Goddess Retreat
Awaken the Wisdom and Power Within
10 - 15 March 2025
Jai Yoga | Bermagui, NSW
Step into the sacred and transformative world of Shakti – the animating force of life, the power that flows through all things. This retreat is an invitation to connect with the deepest parts of your inner nature through the study and embodiment of the Mahavidyas – the Ten Tantric Wisdom Goddesses.
Together, we’ll explore these goddesses as archetypes and energetic expressions that live within us all. They are not something outside of us to seek, but aspects of our own energy, consciousness, and wisdom to honor and embody.
This is a practice of remembering, celebrating, and trusting the unique pathways of our lives – a space to listen to our intuition, honor our inner power, and embrace the ever-changing expressions of who we are.
Why Explore the Mahavidyas?
The Mahavidyas are much more than myths or symbols. They are living, breathing wisdom – reflections of the universal forces that shape us and flow through us. Each goddess represents a different energetic signature, from fierce transformation to tender love, creative inspiration to unwavering clarity.
Through yoga practices, mythology, storytelling, contemplation, and hands-on experiences, we’ll move progressively through the ten goddesses, exploring their teachings and discovering how they resonate within our own lives.
This retreat is not about learning theoretical knowledge – it’s about cultivating embodied wisdom. It’s about experiencing the shakti within you and understanding how these energies weave into your life.
Daily Schedule
Each day is intentionally designed to offer balance, depth, and space for exploration.
