The Power of Community in Transformational Retreats and how we work with it
How true connection fuels healing, growth, and authentic expression
In a fast-paced world dominated by loads of digital noise, the need for genuine human connection is more than a luxury. It’s a necessity for healing and wholeness. This is why transformational retreats that center around community are essential and growing in popularity.
For us at Malachit Events, this truth lies at the heart of every offering.
From the soulful circle work of Embrace, to the deep touch and embodied exploration of MELT, and the deep transformational liberation of BLACK BUTTERFLY as well as many other of our retreats, community isn’t just a backdrop but rather it’s the medicine itself.
Why community is the real catalyst for transformation
While individual growth is often seen as a solo journey, real and deep transformation thrives in a shared space. When we are witnessed (or rather: allow ourselves to be witnessed), when we mirror each other’s truths and when we are held with compassion we become more ourselves.
In community:
Healing is amplified through shared experiences.
Authenticity is encouraged because we feel safe to be seen.
Gifts are exchanged, not just consumed (that’s a big one as well in our society!).
Loneliness dissolves and gets to be replaced by a sense of deep belonging.
Retreats offering this kind of community don’t just provide workshops, they create a living field of support, where vulnerability becomes strength and presence becomes power.
So here’s why you need a Retreat that honors community for experiencing Belonging (be-longing)
Transformational retreats that deeply honor community go beyond self-help. They foster soulful ecology, where each participant is both teacher and student, giver and receiver.
If you are yearning not just for healing, but for deep connection, creative expression, and meaningful belonging, then these retreats are for you.
You don’t need to walk your path alone.
Let yourself be seen. Let yourself be held. Let yourself belong.

Black Butterfly: Shedding, Revealing, Becoming
At Black Butterfly, transformation begins with the courage to let go. This retreat offers a sacred container for those ready to shed outdated skins, old roles, worn identities, quiet shame, and step into a fuller expression of self.
Here, personal evolution is not forced, but invited. Through ritual, deep witnessing, and embodied shadow work, participants are lovingly guided into the art of release. The dark becomes fertile. The unseen becomes sacred.
This is a space for the feminine in all her forms, fierce, soft, grieving, wild - to rise. A space where power is reclaimed not through noise, but through presence. Where beauty is found in the truth beneath the surface.
In Black Butterfly, transformation is not a goal. It’s a homecoming.

MELT: A retreat into touch, eros and presence
In MELT (LINK), community manifests through intimate presence and sensory awakening. This retreat explores the sacredness of touch, the potency of eros, and the importance of boundaries — all within a safe, lovingly held container.
The transformation here is rooted in somatic trust — a deep remembering that our bodies are not separate from others, but part of a greater, living system. In shared vulnerability, participants melt their defenses and find that they are not alone in their desires, their fears, or their longings.

Embrace: Weaving the web of belonging: a community gathering for healing & shared gifts
At Embrace, community is built intentionally. Participants are not just guests — they are co-creators of a sacred village. This retreat invites each person to bring their gifts, share their voice, and engage in deep listening. Workshops, rituals, and shared meals become fertile ground for authentic connection and mutual nourishment.
Here, belonging is embodied, not just spoken about. It’s felt in the eyes of strangers who become family. It’s felt in the rhythm of collective breath and the silence of holding space.
Dates 2025:
Aug 14th - 17th | Austria
