I am creating this campaign in order to raise funds to create what I believe I am here to create in this lifetime. A space to be able to share to as many people as possible the profound practices of water therapy and psychedelic rebirthing. It is my dream to create a centre to offer water therapy, psychedelic, rebirth journeys, and dreamwork therapy integration, within the mountains of Sinai, where I have been living for the past 5 years. My nature is to share all things water has taught me!
The pool would enable me to…
*Offer Weekly water dance therapy, affordable for locals. (This currently takes place in the ocean and is only possible for 2 months of the year because of the temperature).
*Offer one to one water therapy sessions
(One day per month will be dedicated to offering lower rate sessions to local bedouins or people in need)
*Offer one to one overnight psychedelic rebirth therapy sessions incorporating the element of water (Something which is such a profound experience of the life and which I have been struggling to do without a private water pool)
*Hold space for water birthing (This is highly sought after by women in Dahab, and so far there is no space to do this)

My long term goals for the pool are to build a healing centre to provide different programs following specific needs, for example:
-Live out rehab programs, offering water therapy and dreamwork for those in recovery from drug / alcohol addiction
(Free spots for bedouin locals who are sadly affected by such things due to western influence over the years).
-End of life water therapy, psychedelic rebirthing and dreamwork for integration of the life.

Two years ago at the Boom Festival in Portugal, I gave a water therapy session to a man from California, after the session he shared with me that he had never experienced anything like it, he was blown away, telling me it was deeper and more profound than any psychedelic experience he had ever experienced. When I told him that I was also working with therapeutic psychedelic rebirthing, he told me that I just had to create a space for such work, that I should apply for funding and that all people should experience such a thing in their life.
Within many ancient cultures, including Egypt, the first places of healing existed as water and dream temples. Visitors were advised to bathe throughout the day and to pay close attention to their dreams at night, inviting messages of healing and transformation. Myths and dreams were woven and explored in order to access the multitude of human complexes and passions present within the psyche. Through water dancing, water therapy, and dreaming practices we journey into the depths of ourselves. Dream practices, water, and psychedelic experiences, work together to release complexes and tensions within the body and mind, allowing us to return to our joyful, present and flowing nature in full authenticity, to return to our source ,releasing patterns from past trauma and experiences.
A few years ago I dreamt of travelling beneath the ground of the majestic mountains of Sinai, I was shown the reason why these lands are so healing. I saw that underground there was the metal plutonium (the metal of transformation), and I realised that these mountains are holding the space for those going through trauma, suffering, and transformation so deeply, because the mountains also know how it it to deal with such tensions, movement, transformations on a physical level. When I awoke, I checked the geology of Sinai and found that the dream was accurate. From this time onwards I knew this was the place for this work to take place.

Who am I?
I am Molly. A freediving instructor, water dancer, water therapist, hypnotherapist and Jungian dream worker.
Throughout the past 4 years I have been traveling to sharing these practices in Germany (Berlin Liquiddrom) , Portugal (Boom Festival) and Poland (Green Circles), alongside being based in Egypt, due to the innate belief that all should experience the healing of water and the profound experience of the psychedelic rebirth at least once in their life. I have also been leading weekly water dance therapy and water therapy here in Dahab, in the ocean when it is warm enough, and monthly community dream groups. I feel that it is time to create a home for these practices, not only to make them more readily accessible for more people, but also to allow for the merging of water therapy and psychedelic rebirthing. To conduct psychedelic rebirths in the water it is needed to have a pool which is in a private space to allow for the experience.
I am a therapist, creative and space holder, and I can speak with all of my truth that to go through such an experience as the psychedelic rebirth in the water is something which all humans should experience once during their lifetime, it is a deeply profound experience which takes you deep within yourself, offering deep healing from past trauma. Having dedicated my life to exploring and learning such practices, I have not the money needed to invest in such a project. I am trusting that there are humans on this earth who will resonate with the depth and importance of these practices, and who will invest in such a project.

