In the stillness of Bali’s sacred north, high in the mountains and beneath the soft glow of moonlight, your metamorphosis begins.
THE
BUTTERFLY EFFECT
“What the caterpillar calls the end, the rest of the world calls a butterfly.” Lao Tzu
The Butterfly Effect is a seven-day immersion for women who are ready to release what no longer serves, awaken their inner truth, and fully step into their divine feminine power.
Like the butterfly, your transformation does not happen through force.
It unfolds through gentle, quantum shifts.
Across seven days in the jungles of North Bali, you will be guided through a deeply curated initiation of embodiment, ritual, reflection, and integration. Each experience is designed to support you on your personal journey of healing, with real inner change that continues long after you leave the sacred jungles of Mama Bali.
Surrounded by the symphony of the jungle, held by mountains, and witnessed in sisterhood, you will remember what freedom in the body feels like.
Grounded. Radiant. Alive.
This retreat is an invitation to soften, to shed old layers, and to emerge renewed, realigned, and deeply connected to yourself..
guiding you through release, Realignment, and rebirth
WHAT TO EXPECT
Mornings begin differently each day, gently inviting you into movement, breath, or stillness to awaken your energy and regulate your nervous system. Practices include yoga, embodiment, meditation, or breath work, moments of mindful connection, followed by a nourishing organic breakfast.
Across seven days, you will be guided through a balanced and intentional immersion that includes:
- Elemental Ceremonies
- Water purification with High Priestess of Bali
- Full Moon Release
- Sound healing, Ecstatic dance and Kirtan
- Awakening the Divine Goddess Rituals
- Feminine Archetypes
- Initiations and Rites of Passage
- Creative expression and reflective practices
- Waterfall and jungle adventures
There is spaciousness woven throughout the retreat.
Time to rest by the pool.
To wander the gardens.
To swim beneath waterfalls.
To listen to the jungle hum as you reflect.
This retreat mirrors the phases
of transformation itself.
A process echoed in the butterfly’s
own becoming.
Release.
Pause.
Integration.
Emergence.
You will leave feeling expanded, grounded, and deeply connected to your feminine essence, carrying the ripple of this metamorphosis into every area of your life.
“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” Carl Jung

📞. Post-retreat New Moon integration call
She’s ready to feel more like herself again, or perhaps step into a new version of herself.
More energised, clear, and connected to what she wants moving forward.
She’s seeking experiences that support real change, not just a temporary escape.
She wants to leave feeling grounded, supported, and recharged, with clarity, confidence, and direction for the next chapter of her life.
THE EMERGING
She may be in a season of change, figuring out what comes next.
She’s trying to make sense of her experiences, emotions, and identity, while juggling life, work, or family.
She’s curious about herself and open to growth, but doesn’t feel the need to have all the answers.
She wants space to reflect, feel, and explore what’s true for her now, without pressure to be anyone other than who she is.
THE IN-BETWEEN
She’s been carrying a lot.
A breakup, burnout, motherhood, work pressure, or simply the feeling of losing herself along the way.
She feels tired, disconnected, or numb, and knows she needs space to slow down, breathe, and come back to herself.
She’s ready to rest, reset, and gently reconnect with her body and inner world.
THE PAUSE
SUGGESTED AGES 24 - 54
WHO IS THIS RETREAT FOR?
This retreat is for the woman who feels the call for more, who knows something within her is ready to unfold.
Desiree is a retreat leader, women’s circle holder, sound healer, and yoga teacher who guides women through deep embodiment, emotional release, and nervous-system-led healing.
She will be joined by a carefully selected team of facilitators, including a Balinese High Priestess who will guide a sacred water purification ceremony under the full moon.
Her work is grounded in the belief that true transformation happens when the body feels safe, the heart is open. She believes that you are your own healer, and that healing is allowed to unfold gently rather than through force.
Through sound, movement, ritual, and intentional space holding, Desiree creates experiences that invite women to soften, unravel old patterns, and reconnect with their inner truth. She is known for holding containers that are both powerful and gentle, balancing depth, play, and authenticity.
With experience facilitating women’s circles, yoga, sound healing journeys, embodiment practices, and ceremony, and inspired by her travels through Peru, Mexico, Brazil, and Bali, Desiree brings a grounded yet intuitive presence that allows women to feel seen, supported, and safe.
