goddess retreat
in japan - may 2025
Beautiful Soul
It is with great Joy and Excitement that I share the details of the Goddess Retreat in Japan. A Goddess Retreat in Japan, has been brewing since 2019 when I hosted a Goddess Retreat in France. The group were discussing where we would like to go for more Goddess Retreats, and Japan popped out of my mouth. I was taken aback, I really do not know where that idea came from. After the retreat, I met my husband in Paris for a few days and there, in the middle of Paris, I saw a fully dressed Geisha. So it was confirmed ……………..the Universe was guiding me to Japan. This has been a difficult retreat to plan logistically as I really did not know anything about the country. I have spent almost 2 months working with agents, probably driving them completely mad, to get the itinerary perfect, and I now have a good feeling and am ready to explore the beauty of Japan with you.
We will be visiting Temples, Gardens, a Saki Museum, getting dressed up in kimonos, catching a glimpse of Mount Fuji, having dinner with a Geisha group, walking through bamboo forests, be guided through a Zen Meditation with a Master of Zen Meditation, guided through a Traditional Tea Ceremony, visit the Memorial to the founder of Reiki Energy Healing, Mikao Usui and so much more.
As with all Goddess Retreats, we will be taking time to Connect with our Divinity, learn how to create Abundance, release blockages that are getting in the way of living Joy Filled, Abundant lives!
Are you hearing the Call? I would so love for you to join me in exploring this completely different culture where life is filled with spirituality. Please see the detailed Itinerary below.
All Goddess Retreats have the INTENTION of assisting participants to learn to LOVE themselves. The Goddess Tour in Japan is no different. As well as experiencing the beauty of Japan, we will be doing a lot of inner work too. Meditations, mantras, clearing what no longer serves us, and moving into a space of Divine Love and Pure Joy. No participant of any Goddess Retreat has left the same person as they arrived. New perspectives are learned and lives change.
We honour the Divine Feminine in all participants, whether male or female and therefore Goddess Tours are open to everyone who would like to move into a space of Divine Love. Nurturing qualities of Self Love, Self Acceptance, Forgiveness, Accepting and Celebrating Diversity, Discovering our Divinity and Soul Purpose, Remembering that we are Alchemists!
The tools that we use for Healing our Hearts, Thoughts, Beliefs, remembering that we are Alchemists are some of the following:
-
Meditation
-
Daily Alchemy Circles
-
Mantras
-
Sound Therapy
-
Essential oils
-
Chakra Balancing
-
Looking at the Mirror
-
Working with the Elements: Fire, Wind, Earth & Water
These tools have proven to be very effective in all Goddess Tours, and assist participants to shift. Some only slightly, and some dramatically. There is always a shift in Consciousness.
"This is why alchemy exists," the boy said. "So that everyone will search for his treasure, find it, and then want to be better than he was in his former life. Lead will play its role until the world has no further need for lead; and then lead will have to turn itself into gold. That's what alchemists do. They show that, when we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better, too." Paulo Coelho

Fushimi Inari Shrine – the chief of thousands of shrines throughout the country dedicated to Inari, the Shinto deity of economic prosperity, rice, and foxes. What sets this shrine apart is the sight of hundreds of bright vermillion “torii” gates that form long pathways through the forest covering Mount Inari.
Kinkakuji Temple, also known as the Golden Pavilion, is one of Kyoto's most iconic landmarks.
The most striking feature of Kinkaku-ji is its top two floors, which are completely covered in gold leaf. The golden reflection of the pavilion in the pond, along with the beautiful Japanese gardens, creates a breathtaking scene that attracts visitors from all over the world.
The main attraction at Nijō Castle is its impressive architectural design and historical features. The castle complex is known for its beautiful Ninomaru Palace, which is renowned for its exquisite interiors and elaborate decorations. The palace is famous for its "nightingale floors," which chirp when walked upon, a clever security measure designed to alert occupants to the presence of intruders. The ornate rooms and tatami mats showcase traditional Japanese design, including intricate wood carvings and beautiful sliding doors.
We travel to the ancient city of Nara, where we will visit one of Japan’s most famous temples and an icon of the city: Todaiji Temple, which is home to the Great Buddha of Nara – a massive, seated image of the Buddha Vairocana, known as a “Cosmic Buddha”.
I am so excited to visit beautiful Japan, with its exquisite gardens, temples and very different way of life. I believe there is a great opportunity for personal growth because of the very spiritual nature of Japan. I would love you to join me on this Journey.
