Get In Touch

Style means nothing if your identity is still buried under conditioning.

We peel back the layers that have been keeping you hidden, because perfecting your colours and style means nothing if the woman underneath is still carrying old stories that the patriarchy made her believe.

We go deeper, into the layers no one else is willing or able to touch.

We uncover your souls golden essence, and from there, guide you back to who you truly are.

While others offer surface‑level fixes or try to convince you you’re “not enough” so they can sell you more…
we work on the inside and the outside, the only way transformation actually lasts.

If you’re curious to explore this inside‑out approach or want to rediscover your soul’s essence, send us a DM, we’d love to support you.

There’s a moment every woman knows.

That tiny spark of curiosity… the whisper that says maybe this is for me.

And then the wobble. The fear. The “but can I really do this on my own?”

Here’s the truth I’m learning in real time:
You don’t wait to feel brave or confident enough before you leap.

You become brave and confident because you leapt.

Solo travel can feel scary, of course it can.

But Morocco is calling you into something bigger.

And you won’t be doing it alone.

You’ll be held, supported, witnessed… surrounded by women choosing themselves in the exact same way.
Imagine how proud you’ll feel on the other side of this.
Or imagine always wondering what if…

If your heart is tugging, even a little, that’s your sign.

Comment MY TURN to get the Morocco brochure.
Go on, we dare you to be brave xx

At 54, with an empty nest and a divorce behind me...
Last night I dined solo in a foreign city,
listening to a language I do not understand, yet somehow understanding myself more clearly than ever.

Life does not stop when the children grow up or when a marriage ends.

It expands, and I am stepping fully into it.

#rebelliousessence #transformation #midlifeawakening #emptynest #midlifemagic

I built a life around being needed. Now I’m discovering who I am outside of everything I’ve carried.

54 years old. Alone for the first time in over 20 years.
Nobody really talks about this part. How loud the silence can feel.
How much of yourself you meet when life shifts like this.

Some days I feel strong. Some days I feel unsteady. Both are real.

This chapter isn’t polished or picture-perfect. It’s unfamiliar. It’s emotional. It’s me growing in ways I never had space to before.

I didn’t choose this because it’s easy.
I chose it because something in me was ready.

So this is my version of EAT PRAY LOVE… It’s my FREEDOM ABUNDANCE AND TRANSFORMATION.

#rebelliousessence #transformation #midlifeawakening #midlifemagic #menopause

Are you ready to take the next step into your freedom, your abundance, your transformation on your own terms?

Behind the scenes of planning Morocco… and as always, there’s no neat checklist, no “this is how retreats are done.”

We don’t do standard.
We feel our way in.

Every retreat starts with energy, not spreadsheets.
With intuition, not industry rules.

With the land, the women, and the transformation that’s calling.

Phone calls with local suppliers who create from soul, not mass production.

Choosing alchemists who don’t just facilitate, they ignite.
Curating a journey that opens freedom, expands abundance, and invites the kind of transformation you can’t package or predict.

Letting the schedule breathe, shift, and evolve because each retreat has its own pulse, its own medicine, its own rebellion.

This is the work no one sees:

The sensory details.
The devotion.
The alchemy behind the experience you’ll step into.

I chose myself.

At 54, I walked out of the only home I’ve known for years, packed a suitcase, and stepped into a life I’ve never lived before.

For the first time in 20 years, I’m completely on my own.
My daughter is off travelling the world.
My old life has fallen away.

And I’m here in France, learning how to breathe again.

It’s messy.
It’s lonely.
It’s frightening.
And it’s also the first time I’ve had the space to ask myself what I want.

This season isn’t polished or pretty.

It’s a woman rebuilding herself from the inside out.

It’s me choosing to do the things I’ve dreamt of, even with shaking hands.

It’s a new adventure, one I didn’t feel ready for, but one I’m walking into anyway.

This is the real journey.

