Serenity. Stillness. Renewal. Restoration.

〰️ Serenity. Stillness. Renewal. Restoration.

Travel with me to the Island of the Gods for a once-in-a-lifetime retreat experience and opportunity to study astrology on this cosmic and cultural experience in the heart of Ubud, Bali.

Bali, and especially Ubud, is the perfect place for a slow-living astrology retreat because its serene landscapes, vibrant spirituality and deep connection to nature creates an atmosphere where time seems to slow down and standstill. The island’s lush greenery, tranquil rice terraces, and sacred temples invite reflection and mindfulness, allowing you to step away from the busyness of daily life and tap into a deeper, more embodied sense of Self.

Whether you are an aspiring Astrologer or a complete beginner, I would love to welcome you to this nourshing and reflective 8 day Astrology Retreat in beautiful Bali in October 2025.

You'll get to experience daily astrology workshops, yoga, breathwork and meditation classes, a cacao ceremony and sound bath as well as enriching cultural excursions around Ubud and East Bali all whilst learning how to use Astrology as as tool for personal - and collective - self-development and evolution.

“The great benefit of slowing down is reclaiming the time and tranquility to make

meaningful connections” - Carl Honoré

Hi there, astro-lover!

I’m beyond excited to invite you on a magical journey of Astrology and Slow Living in Ubud, Bali! For over 13 years, I’ve been guiding others to connect with themselves through wisdom of the stars, and I can’t wait to share this transformative experience with you - whether you’re new to astrology or well along your path.

Bali holds a special place in my heart, especially after living there in 2015 and 2016, and many years of travelling there prior to my move. Its lush landscapes, vibrant culture, and deep spirituality create the perfect backdrop for this retreat which centres on Slow Living and self- connection through the wisdom held in your natal chart.

Throughout our time together expect plenty of space for reflection, relaxation, pleasure and joy! We’ll explore astrology in accessible and enriching ways to help you reconnect to yourself through embodied practices of slow living. You’ll also have plenty of time to immerse yourself in Bali’s magic and sacred sites, share in laughter and connection with fellow attendees, and rediscover yourself.

If you have any questions about this retreat offering please feel free to reach out. I can’t wait to meet you beautiful Bali next October!

Big love, Katie Emma x

KIND WORDS FROM OUR PREVIOUS GUESTS

"I'm filled with gratitude for this exceptional retreat. It was a truly magical experience. Katie and the team guided us on a journey of self-discovery that provided nourishment on many levels. Katie's astrology classes were a treasure trove of knowledge and wisdom, presented in an engaging, accessible manner. Her evident passion for astrology was contagious and her ability to convey complex concepts remarkable. Katie's oneon-one astro reading was compassionate, kind and empowering, combining intuitive insights with practical advice. She valued each of us as individuals and as part of the group, which made for a very personalised and rewarding experience. Our lively dinner conversations, accompanied by the most delicious food, were equally enjoyable as the serene early morning moments of silence. The beautiful farmhouse and its tranquil surroundings, along with the friendly resident dogs, added to the retreat's charm. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a unique blend of yoga, astrology and genuine human connection." - Wiebke (Portugal 2023 & Glastonbury 2024)

WHAT MAKES THIS RETREAT SPECIAL?

This unique retreat invites you to slow down and align with slow living through transformative and specialised astrology workshops, immersive cultural excursions, and intentional rituals. Each day is curated to help you step away from the demands of daily life and embrace the wisdom of "slow living" - a philosophy that celebrates presence, mindfulness, and living in harmony with nature and the seasonal cycles. The intimate group setting ensures personalised guidance and a sense of community, all within the lush, tranquil environment of Bali and the Ubud jungle.

By learning evolutionary and humanistic astrology, you’ll discover practical ways to embody a more fulfilling life that is unique to your own birthchart, purpose and dreams. The workshops are enriched by Venusian themes of beauty, connection, and pleasure, made all the more potent by Bali’s breathtaking scenery and luxurious surroundings. From savoring locally-inspired meals to participating in various rituals and ceremonies, this retreat is your invitation to recalibrate and rediscover life at a pace that feeds your soul.

THE ASTROLOGY PROGRAM

The Astrology modules on this retreat have been created to align with the heart of Slow Living, inviting you to pause, reflect and connect with yourself in a way that feels grounding and nourishing - as well as deeply personal by studying your own natal chart and evolutionary cycles.

