Because of my first experience with Simona (Sacred Cacao Ceremony) I went on to attend a full 5 day Tantric Awakening Retreat in the Maldives with her.
It was a decision that triggered a domino affect of changes in my life before I even arrived in the Maldives that I could not have imagined possible. Simona holds a space of pure love, complete acceptance, being-ness, surrender, flow, compassion, feminine power & autonomy as well as a tantric connection with all living things.
It was because she held such a powerful container for this retreat that everything in my life out of alignment with that energy had to shift and change as long as I was willing.
In watching and learning from her, surrendering to the process, being immersed in the most beautiful nature, connecting with the most wonderful women and so much more I walked away literally different woman. My partner was so happy with the person who came home to him.
I discovered profound things about myself, how to be in partnership with the universe and my life is not the same.
I think some of the most powerful things a person can learn is from their own realisations, from being given experiences, practices, space to see themselves and their truth from the inside out. That they’re pointed in the direction of their own power, ability to self resource and find self love.
Simona facilitates this which such grace and unconditional love as well as being in my opinion an example of how to live a life that is tantric, empowered and free.
I highly recommend if you can to just be in her space if you want to learn how to love yourself.

Hi. My name is Dorothee. So, I had the great chance to go to Maldives for the first time in my life, and it was a retreat organized by Simona Siclari. It was a fantastic choice, I am really so happy I made that choice. It was a fabulous week in a fabulous environment, we were surrounded by the Ocean, by great Energies and by great people. And when I came back, I felt totally in a very different place. I felt re-energized and I felt full of ideas. I really needed that break, I really needed this women’s time and reconnection to Nature. I think we actually lack nature in our daily lives, and being reconnected in so much beauty, so much peace, so much… it’s just magical being surrounded by the Ocean and by… I don’t know, it’s just there are no other words, it was just magical, and that’s where I got a lot of Energy back and I realized how much I missed Nature. And it’s a very important factor when you want to heal from within, when you want to get your energy back and you need to go back in nature, I think it’s very important. As for our facilitator Simona Siclari, she is gathering people together, connecting people together and she’s making Magic happen and she’s helping us reconnecting with Nature. And for me she is the “Goddess of Love”, purely the “Goddess of Love”, she’s Aphrodite, and that’s what she attracts. And you just look at her eyes, actually for me she represents Maldives and the Beauty and the Water and the Ocean and the Magic. I think, yes, you should experience it. And I don’t know what to say, it’s just…when I look at her and look at her looking at the Ocean I just feel she is just part of this magical environment, and she represents Love. So yes, she’s Magic. And also her Energy makes you have Faith again, it gives you the Energy to go for your Dreams and believe in Love and believe that anything is possible. And like everything suddenly seems easy, it’s like things you thought you couldn’t do. First of all, I love music, and for her anything is possible to reconnect, like to mix music with your daily life and incorporate it and she just goes for it and she just makes it happen. And it’s just magical, it’s like I didn’t know it was even possible to make it happen and it happened. So, yes, a lot of Magic.. And what made me want to go is the program and the energy and getting to know people. And I trusted that it would be an ideal environment to de-stress, to let go of things you want to let go of and to welcome amazing things, new energies. So I decided to sign up and since I came back a lot of things happened, a lot of shifts happened. I went back into playing more piano and mix Spirituality and Music, which is my passion. And my work situation changed and shifted in a positive way, I’m in a very different place than when I arrived in Maldives, so a very beautiful shift. And another amazing thing that happened is that I reconnected with someone I hadn’t seen in 20 years and it’s kind of magical, and I’m very grateful to live where I live in Singapore in a beautiful environment. And yes, I’m sure Maldives and this “Tantric Women Awakening Retreat” has something to do with this whole shift, so go for it!
