Goddess Retreats launches a creative wellness retreat for women in Bali

Goddess Retreats has introduced the Creative Goddess Retreat in Seminyak and Ubud, adding hands-on arts, cultural immersion and slow living to its women-only wellness lineup. The seven-day program taps rising demand for screen-free experiences that support mental and emotional wellbeing.

Why it matters: - Goddess Retreats is expanding beyond yoga and spa-led wellness into creativity as a mental and emotional wellbeing practice. - The new program is aimed at women who want a screen-free reset and a more tactile, slower form of travel. - The retreat also reflects a broader return to hands-on arts and crafts as a response to digital fatigue.

What happened: - Goddess Retreats launched the Creative Goddess Retreat across its two Bali sanctuaries in Seminyak and Ubud. - The women-only program blends creative workshops, Balinese cultural immersion and daily wellness rituals. - Founder Chelsea Ross said the retreat builds on nearly 25 years of women’s wellness travel and responds to growing digital overload.

The details: - Each retreat lasts seven days and six nights and is all-inclusive. - Guests choose three signature creative experiences to personalize the itinerary. - Creative options include silversmithing, canvas painting with a Balinese master artist, mask carving, batik, pottery, dance and wheel-throwing. - A Canang Sari offering-making workshop anchors the program in Balinese daily ritual. - The retreat includes six nights in a luxury boutique villa in an all-female sanctuary. - The package includes 16 chef-prepared wellness meals built around farm-to-table and local Indonesian cuisine. - Daily yoga, meditation and breathwork are included for beginners. - The “Unlimited Spa Pampering” package includes daily treatments and massages, plus sauna and ice plunge contrast therapy. - Prices start at USD 2,095 per person in Seminyak shared rooms and USD 2,545 per person in Ubud shared rooms. - Bookings are open now year-round. - A photo folder is available for editors. - Goddess Retreats also listed social channels including Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and Pinterest.

Between the lines: - The program positions traditional crafts like textile arts, pottery and eco-creativity as a form of moving meditation. - Ross framed the retreat as a response to women’s desire to unplug from digital noise and reconnect with physical, real-world making. - The Bali setting is part of the product: the retreat leans on the island’s cultural traditions, where creativity is treated as part of everyday life rather than a separate profession.

What's next: - Goddess Retreats says the Creative Goddess Retreat is available year-round at both Seminyak and Ubud. - The company expects guests to leave with a handmade keepsake and a hobby they can continue at home. - The new offering joins Goddess Retreats’ wider women-only portfolio that already spans wellness, healing, longevity, surf, Pilates, fitness and padel.

The bottom line: - Goddess Retreats is betting that women’s wellness travel now includes creativity, culture and quiet time, not just exercise and spa treatments.
