Goddess Rising Retreat

An Isis Ka Initiation & Immersion

5th-11th September in Bali (near Ubud)

Includes two online calls prior, plus an integration call

Welcome to your devotional journey of Soul remembering, transformation, and integration…

The Goddess is Calling

Goddess Isis finds her daughters in every lifetime. Whether her name is stirring something within you for the very first time, or you’ve been working with her for many years - she is calling you deeper into your own Self now. Deeper into devotion, deeper into rest and radical self love. So that you may remember the power of your own Soul.

If you are:

  • Wanting to align more fully with your Soul Purpose & Divine Mission

  • Looking for a place where you can show up as authentically you, in all of your messy humanness

  • Feeling stressed, burnt out, or overwhelmed

  • Longing to remember who the fuck you are when you’re not giving your all to others

  • In need of deep rest, nourishment and receiving

  • Ready to connect to the Divine Feminine within and without

  • Craving true Sisterhood and meaningful friendships

  • Yearning to slow down, connect to Mama Earth, and immerse in ritual and ceremony

Then you’re in the right place.

Why & How

Despite thousands of years of suppression, oppression, persecution, and disrespect, the Feminine has never been crushed or erased. From the belly of Mother Earth, and deep within our bones, we can feel her rising, re-surging, roaring. The time for returning to justice, to balance, to wholeness - is NOW.

How can you honour and support this Goddess rising? By marching in the streets and campaigning in your community? Yes, if you feel so called. AND by returning to your own wholeness by honouring the wisdom of your body, healing your Sisterhood wounds, and engaging in the radical act of self love that is REST. The patriarchal system wants you overburdened, overwhelmed, stressed, and exhausted. Your frazzled nervous system leaves you disconnected from your own power, and your own sovereignty. It’s time to take your power back. To slow down enough to hear the whispers of your own soul. To lean into the support of other women around you. To remember that your worth is not based on what you do. You are worthy, just as you are. When we all remember that, the old order will crumble, and the world will be reborn.

Another symptom of our society is the Sisterhood Wound: the internalised disconnection and mistrust that can exist between women due to societal conditioning, patriarchy, and historical trauma. When women come together magic - and deep healing - happens. Held in a safe space, the walls come down, hearts open, trust is nurtured, and women discover (sometimes for the first time) what it truly means to find their soul sisters.

In the online calls you will journey in Circle with an intimate group of women to receive an Initiation into the lineage of Goddess Isis, via the Isis Ka modality (more on this below). The intention of this is to re-awaken you to our own Divine Self, and align you with your Soul Purpose (WHO you are), and your Divine Mission (HOW you’re here to serve). The Retreat Immersion allows time and space for this Initiation to integrate, as well as ample opportunity to nurture connection with your Sisters on the path. The Immersion is rich with sacred ritual and rest; inviting you to to release your grip on your masculine guards and endless to do lists, and drop into the wisdom and nectar of your feminine BEING. Allowing the Goddess to rise within.

“Rest is a radical act of self-love in a world that glorifies exhaustion”

Initiation

Your Initiation will take place across two online calls (replays will be available):

  • Tuesday 29th July 7pm AEST - Introduction to Goddess Isis & Isis Ka Frequency

  • Tuesday 5th August 7pm AEST - Soul Purpose Ka Activation

Immersion

5th-11th September 2025 in Bali, near Ubud

Your 6 night Immersion Retreat will take place at a stunning locally owned retreat Centre just north of Ubud, Bali. This space has been designed and built in a traditional style, in a way that complements and flows with the energy of the land that hold it. Nestled in pristine forest, with views of the mountains on the horizon, this is a sanctuary that will have you sighing a soul-deep sigh of relief - here is your space to rest.

