Imagine waking in a jungle villa… walking barefoot to morning practice… spending 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.

Imagine this being the way you enter May 2026…

Waking slowly in a private jungle villa, soft morning light through the trees. Walking barefoot across the grass to the shala, breathing deeply before the day begins. Fresh Coconut in hand, conversation with women who feel aligned, open, awake.

Movement. Meditation. Stillness.

An afternoon waterfall blessing, sunset by the ocean, fire ceremony under the stars.

Not rushing. Not performing. Not holding everything together. Just returning to yourself.

This is not a holiday.

It is a highly curated and deep journey through the Elements —
🌿 Earth
🌬 Air
🔥 Fire
🌊 Water

Each day we explore a corresponding Goddess archetype, working with the body, the feminine, ritual, breathwork, mantra and deep integration.

Hosted by Rachelle (over 14 years supporting women one-on-one through kinesiology and embodiment work and after living in Bali last year) and Laura (over 8 years of facilitating yoga and also a travel guru) 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.
Stretched.
Holding a lot.
Unsure of their next clear step.

They leave feeling:

Anchored.
Clear.
Energised.
Connected.
Reminded of who they are.

Taking five days for yourself is not indulgent. It’s responsible. When you replenish your system, everything you lead benefits. You are the Sun your family/community are orbiting around. When you take the time for you, everyone benefits.

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.

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. She has been living in Bali for the past 10 months.

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.
