Cocoon Women's Retreat
Cocoon Women's Retreat
Yama Balian, Bali 31 July - 5 Aug 2026
Cocoon Women’s Retreat is set in a tranquil jungle oasis where the sacred Balian River meets the Indian Ocean; a traditional location for wellness and healing.
We have 5 nights together with exclusive use of the exceptional Yama Balian Resort. The 10 architecturally designed bungalows are thoughtfully curated with a harmonious blend of modern elegance and natural materials, creating the perfect peaceful calm for a retreat.
This retreat is a special container for women to be nurtured, reconnect with themselves and embrace their feminine spirit.
Emerge from the Cocoon revitalised and empowered; having experienced a deeper connection to yourself, to nature and to your body. You will return home rested, nourished and invigorated. You may experience a metamorphosis.
Hosted by yoga, meditation and breathwork facilitator Rachel Goldenberg

FACILITATOR
Rachel Goldenberg
Rachel found her path to yoga in her 40s, at a time of personal struggle. She experienced yoga’s profound transformative capacity to calm the mind, strengthen the body, and heal the spirit. Through continued learning and a daily practice, Rachel has developed in-depth knowledge of yoga philosophy, breath-work, asana and meditation. She specialises in guiding women through yogic practices for the transition from peri to post menopause. She has completed her 350 hr advanced yoga teacher training, myofascial release, yoga for menopause wellbeing, mat Pilates, yin yoga training and is a certified meditation facilitator.
‘What I offer is a gateway to explore practices - breathwork, yoga and meditation and touch - a tool kit that has lasted the ages. In simply stepping away - retreating - from your daily responsibilities there is value.
A retreat is a gift to yourself; one you’re deserving of. It’s a privilege to create a cocoon for women to come back to themselves.’