This is what choosing yourself actually looks like.

#rebelliousessence #midlifemagic #eatpraylove #emptynest

Let’s be honest.
Most retreats give you relaxation.
Some give you inspiration.
A few give you community.

But almost none give you identity transformation, the kind that changes how you see yourself, how you dress, how you move, how you speak, how you show up in the world.

This is why Rebellious Essence exists.

We are the only brand delivering a whole‑self recalibration that integrates:

• psychology

• identity work

• emotional truth

• energetic mapping

• colour psychology

• style embodiment

• visibility healing

• aesthetic expression

This is not surface-level.
This is not fragmented.
This is not “find your colours and go home.”
This is the work that sticks.
This is the work that changes you.
This is the work no one else is doing.
If you’re ready to stop living in fragments and step into your full, unapologetic identity, Morocco is your moment.

A day with JoJo - our Creative SAS Brand Director is not for the faint‑hearted.

She gives us three options every time: soft, medium, or hard…
and obviously we always choose hard.

(Cheeky. But come on… we’re Rebellious Essence.)

Picture this: our whole team crammed into a Worcester Airbnb, coffee cups everywhere, flip‑charts on the floor, and JoJo interrogating Josie like the toughest interviewer on earth. No fluff. No niceties. No “that’ll do.”

Just the real, uncomfortable, necessary questions that slice straight to the core of our brand:

Who are you REALLY?
What do you stand for?
What are you here to disrupt?
Why does this work matter?
Where are you hiding?
What are you done apologising for?

She’s sassy, not sorry.
We’re rebellious, not quiet.
And together… this brand gets sharper, braver, and more unapologetically us.

#rebelliousessence #transformation #sassynotsorry #awakenyouressence

This weekend we stepped out of the inbox and into a beautiful barn in the countryside. Just our Marketing Director, Socials team, and Brand Director, a kettle that never stopped boiling, and a table full of ideas that refused to stay small.

Team building, but make it Rebellious Essence.

We spent the weekend dreaming, planning, creating, laughing, vision‑boarding, photographing, and mapping out the bones of our 2026 world.

No fluorescent lights.
No corporate icebreakers.
No “circle back on Monday.”
Just women building something real, intentional, and creatively alive.

This is how we work best - together, in a space that feels like exhale, surrounded by beauty, clarity, and possibility.
A team that knows how to blend strategy with soul, structure with intuition, and big vision with grounded action.

2026 is already taking shape - and trust us, it’s going to be powerful.

Here’s to the barn, the brainstorms, the belly laughs, and the beginning of our next chapter.

#rebelliousessence #girlsweekend #transformation

Blue Monday, Rebellious Essence Style.

Blue Monday hits differently when you’re building a life and a business outside the matrix.

We’re not a 9–5 team pretending everything’s fine while quietly falling apart.

We’re women navigating real emotions, real mental health, real life, and we support each other through every rise and fall.

Some days we’re creative fire.

Some days we’re flat on the floor.

Some days we’re laughing.

Some days we’re crying.

All of it is allowed here.

Transformation from the inside out means meeting your true colours, not just the pretty ones.

Yes, we use colour to dress, to shift energy, to activate chakras, to bring you back into balance…

But we also honour the inner landscape that can’t be styled away.

No happy‑clappy bypassing.

No “good vibes only.”

No pretending.

Just truth.

As women, we’re taught to stay small, stay polite, stay pretty, stay quiet.

Don’t be angry.

Don’t be messy.

Don’t be too much.

But emotions that aren’t expressed get trapped in the body and they cost us our health, our power, our voice.

So today, on Blue Monday, we’re giving you permission you never needed:

Let it out.

Feel it all.

Cry, rage, soften, shake, breathe.

Be human.

Be messy.
Be real.

Be you.

We’ll be doing the same, together, as a team, as women, as humans who refuse to pretend.

Your emotions are welcome here.

Your truth is welcome here.

