8 Days of Lush Soul Sanctuary for Your Becoming

Step Beyond the Threshold to Create the Life that's Calling You

A sacred pause to reset, reimagine, and reclaim—

You're finally ready for your next chapter. You don’t need to burn everything down or run away for a year to rewrite it—you just need space to listen.

This retreat was the perfect blend of structured guidance, social time, and solitude– always with the independence to do whatever I wanted anyway.

I am a different person coming home, genuinely. Deep energetic shifts gained in the jungle have made me and my 'real life' come alive in the best of ways. The "Creation" I came home with was actually ME, and now as this leveled-up version of myself I am itching to serve and create from a surprisingly new & expansive place. I knew that I would be different on the other side of Bali, but wow - I had no idea just how much. Never the same. <3

You didn’t come here to make your dreams fit neatly inside errands, emails, and obligations. You came here to create something bigger.

You know how you’ve worked so hard to be responsible and do everything right? Maybe you got married, tried to be a good mom, got a good, supportive job, helped people, tried to be a good friend, but you wonder if you’ll end up regretting that you resigned yourself to smallness and support instead of found out what you were capable of?

You know how you want to create a new template of how to be a good mother, wife, daughter, partner WHILE also prioritizing your own full unfurling, but your current life feels too habitual, expected, and busy?

You know how you’re ready to create something real—something big enough to buy the land, take the trip, claim your financial sovereignty (or at least make a meaningful contribution)—but you never seem to have the time, energy, or space to make it happen?

You know how you crave freedom, expansion, and a sense of wild possibility, but when you finally get a spare hour, all you want to do is collapse and recover from everything you’ve been holding together?

You know how you can feel another possibility calling you forward, but clarity never seems to come, and the next right step always feels just out of reach?

I hate to break it to you, but a vision as big as yours isn’t going to come to life in the cracks of your schedule or through another round of podcasts and Pinterest boards. It needs space. It needs devotion. It needs you to step fully in.

And if you’re not surrounding yourself with people who are actually doing the thing you want to do, your brain will keep you circling—convincing you to stay busy, stay stuck, and stay safe.

So how do you make the bold, dream-making moves that actually change your life—without burning everything down in the process?

ESPECIALLY when you don’t have the whole plan, don’t know exactly what’s been holding you back, and can’t figure out why you haven’t just done it already?

You can have it all. Not by becoming someone new, but by remembering who you’ve always been.

Not through more striving or pushing, but by stepping into the clarity, support, and space that allow your next chapter to unfold.

Everything you need is already within you. Are you ready to claim it?

  • Away from the people who only know past versions of you—the ones who, even with the best intentions, can’t hold the full weight of your vision.

  • Co-regulating and expanding with women who are actually doing it—bringing audacious dreams to life, making bold moves, and stepping beyond the threshold.

  • Disrupted from the patterns and habits that keep you circling instead of moving.

  • Held in beauty, nature, and deep rest—reigniting desires you’ve buried and restoring the creative fire you thought you lost.

  • Expertly guided through workshops and individual sessions—uncovering your deepest genius, refining your desires, and amplifying your voice.

  • Body-doubling in stunning spaces, so you actually create—writing, sourcing, making, marketing—instead of just planning and talking about it.

There are plenty of online programs and pristinely held Zoom rooms—but nothing compares to the tectonic shifts that happen when you step fully outside the life you’ve been managing and into the life you’re meant to create.

The kind of evolution that happens when you’re…



This isn’t just a retreat—it’s a line in the sand. Step in and create what’s next.

With some space and a totally new environment, you could actually breathe again. Feel joy in your body. Rekindle your sense of awe. And finally make big, tangible progress on the next big thing calling you forward.

You probably have fantasies about escaping, just for awhile.

But instead, that idea stays a pipe dream. You come back from family vacations more exhausted than before. Any time you do get to yourself is spent scrolling, reading, or watching—too depleted to even begin making the thing real.

Maybe it always felt impractical. Maybe you never got around to planning something for yourself.

