JUST FOR THE WOMEN
Transformational
Wise Woman Retreats.
Relax, Renew, Restore….and unwind with a deeply transformative retreat experience.
Are you ready to transform your relationship with yourself?
….maybe you don’t have the space or time in life to dedicate to the depper discovery of who you really are….now?
Do you feel a calling from within…maybe you’ve realised you’ve been lving life on others terms and it’s time to dig a little to discover the truth of you and bring that more to life….or maybe it’s just the opportunity to have space to breathe out for a moment within the franticness of everyday.
I have been working with the local Balinese for many years now to create a safe and welcoming space for you to unfurl within.
YOU know that more is possible for you and your life
But haven’t had the breathing space to discover what that might look like
life has gotten in the way
With everyone else’s needs being met
YOU STRUGGLE TO feel connected to yourself
And not even sure as to what your needs might be
maybe you just need a really good reset
And want to dedicate some time to nurture you
Let me guide you on a safely held adventure.
A chance to connect with like minded others…..or spend time relaxing around the pool.
TAKING TIME OUT FOR RETREAT
Might be one of the most life affirming things you can do. When we prioritise ourselves we find that we return with greater capacity for others.
TRANSFORMATION IS POSSIBLE
By learning new skills and practices to take back into your everyday life, we can make the shifts and changes necessary to do life better.
THROUGH THE PROCESS
You will leave the retreat feeling deeply nourished and restored on all levels. Learn how to meditate, participate in daily yoga suited to your needs and level. Be part of group and individual process work and enjoy Balinese cultural experiences. With time enough for relaxing around the pool or enjoying the day spa facility.

Queenager Escape Retreat
Nurturing the Yin…A chance to reconnect with the essence that is you.
Have you hit that point in your life….where you’ve realised you’ve been of service to everyone else in your life…but you?……As we are enculturated as women to do…… Partner or mother or maybe the career climb…So much energy going out into the world …And are now beginning to wonder..…’who the hell even am I’….Beyond the labels and roles that define you to the outside world…..With the procreative hormones in decline…the pull to go inward…is real…..To seek out who you are NOW…In his body…An inkling at least of knowing that ways of being that you’ve been for everyone else are no longer the way you want to move in your life….But to become that other version…A new version of you needs to be found and defined…And lived into.
I’ve been presenting Transformational women retreats in Ubud Bali for over a decade…This offering….Queenager Escape Retreats are the latest iteration….born on my yoga mat during my own private retreat. SO what I’ve put together is a program that is designed to nurture that inward journey….The Yin needs to consolidate…As the Yang…the external …has had it’s time……A 5 night journey…through gentle yoga, meditation, workshops, sound bath and day spa treatments….All held within lush and lovely private villas in the heartland of Bali just outside of Ubud…..
This is a luxury retreat offering…..and yet so humbly grounded …..aimed to nourish, nurture, restore and renew the Yin…feminine essence…That this time of life calls for us to do….To give you the time and space you need to replenish…To move forward into life with a deeper sense of self…the YOU of now…In a way that inspires and excites you….The unapologetic version that is beckoning….knowing …hearing the murmuring….or maybe it’s become more of a scream….that the old version is ready for an update.
For the potency of this work, the retreat numbers are kept to a minimum…offered once a year..…places tend to book quickly….If you feel called to join me in Bali please reach out…Let’s chat!
TESTIMONIALS
Maaike…..
Attending Waratah’s retreat was a huge decision for me. I had never travelled on my own before, and the idea of not knowing anyone felt quite daunting. In the lead-up, my mantra was simply, “Just get on the plane,” and I’m so grateful that I did.
The retreat was nothing short of transformative. From the very beginning, the women embraced one another, and I felt welcome just as I was, on my own path. It wasn’t only the time spent at the retreat that made a difference — the impact extended beyond. Even after I left, I continued to experience deep realisations and personal growth.
The retreat itself was a perfect balance of yoga and meditation, workshops, massages, time alone for reflection, fun group experiences, and delicious meals, all curated with care and thoughtfulness by Waratah. I’d highly recommend this retreat to any woman who, like me, is asking herself, “Who even am I?” Here, you will have the space to start answering that question.
Thank you, Waratah.

I really can’t tell you how much I enjoyed the Bali retreat. It was just the best holiday I’ve ever had! To spend a week doing things only for myself, and in such good company, is quite simply unprecedented in my life! (I was quite shocked when I realised this, but it’s the absolute truth).
The programme you arranged and presented for us was just right. Having the balance of regular yoga sessions at each end of the day with your workshops interspersed gave a good structure to set the rhythm of each day, but there was also time to enjoy other pursuits or just chill out. I really enjoyed all the ‘extracurricular’ things we did as well (cooking, silver-smithing, dining out) but the yoga was divine.
The accommodation was fantastic – such a beautiful tranquil setting (even the construction site next door was fascinating) and the staff were lovely too. Hard to believe we were just off the main drag of Ubud. The rooftop shala was a wonderful place to do our yoga and it was a nice feeling to have everything for the retreat contained in our own ‘wing’.
I very much appreciate all the work you put into organising the retreat in all its aspects and also all the support you gave us, both before and during our time there. I cannot think of anything you could have done better than you did – the whole experience for me was one of sheer enjoyment, freedom and fulfillment.
