The
Motherhouse
A rare family-centric getaway for single and solo mothers — soften into your body, meet your shadows in good company, leave inspired by the women beside you.
You were never meant to do this alone.
A retreat run by single mothers who know exactly what it's like to move between full-time parenting and deepening into time with yourself. This is not the mindfulness-and-yoga retreat you've seen all over Bali. This is a retreat devoted to the women who parent mostly on their own — to your nourishment, your evolution, and the version of you that's still in there underneath the mental load.
It's mothers choosing community over isolation. To meet themselves in new ways, expand what's possible, and practise connection in real time. A rare nine days where everything is organised for you, so you can arrive and just be. That's where the magic lives.
Come as your whole self. You'll be met in whatever season of mothering you're in. Together we'll cry, laugh, learn, and come back to nourishing ourselves and our children at the same time.
Mothering was never meant to be done alone. Let us hold you.
We suggest arriving in Bali a few days before the retreat begins — to settle, adjust, and arrive already a little softer.
You'll leave more expanded and curious about your future.
The experience of being supported without having to hold everything — and the felt understanding that you were never meant to do this alone.
A way back into pleasure and joy as a mother — somatic tools to reconnect with your body and expand your nervous system's capacity to actually feel good again.
More capacity for the hard moments — somatic practices that help you hold the weight of solo parenting without breaking under it.
A deeper relationship with your values — an inner compass to guide you toward your bigger vision and the choices that actually align with it.
Permission to step back into your creative power as a mother — to get out of your own way, discover what's really possible for your life, and learn about the energetics of creativity.
Four workshops.
One journey.
A transformative journey through four interconnected workshops, each designed to guide you deeper into presence, pleasure, and authentic connection.
Each workshop builds on the last — moving you from body awareness, into values, into possibility, into receiving. This is the heart of the Motherhouse.
Connecting to Body
Moving out of the mind and back into the body. Breath, sensation, awareness. Reconnecting to pleasure without guilt and remembering what it feels like to be in yourself again.
- Nervous system regulation
- Body-based presence
- Reclaiming pleasure
Values-Based
Slowing down enough to hear yourself clearly. What actually matters vs what you've been carrying. Anchoring into values in the body — not just the mind.
- Clarity on what matters now
- A values compass for decisions
- Releasing what no longer fits
Portal of
Stepping beyond current identity. Meeting the version of you that exists outside survival. Visioning from the body, not pressure. Letting yourself want more without needing to justify it.
- Expanding beyond survival mode
- Embodied visioning
- Permission to want more
Receiving
The emotional peak. Slowing everything down. Letting yourself be seen, letting yourself be held. Partner work, connection, safe touch. Being supported without needing to earn it.
- Allowing yourself to be held
- Safe touch & connection
- The end of earning love
WHAT'S HELD FOR YOU
Daily support.
From the moment you arrive, you're looked after. The schedule is designed to hold both you and your children — weaving devoted space for the mothers while keeping the little ones cared for and close by.
This isn't a packed itinerary. It's a rhythm built around what mothers actually need: spaciousness, rest, real time for yourself, and the quiet relief of knowing your kids are never far. While having dedicated present time to enjoy Bali with our children.
4 Guided Workshops
Into the Body · Values-Based Living · Portal of Possibility · Receiving Support — the heart of the Motherhouse.
Morning Kids Group
2 hours daily, led by nannies — so you can fully drop into the space without interruption.
Nannies 9am–5pm Daily
Support throughout the day. Additional nanny support available outside those hours on request.
Optional Movement or Meditation
A gentle way to come into your body each morning. Always optional, never pressured.
Nourishing Food Daily
Three meals a day prepared with intention. Grounding breakfasts, nourishing lunches, and dinners that shift between the villa and out under the Balinese sky.
Balinese Blessing
A traditional welcome blessing led by locals to open the experience with intention.
1:1 Reset — Your Hour
A full hour where you are not needed. Your choice of massage, mani or pedi. Every mum receives one.
Mum-Led Kids Activity
1 hour daily — plan this with our organisers before the trip. One mum leads, everyone benefits.
Women's Witnessing Ceremony
An evening ceremony of deep seeing — being witnessed and witnessing others. A chance to slow all the way down and be truly seen.
Consent Workshop — Day 1
Mandatory for all adults. Sets the foundation for how we share space, communicate and live together.
Submerge Yourself in Nature
The space has been intentionally selected to help you mute the noise.
Sunset Beach Picnic
One evening we take it outside — a shared picnic on Balian Beach as the sun goes down. No structure, just good food and the ocean.
Group-organised extras
Once the group is formed, we connect before the trip to organise anything extra together — surfing lessons, PT sessions, or other excursions. If you want it and others do too, we make it happen. You only ever pay for what you choose to join.
Food as medicine.
Looking after your body starts with the food you consume.
Every meal at The Motherhouse is crafted with intention, using seasonal ingredients that nourish from the inside out. For 8 days, be cooked for and nourished by our female chef — 15 years of experience in food and 8 years in the holistic health and wellness space. Deeply passionate about nourished eating for regulation, every meal is designed to down-regulate your body, aid in digestion and rest your nervous system.
This is not catering. It is care.
Supported
the whole way.
Before You Arrive
2 connection calls with the women joining you — meet each other, share your thoughts, fears and joys, and lean into being held before you even land.
During the Retreat
Access to a private community of 90+ women. Daily structure, nannies, nourishment, workshops and spacious evenings — all held.
After You Leave
1 post-retreat integration call — share what changed, what you loved, what you needed. The WhatsApp group stays open for 1 month post-call.
Two private villas,
Balian.
Set on 60 acres of lush tropical land in Balian, two neighbouring villas sit side by side — giving the group space to spread out while staying connected. Open living spaces, wide terraces, and the surrounding jungle make every morning feel like a slow exhale.
Both villas blend Balinese character with modern comfort. Balian is old Bali — black sand beach, sacred river, village life unchanged for decades. Far from the crowds. Exactly right.
