Awakening Shakti Power through the Alchemical Temple Arts of Kundalini Dance, Inner Tantra, and Goddess Embodiment.
There are moments in a woman’s life when something deep within begins to stir — a quiet knowing that she is here to serve something greater… and that her life force longs to be fully expressed.
Yet many women carry ancient layers of suppression in the pelvis, womb, jaw and throat — places where Shakti, the feminine life force of creation, has long been silenced.
These energetic locks can restrict our creativity, voice, sensuality and power far more than we realise.
This 10-day Mystery School Immersion in Bali is an invitation to gently release those bindings and awaken the radiant power of Shakti within the body — freeing your creative life force and authentic expression.
At the heart of this journey is Inner Tantra — the sacred alchemical marriage of Divine Feminine Shakti and Divine Masculine Solar Consciousness within the body.
Through embodied spiritual practice, we explore the path as a divine romance, where union with the Divine is discovered through embodying the Goddess in all her forms:
Mother | Lover | Priestess | Initiatrix | Sovereign Queen | Beloved
Guided by Leyolah Antara, master teacher of inner alchemy with over 35 years of experience holding space for embodied spiritual awakening, participants enter a profound journey of transformation.
Together we reconnect with:
• Our creative life force
• Our authentic voice
• Erotic innocence
• Sovereign sexual power
• Our deep feminine intuitive knowing
• And the immense ocean of love within
Leyolah’s work bridges ancient streams of mystical wisdom including Kashmiri Shaivism, the Tantric traditions of India, Egyptian Temple Arts, and other sacred lineages that honour the Divine Feminine path of the Sacred Marriage — teachings that ultimately lead us on the evolutionary path of the divinisation of the human body.
Through decades of study, practice, and transmission, Leyolah has translated these profound teachings into grounded, feminine practices that can be directly lived and experienced in the body.
For ten days in Bali we gather in a high-vibrational temple space, surrendering our bodies to the divine while gently learning to meet the places where we brace against life force.
Through a loving, mindful and somatically aware approach we explore layers of resistance, protection and suppressed feeling — allowing the body to soften and awaken to its natural sensual healing intelligence.
This immersion is both a personal initiation and professional training, forming part of the Kundalini Dance Priestess Certification Pathway for those who choose to continue the journey.
Above all, this retreat offers a profound immersion into practices that anchor the light of your soul into your body to awaken your unique soul gifts and divinize your body.
This is not simply a retreat. It is an initiation into the living path of inner alchemy and embodied transformation — designed to leave you feeling deeply nourished, empowered and aligned with your soul’s true compass.
“This practice came into my life during one of the toughest periods of my life and became my absolute lifeline. The timing felt truly divine. This journey helped me release shame around my body, sensuality and sexuality. I feel far more liberated and accepting of myself.”
— Samantha
You may feel called to this retreat if you…..
✷ sense a deep stirring in your body and soul — a knowing that the feminine life force within you is ready to awaken more fully.
✷ feel that parts of your voice, sensuality, creativity or spiritual power have been held back or suppressed, and you long to reclaim them.
✷ know that embodiment and ecstatic movement can transform old patterns held in the body and awaken a more authentic expression of who you are.
✷ feel drawn to the path of Inner Union — the sacred marriage of Divine Feminine Shakti and Divine Masculine Christ Light within the body.
✷ are curious to explore the awakening of Kundalini Shakti and the living presence of the Goddess through her archetypal expressions — mother, lover, mystic and priestess.
✷ feel called to embody your ancient feminine wisdom, allowing the courage of your voice, your truth and your authentic presence to be seen.
✷ are drawn to the deeper feminine mystical path — including tantra, sacred sexuality, womb wisdom and the alchemy of sacred union.
✷ are moving through a threshold in your life — changes in identity, relationship, creative direction, or the initiatory passages of perimenopause or menopause.
✷ long for sisterhood and sacred space where women gather to remember their truth, soften the heart, explore sacred connection in ways that feel deeply nourished and revitalising.
✷ may also feel a call to guide or hold transformational spaces for others. Both men and woman and would like to have more potent, ecstatic, shamanic and ecstatically embodied tools for your tool belt.
✷ simply feeling something inside you feel like a yes when you read these words, even if you cannot fully explain why.
“After our first ceremony I could feel an intense fire slowly coming alive within me.”
— Sekhina
A typical day at the Bali Mystery School begins just before dawn.
You wake to the hush of early morning, overlooking the shimmering ocean, the horizon still wrapped in darkness, the golden light of the moon reflecting upon the deep waters.
You wander to the café as the day begins to breathe awake, sipping warm lemon ginger tea while gazing out over the sea. We gather in the soft morning light for subtle energy yoga — a gentle awakening practice that opens the body, enlivens the cells, and prepares you to meet the day with greater presence and spaciousness.
After practice, a beautiful breakfast awaits: papaya, pineapple, mangosteen, and other tropical fruits, alongside an abundance of sweet and savoury breakfast dishes. All served overlooking the calm ocean of North Bali. There is a sense of being deeply nourished here — by beauty, by nature, by simplicity, by abundance.
Perhaps you take a morning swim in the pool or ocean to refresh and reset.
Then we gather in the Rose Temple for the deeper work of the day.
This is a space of devotion, of opening the vessel to the currents of God and Goddess, of gently unwinding the knots you have carried in the body and heart. You are held in a field of sisterhood where it is safe to soften, unravel, and feel. The emotional bindings, the suppression, the armouring you may have carried — often without knowing how to meet it — here it is welcomed into loving awareness.
