Closes May 18th, 2026, or when the retreat is full.
I am overjoyed to share this moment with you. For over a decade, we have gathered in sacred sisterhood to explore the art of sacred dance, embrace feminine empowerment, and honor ancient vitality practices.
This year, I invite you to join us for an extraordinary journey in Bali, May 24th –31st, 2026
This 7-day transformational retreat is devoted to Somatic Fusion Belly Dance, Ayurveda, Yoga, and Women’s Vitality Practices, offering a dedicated space to cultivate and honor the yin nourishment in your life.
All levels of experience are welcome. Sacred dance is a meditative and healing art form that nurtures strength, confidence, and radical self-healing.
This retreat is a journey of devotion, a call to reconnect with your true self through movement, ritual, and sisterhood. Together, we will celebrate the feminine mysteries, awaken the rhythm of the sacred pulse within, and explore ancient practices as a community in our temple space at Bodhi Leaf Eco Resort.
Through my journey, I’ve witnessed the most profound transformations happen when women gather in the sacred space of in-person practice, especially through the ancient art of Sacred Dance.
This retreat offers you the chance to embrace your wild, natural self, deepen your spiritual practice, and celebrate the divine feminine within a like-minded circle of sisters, all while being held by the powerful spiritual energy of the Island of the Gods.
ABOUT THE RETREAT
This is a week-long retreat focusing on yin nourishment, sacred dance, and women's vitality practices.
This retreat is designed to create an intimate sacred container of 13 women from all around the world, held in sisterhood to dance, play, heal, explore & cultivate personal embodiment practices that ground and fill your heart full of Shakti!
This is a chance to share within sisterhood, unplug, and return to the womb of transformation.
In this retreat, we will focus on learning the language of temple belly dance, comprised of sacred geometry, shapes & symbols. We will learn practices for clearing & opening the energy channels so that kundalini life force energy can be fully uninhibited through the entire body, including learning mudras & mantras.
We will explore different chakras and energy centers of our body through breath, sound, and intentionality. Learning the vast realms of inner yogas with a focus on Bellydance isolations, drills, & layering. Weaving natural medicine wisdom tips and an introduction to Ayurveda and bliss practices.

These teachings are both Ancient & Modern, expressing timeless qualities and values that bring new awareness and strength to the dancer. These vitality practices offer a connection to one's own essence and cultivate enjoyment of the body in motion while sharing in a community of sisterhood.
A Sanctuary of Reciprocity
For over a decade, I’ve guided women across sacred lands, places where the Earth still speaks through wind, water, and song. 🌿 Each retreat is held in the spirit of reciprocity, to receive the profound gifts of this sacred land, and to give back in ways that uplift and sustain the local community.
We’ll gather at Bodhi Leaf Sanctuary, a Balinese woman-owned eco-luxury retreat center nestled between the jungle and rice fields. This serene sanctuary honors both the beauty of nature and the power of feminine leadership.
As a woman-owned business, I aim to practice sacred commerce, circulating resources in a manner that supports sustainable farming, cultural preservation, and community well-being.
A portion of retreat proceeds directly supports a Balinese youth cultural dance program, helping preserve the ancient lineage of temple dance and traditional Balinese performance. These dances are living expressions of devotion and artistry, woven deeply with the island’s spiritual heritage.
Through this offering, we help invest in the education and creative expression of future generations, ensuring that this sacred art continues to flourish.
You will also have the opportunity to study with a Master Balinese Dancer, receiving a direct transmission of this ancient, embodied tradition, an experience that bridges cultures and opens the heart to the universal language of movement.

