Every great journey begins with a whisper, a quiet calling that leads us toward something larger than ourselves. For our founder, Chelsea Ross, that whisper became a lifelong devotion to creating sacred spaces where women could reconnect with their essence, rediscover their strength, and celebrate their inner light.
In the newly released Women With Cool Jobs Podcast, Chelsea shares the heartfelt story behind the creation of our first retreats in Bali. What began as a simple idea, a surf camp for women, evolved into something far deeper. It became a sanctuary of reflection, joy, and self-discovery. Unlike a traditional holiday, a retreat invites us to pause, to look within, and to gain new perspective on our lives.
As Chelsea beautifully shares, “Bali is a magical island — everything here is done with such beauty and devotion. From the daily flower offerings to the sacred temples carved by hand, the island itself feels alive with spirit. I wanted to capture that energy and weave it into a week of self-exploration, culture, and pampering. Something I would want for myself, and something I wanted to share with women.”
Through this podcast, listeners are invited behind the scenes, into the heart of what makes Goddess Retreats more than just a getaway. It is a living invitation to come home to yourself, surrounded by beauty, sisterhood, and soulful transformation.
