Temple of the Goddess

A Divine Feminine Retreat in Bali

There are moments in life when we feel called to step away from the noise of daily life and reconnect with something deeper within ourselves. The Temple of the Goddess Retreat is an invitation into that space.

Held in the lush and spiritually vibrant landscapes of Bali, this immersive week is devoted to exploring the many expressions of the Divine Feminine through yoga, meditation, storytelling, ritual, and sacred cultural experiences.

Across traditions, the feminine has been honored as the force of creation, intuition, transformation, and deep wisdom. During this retreat, we will explore practices that awaken these qualities within ourselves cultivating strength, clarity, creativity, and connection.

Our days will include meditation and yoga practices, workshops exploring feminine archetypes and mythology, sacred rituals, and time to rest and integrate in the natural beauty of Bali. Together we will explore how the wisdom of the goddess traditions can inform the way we live, lead, and move through the world.

The retreat will also include powerful cultural experiences unique to Bali, including a traditional water purification ceremony and an evening attending the mesmerizing Kecak Dance, a storytelling tradition rooted in the epic of the Ramayana.

The week will be guided by Sattva Yoga Master Teachers Catherine and Laura, alongside guest facilitators from their advanced yoga teacher training program. Together they will guide participants through practices designed to help you reconnect with your intuition, deepen your relationship with the sacred, and experience the power of practice in community.

Whether you are a longtime practitioner or simply feel called to explore the wisdom of the feminine, Temple of the Goddess offers a beautiful opportunity to pause, reconnect, and remember what is already alive within you.
