Women’s Spirituality & Yoga Retreat
with Matece Skow & Christine Eartheart
November 8 – 14, 2026
A mystical journey of sisterhood into the heart of Bali to learn inspiring practices for nourishing the sacred in everyday life!
Our last Divine Joy Retreat sold out within 24 hours. Therefore, we lovingly encourage you to register the moment you feel the call in your heart, as we won’t be opening any additional spots after these fill and already have many more women interested than we have space for attending. We can’t wait to go on this incredible journey with you!

Our days will include a dazzling combination of amazing adventures to visit sacred and treasured places in Bali, learning spiritual practices to weave into everyday life, rituals, ceremonies, heart-centered sisterhood, yummy organic food, sharing circles, spiritual growth, time on your own to do whatever delights you, yoga, laughter, spontaneous dance parties, incredible rejuvenation and nourishment, and personal transformation.
Each day will be special and unique and filled with magic!
We intentionally chose Bali for the location, as their culture exemplifies the weaving of the sacred into everyday life, the joy of living from the heart and mirrors our profound interconnectedness with one another, the Earth, and all that is sacred to us.

We will be visiting some of the most beloved temples, such as Tirta Empul and the Saraswati Temple, the famous rice fields of Bali, the Sacred Monkey Forest, and more.
You will get to see several popular destinations in Bali. We will also have local guests coming to teach us traditional spiritual practices, and we will go on an unforgettable visit to the Pyramids of Chi.
Additionally, there will be a blissfully luxurious spa experience, with all costs covered in your registration, as well as admission to a special traditional Balinese dance performance for a fun ladies’ night out together!

Blue Karma Resort is located in the city of Ubud, the arts, yoga, and cultural center of Bali. We will all be staying in the same retreat center. All rooms and bathrooms will be shared, which will make it the most amazing sisterhood slumber party!
There will also be time and space for quiet alone time for those who also need it. The resort offers a free shuttle into town multiple times a day.
Our days will be deliciously rich with meaningful group activities and yoga, and we will also be sure you have plenty of time for exploring on your own, relaxing by the pool, journaling, connecting with other women, etc.
You will also have the option of taking additional excursions with other women for things like: batik making, cooking classes, wood carving demonstrations, shopping, an herbal remedy class, and much more!
