The BALI Goddess Brain® Retreat:
Re-Ignite Your Sacred Feminine Fire
Activate Your Goddess Brain
Reclaim Your Inner Bliss
A Medicine of Flow Retreat for Women where Modern Neuroscience Meets Ancient Wisdom — and You Meet Yourself Again.
Weaving Yoga, Dance, Flow Arts, Fire Dance Ritual, Sound Healing, Astrology, Somatic Healing, Wisdom Circles, and Goddess Brain® Teachings.
May 15 - 22, 2027
The Goddess Brain® Retreat (evolved from a decade of "Beauty That Transforms") is a gathering of women ready to awaken the fire within, and carry it back out into the world. Led by a neuroscientist and held by a circle of women, you'll remember how to dance, play, pray, and come alive in whole new ways.
The old story said your femininity was a liability. The truth: you carry cosmic intelligence in your very wiring — heart, womb, and earth, built not just to nurture, but to lead.
Whatever isn't working in your life right now — or whatever is working almost too well — there's a woman underneath it asking to be nurtured, seen, and honored. Maybe you're exhausted, doing everything "right" and still feeling disconnected from your own power. Or maybe the opposite: you have the success, the life you dreamed of — and somewhere in building it, you lost touch with what it means to actually feel like a woman, fully alive and aligned. Either way, it's the same root cause: yang overriding yin, the doing overriding the feeling, the push overriding the flow — in the culture and in you.
Restore that balance at the root, and the rest resolves on its own — not as a flaw fixed, but as a woman remembered.
You've tried — the yoga, the journaling, the podcasts, courses sold on Instagram. Only so much could fully stick, because this isn't something you cultivate alone. As Andrew Harvey wrote:
"The future of the world depends on the full restoration of the sacred feminine in all its tenderness, passion, divine ferocity, and surrendered persistence."
That restoration doesn't happen in isolation. It happens when women gather, witness each other, and remember together what none of us can fully remember alone.
This retreat is where it becomes embodied. Eight days, in community — movement, dance, nature, ritual, play, pleasure — bringing sacred feminine and sacred masculine back into harmony, in your body, witnessed.
“The future of the world depends on the full restoration of the sacred feminine in all its tenderness, passion, divine ferocity, and surrendered persistence.”
— ANDREW HARVEY
Set in Bali, the Island of the Gods and Goddesses — long considered a mecca of yoga, art, and spirituality — this 8-day/7-night journey is your invitation to live the teachings, not just learn them.
You'll reawaken your feminine fire within the heart of Pele's sister, her fiery pulse igniting one of the most active volcanic wombs on Earth — a real, felt connection between Hawai'i and Bali that we'll breathe and honor on this journey. And where fire ignites, water cleanses: in a sacred melukat purification ceremony at one of Bali's holy water temples, you'll let the current wash away what no longer serves you, emerging washed clean of what you came here to release.
Within every woman lives both fierce expression and sacred stillness, and this retreat holds space for both. You'll dance beneath the full moon in ceremony and take the stage on Soul Expression Night to shine however moves you — voice, movement, or whatever wants to come through.
Hosted by NaiAsa Institute, held and guided by Dr. Jinju Dasalla — neuroscientist, author of The Goddess Brain®, and creator of NeuroSomatic Flow® — and a team of facilitators and healers who bring their own gifts to this circle (see below).

How We’ll Move to Remember, Rewire, and Reclaim:
The NaiAsana Yoga Goddess Namaskars
Dance as Medicine. Movement as Prayer. Flow as Transformation.
NaiAsana Yoga™ is a practice for women to come home to their true goddess nature and activate the power of their Goddess Brain®. Each Namaskar weaves breath, vinyasa, dance, NeuroSomatic Flow® patterns, and divine feminine mythology into one unified journey of awakening — a prayerformance: prayer and performance as one act, movement offered as devotion.
On this journey, you'll move through several Namaskars, including Pele, Gaia, and Kuan Yin Namaskar — each one awakening a different ancient aspect of ourselves that has atrophied over time, danced fully alive again as offering. (see videos)
To help you arrive ready, every participant receives complimentary access to the online Pele Namaskar vision activation class, so your practice can begin long before you land in Bali.
Restoration doesn't happen in isolation.
It happens when women gather, witness each other, and remember together what none of us can fully remember alone.
THE FIRE
ARE YOU READY TO BE DANCED BY THAT INNER FLAME?
You'll meet the Fire gently, at first — a place to bring your heart's deepest desires and unspoken prayers. Then, on the night of the full moon, those prayers become a collective ceremonial dance: fire, and the community of women around you, holding the space as you dance your intentions into being. See video.
“FLOW” is not just a state of mind, it’s a way of being, the way of the Elements. Flow is the spiral dance of the Cosmos. Flow is not something we have to train hard to achieve. Flow is what simply happens when we LET GO and dissolve into the nature of who and what we are.
THE FLOW
TAT TVAM ASI, SAY THE SCRIPTURES, “YOU ARE THAT.
YOU ARE THAT DIVINE LIGHT DANCING AND PLAYING WITH ITSELF,
ALWAYS MOLDING, ALWAYS SEEKING SHAPE, FORM, AND EXPRESSION.”
The Goddess Brain® retreat is where the Medicine and Magic of Flow come fully alive, and so do we.
Embody the true nature of your feminine flow as you explore circular movement in the body and become intimate with the Spiral — an ancient symbol for the goddess, the womb, and fertility, found in dance traditions the world over. This retreat moves through it in many forms:
* Flow arts — where creative play in the dance with flow props such as poi, hoop, and fans
* Flamenco — fire, precision, and fierce feminine expression
* Polynesian dance — island-inspired rhythm and ancestral movement
* Balinese dance - devotion told through gesture, eyes, and hands
* NeuroSomatic Flow® — a neural re-wiring methodology designed for the whole person (see below)
* Ecstatic Dance - where structure falls away and you dance free
Let your inner child, fire, and goddess, come alive as each form invites its own playful, embodied expression of the goddess.
NeuroSomatic Flow®
NeuroSomatic Flow® (NSF) is a neural-rewiring methodology created by Dr. Jinju Dasalla that honors the whole human. It's where the neuroscience of transformation meets the wisdom of the body to rapidly rewire and unlock Flow.
NSF is both a healing and coaching modality that supports the release of limiting patterns, rewiring of the nervous system, and unlocking of flow—to reclaim what's missing.
The practice is rooted in this principle: When the body learns to intentionally move in a new way, the brain rewires itself to perceive in new ways ... all while simultaneously releasing old trauma and stories that no longer serve.
(Because there’s only one dedicated session focused on NSF in the Goddess Brain retreat, if you’re feeling called to go deeper, SAVE THE DATES May 31 - Jun 1 for a tentative, LIVE, in person NSF training immersion for all levels.)

Dr. Katy works with people who feel like they've reached a turning point — when the life they've built no longer feels like a true reflection of who they are.
Her work is rooted in Sanskrit, world religions, and the Vedic tradition of India. She practices Vedic astrology, not as prediction, but as a way to understand your emotional nature, your patterns, and the deeper timing of your life — especially during moments of transition.
She holds a PhD in religious studies from the University of California, Santa Barbara and has spent decades studying and living these traditions in the Himalayas of India, but what matters most to her clients is this: they finally feel seen, understood, and clear about their next step.
At the retreat, she'll share Jyotisha and Divine Feminine Tantric teachings.