You are welcome here.

#rebelliousessence #transformation #midlifeawakening #reclaimyouressence #awakenyouressence #luxuryretreat #midlifemagic #divinefeminine #boldunapologeticrebellion #bluemonday

Behind Rebellious Essence is a mother and daughter navigating meetings, miles on the road, big ideas, strong opinions… and a shared belief that women deserve more than a life that just “works”.

We build these retreats the way some people build worlds, through the senses.

Taste: menus curated for nourishment, pleasure, and grounding

Touch: textures, fabrics, blankets, and
goodie‑bag treasures chosen to soothe

Sight: candlelight, colour palettes, tablescapes, and tiny visual details that shift your nervous system

Sound: playlists, silence, breath, the way a room feels when women exhale together

Scent: oils, incense, fresh air, the smell of a space that’s been prepared with intention

Energy: the sixth sense, the one you can’t see but you feel the moment you walk in

This is the part no one sees.

The late nights.

The spreadsheets.

The menu testing.

The sourcing.

The packing.

The “does this feel right?” conversations.

The devotion to every single detail.

Fran brings her organisational genius and event‑planning precision.

Josie brings the sensory world‑building, the creativity, the atmosphere.

Together, we create retreats that feel like being held, deeply, intentionally, luxuriously.

We were born for this.

For hosting.

For beauty.

For care.

For crafting spaces where women can soften and be taken care of in ways they didn’t know they needed.

If you’re craving a retreat where no detail is left untouched, where your senses are honoured and your nervous system is met with softness…

May is waiting for you.

Will you join us?

There’s something special about watching a woman say yes to herself.

Her time at Rebellious Essence was that kind of yes, rooted, intentional, and deeply aligned with her path.

An honour to hold space for her journey. 🤍

In February, I won’t have a fixed address.
Not because something fell apart, but because I chose not to rush into the next box.

I’m heading to France for a month to listen, to breathe, to see what life feels like when I don’t force certainty too soon.
It’s scary, yes.
And it’s also the freest I’ve felt in a long time.

Midlife has a way of asking braver questions.
Do I choose safety… or truth?
Comfort… or expansion?

This is the work we do at Rebellious Essence.
Not reckless leaps, conscious ones.
The kind that build trust in yourself before the plan is fully formed.

If you’ve been standing at your own crossroads, feeling the pull toward something more but waiting until it feels “sensible”, this is your reminder: clarity often comes after the choice.

Sometimes freedom looks like not knowing.
And choosing yourself anyway.

#midlife #transformation #rebelliousessence #reclaimyouressence #divinefeminine

Here, women remembered they are allowed to take up space.

The shift wasn’t about doing more, it was about unlearning the need to shrink.

If this speaks to you or you’d like more information, DM us or visit the link in our bio to learn more about our May retreat.

#rebelliousessence #transformation #midlifeawakening #reclaimyouressence #luxuryretreat

There comes a moment when a woman feels the shift.

A quiet tug in her chest.

A whisper that says more.

A knowing that the life she’s been living is
too small for the woman she’s becoming.

This reel is a love note to every woman standing on the edge of her technicolour era, braver than she realises, wiser than she gives herself credit for, and so ready to step into the version of herself she’s been circling for years.

But truthfully…

Even when the pull is strong, something often gets in the way.

✨ Tell me in the poll:
When you feel the pull to make a change… what usually gets in the way?

• Fear of getting it wrong

• Worrying what other people think

• Not feeling ready

• Old habits

Your answer matters.

Your awareness is the first step into your technicolour life.

We are here when you are ready to take that leap of faith xxx

This reel says it all and truly speaks for itself.

We hope it gives you a real feel for who we are at Rebellious Essence , what we stand for, what we believe in, and the women we serve.

We go deep.

We dare to strip away who the world told us we should be.

We celebrate real women in the most powerful stage of their lives and help them shine like the technicolour goddesses they are.

