NGORONGORO CRATER
One of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

FINAL DAY IN ZANZIBAR
The final day is reserved for rest and reflection, allowing you to gently integrate all that has unfolded during the retreat.

8-Day Retreat: January 18 - 25, 2026
To the women called to remember who they’ve always been
Set between the sacred lands of Tanzania and the turquoise shores of Zanzibar, this 8-day journey is a soulful call for women ready to remember who they truly are. In a world that often silences the soul, this retreat offers space for healing, restoration, and deep reconnection: to self, to spirit, and to the sacred balance of the feminine and masculine.
A unique collaboration between Feminine Fitrah & Glimpse of Tanzania, this experience provides a container for women to engage in deep inner work, gently leading to a shared space of unity, reflection and integration.
Through silence, nature, movement, and ancient wisdom, you will reconnect with your essence and meet the version of yourself you were always meant to become.
With love,
Chahira

For the Women Ready to Remember
This retreat is for the women whose souls are whispering there is more.
For the ones who feel the quiet ache of longing, to return, to remember, to rise.
It is for the women who:
Long to reconnect with their essence and remember who they truly are.
Crave sacred time away from responsibilities to listen inward and be held by nature.
Carry an inner knowing that cannot be ignored any longer.
Are ready to shed the weight of what no longer serves and step into their true essence.
Crave the embrace of sacred sisterhood and the safety of being fully seen.
Want to experience Tanzania not just as travelers, but as women on a soulful journey, weaving land, culture, and spirit into their own transformation.
Feel the call to weave spirit and earth, shadow and light, into a deeper wholeness.
Just like the sunflowers turn to the sun, we too are called to turn toward the light toward healing, sisterhood, and the One who created us.
This retreat is your turning point.
This retreat is not a pause from life.
It is a return to it.
Meet Your Facilitator
Chahira Battou, a dedicated practitioner in psycho-spirituality, gently guides you on a journey of self-reconnection, energetic alignment, and profound inner transformation. Her workshops are immersive spaces for deep healing and awakening, where psychology meets soul, and where ancient wisdom meets embodied practice.
Through powerful themes such as inner child healing, shadow work, and feminine-masculine energy, Chahira invites you to explore the sacred dualities that shape your inner world: the child and the inner adult, darkness and light, feminine and masculine.
These sessions are more than therapeutic, they are alchemical. With compassion and depth, Chahira helps you uncover what has been hidden, soften what has been hardened, and awaken what longs to be lived. The ultimate intention: to guide you toward balance, clarity, and a deeper understanding of your true essence, so you may walk in greater harmony with yourself and the world around you.
Tanzania is more than a destination, it is sacred ground, the cradle of humanity, where spirit and land breathe as one.
Here, among ancient wilds and the endless ocean, we step into a space held by the earth itself for our remembering.
The Cradle of Humanity: To walk this land is to return to our deepest origins, a spiritual homecoming written in the soil.
Whispers of the Wild: Lions, elephants, and vast savannahs reflect our own inner power and instinct, awakening the sacred feminine.
The Ocean as Healer: Zanzibar’s pristine waters cleanse, renew, and remind us of the fluidity of spirit.
A Sacred Mirror: Every horizon, every breath of wind, becomes a reflection of the journey within.
Elemental Sanctuary: Earth, fire, water, and air converge here, creating a container where women can release, expand, and rise.
It’s not just a destination. It’s a journey into the heart of wild beauty.
Why Tanzania?
Every day will be anchored in powerful workshops and embodied practices that move with the rhythm of the elements. Fire, earth, water, air, and spirit will guide our days, mirroring the cycles within us and around us. While the exact content of each workshop remains a surprise, held in reverence and mystery, know that there will be space for everything that longs to be seen, felt, and alchemized.
