The Golden Ember
The Woman Remembered
There is a woman inside you who knows exactly who she is.
She is not tired. She is not performing. She is not holding everything together for everyone else.
She is wild and wise and deeply at home in her own body.
This retreat is how you find your way back to her.
Saturday 12th June to Thursday 17th June 2027
Villa Lotus, Kediri Bali
A curated elemental journey for women ready to awaken their inner Goddess
Imagine waking in a jungle villa… walking barefoot to morning practice… breathing deeply before the day begins.
Fresh Coconut in hand, conversation with women who feel aligned, open and awake.
Nothing to think about or organise, everything taken care of for you
Imagine dropping into five nights immersed in Earth, Air, Fire and Water; reconnecting with your body, your power, and your deeper truth. This boutique retreat offers a rejuvenating journey of time in nature, soulful practices, and practical tools with an intimate group of women.
Movement. Meditation. Contemplation… Play. Joy. Connection.
An afternoon waterfall blessing, sunset by the ocean, fire ceremony under the stars.
Not rushing. Not performing. Not holding everything together. Returning to yourself.
This is not a holiday. It is a highly curated and deep journey through our deeper self guided by the Elements;
🌿 Earth
🌬 Air
🔥 Fire
🌊 Water
Each day we explore an Element and a corresponding Goddess archetype, working with the body, the feminine, ritual, breathwork, mantra and deep integration.
Hosted by Rachelle Hickson and Laura Dean this retreat has been intentionally designed for depth, safety and true transformation.
You don’t just attend. You journey.
✨ This retreat is for you if:
• You feel at a threshold moment
• You’re craving depth rather than distraction
• You’re ready to honour yourself in a new way
• You want to replenish your energy so you can return to your life wholeheartedly
• You feel the pull of Bali and don’t quite know why
Many women arrive feeling:
Tired.
Overwhelmed.
Holding a lot.
Unsure of their next step.
They leave feeling:
Anchored.
Clear.
Energised.
Connected.
Reminded of who they are.
The woman is often the energetic centre of her family and community — the one so much quietly moves around and responds to. We deeply believe that taking time for yourself is not indulgent; it’s responsible. When a woman replenishes her nervous system, reconnects to herself and fills her own cup, everything and everyone she nurtures benefits too.
Investment from $2,950 AUD.

A tropical, earthy immersion to reconnect with your inner power, reclaim your energy sovereignty, and come home to your body’s wisdom.
As women, we are deeply cyclical, sensual, and intuitive — yet so often disconnected from our natural rhythms. This retreat offers space to pause, to let go, and to return to self.
Exploring the Elements, the Seasons and the Nervous System, this journey invites you to restore your being, soften the need for control, and feel your feminine power rise from within — not through doing more, but through deeper presence.
There will be ample time for contemplation, rest, and peace — allowing you to remember who you truly are and the power that is already here. This is reclamation: not fixing, not striving, not doing, but simply being with yourself in a completely new way.
We will journey through the Elements, connecting to Earth, Air, Water, and Fire in different embodied practices. We will witness this energy in the space around us and allow Bali to show us the spirit alive in all things.
Come to magical Bali with us…
Your hosts;
Rachelle Hickson; kinesiologist, intuitive meditation and SOMA breath facilitator
Rachelle is passionate about helping people to achieve positive change and tangible growth - physically, mentally, and emotionally. She works with the body’s innate intelligence to bring it into a state of equilibrium, so it can shift from survival mode to a place of creativity and power.
Rachelle began her life as a contemporary dancer, exploring movement as language and the body as the tool. Moving into kinesiology in 2010, Rachelle now loves to explore the more subtle elements of the body, and has studied a wide range of modalities, including aromatherapy, life coaching, SOMA Breath, Intuitive Meditation and Human Design.
Her greatest feat however is being the mother of two beautiful young souls. Rachelle lived in Bali in 2025, journeying deep into Balinese culture and spirituality.
Laura Dean; Yoga and Movement Facilitator
With a passion for movement, music, connection and creativity, Laura weaves this thoughtfully and mindfully throughout her yoga practice and daily life. She loves the ability to feel grounded and calm, while adding subtle challenges to ignite the fire and open the heart to possibilities. Living a life of abundance, presence and love is at the core of her being.
In her personal life, you will always find Laura engaged in a good conversation, having a laugh, dancing to music and exploring new places.
Testimonials from our 2026 Embodied Power Women’s Retreat….
“I arrived at this retreat a little crispy around the edges. Five days with Rachelle and Laura and I left feeling like I’d shed my old skin and emerged feeling strong and revitalised.. full of goddess energy!
I’m relatively new to yoga and mindfulness and the idea of a retreat felt a little intimidating. It was the complete opposite. If you’ve been on the fence because it feels a bit out of your comfort zone, that’s exactly why you should go. These two know their craft and they trust each other deeply, and that flows straight into the group.
We moved, breathed, rested and journaled. We swam, ate beautifully, hula hooped, fire-danced and I even cried, screamed and yahoooooed into a waterfall. So powerful!
I returned home with a body that felt pampered and strong, and a mind that was calm, clear and full of joy.
No hesitation. Highly recommend!”
“Exploring an element each day was defining for me. The water element particularly was truly cleansing and transformational. A highlight was the gift of connection with beautiful ladies. Gorgeous venue, delicious food, beautiful Balinese attendants, transformational activities including; yoga, somatic breath work, guided movement, visiting amazing Udara and waterfalls.”