Or maybe you’ve seen yoga retreats, business intensives, or masterminds—but nothing that blends deep restoration, intimate support, and real creative momentum the way you know you need.

this is exactly why i created

THE CREATION RETREAT

Hi, I'm Cristy Duce

GUIDE ON THE PATH, TEACHER, DESIGNER, BUSINESS BUILDER, WRITER, AND MULTI-HYPHENATE CREATRESS

I’m living proof that you don’t create something new by staying in the same cycles.

Every major shift in my life has started with leaving—not as an escape, but as an intentional act of stepping into something bigger. From Australia to learn how to be brave, to Southeast Asia to metabolize heartbreak, to the Amazon, Bali, and beyond to reclaim my body and my voice—each journey shaped me. Each one brought me back to a deeper truth:


You don’t have to burn everything down to create what’s next. But you do have to stop trying to fit your dreams into the edges of your life.

I created The Creation Retreat for the woman who feels another possibility calling her forward—who knows she’s meant for more but hasn’t had the time, space, or clarity to fully step in.

If you’re ready to stop circling and start creating, I’ll meet you in Bali.

WHO IT'S FOR:

Who It's Not For:

🌿 The woman who feels a quiet knowing that something more is calling—but hasn’t had the space to hear what it’s saying.

🔥 The secret badass who’s been the backbone for everyone else’s dreams—ready to finally claim her own.

💡 The creators, writers, artists, and visionaries—who long to reconnect with the work that sets them on fire.

🌊 The entrepreneur at any stage—who wants to create with more alignment, more impact, and more ease.

✨ The wisdom keepers and teachers—who have spent years building, cheering, and supporting, and now long to be held in return.

🌍 The dreamer on the edge of something big—who knows deep down that with the right space, the right guide, and the right moment, she will finally step into what’s next.

🌅 The wild soul who has felt herself dim—ready to reignite her full aliveness and move toward what she truly desires.


❌ Those who aren’t willing to show up fully—this retreat thrives on the energy of shared wisdom, connection, and generosity.

❌ Those who resist inner work, deep reflection, and expansion—meditation, ritual, and inquiry are part of the transformation.

❌ Those seeking only relaxation and a getaway—yes, we’ll rest and restore, but we’re also here to create, shift, and move toward what’s next.


ELEMENTS

OF THE CREATION RETREAT

Ether

Air

Fire

Water

Earth

Opening the unseen. You’re not creating alone—purpose wants to meet you, creation wants to move through you.

Vision into form. Strategic workshopping, planning for support, harvesting insights from past and future possibilities.

Burn through what’s stuck. Movement, unshackling, unlocking your body as a vessel of power and creation.

Let it flow. Purification, release, and surrendering into the cosmic current that’s been waiting to hold you.

Anchor into reality. Grounding in your body, stabilizing your vision, bridging somatics and strategy to cross the threshold.

How:

Creation isn’t born from exhaustion. It needs energy, vitality, life moving through you. You’ve spent so much time holding things together for everyone else—this is where we stoke the fire again.

Infinity pool, daily movement, a Balinese massage, sacred land, waterfalls, ceremonies, sound healing, exquisite food you don’t have to cook. Every detail is designed to bring you back to your aliveness.

Because when your body is nourished, your senses reignited, and your spirit rested, creation flows.

Restore Your Life Force:

You’re not lacking ideas—you’re overflowing with them. The question isn’t what you’re meant to do, but how to move forward in a way that honors your gifts, your rhythm, and your deepest truth.

Through group workshops, guided journeys, ritual, personalized support, novelty and exploration, and deep conversation, you’ll have space to reconnect with what’s been calling you forward and begin shaping it into reality.

Whether you’re refining a vision, shifting into a new chapter, or bringing a creation to life, you’ll leave with clarity and direction—without force or over-planning.

Soul Strategy & Creative Expansion

You’ve been trying to do this alone—in stolen moments, in the margins of your day, at your desk, in your car.