This is a space where all of you is welcome.
Where you are seen as beautiful in your vulnerability and in your strength.
Where tenderness is honoured.
Where your radiance is remembered.
After the morning temple work, there is a spacious three-hour break to rest, integrate, journal, receive a massage, enjoy a beauty treatment, or simply lie back and allow your body to absorb all that is opening. You may even book time on the vibrational chakra bed, allowing the nervous system to soften and recalibrate.
A nourishing lunch of exquisite Balinese vegetarian cuisine is served overlooking the ocean — vibrant, fresh, and lovingly prepared. Every meal here becomes part of the ritual of nourishment.
On some days, we journey out into nature — perhaps hiking to a waterfall, allowing the wild currents of the water to cleanse and unravel you even more deeply.
Later, we return to the temple to continue.
The afternoon invites you deeper into embodiment: goddess embodiment practices, inner union work, kundalini dance, chakra alchemy, and sacred Tantric processes that support the clearing of shame around sexuality and sensuality, and the reclaiming of your voice and deep feminine power.
Day by day your courage grows.
Your confidence returns.
Your inner radiance becomes brighter and more embodied.
Bonds are formed here.
Sisterhood deepens here.
And through it all, you are guided with compassion by Leyolah, who gently helps you see what you may not yet see in yourself.
Old vows and contracts begin to lift.
Ancient soul memories begin to stir.
You enter more deeply into the initiatory spaces your soul has long been calling for.
As the day comes to a close, we gather again for a beautiful dinner overlooking the ocean — another exquisite Balinese vegetarian feast served on the terrace as the sun sets over the calm waters of North Bali.
Slowly, gently, and powerfully, something within you begins to transform.
This is not simply a retreat.
It is an immersion into your spiritual awakening — a remembering of your divine human potential.
And when you return home, you do not return the same.
You return more open.
More embodied.
More radiant.
You return with tools and keys of inner alchemy that will serve you for the rest of your life — practices that help you resource yourself more deeply, regulate your nervous system, and remain connected to the deeper intelligence of your body and soul, while also learning how to hold space for others through their own embodied transformation and Shakti awakening.
This work awakens your inner sovereignty.
It is not simply about sexuality.
It is about how you live.
How you show up in relationship.
How you hold yourself in moments of emotional intensity.
How you listen to the wisdom of your body.
How you meet your physical challenges.
How you parent, love, create, and lead your life.
This path awakens consciousness on every level of your being.
These are living practices that support you to navigate life with greater presence, clarity, and courage.
They help you listen more deeply to the quiet voice within — the voice of your soul.
Because ultimately this path is not about becoming someone new.
It is about remembering who you truly are and aligning your life with the deeper calling of your soul.
“I felt such a deep sense of relief in my throat and voice, as if both personal and ancestral layers were releasing. I’m in awe of the power, healing and transformation that happens in these ceremonies.”
— Tiffany

Answering the Call
There are times in life when we feel the quiet call of something deeper — a knowing that the life within us is ready to unfold in a new way. This retreat is an invitation into that unfolding. Over these ten days, the sacred currents of Shakti begin to awaken, the heart softens and opens, and the deeper truth of who you are begins to reveal itself. As the inner marriage of the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine comes into harmony within the body, many women rediscover a profound sense of wholeness, vitality and radiant presence. From this place, life is no longer lived from striving or searching, but from a deeper connection to the wisdom and love that already lives within. If something in you feels stirred by these words, trust that knowing. Sometimes the soul recognises a path long before the mind understands it.

Leyolah Antara
Founder of Kundalini Dance™ & Pioneer of Tantric Somatic Embodied Transformation
For over 30 years, Leyolah has been a visionary pioneer in somatic, tantric embodied transformation, training embodied feminine leaders long before the field of feminine embodiment existed. She founded Kundalini Dance™ in the early 1990s, developing a unique tantric–somatic pathway that wove somatic descent, chakra alchemy, womb awakening, breathwork, archetypal embodiment, and ecstatic dance into a transformational lineage that has touched thousands across the world. Her work is rooted in the Rose Lineage, feminine mysticism, and the path of Divine Union that is shared from a foundation of the unifying practice of Sacred Inner Union.
READ MORE
Kundalini Dance™ has always been more than a movement practice—it is a path of initiation. From its earliest days, it guided women into deep body-listening, emotional healing, nervous system regulation, and the awakening of Shakti through the chakra system. This lineage carries both the grounded tenderness of somatic embodiment and the sacred intensity of tantric alchemy, offering a holistic and ecstatic path of feminine awakening.
Today, Leyolah is one of the only teachers within the Rose Lineage offering a fully embodied transformational path—a lineage where the mystical, devotional, and archetypal teachings of the Rose are experienced through the body, through movement, breath, voice, sensation, and somatic descent. Her priestess trainings are among the few that unite Rose Mysteries with true embodied transformation.
In this 20th Anniversary evolution of the work, Leyolah brings forward a refined somatic feminine approach—uniting emotional presence, nervous system attunement, trauma awareness with feminine leadership, chakra alchemy, and embodied spiritual initiation into a living temple training for those called to the Priestess Path and seeking real, embodied transformation.
“Through the womb clearing practice I felt deep grief release and a new tenderness open in my partnership.”