Integration

There will also be an integration call online to support you landing back into your daily life:

  • Thursday 18th September 7pm AEST

Where & When

The Initiation

Your Initiation will take place across two online calls:

  • Tuesday 29th July 7pm AEST - Introduction to Goddess Isis & Isis Ka Frequency

  • Tuesday 5th August 7pm AEST - Soul Purpose Ka Activation

Your Initiation into the mysteries of Goddess Isis is delivered via the Isis Ka Modality. This modality Activates your Ka Body - the body of your soul - so that you can more easily embody your Higher Self here in this reality. This is a Feminine path to ascension: via descension - allowing our higher consciousness to descend into our physical body so that we are a living breathing embodiment of our Soul’s true light and power. It honours the fact that spirituality is not only an up-and-out practise; but also a journey in-and-down into the wisdom that lives in our wombs, in our bones, and in the Earth that our ancestors have walked before us.

In your first call on 29th July, you will receive teachings which honour Goddess Isis and her lineage that has emanated across thousands of years, and all around the globe. You will also receive an Isis Ka Frequency Transmission - a high vibrational Divine Feminine transmission, directly from Goddess Isis. This begins to attune your energy and prepare you for the activation that you will receive during your second call.

In your second call on 5th August, you will receive a Soul Purpose Activation using the Isis Ka Modality. During this process we will activate your Ka Template, which begins a remembering of the codes your Soul incarnated to bring through, as well as activating your Ka Levels I & II - which are related to your Soul Purpose & Divine Mission. If you are ready to invite the power of this activation in fully, it creates a profound shift in your life where anything out of alignment with WHO you truly are, and HOW you’re here to serve starts to feel uncomfortable, and eventually fall away. The key thing to understand here, is that your Soul Purpose is not about DOING, but about BEING - it’s about peeling away the layers and taking off the masks, so that you can embody the full expression of your authentic self joyfully, every single day.

This activation is followed by a 44 Day Integration Period - specifically timed to unfold during the Immersion retreat and beyond, culminating on 18th September with our Integration Call. Having taken many people through this activation already, and seeing how profound the shifts are, I can honestly say that the time in Bali will feel like it’s heaven sent! When life continues as normal while you’re going through a big shift, it can be hard to catch your breath! It can be hard to truly listen to the whispers of your own soul, and honour what you need. Taking time out to rest, and be held, and nourished - as well an engaging in conscious ritual and reflection, together with your Sisters on the path - offers you the opportunity to truly meet the Goddess Rising within you in a gentle and loving way. It allows you time to integrate and embody the lessons that are coming up for you. This is the Feminine way: not ticking off transformation like another thing on the to-do list, but slowing down enough to be present in the unfolding.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have already received your Ka Template & Level I & II Activations please let me know on your Application Form, and a Retreat-only discount can be arranged case-by-case.

The Immersion Retreat

5th - 11th September, near Ubud, Bali

This is your time to BE. To be with the parts of you that are shedding, and the parts of you that are remembering, rising, and becoming. This retreat is designed to be as restful or active as you like - with plentiful being time for you to lean into what you need each day.

We will begin every day with a devotional Feminine ritual, which will include a combination of movement (sometimes more like traditional yoga, other times more embodiment based - accessible to all levels), meditation, and other mysteries that will unfold. You will be nourished by exquisite plant-based breakfasts and dinners, and have ample time to luxuriate in the sweetness of doing nothing. Rejuvenate your body and soul as you bathe in the sacred waters of the natural spring, or enjoy the saltwater pool, ice bath, and sauna.

Select activities will be offered to enrich your experience, including the opportunity to craft your own Silver Isis Talisman. Options to immerse yourself in Balinese culture with a cooking class and Offerings workshop will be available for you if you desire.

Each evening we will gather to enjoy a restorative practice designed to deeply nurture your nervous system, assist you integrating your Activation, and help you drop deeper into your Divine feminine nature. On the evening of the 8th September, in honour of the Blood Moon Eclipse, we will have a very special Ceremony where we will journey with the celestial energies that we are being gifted during our retreat.

On the final evening we will enjoy a celebratory dinner together at Zest restaurant in Ubud, which is where Isis told me that I must hold this retreat (I will tell this story on our first call!). By this time, you will have a whole bunch of new best friends who GET you (retreat friends are for life, and I speak from experience!).