It’s not just about learning astrology - it’s about embodying the cosmic cycles as a practice and tuning into the wisdom that comes when you give yourself space to just be. This approach lets you dive into astrology in way that feels soulful, supportive and personalised, giving you tools to live more intentionally.

During the retreat we will cover:

  • Exploring your Relocated Chart in Bali

  • Saturn Cycles

  • Reframing Retrogrades

  • The 6th House: Finding Beauty in the Details

  • Savouring the Senses with Venus

  • Astrology Timing Techniques for Slow Living

PLUS:

  • Astrology-themed meditations

  • Journal prompts to support all workshops

TRANSITS

During this retreat, there are some powerful astrological transits taking place, and we'll be sharing additional teachings and activities to celebrate these powerful collective alignments.

  • For the entirety of our retreat together, there will be a stunning Grand Water trine between Jupiter in Cancer, Mercury and Mars in Scorpio, and the North Node, Saturn and Neptune in Pisces. This harmonious alignment amplifies emotional flow, intuitive insight, and deep spiritual connection, making it the perfect cosmic container for transformation and renewal.

  • For the duration of our retreat, Jupiter in Cancer is square retrograde Chiron in Aries (and Eris!). This aspect stirs up the push and pull between bold expansion and tender healing, inviting us to grow through the discomfort of facing our deeper wounds with courage and compassion.

    Venus will also be in an applying t-square with these planets, and we’ll explore this alignment in detail during our Venus workshop.

  • Mercury's move into Sagittarius on the 29th October sparks expansive thinking, adventurous conversations, and a quest for truth, wisdom, and meaningful exploration.

  • On the 30th October, these two transits coinciding bring profound emotional insights, transformative conversations, and an opportunity to uncover deep truths and empower your voice with authenticity and emotional resonance.

  • Samhain is time to reflect, prepare for hibernation and to honour our ancestors - as well as being the “Witches New Year”. We encourage guests to bring any photos or small trinkets of their ancestors to place on the Samhain Altar we will be creating together during the retreat.

DAILY PROGRAM

Our days in Bali begin with a gentle yoga session, breathwork class or slow morning, followed by a nourishing buffet breakfast overlooking the rice fields. The mornings will then flow into an astrology workshop in the yoga shala, or an exciting off-site excursion to various locations around Ubud or East Bali.

From midday to mid-afternoon you’re free to sink into relaxation - lounge by the pool, treat yourself to a luxurious massage, or wander into Ubud to experience the lively Monkey Forest, local markets, and charming cafés.

In the afternoons we’ll gather for either a second astrology workshop or another enriching off-site excursion if we didn’t have one in the morning. Later we’ll return to share a delicious and nourishing group dinner onsite.

Evenings will feature a variety of restful activities from sound baths and cacao ceremonies to astrology-based meditations and rituals, all designed to help you sink deeper into the pace of slow living.

EXCURSIONS + ACTIVITIES

  • We’ll visit a sacred water temple surrounded by ancient shrines and crystal clear water fed by natural springs. The Balinese believe that bathing in these waters is a very healing and spiritual experience, and this will be the perfect opportunity for us to set our intentions for the rest of our retreat together.

  • After our water healing ceremony, we’ll visit and have lunch at the amazing Tegallalang Rice Terraces overlooking the breath-taking scenery. Then a swing to freedom out over the rice fields followed by some coffee and tea tasting

  • Join Ibu Made, a local hero, who elevates her village through herbal tea production and empowering over a hundred women to cultivate herbs and providing job opportunities at her factory. Tour her exquisite garden and enjoy a High Tea ceremony, sampling over five different teas paired with local desserts.

  • A chance for us to breathe in that fresh ocean air and feel the sand between our toes! Spend the day at this secluded beach in East Bali truly switching off by lounging on a sun- bed, sipping fresh coconuts and taking a refreshing dip.

  • A Balinese Cooking Class that offers you an opportunity to learn how to cook real Balinese food with local ingredients, with skilled and friendly chef Putu in a traditional Balinese village where she and her extended family live.

