Yin Love Within
Winter Retreat
3-6 July
Ravens Nest, Venus Bay VIC
Winter is the season of descent.
Within the heart of winter, lays the seed of summer.
Yet, in our summer crazed culture, we often miss the magic winter is longing to lay before us.
On this Self Love Legacy retreat we will focus on descending into the inner world. Connecting with the deeper layers of your heart and creating a solid foundation of self love so that you can stop playing small and claim the full spectrum of your epic individuality.
Winter is more than just a season, it’s a time of descent, of introspection, of inner growth. In a culture obsessed with the frenzy of summer, we often overlook the profound magic that winter has to offer.
This retreat is your opportunity to pause, to listen to the whispers of your soul, connecting with the sacred rhythms of the season and the rhythms of your own cycle. Discovering how connected to nature and the moon we are as women and exploring this more through the wisdom of the medicine wheel and the four directions.
Embrace your Darkness, Awaken your most radiant Light

Imagine dropping your masks and showing up as your authentic self, feeling deeply seen in your vulnerability, and cultivating a lasting sense of compassion and self-love that transforms your life.

This Retreat is For You If:
→ You feel disconnected from your body, neglecting self-care and discipline, you long to nourish and embrace your body with love and devotion.
→ You’re out of sync with your feminine cycle and struggle to care for yourself, you want to honour your body through food, movement, and rituals.
→ Your emotions overwhelm you—whether turbulent or suppressed—you desire emotional freedom, balance, and flow.
→ You don’t feel safe in your body or life, held back by fear, you want the confidence to make aligned choices that serve your heart.
→ You struggle to speak your truth, set boundaries, and own your voice, you want the confidence to express yourself unapologetically.
→ You feel disconnected from your sexuality and pleasure, you’re ready to awaken to joy, sensuality, and intimacy with yourself.
→ You long to embody your inner witch, Goddess, Queen or non-binary power and reconnect with your sensual, powerful, and authentic self.
→ You’re drawn to feminine mysteries, Tantra, and Taoism and want to explore spirituality as a path to self-love and embodiment.
→ You’re tired of feeling alone on your path and long for sacred rituals, routines, and a spiritual connection to guide your growth.
“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”

Meet your facilitators
Chloe Adriana - Retreat Host and Facilitator
Chloe Adriana (she/her), known as The Pussy Queen, is a multifaceted professional blending the realms of somatic sexology, self-love coaching, and ceremonial facilitation. Drawing from a diverse background ranging from professional fairy to dedicated teacher,
In the darkest time of her life, when it felt like everything was falling apart. Her soul called out to me to go inwards, to hibernate and heal.
Following that call that led her to the North of Sweden.
In the many hours of darkness she began to learn to listen to my body's need for deep rest, having spent my life chasing the sun, chasing parties, chasing men.
She finally stopped, stilled and began to listen to the wisdom within.
Chloe’s believe our culture's avoidant relationship with winter has a lot to do with our avoidant relationship with the dark parts of our psyche.
Through the Winter Witches retreat it Chloe’s intention to teach participants harness their dark by working with the medicine of yin, practising ritual, magic and pleasure in order to fully nourish our beings.
So that when spring comes we can truly rise.
Vera - Retreat Host and Yoga teacher
Vera is a Traditional Yoga Teacher and Healer who provides a safe and loving space that allows you to be fully in your heart and listen to what it wants to share with you.
From a young age she had the feeling that the universe had something else in mind for her. It still took her many years to finally admit to herself that she couldn't live the life she was living. Until she reached the point that her fire slowly burned out, and she fell very deep.
She sees now that she needed to fall so far in order to wake up, to go through the dark to be able to see the light again. She started travelling and discovered other ways of living that sparked her heart. When yoga came on her path, it changed her life and yoga became her daily practice, and way of living.
Vera loves bringing community together at the Good Vibes Studio in Bermagui where she holds a space for facilitators to offer their gifts and shares her own love for Traditional Hatha Yoga. She also pours her love into organising the Vibration of the Heart Retreats at Tilba and the Bali Pilgrimage.
Her intention for Self Love Legacy is to take you into your heart, the depths of your being and explore your inner world. Reconnecting with your wholeness, knowing that you are perfect just as you are, that nothing has to be changed. Being present with everything we do and living in a deeper state of awareness.
