Every great journey begins with a quiet calling that leads us toward something larger than ourselves. For our founder, Chelsea Ross, that calling became a lifelong devotion to creating sacred spaces for women.
Specifically, she envisioned a place where women could reconnect with their essence, rediscover their inner strength, and celebrate their personal growth.
In a recent episode of the Women With Cool Jobs podcast, Chelsea shares the heartfelt story behind the creation of our very first retreats in Bali.
From a Simple Surf Camp to a Holistic Sanctuary
What began as a simple idea for a women’s surf camp quickly evolved into something far deeper. Over time, it grew into a dedicated sanctuary of reflection, joy, and self-discovery.
Unlike a traditional vacation, a wellness retreat invites you to pause, look within, and gain fresh perspective on your life path. Furthermore, immersing yourself in a supportive environment allows real transformation to unfold naturally.
“Bali is a magical island, where everything is done with incredible beauty and devotion,” Chelsea shares during the podcast. “From the daily flower offerings to the sacred temples carved by hand, the island itself feels alive with spirit. Therefore, I wanted to capture that energy and weave it into a week of self-exploration, rich culture, and pampering. It was something I wanted for myself, and something I deeply wanted to share with other women.”
