Schedule

The Astrology workshops on this retreat have been created to align with the heart of Slow Living, inviting you to pause, reflect, and connect with yourself in a way that feels grounding and nourishing - as well as deeply personal by studying your own natal chart and evolutionary cycles. It’s not just about learning astrology - it’s about embodying the cosmic cycles as a practice and tuning into the wisdom that comes when you give yourself space to just be. This approach lets you dive into astrology in a way that feels supportive and personalised, giving you the tools to live more intentionally. During the retreat, you will enjoy the following workshops: - Exploring your Relocated Chart in Bali - Saturn Cycles - Reframing Retrogrades - The 6th House: Finding Beauty in the Details - Savouring the Senses with Venus - Astrology Timing Techniques for Slow Living PLUS: - Astrology-themed meditations - Values workshop - Journal prompts to support all workshops ASTROLOGY TRANSITS: During this retreat, there are some powerful astrological transits taking place, and we'll be sharing additional teachings and activities to celebrate these powerful collective alignments. Nodes shift onto the Aquarius/Leo Axis – 26th July This marks a significant collective turning point, inviting us to balance individual creative expression (Leo) with visionary innovation and community care (Aquarius). It’s a powerful time to reconnect to your purpose and consider how your unique gifts are part of a greater collective story. Sun opposite Pluto, trine Neptune, sextile Uranus – 27th July This is a day of profound energetic activation. The Sun activates the “transpersonal magic triangle,” present throughout the year, and blends deep transformation (Pluto), spiritual inspiration (Neptune), and radical liberation (Uranus). Expect breakthroughs, intuitive downloads, and a sense of being cosmically guided into your next level. Sun conjunct Jupiter in Leo + Aquarius Full Moon + Mars square Venus – 29th July A rich day of big energy. The Leo Sun is conjunct Jupiter, expanding joy, purpose, and heart-led vision. Meanwhile, the Full Moon in Aquarius brings insight and clarity into our bigger dreams and how we’re here to serve and shine, and we'll share a full moon ceremony together. The Mars-Venus square adds a spark of passion and creative tension, stirring relationships and desires with a fiery charge. Moon conjunct North Node – 31st July We close our retreat under this soul-guided transit. The Moon will be in conjunction with the North Node, encouraging emotional alignment with your future path and deep intuitive clarity. A beautiful way to integrate all you’ve experienced and anchor your intentions going forward.

Testimonials

"I attended the astrology retreat hosted by Katie and Nic this past September, and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I've made. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but when I saw an opportunity to connect with people who shared my interests, I just knew I had to go for it. Where I am in life right now, I was looking for a safe space to share more (which I struggle with a lot) and connect with others. After isolating myself for a couple of years, I knew it wasn’t healthy, so I figured it was time to let go and flow with whatever came my way. I walked through every door that opened, and I don’t regret a thing. From having an amazing roommate to making new friends and building sisterhood, to all the things I learned and let go of—it was truly transformational. If any of this resonates with you, I’d say, give yourself the chance. It’s a little scary at first, but once you're in it, it feels like magic. I’ll forever be grateful for those six days with an incredible group of people. Nic and Katie were so supportive the whole time. I learned more in those six days than I ever did from hours of diving into information online. I’m forever grateful!"

“I signed up because I needed some time for deep introspection and was hoping to get some help figuring out in what direction I want to take my life, and I left with my heart feeling so full! I absolutely loved the morning yoga sessions with Nic - you can really tell how knowledgeable she is about her yoga practice, as she brings in beautiful aspects from her time in India and her other travels. As a complete newbie to astrology, I signed up hoping to learn a little bit more about myself, but Katie totally blew my mind. It’s incredible how much she was able to pack into just 5 days of astrology classes. Despite the ladies having very different levels of expertise in astrology she was able to make it engaging and interesting and educational for us all. Her approach is very conversational, individual and the classes just flew by. Her natal chart reading too was incredibly helpful to my journey and I walked out feeling very motivated. Apart from yoga and astrology, the girls had included numerous amazing activities to the retreat such as forest walks, meditative painting, sound healing, meditation, cacao ceremony and relaxing days at the pool. Also, the food was all vegetarian and absolutely delicious so my stomach was really grateful. Couldn’t recommend this retreat enough. It was the perfect mix of relaxation, learning and moving”

“The Equinox Astrology retreat was truly amazing, and I feel so privileged to have experienced it with a wonderful group of likeminded women. We’ve stayed in touch and supported each other even after the retreat ended, which has been a bonus. Everyone got so much out of it, even though we were all at different levels with our astrology knowledge. Honestly, there was no need to be an astrology buff beforehand - Katie is an incredible teacher. She delivered the classes in a way that resonated with all of us, regardless of our background. Katie’s teachings, along with the personal reading, gave me a deeper understanding of why I feel and act the way I do, which brought me a lot of reassurance, especially after a tough year. She’s sparked a thirst for more knowledge in me, and I’ll continue my learning. I’ve definitely gone down the astrology rabbit hole in a big way and can’t wait to explore more of her other classes and tuition! it all made for a truly magical experience. I can’t recommend this retreat enough for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of astrology (and themselves!)”
