A Moonlight Retreats Story for 2026
There is a moment before the wings.
Before clarity. Before confidence. Before the version of you who feels settled in her skin.
That moment matters.
This retreat was created for that moment.
The one where you know something is shifting, even if you cannot fully name it yet. Where the old cycle has closed and a new one is quietly beginning.
2026 marks a Year 1. A new energetic cycle. A reset. A return to choice, intention, and self-led becoming. And there is no better place to meet that threshold than in nature, held by rhythm, ritual, and the wisdom of the body.
This is The Butterfly Effect.
A Moonlight Retreats women’s gathering in North Bali.
Not because everything needs to change.
But because one small, intentional decision can change everything.
Why the Butterfly
Transformation is not loud.
It does not arrive all at once. It begins subtly, internally, often unseen. Just like the butterfly, the most important work happens in the cocoon. In stillness. In pause. In surrender.
This retreat is not about pushing or fixing. It is about allowing the conditions for your next chapter to emerge naturally.
When women slow down, feel safe, and reconnect with their bodies, something profound unfolds. Perspective shifts. The nervous system softens. Truth becomes clearer.
That is the butterfly effect.
Small shifts. Lasting change.
Why Bali, Why Now
North Bali holds a quieter, more elemental energy. Jungle, water, earth, and sky all working together. Life feels slower here. More honest. More real.
Stepping away from your everyday environment creates space for recalibration. Your body can exhale. Your intuition can speak. Your energy can reorganise itself around what truly matters now.
This retreat is designed as a threshold experience. One foot in who you have been. One foot stepping forward.
What This Experience Feels Like
Soft mornings.
Grounded movement.
Sound that moves through your bones.
Water rituals that wash things loose.
Spacious afternoons to rest, journal, or simply be.
Everything is intentionally paced. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is forced.
You are invited into:
• Embodiment and intuitive movement
• Sound healing and guided meditation
• Ritual and ceremony aligned with nature
• Deep rest and nervous system regulation
• Nourishing meals and shared moments
• Time alone and time in heartfelt community
Structure holds you, but space allows you to listen inward.
This is where clarity returns. Not from thinking harder, but from feeling more deeply.
Who This Retreat Is For
This retreat is for women standing at the edge of something new.
You may be closing a chapter, integrating a big year, or quietly craving more alignment. You do not need to have answers. You do not need to be healed or evolved or anything other than honest.
No movement or spiritual experience is required. Curiosity and openness are enough.
If you feel the pull, trust it.
Holding the Space
Moonlight Retreats is grounded in safety, softness, and depth. I guide in a way that honours each woman’s timing, boundaries, and inner wisdom.
Nothing here is performative. Everything is invitational.
My role is to create the conditions. Your role is simply to arrive.
Why Book Early
Choosing a retreat is a declaration. A quiet but powerful yes to yourself and to the cycle you are stepping into.
Spaces are intentionally limited to preserve intimacy and connection. Early booking allows you to plan with ease, soften into the anticipation, and anchor your intention long before you arrive.
The Invitation
If you feel ready to begin again gently.
If you sense a new version of you forming beneath the surface.
If Bali has been calling, not loudly, but persistently.
This is your cocoon.
One choice. One retreat. One ripple that changes the way you move through life.
