Sowing the Seed of the Self
"Come, take a pause from the world and journey inward. OVA Retreat offers a nurturing space for rest, reflection, and playful exploration—an opportunity to reconnect with your essence and sow the seed of your self."

Inspired by the timeless traditions of sisterhood, the retreat weaves together nature, creativity, and ancient practices to help you explore your inner self and embrace balance, playfulness, and authenticity.
Vision
​​
OVA Retreat is a sanctuary for self-exploration and growth—a space where women can connect with their authentic selves and each other. Guided by the ethos of "sowing the seed of the self," the retreat is dedicated to nurturing individuality, self-accountability, and transformation. It aims to create an environment where participants embrace both their feminine and masculine energies, find balance, and reconnect with their dreams, creativity, and innate strength.
Philosophy
The retreat is inspired by the timeless tradition of women gathering in community—spaces where stories are shared, laughter echoes, and bonds are formed without judgment. At OVA Retreat, this age-old sisterhood is revived in a way that aligns with modern sensibilities, fostering connection not just with others but within oneself.
The retreat recognizes that healing and growth are deeply personal journeys. It doesn’t offer quick fixes or external solutions. Instead, it provides a safe, nourishing space for women to reflect, reset, and take responsibility for their own transformations.
The essence of OVA Retreat lies in its integration of ancient wisdom and contemporary practices—drawing inspiration from nature, shamanic traditions, meditative techniques, art, and movement. It is a holistic experience designed to balance the mind, body, and spirit, rooted in Afrah Futun’s personal life philosophy of 6Es: Explore, Experiment, Experience, Express, Enjoy, and Evolve.
