HOLY EXPOSURE
A MODERN DAKINI RETREAT
4-day nature immersion in Ojai, California
May 7th - 10th, 2026
Holy Exposure is for women who are done circling their own life and ready to step fully into it.
You are capable. Aware. You function well, love deeply, lead. Still, something holds you back. There’s contraction inside. A quiet self-monitoring and management of how much of you gets to show up.
You know there’s more YOU available. More intimacy. More clarity. More aliveness. More rest, play and pleasure.
You don’t need more information. You need space, discernment and an embodied experience. You are ready to cultivate the powerhouse you already are.
This retreat was built for that.
Holy Exposure is a 4-day nature retreat designed to restore self-power and aliveness in the places you learned to hide, perform, or disappear in order to belong.
Through visionary Buddhist practice, somatic work, depth psychology, nature, and community, you will build the internal safety needed to release what's been protecting you, and let more of your power, desire, and creative genius move through. This is not about fixing yourself. It’s about expanding your capacity to receive, to be seen, to let life meet you.
A feminine-led initiation into sovereign expression. A return to yourself, and your unique path.
A weekend holiday, retreat, empowerment and the blueprint.
Shambala Ranch, Ojai, California
WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE:
Modern Buddhist Wisdom: Teachings through a feminine lens, clear awareness, karma, compassionate inquiry, and non-identification.
Depth Psychological: Parts work, inner child healing, and the dismantling of limiting beliefs.
Somatic Intelligence: Movement, vocal practice, and breathwork to ground your expansion in the body.
Guided Contemplation: Meditations on the inner child, future refuge, purification, and manifestation.
Collaborative Inquiry: Visualization, journaling, and dyad work, the bridge of internal experience and the power of being witnessed.
Sacred Sanctuary: Ritual held in the context of nature, silence, and intentional community.
Creative Integration: Practices to weave your breakthroughs into your daily path and expression.
The Precision of 1:1: Direct access to Moun's presence and perception, a precise, embodied approach that goes beyond therapy and conventional coaching. Counsel that trusts and mirrors who you already are.
Sovereign Empowerment: A potent container for inhabiting your highest wisdom. You leave with tools for lifelong integration, not just an experience.
HOW THE RETREAT UNFOLDS:
4-days in 3 intentional phases:
Arrival & Safety: We slow down first. The body needs to trust before it can open. No performing, no rushing to breakthrough.
Holy Exposure: From safety, truth becomes available. Visibility, voice, desire, boundaries, power. Steady and real.
Integration: You leave with more than insight. The work and new capacity settles into the body so it travels home and you.

IS THIS FOR YOU?
This retreat is for the woman who is already doing the work and knows her next expansion is not about trying harder.
You are perceptive. You’ve cultivated awareness. Now you’re ready to fully inhabit it, without collapsing, hardening, or holding yourself back.
You want peace that stays awake. Intimacy that doesn’t cost you yourself. Self-trust that can hold power, pleasure, and responsibility at the same time.
You’re ready to meet the subtle ways you manage, self-monitor, or soften your truth to feel safe, and to release those patterns without force.
You desire depth without drama, power without hardness, and bliss without dissociation. You are done performing growth or proving healing.
You want coherence: your inner world, your body, and your actions moving together.
You want a retreat that supports a shift you’ll feel in real life, clearer boundaries without guilt, truer expression without over-explaining, and a grounded confidence rooted in presence, not persona.
You feel the call to fully occupy your life, to be visible in your vision, and to take your seat at the center of your own experience.
Not just a reset. A return to yourself.
You don't need fixing. You need to grow your capacity to be fully seen, to have and hold more without bracing, collapsing, or shutting down.
Intimacy without entanglement. Depth without collapse. Power without armor.

meet your mentor
My name is Mountaha, and I go by Moun. I'm a Brazilian-born Buddhist practitioner and practical mystic, devoted to loving and living fully, teaching, and transmitting what I practice. My work integrates Buddhism, psychology, somatic practice, and creative expression, what I call the Modern Dakini Method, a lived approach to truth, embodiment, and self-trust.
I've cleaned houses and walked runways. Been on television and sat in silence for months at a time. Loved deeply and lost deeply. Studied with masters and learned from ordinary people in impossible circumstances. What that life built in me is more than a resume, it's capacity. The ability to see real potential inside real pain.
I teach retreats because these depths can't be accessed alone or online. When women come together in a shared container, held by practice, land, and time, something reorganizes. The nervous system relaxes. Truth becomes accessible. Real change takes root.
I'm not leading you somewhere I've arrived. I'm leading you somewhere I live.

LOVE NOTES:
“Each of Moun’s exercises leads us to a more free version of ourselves. I cannot say thank you enough for not only introducing me to a precious group of women that I have bonded with but introducing me to new potential in myself and my dharma.”
Ann
“When you meet your mentor, your teacher, your guide, it’s not something you plan - it’s something you feel, deep in your bones. I learned that all that I am, not just the pretty parts, ALL of it is okay. It’s safe to be sad, to be scared, to be unsure. I felt cradled and held by Moun’s love and acceptance.”
Nicole
“Working with Moun has been deeply transformational on all levels. She holds a potent space that invites more possibilities while illuminating blindspots with tenderness and compassion. She is a rare gem in her level of devotion to this work - just being in conversation with her feels like it's unlocking codes for liberation, love, and compassion.”
Brighid
“Moun creates a safe space that helps us, students, to open up and speak freely. She always listened to me with undivided attention. I learned to see things from another perspective, be patient, accept the things that I cannot change, and many other life-changing tools that are helping me go through life with more ease.”
