SACRED FEMININE AWAKENING – A Tantra Retreat in Bali

I'm going to tell it to you straight. I'm looking for an epic group of women to do epic shit with here in Bali.

A tribe of women who have the courage to live life on their own terms.

This isn't a vacation. It isn't a guided tour. And it definitely isn't another personal development retreat.

It's a real immersion into a different way of living, created exclusively for women who know they deserve more and are done settling for crumbs.

It's for women looking for a tribe to grow with and take life to the next level—emotionally, physically, mentally, and financially.

A space beyond time and place, for women who know they're capable of having and creating everything they truly desire.

No excuses.

My Story

I've dreamed of living in Bali since 2015, when I first came here searching for answers to my health struggles and driven by a deep desire to live life on my own terms—outside outdated cultural and social systems.

I wanted to find an extraordinarily beautiful place where I could reclaim my health, vitality, and feminine essence. I wanted to create a life of freedom, complete financial sovereignty, and true prosperity—something I held an almost unwavering belief was meant for me.

Oh... and my soulmate too.

Not asking for much, right?

But my vision was crystal clear:

Live an epic life, or don't live it at all.

If this resonates with you...

If you see yourself in even a small part of my story—or if it simply inspires something inside you—I want to meet you. I want you in my tribe.I want us to grow together. To uncover what's hidden beneath the trauma of not feeling seen, not feeling worthy, and then move beyond it—toward abundance, adventure, and a life fully lived.

If that's you, here's what I've prepared for you.

Ten days packed with everything Bali has given me over the last five years of calling this island home.

  • We'll dive into tantra practices and workshops on sexuality, femininity, and abundance.

  • We'll attend private gatherings, special parties, and tea ceremonies.

  • We'll dance at ecstatic dance and explore contact improvisation.

  • We'll practice yoga every day in epic locations overlooking the jungle.

  • We'll nourish ourselves with organic food and exotic tropical fruit—especially the king himself: durian.

  • We'll head to the ocean and swim exactly as Mother Nature made us.

  • We'll take part in water and fire purification ceremonies led by Balinese priests and healers (this is actually why I came to Bali for the first time).

  • And of course... Balinese massages. As we deserve.

  • We'll hold space for one another and witness the shared experience of the women in the group—the tears and the laughter, the breakthroughs and the limitations, the healing and the transformation.


Together we rise.

Over the years, I've completely rewritten my story around femininity, sexuality, my body, money, and the men in my life. And along the way, I started attracting women who are looking for the very same thing. They're on the same path. They're at that point in life where something has to change.

You arrive as one woman. You leave as another.

Maybe it's the intense tantra practices, the meditations, or the circle of women somehow reflecting back to you—word for word—exactly what you need to see and hear about yourself.

Maybe it's the luxury and beauty you wake up to every single morning.

Maybe it's what the Balinese priest tells you during the private fire and purification ceremony at his family home.

Maybe it's that one ecstatic dance where you completely forget about yourself and become the dance—sweaty, free, and transported into another dimension.

(I'm not kidding when I say we get high on our own supply. Every woman who's ever joined one of my retreats can confirm that.)

Maybe it's that tropical storm when we threw our clothes on the ground, danced, laughed, and saw ourselves for the very first time in all our beauty—without shame, without comparison, only with admiration.

Maybe it's our final Temple Night, when we gathered in ceremony, wrapped in our sarongs, sitting around candlelight, taking them off one by one, sharing what our bodies would say if they could finally speak.

Maybe it's one of those Balinese massages in your own room, when you realize how long it's been since someone touched you with that much gentleness and safety.

Maybe it's the very last day, when a circle of women covers you with flowers, compliments, and genuine sisterhood in a way you've never experienced before.

Or maybe your Bali story will become something even greater than that.

What the Women Who've Already Been Here Have to Say:

"It was beyond my expectations. The atmosphere of sisterhood and intimacy was unlike anything I'd ever experienced. Unreal in its beauty, almost paradise-like, yet completely real, authentic, and deeply human."

