She’s the Co-Founder and Former Co-Director of The Wedding and Celebrant Societies, A Journalist, Executive Producer, Former Events and Marketing Manager and a seasoned Celebrant, Podcaster and luckily the mother of three daughters.... Mostly she's excited about more meaningful chats around some well-earned cocktail (or two) with retreat attendees.
Sarah is also one half of The Work Wives along with Johanna Kate, who for many years have experience working together (as work wives!) to deliver real, impactful and positive change in the lives of others. Their passion is in helping women and professionals to re-spark their joy and set their soul on fire.
Sarah’s experience successfully producing high profile media personalities and Anna’s leadership roles in the healthcare field mean that they deliver the perfect mix of facts and feels to help you feel joy, peace and a renewed sense of motivation. With a massive dose of fun and belly laughs, their superpower is in connecting people to others and back to themselves.
Together, they have made impactful change to personal lives and entire industry cultures from a community to a government level. This year Sarah is running solo as Anna brings another beautiful baby boy into her family.
Details of this retreat
If you’re ready for a getaway that’s equal parts inspiration, relaxation, and laughing ‘til you cry, this is your sign to pack your bags. Bali is calling, and so is your next breakthrough (or at least a really good poolside margarita)!
This is not your average hippie-dippy retreat!! Well…. it’s a LITTLE bit hippie-dippy… but is it “woo-woo up the wazoo”? Not quite.
Let’s call it Spring Break for f***ing tired women who just want to sit down in peace without worrying about emails, or dinner, or an existential crisis. Just kidding. There’s a little learning, a little growth, and a lot of fun. Business in front, naps in the back, if you will. (The business is optional, the naps are not).
Really, it’s the ultimate retreat for women who need to escape from the chaos for a moment so they can stop, breathe, and do all the “re-“s… Relax, reset, rejuvenate, release, recover, re-evaluate, reinvest, remember, and reclaim. It’s a retreat like nothing else you’ve seen in Bali – a unique approach we call “Choose Your Own Adventure” that blends proven fascinating evidence and targeted life analysis to actually gets you reaching the goals you set for yourself… with a side of meditation and cocktails by the pool.
If you want to find some joy, get infused with motivation, or simply be kinder to yourself, this event is it. Immerse yourself in a 4-day, 3-night, soul quenching Retreat at an eco-luxury resort in the heart of Indonesia. Escape from the daily grind and dive into unique workshops, self care activities, connections with likeminded people and experiences that will set your soul on fire.
This retreat is for any female identifying person who needs the space and time to breathe and learn. Bring a bestie, your Work Wife, or run solo to meet other amazing humans that you can connect with and learn from.
This year the retreat will be hosted by Sarah May Alexander from The Work Wives, who is so excited to be back at this glorious location hosting her 7th Bali Retreat!
