Bali Women’s Retreat 2025
So much guilt weighs on women when it comes to motherhood—how we parent, our experiences as mothers, and even our perceived shortcomings. Yet much of this guilt isn’t ours to carry; it’s rooted in the culture we live in, stemming from deeper wounds that existed long before the patriarchy.
The notion that children belong solely to their mothers and must be raised in a nuclear family is a patriarchal construct. Historically, motherhood was never this isolated. Babies were held, nurtured, and cared for by a community, giving mothers the time to rest, recharge, and feel supported. The truth is, it takes a village to raise a child. The nuclear family model—one man, one woman, and their child—is a cornerstone of patriarchy, shaping unrealistic expectations of mothers. This structure has left women isolated, overburdened, and without the community, sisterhood, and tribe they need. It’s not supposed to be this way.
It’s also unfair—and impossible—to expect one man to fully support the profound feminine processes of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. These are radical, life-altering experiences that require the presence of midwives, sisters, and a supportive circle of women. To navigate these experiences alone is an unrealistic expectation.
This is one of the many reasons I’ve created a women’s retreat that welcomes moms, as well as those who may become mothers in the future. The retreat provides a nurturing care system for those who need to bring their little ones, while also offering a sacred space for women to share, connect, and support one another. It’s a place where you can feel seen, heard, and truly held.
Note: Little ones won’t be joining the workshops, and the space is thoughtfully designed to ensure that women attending solo can enjoy peaceful, uninterrupted moments.
