Feminine Power Retreat
Gaia Retreat Centre
Bali, Indonesia
4th - 9th September 2025
You're invited to step into a new level of yourself, that can only be uncovered through living from your FEMININE POWER.
Are you feeling lost, disempowered, or struggling to find your own path?
Are you holding self-limiting beliefs of not feeling good enough or deserving?
Are torn between societal expectations and your true self?
Are looking for a clearer sense of purpose, direction, and a renewed perspective on life’s journey?
Or perhaps you are feeling drained, overwhelmed or disconnected and want to be full in your feminine energy again?
It’s time to let go of self-doubt, playing small, over-giving, and accepting a lesser version of your life than you came here to experience and express as a GODDESS that you are!
learn how to…
be powerful yet still feminine
be assertive but remain compassionate
lead from your heart without the need to compete with others
achieve success without exhaustion and ‘hustling mode’
balance feminine and masculine energies within you
Join us for a luxury retreat in Bali where you get to create the plot twist in your life!
When it comes to expressing power, in society, women are often presented with two limited choices: hypermasculinity or passive femininity. We believe in a third way, a harmonious blend of empathy, collaboration, and collective power that allows you to craft a life that’s uniquely yours.We’re going to help you shift these beliefs so that you can step into your own unique power and recognise your unique strengths, and move together through transformation supported by other women. And of course, we’re going to have fun! You’ll walk away with new connections to like-minded women and strategies to better lead yourself and others and become awakened to more powerful roles and opportunities in your life.Create a new story with feminine power.
After this retreat you will:
Gain a greater sense of self-awareness, appreciation of yourself, and learn to live more fully and authentically as a woman.Improve your self-esteem and learn how to become more sensual, magnetic, and proud of your feminine energy.Learn how to cultivate a deeper understanding of yourself and your own unique energy, and learn to balance and integrate different aspects of your personality to gain more fulfilment in your life.Learn tools to build emotional resilience and navigate life’s challenges with greater grace and composure.Establish meaningful connection with other like-minded women, creating supportive network that extends beyond the retreat!Continue with the integration process with 3 complimentary post-retreat group coaching sessions to embed the insights from the retreat once you’re home.

Retreat location
During your retreat, you’ll be staying at the breathtaking Avalon Ubud Castle & Spa — a sacred sanctuary unlike anywhere else in Bali.
Tucked beside the serene Wai Yus River and carved into the stone cliffs of Ubud, Avalon feels like a hidden world — mystical, luxurious, and deeply grounding. With its ancient-inspired architecture, flowing water features, and dramatic jungle views, every inch of this place is designed to awaken your senses and soothe your soul.
You’ll have the option to stay in a private room, junior suite, or shared villa (3- to 4-bedroom options available), so whether you prefer privacy or shared sisterhood, you’ll find what feels right for you.
Just steps from the main property is the Lost City — an enchanting extension of Avalon featuring intricate sculptures, carvings, and sacred spaces that will make you feel as though you’ve stepped into a mythical dream.
And yes, you’ll feel like a queen.
Onsite, you’ll have access to the Avalon Spa, which offers affordable, deeply nourishing treatments including Ayurvedic massage, acupuncture, aromatherapy, reflexology, facials, manicures, pedicures, Pranic Healing, and flower baths — perfect for unwinding after a day of inner work and expansion.
The grounds also feature three stunning pools, including one hidden in a natural cave, and peaceful lounge areas where you can journal, rest, or simply listen to the river as it flows past.
From the moment you arrive, everything is designed to support your transformation — not just emotionally and spiritually, but physically and energetically, too.
