GOLDEN ESSENCE

YOUR RETREAT PREP GUIDE

Our Bali escape is just around the corner, and this page is your soft landing, a space to help you prepare in all the ways that matter.

Inside you’ll find everything you need, from what to pack to what to expect, so you can arrive grounded, open, and ready to sink in.

This retreat has been planned with so much intention. A full-body, full-heart experience to help you reconnect with your creativity, reignite your passion, and feel completely held in the process. It’s not just about photography (though you’ll be creating magic!), it’s about stepping away from the grind, being surrounded by like-minded women, and giving yourself the space to remember why you started. Expect golden light, barefoot dinners, deep conversations, and that spark that comes from feeling inspired again.

Whether you're seasoned, just starting out, or somewhere in between, you are so welcome here. In your softness, your quiet confidence, your big dreams, and your beautiful, messy magic. This is for you and I cannot wait to squeeze you in person and spend this unforgettable weekend together.