10 ) Q. What inspired me to create this Retreat?
Many years ago, when I stepped onto this path, I had dreamed of the modern mystery school.
A breathing living temple dedicated to sacred feminine arts.
This retreat came to me in a vision. Women dancing on the rich volcanic soil. Together dancing & praying. The land itself seemed to call each of our names, asking us to bring our magic to honor the goddess as a global sisterhood. We as women return to our true nature, discovering our birth rite of embodiment practices & sharing in true sisterhood. I have met so many sisters over the years expressing their soul’s yearning for healing & unconditional love among women. To be heard & seen in our most authentic self is one of the most powerful things. This brings us back to the magic of the ancients drawing down the moon into a blossoming circle of union. We, the visionaries & wild women, shine our light & reflect our soul's song into collective remembrance. Dance has brought me home & it is through this dance as a spiritual practice that I have devoted my heart to goddess wisdom.
This is my continued life's work going on for 20 years. It's my honor to offer specialized R.M.A workshops & retreats focused on healing; issues of separation of sisterhood, reclaiming sacred sensuality, cultivating embodiment practices, re-establishing a healthy body image, recovering from abuse & the remembrance of the sacred phases of a woman’s life: menstruation,(maiden) pregnancy, (mother)menopause.

I travel teaching & performing internationally. Please join my mailing list for all upcoming events.

Greece Sacred Dance Facilitation R.M.A. Alumi Retreat 2026 TBA
You are invited to attend an exclusive and deeply transformative 7-day pilgrimage, specially designed for all R.M.A. Mentorship Alumni. This luxurious retreat is reserved exclusively for our cherished participants, and we are thrilled to gather with you in person for this profound, soul-nourishing experience.
Throughout my journey, I’ve witnessed the most magical transformations occur when we come together in the sacred space of in-person work, especially through the ancient art of Sacred Dance. This retreat offers you the chance to embrace your role as a facilitator, deepen your spiritual practice, and celebrate your divine path within a loving sisterhood, all while being held by the powerful spiritual energy of the Oracle within Delphi.
During this journey, we will attune ourselves to the sacred forces of nature, exploring ancient temples, holy springs, ancestral fires, and the invigorating prana that fills the timeless landscape of Greece. One of the highlights of our immersion is a full-day pilgrimage through Delphi, retracing the ancient pathways down to the sea, where pilgrims from around the world once walked. We will traverse olive tree-lined trails to the sacred Castilia Springs, visit the oldest shrines dedicated to the Great Mother Gaia, and journey into the forest, where Greece’s earliest female dance traditions, the Maenades, were born.
Delphi, in the tradition of the ancient mystery schools, is a center for transformation, renewal, and spiritual rebirth. The word "Delphi" itself means "Spiritual Womb," signifying a place of prophecy and divine energy. Much like in ancient times, today’s Delphi remains a powerful spiritual center, where participants can tap into their inner wisdom, develop intuitive practices, and cultivate a spiritually enriched mindset. Whether you are seeking deeper spiritual and intuitive development or advancing in areas like transpersonal psychology, metaphysics, or holistic healing, Delphi offers a sacred space for profound growth and renewal.
* Retreat costs are not included with mentorship tuition fees. This Retreat is optional and will be held in October 2026. Attendance is only open to Mentorship participants. More info T.B.A