"It was the richest personal experience I've ever had. I loved the connection that was created between us. I discovered a place I know I'll keep coming back to whenever I need to recharge."

"I felt openness and authenticity from the very beginning. Usually, when I feel uncomfortable, I withdraw. But here, I never felt the need to. The natural way everything unfolded made me feel safe and completely free from judgment."

"Openness, vulnerability, acceptance, sharing, solidarity, and so much empathy. It exceeded my expectations by far. This retreat confirmed that listening to my intuition always leads me exactly where I need to be."

"It was wonderful. I haven't felt this connected to myself—and to other women—in a very long time. It completely exceeded my expectations. Before the retreat, I was in a really low place and almost didn't come."

"There were tears. Vulnerability. Acceptance. Healing."

"I didn't have any expectations. I was ready to receive whatever came. But I absolutely loved the atmosphere. For me, this retreat was a new beginning. Or maybe a continuation... but on a whole new level."

"It was an incredible experience. It's hard to put into words the mix of emotions, challenges, breakthroughs, and daily realizations. It exceeded every expectation I had. I arrived carrying so much weight, and I left feeling filled with healing energy, practical tools to support me long after the retreat, and a heart overflowing with love and gratitude for the amazing women I shared this journey with."

"Everything was wonderful. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. There was so much openness, encouragement, and support. I truly felt like I belonged. It surpassed everything I expected."

More Stories from Women Just Like You Who Said YES to This Transformation

"I found myself in this Bali retreat guided by a deep longing that had been living inside me for a long time. At the beginning of the year, I knew I wanted to take a vacation with a tribe of women—a tribe I didn't yet have. I was craving deep connection with other women. I dreamed of slow mornings filled with yoga and meditation, evenings where we would open our hearts to one another, and days spent exploring beautiful places and immersing ourselves in nature.

When I saw Desiree's retreat, my heart said YES almost instantly. From the very beginning, I knew it was exactly what I needed. I wasn't looking for a retreat with ten activities a day and a military-style schedule that would leave me overloaded with information and overstimulated. I wanted connection, sharing, slow living, and a safe space where I could show up exactly as I am and be fully seen, welcomed, and embraced."

"Those ten days exceeded every expectation I had. I honestly think it was one of the very few vacations in my life where I never once felt the need to escape from myself. Quite the opposite.

Every single moment felt sacred. Beautiful beyond words.

Yes—even the moments when I cried and stepped outside my comfort zone.

There is a different kind of pain there. Not the kind that traumatizes you, but the kind that heals you. The kind that brings peace, freedom, and relief."

"I believe that balance came from the beautiful blend of deep inner work with pure joy and pleasure—through dancing, nature, sisterhood, and all the magic Bali has to offer."

"I'm someone who always notices and appreciates the little details, and Desiree scattered them throughout the retreat like rose petals—with care, intention, and love.

Every experience flowed naturally into the next. I experienced Ubud, the island, its people, and myself through completely different eyes. My heart opened so gently and so naturally, allowing in more beauty than I ever thought it could hold."

"For me, this journey showed me that life can be lived differently.

That our bodies aren't always 'broken' or 'working against us.' Sometimes they're simply responding to environments that are emotionally and psychologically toxic.

That all of our stories make sense—and their meaning reveals itself one step at a time.

That my nervous system no longer wants to be burned out by multitasking, pressure, constant busyness, and endless noise.

That my body doesn't hurt because it's failing me, but because it's been trapped by fear, rigidity, self-censorship, endless 'shoulds,' suppressed sensuality, and the weight of living in a woman's body—a body that is still constantly judged by a largely patriarchal society.

This journey opened a new doorway to Freedom.

A freedom I've been longing for my entire life.

I've been preparing my whole life to arrive here, and I continue preparing myself—to shed everything that isn't truly mine, every layer I've carried that was never meant to belong to me."
