilitator, healer and pilgrim of the Heart. From a young age, she has followed an unmistakable inner call from the Divine—one that has guided her onto a lifelong path of healing, adventure, and truth. Descending from a long line of Persian healers and wise women, she has immersed herself in sacred dance, yoga, spiritual lineages, esoteric arts, somatic movement practices, hypnotherapy and natural medicine. Her dance repertoire includes traditions from Spain along the Silk Route to India and beyond.
After decades of extensive immersive education, global exploration, devoted study, and the cultivation of her own embodied practice, she now shares her gifts in service to the Greater Good. Her mission is to restore THE BEAUTY WAY of the world through the holistic arts of life. The weaving of these threads has given rise to her unique method, Essence of the Feminine™.
This apporach to sacred dance arts is a gentle return to the wisdom that lives in a woman’s body. Through flowing movement, breath, and rhythm, women reconnect with their inner currents, awaken intuition, release what no longer serves, and reclaim their natural radiance. Held in the circle, they are witnessed, supported, and reminded of their innate power, sensuality, and the living, luminous essence of the feminine within.