Testimonials
Joining Aradia’s Retreat was exactly what I needed. As a healer and teacher myself, I am very particular about who I decide to study and spend time with. Aradia is not only a master at her craft, she is a master facilitator; she so gently weaves in her teaching so that you are effortlessly living the work. I came out of this course with a deep learning and knowing that has shifted into my relationship with self and with my work, a fuller, more embodied, and softer version came through as a result
Somatic Sex Education and Intimacy coach,
Simone Farschi ( California )
I had the beautiful privilege of attending Aradia’s retreat last year in Maui, and this was truly such a beautiful and nourishing experience in so many ways. I have always wanted to learn to belly dance, and what I love most is Aradia’s unique perspective in being able to facilitate the art of belly dancing and merging it as both a holistic and spiritual practice. I have yet to see anyone else do this honestly. You can tell Aradia is experienced and extremely well-versed in these temple arts, and she can facilitate this all in a super easy, fun, and digestible way for beginners like myself. I had so much fun at this retreat and met some beautiful souls I’m still connected to from this experience. Thank you so much, Aradia, for sharing your sweet, sweet gifts with this world. Stephanie ( Maui, Hawaii )
“I’ve been to many retreats, but nothing compares to this. The way Aradia weaves somatic wisdom, priestess arts, and ritual felt like stepping into a living temple. The land, the water temples, the sunsets, the dance, everything mirrored my own rebirth. I returned home more embodied, confident, and creatively inspired than I’ve felt in years. It was like remembering a part of myself I thought was lost.” Sofia, ( Florence, Italy )
“I was nervous because I’m not a dancer and had never done anything like this before. But the moment I walked into the circle, all of that pressure melted. Aradia’s guidance was so gentle and embodied that movement became playful, intuitive, and healing, not performative. I found confidence in my body, learned to breathe through tension, and discovered a softness I didn’t know I was holding. I left with a deeper self-love, a new sisterhood, and a relationship with movement that feels sacred instead of scary.” Aradias’s approach was kind and fun! She’s extremely well-versed, and she helps us in such a safe and supportive environment. Anna ( Paris, France )
“I came to Bali exhausted, disconnected from my body, and carrying a grief I couldn’t name. Aradia held a space that felt ancient, soft, and wildly empowering. Through sacred dance, Breath work ceremony, and deep sisterhood, I remembered my own radiance. I left with my voice steadier, my womb alive, and a devotional practice I use every single day. This retreat didn’t just change my life, it changed the way I walk through the world.” Maya, ( Malibu, California)
“The Radiant Priestess Retreat gave me the sisterhood I had been craving. We laughed, we cried, we danced our prayers into the earth. I felt held, witnessed, and celebrated in ways I’ve never experienced. The teachings on feminine embodiment completely shifted how I care for my body and boundaries. I feel so much safer in my body. Months later, my glow hasn’t faded; it’s integrated. If you feel the call, answer it. Your future self will thank you.” Aurelia, ( New York )
“This retreat was pure magic. Hawai’i held us with such grace, lush jungles, warm tides, and sunsets that felt like blessings. Through somatic dance, voice activation, and sacred ritual, I reclaimed parts of myself that had gone quiet. I laughed, cried, roared, danced, and softened. I look in the mirror now and see a radiant, embodied woman who knows her power. It was worth every mile traveled.” Rhea, Canada
“As a professional dancer, I came to this retreat expecting technique, but what I found was something far more valuable. The practices awakened nuance, emotional depth, and devotional intention that years of training never touched. The meditation and yoga supported my body in ways that amplified my artistry, and the ritual dance opened a channel of expression that felt ancient. I returned home not just a better performer, but a more embodied, intuitive woman. This retreat reminded me why I dance.” Zara, Berlin, Germany
“I live on these islands and yet I have never experienced Hawai’i like this. Aradia’s retreat felt like entering a sacred portal where the ocean, the wind, and the volcanoes became mirrors for my own transformation. The dance practices awakened parts of my body I didn’t know were sleeping, and the temple rituals opened my heart in ways therapy never could. I returned home more rooted, more sovereign, more me.” Leilani, Big Island, Hawaii
“I flew across the world not knowing what to expect, and what I found was a sisterhood I never imagined possible. Dancing barefoot on the land, offering prayers to the ocean, and being guided through feminine embodiment practices felt like a homecoming to my soul. I released the trauma I’ve carried for decades. I still wake up months later remembering the salt air and the feeling of belonging in my body.” Selena, United Kingdom
“This was my third year in a row attending Aradia’s Hawaii retreat, and every time feels like a deeper initiation. The blend of dance, yoga, and meditation has become a yearly reset for my nervous system and my spirit. Each year, I shed another layer and return home more confident, more embodied, and more aligned with my purpose. The sisterhood has become family, and the island continues to meet me exactly where I am. It’s not a retreat anymore, it’s a pilgrimage.” Luna, Boulder, Colorado
“Every aspect of this retreat was curated with such intention. The yoga soothed my mind, the meditation clarified my inner voice, and the dance liberated my body in ways I didn’t know were possible. I felt held by the land, the sisterhood, and by Aradia’s gentle yet powerful facilitation. I came home glowing, grounded, and with a daily ritual practice that continues to nourish me. Truly life-changing.” Gabriella, Spain
