Every moment of this retreat was thoughtful and supportive by design. The care and love that went in to facilitating the retreat was palpable. We were immersed into the experience with nourishing meals, beautiful surroundings, incredible company, and indulgence in self-care. Each of the workshop leaders brought a new perspective and shared their gifts with such grace. This was an incredibly transformitive experience! If you're ready to elevate yourself to the next level, this is for you!
I am coming home from Costa Rica with a fresh sense of confidence, creativity and excitement for my future! Each and every woman at the retreat was incredible. I saw my reflection through each one of their eyes, and this experience has gifted me the mindset that I am capable of curating my life around my passions and desires. I'm appreciating my gifts in a new way. I'm standing taller. I felt so seen, understood and supported in my inner and outer work. Eliza held such a beautiful space, allowing each of us to open up and be 100% authentic. I'm so grateful for this experience!
I highly recommend doing Sircle as a spiritual meditation, a form of self-expression, and physical training. Sejal is not just a dance teacher. She is like a body worker. She knows what's happening in your body by the way you dance. I have found Sircle to be so uplifting spiritually, emotionally, and physically. The movements are well designed and simple to follow. You don't need prior experience. They are very beautiful. Sircle allows me to tap into the feminine aspect of myself and helps me tune up my body. I never thought I could spin in circles for 5 minutes nonstop like those whirling folks on YouTube!
I love dancing. Sejal's Sircle and her fantastic rhythm allow me to explore my inner and outer, the way whole of myself integrate and move in synchronization. In the same time to practice awareness mindfulness meditation. How is our mind...how is our outer-body...BRAVO SIRCLE!!!
I am filled with so much gratitude after having been on the retreat. The connection and sisterhood that I felt with all the women far exceeded my expectations. After the retreat, I was set to travel alone. Instead, I was joined by a sister and new friend. We ended up spontaneously meeting up with four other sisters for a volcano tour and a soak in hot springs with our tour guide. Plans are in the works for future get togethers. I am thrilled to have made such beautiful friendships while on this journey. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am forever grateful! I look forward to radiance training and more retreats!
I am forever changed by this experience! The entire experience was magical, from getting my passport for the first time, flying internationally and staying in a 5 star resort mansion to meeting some of my soul tribe and witnessing such beautiful reflections of myself as I could truly relate to every single goddess there in one way or another. It was all so perfect and I was able to tap into my pure potential and my divine essence and I have been cultivating it more and more every day since! I appreciate the potent space that was held by Eliza as we all took turns breaking down and breaking through! The food was amazing! It was all so divine!Â
Balinese Ceremony
Bali is renowned for the depth of their spiritual practices. Each ceremony opens up a gateway, a portal of transformation.
Fire Ceremony (Agni Hotra) – Sacred Purification and Release
At sunset, we will gather for a traditional Balinese fire ceremony, a sacred ritual of purification and transformation. Fire, the element of destruction and renewal, holds the power to burn away what no longer serves us. Guided by Balinese priests, we will offer symbolic items into the flames — prayers, intentions, and anything we are ready to release. As we dance around the sacred fire, we call in the fierce goddesses associated with fire — Durga, Kali, Pele — igniting our inner power, courage, and clarity. The fire becomes a mirror, reflecting our inner strength and fueling our rebirth. Together, we surrender to the flames, honoring the sacred cycle of death and renewal within ourselves and the world.
Water Ceremony (Melukat) – Sacred Cleansing and Rebirth
Held at a sacred water temple, the traditional Balinese Melukat ceremony is a profound ritual of spiritual cleansing. Water, the element of flow, intuition, and emotional renewal, invites us to return to purity and inner stillness. Dressed in ceremonial sarongs, we will step into the sacred springs, allowing the holy water to wash over us, guided by Balinese priests in prayer and offering. Through gentle dance and movement, we will embody goddesses of water — Saraswati, Yemaya, Ganga — reconnecting to wisdom, softness, and the infinite flow of life. Each drop blesses us, clearing stagnant energy and awakening the sacred river within, as we emerge renewed, aligned, and open to receiving the gifts of the retreat journey.