  • This cacao ceremony is designed to open the heart and invite more embodiment and flow into your life. It’s part of our “savouring the senses” day, alongside the balinese cooking class, sound bath and a deep dive into Venus, pleasure and the senses in astrology.

  • Clarity Breathwork is a gentle, safe and extremely powerful breathing process that supports people to release stress and tension, heal and resolve trauma, gain deeper insights into current life issues and access one's own internal healing energy, creativity and greater knowing - opening the way for new life and greater consciousness.

  • Goa Raja Waterfall in Bali is a hidden gem nestled within lush jungle surroundings, offering a tranquil escape where cascading waters and natural beauty create a peaceful sanctuary for reflection and renewal. The cascading waters creates a natural pool that we can swim in, and this spot offers a more secluded and authentic experience of Bali.

More Kind Words From Our Previous Guests

“I signed up because I needed some time for deep introspection and was hoping to get some help figuring out in what direction I want to take my life, and I left with my heart feeling so full! I absolutely loved the morning yoga sessions with Nic - you can really tell how knowledgeable she is about her yoga practice, as she brings in beautiful aspects from her time in India and her other travels. As a complete newbie to astrology, I signed up hoping to learn a little bit more about myself, but Katie totally blew my mind. It’s incredible how much she was able to pack into just 5 days of astrology classes. Despite the ladies having very different levels of expertise in astrology she was able to make it engaging and interesting and educational for us all. Her approach is very conversational, individual and the classes just flew by. Her natal chart reading too was incredibly helpful to my journey and I walked out feeling very motivated. Apart from yoga and astrology, the girls had included numerous amazing activities to the retreat such as forest walks, meditative painting, sound healing, meditation, cacao ceremony and relaxing days at the pool. Also, the food was all vegetarian and absolutely delicious so my stomach was really grateful. Couldn’t recommend this retreat enough. It was the perfect mix of relaxation, learning and moving” - Daniela S (Portugal 2024)

“The Equinox Astrology retreat was truly amazing, and I feel so privileged to have experienced it with a wonderful group of likeminded women. We’ve stayed in touch and supported each other even after the retreat ended, which has been a bonus. Everyone got so much out of it, even though we were all at different levels with our astrology knowledge. Honestly, there was no need to be an astrology buff beforehand - Katie is an incredible teacher. She delivered the classes in a way that resonated with all of us, regardless of our background. Katie’s teachings, along with the personal reading, gave me a deeper understanding of why I feel and act the way I do, which brought me a lot of reassurance, especially after a tough year. She’s sparked a thirst for more knowledge in me, and I’ll continue my learning. I’ve definitely gone down the astrology rabbit hole in a big way and can’t wait to explore more of her other classes and tuition! it all made for a truly magical experience. I can’t recommend this retreat enough for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of astrology (and themselves!)” - Holly R (Portugal 2024)

“I attended the astrology retreat hosted by Katie and Nic this past September, and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I've made. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but when I saw an opportunity to connect with people who shared my interests, I just knew I had to go for it. Where I am in life right now, I was looking for a safe space to share more (which I struggle with a lot) and connect with others. After isolating myself for a couple of years, I knew it wasn’t healthy, so I figured it was time to let go and flow with whatever came my way. I walked through every door that opened, and I don’t regret a thing. From having an amazing roommate to making new friends and building sisterhood, to all the things I learned and let go of—it was truly transformational. If any of this resonates with you, I’d say, give yourself the chance. It’s a little scary at first, but once you're in it, it feels like magic. I’ll forever be grateful for those six days with an incredible group of people. Nic and Katie were so supportive the whole time. I learned more in those six days than I ever did from hours of diving into information online. I’m forever grateful!” - Vanessa K (Portugal 2024)

“What a wonderful few days with a mix of Astrology taught by Katie, Yoga led by Nic and delicious menu provided by Alberto and Eva. Katie's enthusiasm and love for her subject was very obvious. She is an inspirational, supportive and motivating tutor, giving us all some wonderful, enlightening sessions, and is very generous with her free resources. Nic's varied yoga classes first thing in the morning were a great way to start our days. Meals were tasty and always varied - something to look forward to. Our group was very friendly, all from different backgrounds and reasons for being on the retreat, with some coming from the other side of the world. It was a truly wonderful experience and I shall be signing up for future retreats” - Linda H (Portugal 2024)
