Intention
The Reclamation of Power: A Journey Home to Yourself Retreat
I invite you to join me in Bali for a journey of reconnection, reclamation, and coming home to yourself. A space to slow down, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and reclaim the parts of yourself that may have been suppressed along the way.
They call Bali the washing machine. You may not leave squeaky clean, but I promise you'll leave with a different shine.
Mama Bali has a way of taking you through some unexpected turns, shaking things loose and bringing to the surface outdated patterns, emotions, and things you may not even realize you're carrying.
But this journey isn't just about what you leave behind. It's about what you choose to bring forward.
It's about finding the courage to honor what you discover within yourself, trust your own voice, and make choices that reflect the person you're becoming because coming home to yourself also means learning not to abandon yourself when you return to everyday life.
Having made this journey on my own, I know how much it can move you. This time, I'd love to share the experience with six women.
An invitation to reconnect with yourself, reclaim your power, and begin living from that place.
You'll experience a thoughtfully curated blend of practices, ceremonies, and cultural experiences designed to help your journey of reconnection, reclamation, and coming home to yourself.

Timing
My energy was called to create this retreat May 9–16, during a week of meaningful astrological activity. Right between a New Moon + Full Moon.
It’s called the first This lunar phase represents a time of action, courage, creative expression, and forward movement. As we move through the week, the planetary energies invite us to explore our relationship with self-worth, challenge familiar perspectives, and find the courage to express more of who we are.
It's an invitation to turn awareness into action and ask ourselves:
Where am I being called to be more visible, courageous, and fully expressed?
The Land: Ubud,Bali
Our journey will bring us to Ubud, Bali, a place where the natural world and spiritual life are deeply intertwined.
There is a distinct rhythm to this land. From the lush rice terraces and tropical forests to the daily offerings, ancient temples, and traditions woven into everyday life, Ubud invites us to slow down and become more present.
Bali carries a beautiful relationship with devotion, nature, and the unseen. There is something special about being immersed in a place where spirituality is not simply practiced, but expressed through the rhythms of daily living.
We will allow the land to be part of our experience, making space to listen, soften, reconnect, and remember what becomes possible when we step outside the familiar.

Stories that Make Us Smile
More than anything, my prayer for us is this:
May we break the illusion that we are alone in our hearts, our minds, and our efforts.
May we remember that no season defines us, and that even the moments that feel like unraveling are part of our unfolding. Every experience has a place in the greater story of who we are becoming.
May we hold trust closer than fear, and remember that even when the path feels uncertain, we are never without ourselves.
Calling in women who are ready to return to deeper self-love, find clarity, experience genuine connection, and give themselves the space to truly rest.

Your Host
Hi, I am Alejandra Hernandez. Expand For light is my North Star.
I'm from Chicago, and over the past several years, I've dedicated myself to studying energy, healing, and the many ways we can reconnect with ourselves.
My journey has taken me to India and Bali, where I've studied and deepened my practice in yoga, meditation, sound healing, and energy work. I'm a certified yoga and meditation instructor, sound healer, and Grand Master Reiki Channel, Level 5. I've also explored Healing Touch and craniosacral therapy, continuing to expand my understanding of the relationship between energy, the body, and our overall well-being.
While each practice has shaped me, energy work is where my heart truly lives.
I guide people in becoming more aware of the patterns, beliefs, and energies they may have outgrown, releasing what no longer serves them, and making space for more light, joy, and clarity.
This retreat is an expression of the practices, experiences, and wisdom I've gathered along my own journey. Having spent time returning to Bali over the past few years, it feels especially meaningful to bring this experience to a place that has taught me so much.
I'm looking forward to sharing this experience with you.
