The Alchemy & Awakening Retreat

a call to rise

As winter loosens its hold and the first threads of spring begin to shimmer beneath the soil, there comes a moment when a woman feels the quiet pulse of her own return.
A knowing that something within her is ready to soften… to shed… to awaken.

The Alchemy & Awakening Retreat is a three-night feminine transformation journey - a sanctuary of somatic grounding, womb awakening, Shakti rising, energy medicine, ritual, ceremony, nature and sisterhood.

Held in the serene Byron Bay hinterland at Wybalena Organic Farm, this sacred immersion guides you through the ancient feminine arc of:

Emptying · Anointing · Emergence
A cycle of release, renewal and radiant awakening.

This is where the feminine returns to her light.

A Sacred Journey of Feminine Rebirth

August 23rd - 26th 2026

Byron Bay, NSW

About The Retreat —

This retreat is designed for women who are ready to reconnect with their inner wisdom, soften the busy mind, regulate the nervous system, awaken their feminine power, and rise into a new season of clarity, embodiment and soul-aligned direction.

Inside this experience, you will receive:

  • the somatic descent needed to clear the past

  • the energetic awakening needed to illuminate your field

  • the ritual & ceremony needed to remember your feminine lineage

  • the rest & spaciousness needed to integrate

  • the sisterhood needed to feel deeply seen and supported

This is alchemy —
the transformation that
happens in the sacred
space between
who you were and
who you are becoming.

And this is awakening — the rising of your inner light, your Shakti, your feminine emergence.

The Journey

Over four days, you’ll travel through an intentional, alchemical arc:

1. EMPTYING —
The Descent & Release

You soften. You land. You let go.
Through somatic grounding, breathwork, nervous system regulation, womb clearing and gentle ritual, you dissolve what no longer belongs.

2. ANOINTING —
The Receiving & Remembering

Once the vessel clears, you receive.
Womb activation, elemental womb work, Magdalene anointing, feminine embodiment, sound, energy medicine and Shakti activation awaken your inner radiance.

3. EMERGENCE —
The Rising & Embodiment

You rise into clarity and alignment through:
Kundalini Activation, embodied dance, nature walks, blessing rituals, sisterhood witnessing and integration practices.

This is the moment the feminine returns to
her light.

A cycle of release, renewal and radiant awakening.
