Rise in the Fire is more than a retreat — it is a sacred reclamation of voice, body, and belonging. Over three transformative days, women gather on the ancestral lands of the Murray River to reconnect with the wisdom of the earth and the truth within themselves. Here, surrounded by river gum, red earth, and ancient stories, we return to rhythm, ritual, and remembrance.
Through Aboriginal-led cleansing ceremonies, storytelling circles, creative workshops, and the power of fire, participants are guided to release what no longer serves and to rise in renewal. This experience honours both cultural reverence and personal healing — a bridge between modern womanhood and ancient ways of knowing.
Each moment is crafted to help you listen deeply: to the land beneath your feet, to the pulse of your own spirit, and to the voices of sisters walking beside you. Together we create art, share truth, dance, and burn away the old, emerging clearer, stronger, and more whole.
Guided by Lisa Jimenez, founder of SheIsMe Global, and Holly Hayes, SheIsMe Australia facilitator and founder of It’s Holly Hayes, Rise in the Fire is a journey of transformation, creativity, and collective healing. It is a homecoming — to sisterhood, to spirit, and to the untamed power that lives within every woman.
Because this isn’t just another retreat — it’s a reclamation.
At Rise in the Fire, you are not escaping your life; you are stepping into your power. Every ceremony, circle, and creative moment is designed to help you release what no longer serves you and remember who you truly are.
Here, you will:
Reconnect with the land through Aboriginal-led rituals and grounded ceremony.
Reclaim your voice through storytelling, art, and sisterhood.
Renew your energy with movement, nature, and sacred stillness.
Rise in community, surrounded by women who see you, hear you, and lift you higher.
This is where transformation becomes tangible — and where you’ll return home lighter, stronger, and forever changed.
