Somatic Movement | Feminine Essence

With over 25 years of facilitation and a lifetime immersed in embodied movement, Sarsha brings a rare depth of wisdom and presence to her work. She is the visionary founder of Somatic Dance International, a pioneering training program that weaves somatic facilitation, ritual, music, and eco-somatic practices into potent, trauma-informed spaces for transformation.

Her offerings are an invitation to return home to the body - to awaken flow, release what is held, and reclaim the truth and power of the feminine essence. As founder and transmitter of The Temple of Living Codes, Sarsha has guided countless women through initiations of remembrance, reclaiming lost rites of passage, and embodying the full spectrum of the feminine through movement, ritual, and deep inner work.

Known as a magnetic permission-giver and grounded priestess, she holds space with fierce love, clarity, and grace - creating sanctuary for the body to soften, emotions to flow, and the soul to remember its innate wisdom. In her presence, movement becomes medicine, expression becomes liberation, and the feminine is honoured in all her light and shadow.

Sound | Energy | Alchemy

Joining us from his home in Byron Bay, Taylor is a well-loved presence in healing spaces across Australasia. His music doesn’t just create a calming atmosphere - it plays an active role in your transformation.

Deeply driven by love and a genuine passion to inspire, Taylor is a sound alchemist whose mission is to share therapeutic music that empowers you to uncover the innermost essence of love within yourself.

Throughout the retreat, Taylor’s live sound journeys and ambient soundscapes are woven into key moments to support deep emotional release, energetic clearing, and nervous system regulation. His music helps recalibrate your inner landscape - clearing old residue, softening mental noise, and restoring natural resonance in the body. Every note is finely tuned to the healing frequency of 432 Hertz; the essence of love and the earth resonates through his harmonious melodies, played on the handpan, Native American flute and Shamanic drum.

Taylor brings a steady, grounding presence that gently supports each woman’s personal journey. Through sound, he helps create an environment where you can feel more connected, more spacious, and more in tune with yourself - long after the last note fades.

Nourish & Bloom Co-Creator | Sacred Space Holder + Guide

Chelsea is one of New Zealand’s most loved and trusted public figures – her connection with people built through food, but rooted in something far deeper.

For over a decade, she has built a bond of loyalty and authenticity through her recipes, her honesty, and her grounded, down-to-earth way of being. Many have grown alongside her and walked their own personal evolutions in parallel.

While much of her journey has unfolded in public, her most profound transformations have been deeply personal. She has moved through seasons of deep loss – of self, of meaning, of inner light. Through it all, she has rebuilt herself time and again, integrating every fall, every rise and every lesson. In that process, something was awakened – a spark of feminine remembrance that now calls her to help other women rise. Her wisdom is lived, not learned, and what she offers now flows from embodiment.

With humour as medicine, an easeful, welcoming presence, and a gift for truly seeing others (with compassion, beyond the surface) Chelsea creates spaces where women feel safe to soften, unravel, and return to themselves.

After 13 years of nourishing others through food, this retreat marks a new kind of nourishment – one that feeds the soul.
