Two days of guided movement, stillness & creativity

Welcome to ELEMENTA

Modern womanhood asks a lot of us. And while it is beautiful to live a full life - it is not the same as living life fully.

Elementa helps high-achieving women slow down and reconnect with their bodies & hearts through in-person retreats and online experiences & community. It’s also a space for mentorship, facilitator training, and bespoke retreat experiences that weave creativity, somatic tools, and depth into modern life.

We weren’t meant to do it all alone. And here, you won’t!

BYRON BAY, BLUEGREEN SANCTUARY | 19-22 FEBRUARY 2026

Byron Bay Women’s Retreat

Away from the noise and responsibilities of your everyday life, you’ll have space to remember who you truly are, and to rediscover what it feels like to create, to play, and to live in alignment with your deeper self.

You don’t have to have done yoga or know anyone.
This is a space for women who’ve spent their lives showing up for everyone else and are now ready to return to their own true essence.

“I truly have not enough words for the experience of the Elementa Retreat. I went in not knowing what to expect as I’d never done a retreat before. I left with such gratitude and connectedness that I didn’t even realise was possible. Connectedness to myself, nature, sisterhood and endless possibilities of improvement on the inner work. At the end of the retreat I felt so at peace with myself. It’s 3 days post retreat and I’m still floating! Anastasia facilitated such a beautiful experience from start to finish. If you’re ready to begin the work and connect with like minded women, I highly recommend to not walk but run to this retreat. Thank you thank you thank you!”

“I am overwhelmed by gratitude for the experience. There were so many special moments across the retreat, the healing for me was monumental. Many milestones & moments that I will cherish. Thank you for providing such a safe and sacred place for healing & self reflection. I still have a long way to go on my healing journey but I moved some big obstacles and that was because I felt safe in the space that you held for all of us.”

“What a beautiful weekend! Anastasia is a beautiful soul with gorgeous energy and so much care. She curated such a beautiful safe space for us to all share, laugh and connect. I had so much fun and will cherish this weekend forever. Definitely exceeded my expectations, so grateful”

“I recently attended Anastasia’s retreat, and it was nothing short of magical. From the very beginning, she made everyone feel so welcomed and comfortable. Her warmth and openness created an environment where I could truly relax and be myself.
The workshops she organized were incredible, each one was well thought out, engaging, and offered something meaningful. I walked away feeling inspired and with a deeper understanding of myself. But honestly, the best part was the incredible friendships I made. There was such a genuine sense of community, and I met so many amazing people that I know I’ll stay connected with after the retreat. Anastasia really knows how to bring people together and create an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!“
