Join Evy and Purnama for a 6 night/7 day Devi initiation Retreat into the Tantrik goddess tradition. Here we take the goddess off the altar of conceptualisation and feel her, sing with her, bath in her waters in ritual, prayer, offerings, creative art practices, somatics & sadhana at the healing waters of Yeh Mampeh Waterfall (Les Waterfall) in northern Bali.
This retreat is an invitation home to the soil of your being, a space to be held, to unravel and meet the animate goddess. This will be a week of ritual, prayer, offerings, temple and waterfall pilgrimages, somatic practices, Sādhanā, Non-dual philosophy, voice liberation and a portal to meet different faces of Shakti, not just as a concept but in her tangible animacy.
Each day we will Immerse into a different deity - Sarasvati, Durga, Lalita, Kali & Lakshmi Devi. Through somatics, embodiment, mantra, ritual, prayer and inner / group process work we come into relationship with the goddess as the living animate force of creation. We will give offerings to the land as we journey to the sacred sites, softening into the ancient way, finding our way home into harmony with the sacred mandala. We will bathe in the healing waters of Yeh Mampeh Waterfall, pilgrimage to the Hanuman Spring and water temples, and immerse in the ritualistic traditions of the ancient island of Bali.
We are losing remembrance of the ancient ways of living in relational harmony with the planet. More than ever before we are being asked to remember and protect the cyclical and devotional way of life that our matriarchal ancestors upheld across the earth. The broken bonds live inside our bodies as disconnect, numbness, disempowerment... a literal forgetting of the sacred codes that live inside of us as WOMBEen. Years of patriarchal distortions of our governing systems as well as religious and spiritual traditions have taken us further way from centering the sacred feminine as a way of life.
Through the ancient maps of the Goddess tradition of Saiva Tantra, and somatic repatterining through practice & ritual, Altar of Her is a portal for you to reawaken the intelligence encoded within your cellular body, and re-remember her as the way of life that once existed on planet earth.

What awaits you
Daily Devi Sadhana & Satsangs
Each day, we will journey into a different aspect of the Goddess through philosophy teachings, meditation mantra, journal reflections and Embodied meditation. Drawing from Tantrik philosophy and lived spiritual practice, these morning sessions invite the wisdom of the Devi from concept into direct experience. Each deity is a portal and mirror into unlocking aspects of self, opening to non-dual awakening,
Balinese Rituals & Offerings
Water is at the heart of Balinese spirituality and purification. Together we will immerse in the healing waters of waterfalls, springs, and sacred sites, engaging in ritual practices that invite cleansing, renewal, prayer, and deeper connection to the living spirit of the land.
Somatic & Embodiment Practices
The Goddess is not only found in temples and texts, but within the body itself. Through Somatic practices inspired by BMC, somatic repatterining, archetypal work and embodied dance, we will explore the Goddess as tangible ascents of ourselves.
Ceremonies & Initiations
Ceremony is one of humanity's oldest ways of marking transitions and entering into relationship with the sacred. Throughout the retreat, we will gather in a variety of ceremonies inspired by both Balinese and devotional traditions, creating space for prayer, intention, celebration, and remembrance, stepping beyond the ordinary into the mystery.
Voice Liberation & Sacred Song
The voice is one of our most powerful pathways into authenticity, devotion, and self-expression. Through guided practices, chanting, and in kirtan, we will gently open the voice, dissolve inhibitions, and reconnect with the joy and medicine of music.
Integration & Connection to the land
Alongside the practices and pilgrimages, there will be space to simply be. Surrounded by mountains, the ocean in view, an in-house steam & sauna, and in the company of like-spirited sisters, you will have time to rest, reflect, and reconnect with the natural rhythms that support healing and renewal.
Each day, we will journey into a different aspect of the Goddess through devotional practice, Satsang & Sādhanā, Somatics & Embodiment practices. Drawing from Tantrik philosophy and lived spiritual practice, these morning sessions invite the wisdom of the Devi & Kundalini mysteries from concept into direct experience. Working with the different face of Shakti has the power to rewire us from the inside out, creating the potential for an entire shift in consciousness and perception, awakening potential power that lies as hidden seed within us.
What is traditional Tantra? In modern culture, there seems to be some confusion between Neo-Tantra and Classical Tantra. Neo Tantra is a new age practice that in fact has barely anything to do with classical Tantra. Classical Tantra, also known as Kashmir Śaivism flourished as a sophisticated non-dual tradition originating in Kashmir from roughly the 8th through 12th centuries. Classical Tantra is a Goddess Centered Yoga tradition, using ritual, mantra, deity-yoga, subtle-body practices. It emerged as a householders path, pointing to enlightenment as something to be found within the human experience, rather than through detached renunciation. This retreat will explore teachings and practices from the Trika lineage as well as Sri Vidya tradition, as we explore the essence of classical Tantra and Siva-Shakti worship, as a doorway to embodied liberation through the path of the Divine Feminine.
