Rise in the Fire Retreat 24–26 April 2026 | Moama on the Murray, NSW

A sacred three-day gathering on the ancestral lands of the Murray River, Echuca/Moama, where women return to rhythm, ritual, and remembrance.
Here, surrounded by river gums and red earth, you’ll reconnect to the wisdom of the land and the truth within yourself.
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.
“Each woman arrives carrying her story. Together, we burn away the old and rise clearer, stronger, and more whole.” Lisa Jimenez, founder of SheIsMe Global