Here, you don’t have to push through in isolation. Call it co-working, body doubling, or harnessing the communal creative field—this is a space where progress and momentum are inevitable.

Through focus, prioritization, accountability, and community, you’ll collapse the timeline of trying into a week of powerful, embodied action.

Create With Community

At home, it’s easy to convince yourself you’re almost ready. That you just need a little more time, a little more clarity, a little more space.

Here? We’re not waiting. We’re stepping in.

With shared energy, deep presence, and the kind of support that won’t let you shrink back into old patterns, this retreat is a portal—a rupture in the old way of being, an opening into what’s next.


You Can’t Hide Here—And That’s the Best Part

This is where the circling stops. This is where you move.

THE VENUE:

Amori Luxury Villa

From the moment you arrive, Amori Villa isn’t just a place you stay—it’s a place that holds you.

Nestled in the lush jungle of Ubud, this private, luxury retreat space is where deep rest meets exquisite care. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to wrap you in beauty, nourishment, and ease.

✨ An infinity pool overlooking the jungle. The kind of view that reminds you how expansive life can be.
✨ Daily gourmet meals—delicious, balanced, and artfully prepared. Every bite is a celebration of nourishment.
✨ Room preparation and turn-down service that feels like a ritual. Your space is cared for as tenderly as you are.
✨ A staff that knows your name and makes you feel like family. Attentive, warm, anticipating your needs before you even realize them.
✨ The perfect balance of elegance and comfort. Luxurious, yet deeply welcoming. Refined, yet intimate.

At Amori Villa, all the details are handled—from airport pickup to dietary restriction—so you can focus fully on your transformation.

This is the level of care and support you are stepping into.

Questions

FREQUENTLY ASKED

what if I don't know exactly what I'm creating?

All of your indecision, your imposter syndrome, your lack of clarity is welcome here. One of my greatest gifts is distilling your genius and desires and also identifying what's holding you back from creating what you want. This retreat is for Creation and Creators. If you have the desire to be there, you already qualify and there will be ample opportunity for individual and group work to hone in on what is the NEXT THING for you and how your soul most want to put it forth in the world. If you still don't know if you fit, I recommend sending me a DM or booking a Catalyst call and we'll decide together. 

I'm not sure how much progress I can really make in a week?

Just imagine one week of feeling rest and held and enlivened by all your senses. Imagine someone identifying and helping to shift your blind spots and remove all the ways you're making it slower and harder than it has to be. Imagine feeling nourished and relaxed and invigorated by movement and without a single thing to take care of or anybody else to make a sandwich for. Imagine being in dedicated space with other women conjuring their dreams to life next to you. Imagine having someone to help in the exact moment where you get stuck or confused. Now think about that question again ;)

I don't know if i can afford it...

This retreat will not be for everyone. Due to the hard costs of a travel, in-person event, there is little room for scholarships and sliding scale. There may be more Creation retreats at lower price points; I don't know. In some cases, custom payment plans may be available upon request. HOWEVER, this is what I do know: Intentional pilgrimage, travel, retreating and incubating has been the single thing I can identify to have paid the highest dividends in my life. I do not know for sure what that will be for you, but I do know committing, devoting, moving at this level gives you and your creation the best chance to become who you were always meant to be.

how do i know you can help me with my creation?

Even though I have experience supporting and guiding business owners from beginning entrepreneurs to those earning five and six figures to even working behind the scenes in seven-figure businesses, as well as teaching writing at a post-secondary level, the through line of my work is helping you excavate YOUR unique path, genius, deepest work, fullest expression, and most easeful path forward. I have done it for many others before you, and I have receipts ;)

Your vision and the soulful creation of your LIFE deserves to be truly held–together, in flesh and bone and beating hearts. I think we might even be able to do it best in the nourishing heart of Mama Gaia, the sacred land of Ubud, Bali. This lush, tranquil, and beautifully-honored place cradled me in perhaps the most important shedding and re-invention of my life. I wish the same for you.
