Women’s Retreat
By Heretica Collective and Nadi James
For the woman who yearns to return to self, to our shared humanity, and to community whilst being witnessed by nature.
| Not just a retreat, an immersive deep dive experience |
This is where women come together in circle, immersed in the sacred act of remembering.
We shed the layers of our roles, our masks, and the expectations of what we must do, be, or say to be enough, to be loved.
Here, we find our homes in our bodies and remember that to be a woman is to feel truly alive.
It’s an invitation to reconnect with the deep creative pulse of svadhisthana, the ethereal womb, and to learn to listen to her as a guiding force in our lives.
A women’s body is alive with initiations, it is where we have always been called to threshold and to gather the bones of our own lived inner wisdom and portals of intuition.
When we re-pattern the ways our bodies learned to be safe and learn to both move and feel from a place of truth and expression, we can begin the journey of coming back into harmony with the flesh that feeds the lived experience.
This gathering is born of my heart’s deepest call; a call to create what I’ve longed to find.
I want spaces where I can immerse myself in profound journey work and connect with other women in raw, authentic ways—without the pretension.
I want gatherings that feel welcoming, not intimidating, where all my messy, unkept, wild parts are honored. So, I created one…
It was a VIBE that was the antidote to the white washed woman's circle that seem to dominate the field. There was no mistaking this would be a deeply held space where we would all be able to unravel and hold each other. This was sacred work. - Lara
“The weekend was amazing. It helped me understand myself in a such a deeper way. You got us to practice taking up space and trusting ourselves that we know who we are - Syra
It's was such a magical weekend that I will carry with me forever. The knowledge I gained about my own capacity and the tools I have brought into my everyday life are invaluable. I can't thank everyone enough! I'm really hoping this will become an annual event as it is incomparable to anything I have ever done. The thought and care put into this event was top notch and really pushed me out of my comfort zone in a gentle and supportive way. - Stephanie
Will you join us?
October 16th - 19th 2026
3 nights & 4 days
Accomodation & Wholefood catering included
This is for women of all paths; the Mother, Maiden, Huntress, Mystic, Sage, Queen, and Lover.
For women with wombs, women without, and those who have chosen womanhood irrespective of the body they’re born into.
For women of all bodies, in all their beautiful forms.
Whether you’re experienced with women’s work or just beginning, whether you’re ready to be vulnerable or still finding the courage, this space is for you.
Curiosity is essential. You don’t need to be “ready,” but a curiosity around what it might be to unfold, soften, and open is needed.
We will be working with three bodies of Women’s knowledge:
The Oracular Woman: intuitive development, storytelling, dreamsharing and symbology
***
The Embodied Woman: movement, breathwork, somatic experiencing and re-patterning, and womb clearing and activation
***
The Sovereign Woman: inner polarity theory and experiencing, non-dual tantric practices for inner expansion
Our Retreat Home
Nestled high on Mt Ben Cairn 1.5 hours drive from Melbourne, our retreat home is surrounded by 25 acres of untouched rainforest.
The whole space feels like a treehouse held in the canopy—open to sweeping valley views yet deeply cocooned by nature.
During our stay, you’ll be held by quiet forest paths, lush gardens, curious wildlife, and the gentle presence of a natural spring.
It’s a place that invites you to soften, breathe, and sink into the land. And when you feel called to explore beyond the forest, the beauty of the Yarra Valley is just a short wander away.
Our home for the weekend offers a blend of comfort and simplicity, with accommodation options to suit how you like to land—choose a private ensuite room for your own space, or share a twin room with a friend or shared small dorm room, for a more connected experience.
Two spacious balconies open out into the treetops, each with generous dining tables where we’ll gather for our naturopathically-designed, whole-foods meals.
Inside, you’ll find quiet corners for reading, unwinding, or curling up with a cup of tea, as well as a cosy lounge with multiple sofas and a sunken conversation pit around the fire—perfect for deeper chats or peaceful rest as the forest settles around us.

With over two decades of yoga asana practice and more than eight years of teaching these ancient practices both nationally and internationally, she offers a portal for deep inner exploration in every session.

With over eight years of experience curating dynamic, creative, and uniquely transformative events, anyone who has been held by Nadi has felt her devotion, care, and thoughtfulness woven not only into her presence but into the very foundations of the experiences she creates.
