Womxn’s Retreat in Ubud, Bali

Guided by Jessa Walters

 Journey deep into the heart of sacred ceremony and ritual

Awaken authentic power, mystery and wisdom within

Embody the unconditional presence and joy of sacred womxn’s circle

I invite you to enter into deep, timeless womxn-centered space through the sacred medicine of this ceremonial retreat. Together, we move into the realms of ritual and ceremony, synchronicity and magic. We dig deep into a practice of authenticity that is unique to each womxn on the retreat.

Sacred expression is embodied through organic movement/dance, yoga, sounding, meditation and sharing. We dive into evolutionary astrology, pay attention to dreams and invite the wisdom of oracles to provide insight and illuminate our depths. Through these timeless practices, we access our instinctual and innate knowing to uncover what is needed to show up more fully with ourselves and our communities.

In Bali, a land where the mysteries of life, death, and rebirth are woven into the very fabric of everyday life, ceremony IS sacred medicine. Ritual is the heartbeat of this culture that acknowledges both the unconscious and the conscious through elaborate practices designed to connect with spirit and maintain the balance of energies.

With all the changes that modernity brings, Bali has not lost its ancient beliefs or traditions. They are more alive now than ever. Balinese culture is based on living ceremony. Each day is filled with offerings of brightly colored flowers, spiced incense, rice, fruit, sprinklings of holy water and prayers. There are temples everywhere. In Bali, the channel is open between earth and spirit, time and timelessness. Magic is very much alive.

The Womxn’s Retreat intentionally takes place over the Balinese New Year (Nyepi – Day of Silence and Reflection), which always falls on a New Moon.

The New Moon lunar phase is a potent time to cleanse and invoke new beginnings. With the added energy of the Balinese New Year, this time of clearing space and planting new seeds is exponentially supercharged. We move through a symbolic death/rebirth process over the time of the New Moon, and our days leading up to it are a time of preparation and purification.

“I so appreciated the way Jessa provided guidance and held space for the women in circle, while encouraging each of us to honor our own wisdom and speak, think, move and be in whatever ways felt right and true for us at any given moment.” –Erin

“Jessa creates a safe, expansive container for women to go as deep as they want to go.” –Sarah

Dancing and practicing yoga with the sounds of the birds, the trees and the island wind made my body, heart and mind feel larger than life and wholly purified.” –Margaret

“Being immersed in Balinese culture, which is so heart-centered, combined with the intimacy and the possibility that can occur when women of great heart, soul and vulnerability come together, can and did create pure magic!” –Wendy

“In Bali, our collective energy resonated between us into a higher vibration. Our joint intentions holding each other in sacred love as our deepest vulnerabilities dissolved. It’s in that resonance of collective circle that the fog of our personal resistance cleared into flame of deepest personal inspiration.” – L.F.

– Evolutionary Astrology Birth Chart Reading with Jessa – Your retreat package includes a birth chart reading. Evolutionary Astrology will be woven into the retreat, so having your chart read ahead of time is foundational and will deepen your retreat experience. Your reading can be done over the phone/Zoom or in person if location permits. A reading is approximately 1 hour in length. If you have already had a birth chart reading with Jessa, you may choose to have a transits & progressions reading or a customized reading instead of a birth chart reading.

“Jessa read our birth charts before the retreat and wove our astrology into the retreat sessions to illuminate how we might more deeply understand our soul’s purpose and our unique path of growth in this lifetime. It was astounding how profound the readings were. The Evolutionary Astrology combined with oracle cards, dream work and rituals made for a deep and resounding magic in our sessions. It was so personal and unique for each of us. It was as if the places where we had been stuck or answers we were seeking to questions long asked were magically revealed. It was profound. All of the experiences on this retreat supported the recovery of a natural sense of wonder and love of my life.” –Margaret

Note: I recommend arriving to Bali a few days before the retreat to settle in, and, if possible, to stay a few days or longer after the retreat to integrate and continue to enjoy the beauty and magic of Bali. I’m will gladly offer recommendations of places to stay before and after the retreat, as well as ideas of places and sacred sites to visit in Bali.

“The doors to the world of the wild Self are few but precious. If you have a deep scar, that is a door. If you have an old, old story, that is a door. If you love the sky and the water so much you almost cannot bear it, that is a door. If you yearn for a deeper life, a full life, a sane life, that is a door.” –Clarissa Pinkola Estés “Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype”