Cultural Considerations & Giving Back

I believe that to awaken to Oneness, we must also awaken to our privilege. It is my intention to approach this retreat with cultural sensitivity, with the spirit of acknowledgement, honouring, and giving back. Here are some ways we are doing that:

  • Goddess Isis does not have a traditional link to Indonesia, and just as I honour her, I wish to honour and acknowledge the Hindu and Buddhist religions which enrich Bali with its unique cultural and spiritual significance. I will weave this honouring throughout the retreat and associated rituals

  • The retreat centre is locally, and family, owned -with our investment staying within the community

  • The retreat centre sources locally grown, mostly organic, food - supporting the health of the land and soil

  • We will participate in cultural immersion with local women sharing their art of making traditional Offerings

  • We will support local artisans through our activities

  • 10% of the profits will be donated to the Bumi Sehat Foundation (“Healthy Mother Earth Foundation”), which operates three Community Health, Education & Childbirth Centers in Indonesia:

“At our clinics, we offer a comprehensive range of allopathic and holistic medicine, as well as pre and post-natal care, breastfeeding support, infant, child and family health services, nutritional education, pre-natal yoga and gentle, loving natural birth services.

Each baby’s capacity to love and trust is built at birth and in the first two hours of life. By protecting pregnancy, birth, postpartum and breastfeeding, we are advocating for optimal humanity, health, intelligence and consciousness.”

Luxuriate in an abundance of being time to enjoy as you wish. Find a quiet spot with your book, take a nap, or make use of the magnesium pool, sauna and ice bath. Isis is the Goddess of water and loves it when we immerse as a way to connect with her, and integrate her energies.

Meet your Facilitator

My name is Joanna Tolley. I once heard that Tolley means “Gatekeeper”, and that resonates with me so strongly as I believe that I am here to help you open up the gate, or the doorway, for you to walk the path of your soul’s highest expression in this lifetime. As a child I was very sensitive and intuitive, and obsessed with all things crystals and magick. I would have extremely vivid dreams which I now recognise as past-life rememberings. At some point I developed intense night terrors which were unexplainable by western medicine, but completely ceased after my Mom took me to see an energy healer. I am so grateful to my Mom for being open enough to take that path. The woman I saw said to me after the session “you are going to be a healer”. I didn’t think any of it at the time, but now I think about it often. I recognise that same energy in others, and believe that it is my role to support lightworkers stepping into their full power and positively impacting humanity. For a while, I got lost on my path, but thankfully around 2016-2018 I began to find my way back - diving deep into my own healing journey and training as a Yoga Teacher, a Reiki Master, and being initiated by Athina Krol as an Isis Priestess. My calling and devotion to serving the Divine Feminine is strong, and weaves through everything that I do. It is my belief that when we heal the distorted Feminine templates on this planet - and heal and integrate the feminine and masculine energies within us - a great healing and shift in consciousness will occur. Through the Isis Ka modality, I am able to be a conduit for such healing to occur, and for that I am eternally grateful.

What are people saying?

  • Joanna is amazing at what she does and connects me back to myself time and time again! I always feel so seen, heard, and understood by her. Through the Activations I got a chance to attune my Isis Ka frequency which I feel honoured to have done! It’s allowed me find my purpose, show up as my authentic self and be so comfortable being unapologetically myself in all settings. Reconnecting with Goddess Isis has just felt like being at home.

    Tara Cooney

  • Joanna’s Isis Ka Activations have assisted me in navigating and attuning my energy so I could protect, harness and control my energy/power. Thank you Joanna, and goddess Isis for this journey, it was beautiful and empowering.

    Kristie Steers

  • The connection with an intimate group of like-minded souls was really beautiful. The Activations cleared away all that was preventing me from stepping into full alignment with my soul's offerings and helped me to reclaim forgotten parts of myself. After a long period of self-doubt and hiding my gifts, I began to realise that stepping into my unique and divine feminine power is not egotistical but is in fact, the most selfless act of service in this troubled world. I would recommend anyone on an awakening path seeking to go deeper, to embark on this journey.
