The Emergence of PRIMAL

PRIMAL women’s retreats emerged in 2019, after a few

years of deep immersion in women’s circles, sacred ritual, somatic trauma healing, and radical feminine truth. What began as an intimate gathering of women hungry for raw authenticity and sisterhood has evolved into an annual summer pilgrimage. It is a space where the masks of daily performance are laid down, where weeping and laughter are held with equal reverence, and where each woman is guided back into the primal intelligence of her own body.

Unlike commercial wellness retreats, PRIMAL is structured as an initiatory rite of passage. Supported by the wild Norwegian forest, the healing waters of Lake Mjøsa, and daily wood-fired saunas, women are held in deep nervous system safety to experience sovereign empowerment, pelvic de-armoring, and joyful, unfiltered celebration.

“We do not gather to fix what is broken. We gather to remember what was never lost: our wild, sovereign, untamed nature.”

Shadows and Relationships — Love with an Open Heart

Led by Maria Ronyah Kuzmin (Ronyah) • 3.5 Hour Ceremonial Intensive

In this signature deep-dive workshop, Ronyah guides participants into the fertile terrain where shadow meets intimacy. We explore the unacknowledged defenses, fear of engulfment, fear of abandonment, and generational shame that close our hearts. Through somatic IFS parts-dialogue, gentle body-mapping, boundary architecture, and partner co-regulation, women discover how to keep their hearts radically open without losing their grounded boundaries.

Core Inquiries & Practices: 

Methodology & Modalities

Blends Internal Family Systems (IFS) parts dialogue, Neo-Tantric polarity, nervous system de-escalation, and sacred burlesque embodiment into a profoundly safe, shame-free space.
