FUNGI NIPPLE CLAY + FIRE DANCE
A closing ritual with clay, fire, earth and sisterhood, centered around release and transformation.
FUNGI NIPPLE CLAY is a creative collective offering clay rituals for women to reconnect with earth, body, creativity, and play. We shape clay into Fungi Nipples, where mushroom and nipple become one form. An exploration of connection, nourish-ment, and the feminine body. Here, we release perfection and follow character, creating from instinct, from feeling, not form.
The inner rhythm
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO LIVE IN HEART COHERENCE?
Heart coherence is a state of balance between the heart, body, emotions and mind. It is about slowing down enough to listen.
When we create space between the noise of everyday life, we can reconnect with our natural rhythm, our creativity and our ability to be present.
This retreat invites you to explore that feeling through sound, creativity, nature, ritual and community.
“When we create harmony in our minds and hearts, we will find it in our lives. The inner creates the outer. Always.”Louise Hay

THE WOMEN
HOLDING THE SPACE
01
Demetra
Demetra is a sound artist, vocalist, herbalist, and founder of Soulstar Sound Sanctuary and Sweet Spirit Apothecary. Her work is rooted in a deep connection with sound, plants, and the natural world. Through her practice of Vocal Alchemy, she weaves intuitive vocals with crystal singing bowls, crystalline harps, planetary frequencies, and other healing frequencies to create immersive sound journeys that invite deep rest, presence, and inner connection.
As a retreat host, Demetra brings together sound healing, plant rituals, meditation, time in nature, and profound encounters with whales and dolphins. From sharing sound with cetaceans in the wild to gathering flowers for essences and creating botanical offerings, her retreats are an invitation to slow down, reconnect with the living world, and remember the wisdom within.
02
NATALIA
The artist behind the Fungi Nipple CLAY Collective, a community-based project exploring femininity, nature, and connection through clay, Natalia Szalc is a ceramic artist whose work bridges sculpture, ritual, and collective experience.
After a decade of working with clay in New York, Natalia shifted her practice to Pescadero, Baja California Sur, where she focuses on what inspires her most: creating spaces for connection, expression, and embodied creativity.
Through her practice Art as Ritual, Natalia invites participants to explore creativity with playfulness, letting go of control and embracing imperfection as character. She shares this approach through clay, natural botanical dyeing, and indigo, using these processes as tools for presence, connection, and self-expression.
03
Adri
I am a woman of the four elements in expansion.
My path as an entrepreneur is born from the heart and sustained by purpose: to share cacao as medicine, culture, and a bridge to the sacred, the everyday, and the collective. I believe in businesses with soul, beauty, and consciousness — in projects that sprout from the earth, are nourished by care, and are offered to the world as living experiences.
I work with cacao as a teacher, with plants as allies, and with the kitchen as a sacred ritual. Every food I offer, every recipe, every herbal blend is born from listening to the body and honoring ancestral wisdom.