What is Water Therapy?
Water therapy allows you to relax, reconnect with your body and mind and let go of everything existing outside of you.
Through releasing tensions and trauma within the mind and body you enable yourself to return to your joyful, present and flowing nature. After a session you realise just how much you were carrying, and the beauty of feeling your own lightness of being.
Being held, moved and massaged, surrounded by water, allows us to revisit the environment of the womb. The water supports us, allowing for a deeper state of relaxation and journeying into oneself.
During the journey one can expect to fly, to feel out of body, to journey into oneself, to receive memories and insights into the moment of ones birth, or other profound life events. To laugh, to cry, to release, to smile. Once slowly coming back to the body one feels lighter than they have ever felt before, free from tensions of body and mind, in connection with their authentic child like self.
Aside from the experience of pure bliss, water therapy is also beneficial for emotional release and for supporting PTSD, depression, anxiety, ADHD, insomnia, addiction recovery and stress. Physical therapeutic uses include injury rehabilitation, reducing physical tensions and pain and increasing joint mobility and flexibility.
What is Psychedelic Rebirthing?
Following the groundbreaking framework of Stanislav Groff, psychedelic rebirthing, through breathing (for example), invites you to journey through your personal birth experience, with the intention of connecting with your ancestors, culture, humanity... Providing a powerful opportunity to release traumas buried deep within your personal, ancestoral and collective unconscious.
We know that the moment of our birth shapes our entire human experience. Consciously revisiting this moment, gives us a chance to relive our birth and look at ourselves, our parents and our emotions from a new perspective; to recognize traumatic experiences and release repressed emotions and patterns. Ultimately allowing us to make conscious decisions rather than unconscious reactions on our life journey.
Within this work I have both experienced for myself, and witnessed, many powerful transformations. One individual suffered from life long claustrophobia, and upon undertaking their rebirth experienced the unconscious memory of being in the womb whilst their mother was in a car accident, allowing them to release this fear, the claustrophobia disspeared.. another realised that a life long tremor was connected to the pain killers given to their mother and was no longer serving him. For others, it comes to consciousness that being left alone for the first days of their life due to complicated birth procedures had left them with the unconscious pattern of retreating and managing things alone when overwhelmed with life, allowing them to over ride such habits and welcome deeper connection to friends, family and community. It is hard to explain in words the realisations.. I feel this experience is one that each human life should enter through on their journey.

Testimonials…
"The Water Body experience was an extraordinary experience that transformed my relationship with water. Although I've always loved water, I've also struggled with it, feeling both drawn and apprehensive. This retreat changed everything for me. Through breath meditations, authentic movement, and somatic practices, I learned to release old patterns and embrace the buoyancy and bliss of water. I now feel a deep sense of peace and connection when I'm in the water, and it's a gift I'll carry with me for the rest of my life. I feel incredibly blessed to have been part of this transformative journey."
“I want to express my feelings towards your retreat. My boyfriend commented that for a longe time, he hasn’t seen me so happy… I really felt myself open more and more throughout the water sessions. I didn’t now know how much I needed this, and my god, I was in super need of an experience such incredible as this one. It was truly inspirational, emotional, sensorial retreat for me. Thank you so much for your openness and your energy. For me it was magical - from all the water sessions, to the private one I had with you. I am still blown away with everything and each time I talk about it, my eyes shine giving hands to a huge smile in my face. I learnt a lot from you, not only in the water but outside of it too.
Last night when I was at home, I could still feel water around me and around my head - dancing with you and everyone in the water was truly - and as you say - going back to source. It felt right, it felt home in many levels. I thank the universe for making us cross paths and I thank myself for allowing me to dive into your world. “

My life long relationship with water…
Though out all of my life, it is water that has kept me here living on this planet.
When I was just a child, I found my peace through swimming laps in the swimming pool during time trials, disappearing into the rhythm of movement through water.
When I was a teenager it was moving to the coast and swimming in the chaotic waves ocean of Brighton beach each day which allowed me to fight back against my depression.
When I was 25, and I got stuck on a boat for 4 months during COVID time, stranded from family, from my partner, without internet connection, without access to what was going on in the outside world, it was freediving deep into the unknown depths of the water that allowed me to take a moment of peace amongst all of the suffering, thoughts, longing and fears. It was also during this time that I realised the power of the relationship between being in water and dreams. For the first time in my life I began to lucid dream, receive ,messages from the real world in my dreams and visit loved ones in my dreams.
Since then it is water dancing that has taught me how to flow like water, to surrender to the flow and unexpected directions of life.
My relationship with psychedelic rebirthing:
It was when I undertook my own psychedelic rebirth that I realised that I had been stuck for the first 27 years of my life in a state of depression where I could not say that I actually enjoyed to be alive, I enjoyed being in the water state of the womb, but I was only trying to survive when it came to being embodied within the earthly realm. Since this process and the following few months of integration, seeing all of the hidden thought patterns and beliefs, I have felt excited by the gift of life each day, the curiosity, the potential, the ability to create and dream. As I said previously, I feel that all human being should go through this process at least one in their life to reconnect with their true essence.
