Alchemist - Retreat

Alchemist Retreat: Transform Stress into Freedom

17 - 21 June 2026 | Sunshine Coast, Qld (venue TBC)

Imagine…

… waking up clear, calm, and free - no tight chest, no looping thoughts, no pretending you’re okay.
… finally breaking the cycle of stress that sleep, holidays, and “self-care hacks” never touch.
… coming home to yourself with more energy, peace, and joy than you’ve felt in years.

This retreat isn’t about escape. It’s about creating a life where you no longer need one.

Why Alchemist?

Other retreats give you yoga, meditation, or mindset tips - and hope something sticks.

Alchemist is different. We combine:

• Subconscious rewiring: shift beliefs that sabotage your calm

• Nervous system resets: release stress from your body instantly

• Energy clearing: free yourself from the invisible weight you’ve been carrying

You’ll leave with real, measurable results you can feel right away - and tools to keep them alive long after you return home.

Plus:
✔ Two facilitators who’ve lived this work, not just studied it
✔ Practical tools + instant feedback so you can track your own progress
✔ Integration support with post-retreat calls to make the changes stick

This isn’t “woo” or quick-fix wellness. It’s the alchemy of science, soul, and safety - designed to finally set you free.

Who This Retreat Is For

This is for you if you’re ready to stop just coping and start actually living.

It’s designed for women and men who:

• Feel like they’re “always on” and crave deep, guilt-free rest

• Have already done some personal growth work, but want a shift that lasts

• Are curious about blending grounded science with spiritual practices (no experience required)

• Want tools they can use every day - not just while they’re here

Most of all, it’s for people who know there’s more to life than stress and survival, and are finally ready to claim it.

(Everything is invitational - you’ll only ever go as deep as feels right for you. Safety and inclusivity are our highest priorities.)

Your Journey Over Five Days

This retreat is designed like a reset for your mind, body, and energy.
Each day flows between deep transformation and spacious rest - so you leave lighter, clearer, and grounded.

🕘 Daily Rhythm (9am – 5pm)

• Mornings: Grounding practices, subconscious rewiring, gentle movement to open your body and mind

• Afternoons: Energy clearing, integration exercises, group connection and support

• Breaks: Morning tea, lunch, and afternoon rest

By evening, you’ll return to your home or accommodation with your nervous system settled and your energy restored - ready for deep, nourishing rest overnight.

This isn’t about intensity. It’s about steady, powerful shifts that build day by day, so you don’t just experience transformation here - you take it home with you.

What You’ll Experience

Over five days, you’ll move from stressed and “always on” to calm, clear, and deeply connected.

Through powerful processes, embodied practices, and supportive group work, you’ll:

• Rewrite limiting beliefs so you stop looping in the same old patterns

• Release stress + anxiety stored in your body and energy field

• Rewire your nervous system for calm, safety, and resilience

• Strengthen your self-connection so decisions feel clearer and lighter

• Learn communication tools that bring more ease to relationships at work and at home

• Recharge your energy + vitality so you actually feel rested, not just “managing”

• Experience joy + connection through movement, laughter, and shared humanity

What’s Included

Your retreat package is designed to give you everything you need for a deep, lasting transformation:

• 5 full days of immersive retreat experiences (9am–5pm daily)

• All workshops, processes, and guided sessions led by two experienced facilitators

• Tea, coffee, and nourishing snacks each day to keep your energy steady

• Two post-retreat online group calls to support your integration at home

• A safe, intimate container with personalised guidance and plenty of space to be seen and supported

• Practical tools + take-home practices you can keep using long after the retreat ends

What's Not Included (so you can choose what suits you best)

To give you flexibility and freedom, these are not included in your retreat package:

• Accommodation: For those travelling, there are lots of nearby options to match your style and budget (we’ll happily share recommendations once you register).

• Travel expenses: You’re free to arrange transport in the way that works best for you.

In short: everything you need for deep transformation is included - without paying for extras you may not want. You choose the accommodation and travel that suits your lifestyle, while we take care of creating the safe, powerful container for your breakthroughs.

And here’s the best part: you’ll receive 5 full days of guided transformation + two months of integration support for less than the cost of a week away in Bali (with results that last far longer than a holiday).

The Facilitators:

Bhavna Megh

Bhavna has spent over 20 years immersed in human behaviour, coaching, and healing, but her journey began much earlier. Growing up in London, she was surrounded by energy healing in her family lineage, yet trained in a world that valued logic and science above all else. For years, she tried to “explain away” the magic.

Her turning point came through her own healing - watching her body and mind shift in ways that science alone couldn’t account for. Today, Bhavna blends her love of research and experimentation with a deep trust in the unseen, showing others how to experience both the science and the soul of transformation.

What makes Bhavna different is that she lives what she teaches. Every tool she shares is one she’s practiced and integrated in her own life. This is why she holds space with such clarity, compassion, and integrity - she’s walked the path herself.

Training + Modalities include: NLP, PSYCH-K, Hypnotherapy, Reiki Master & Teacher, Radionics, EFT/Tapping, Sound Healing, Nutrition, Massage Therapy, Aromatherapy, and more.

Brigetta Gates

Brigetta brings a rare blend of corporate success and deep inner transformation. With over 30 years’ experience in project management and business development, she knows firsthand the toll of high-pressure careers, constant responsibility, and living “always on.”

Her path shifted after a personal awakening led her into the world of subconscious healing and energy work. What began as her own search for balance became a calling: helping others release the stress, beliefs, and energetic blocks that hold them back.

Brigetta’s gift is her compassion and presence. She creates a space where people feel seen, heard, and deeply supported - blending the structure of her professional background with the intuition of energy healing.

Training + Modalities include: PSYCH-K, Dowsing, Radionics, Reiki, NLP, EFT/Tapping, Feng Shui, and Coaching.

Together, Bhavna and Brigetta bring decades of experience, two complementary perspectives, and one shared mission: to guide you back to the freedom, peace, and vitality that’s always been yours.

Why Us

Alone, Bhavna and Brigetta each bring decades of experience and a rich toolkit of modalities. Together, they create something rare: a balanced, co-facilitated space where you’re held by both the grounded structure of science and the intuitive flow of energy work.

Bhavna’s curiosity and depth meet Brigetta’s compassion and clarity - a partnership that ensures you feel both guided and supported, challenged and safe. With two facilitators, you’ll receive more personal attention, more perspectives, and more care throughout your journey.

This is the alchemy that makes the retreat unlike any other: two women who live this work, walking alongside you as you step into your own transformation.