We’re here to support you as you shed the old and create the vision of the woman we already know you can be, even on the days you don’t quite believe she lives within you.

We see you.

And we unconditionally empower you to rediscover the authentic, unapologetic you.

This year, we have big plans for this brand, a movement, a sisterhood, a community, a revolution for midlife rebels who refuse to dim their light.

Will this be the year you claim YOUR Freedom, Abundance, and Transformation

We invite you to join us in Morocco this May for five nights of soul‑deep work in luxury and style.

Will you join us ?

🎉 We (Almost) Made It! 🎉

2025 has been a wild ride hasn’t it ? intense, unpredictable, and full of lessons.

But through it all, I’ve grown, achieved, and kept showing up.

From the huge step of creating this brand to ticking off business class travel from my vision board but also simply making it through the chaos, I’m proud of every step.

So let’s take a moment to give ourselves a round of applause, we’ve earned it.

Now your turn:
What were your biggest “applause moments” of 2025?

Drop them below, I want to celebrate with you.

Rebellious Essence started as a spark, a refusal to fit the mould.
Born from passion, built on authenticity, and fuelled by those who dare to be different.
This isn’t just a brand, it’s a movement, a community.
And we’re only getting started.

#rebelliousessence #builtdifferent #fearlesslyyou #transformation #reclaimyouressence

This Christmas, I’m choosing a different kind of magic.

Not the loud, shiny, perfectly packaged kind but the kind that feels like truth.

I’m letting go of how it’s supposed to look and leaning into how I want it to feel. Calm, free, mine.

Life has changed and instead of resisting that, I’m honouring it. I’m giving myself permission to evolve, to create new rituals, to celebrate in ways that reflect who I am now, not who I used to be or who anyone expects me to be.

This isn’t rebellion for the sake of rebellion. It’s self-trust. It’s self-care. It’s choosing alignment over autopilot.

So here’s to a Christmas that’s a little unconventional, deeply personal, and unapologetically mine.
I’m choosing myself and that choice feels like peace, power, and a fresh start all at once.

HOW ARE YOU SPENDING YOUR CHRISTMAS?

Today we celebrate the shortest day and the longest night… THE WINTER SOLSTICE

For me, this time of year can feel heavy, with so little light.

But I’ve learned to trust that we are meant to be cocooning, going inward. Resting, not rushing.

Despite the demands of the Christmas season, nature calls us to slow down.

Outside, everything is damp and dark, with no visible growth. Yet underground, roots are forming, bulbs are preparing to rise in spring.

And it’s the same for us, our seeds of manifestation need nourishment, darkness, and rest.

So let’s not fight this energy. Let’s go inward. Let’s meet our shadows, heal, and release what no longer needs to follow us into the light.

My Solstice rituals:

My rituals are simple but sacred: fairy lights to soften the dark, a fire to release what no longer serves me, candles with beautiful aromatherapy oils, warm nourishing drinks, cosy socks and blankets.
I journal, I pull cards, and I listen for what’s hidden in the shadows.

And for me, this day holds even more meaning 19 years ago, I was preparing to give birth to my daughter.

A reminder that even in the darkest season, life-changing light can emerge.

So tonight, I celebrate the darkness, the rest, and the rebirth that always follows.

The New Moon in Sagittarius on the 20th December is the last moon of 2025.

It comes the day before the winter solstice which feels even more powerful so use this energy to really wrap up 2025 with a clean slate.

Sagittarius is all about pulling back the bow and arrow and pointing it in the direction you want to aim for.

But first we need to review what has happened to take us off course in 2025.

In order to create new intentions and what our soul is yearning for we must clear out the old and make room for new adventures.

Journalling prompts which you may find useful to explore for this moon are:

1. What or who do you feel has held you back this year and kept you stuck repeating patterns that no longer serve you ? This may be yourself ?! (no judgment here).

2. What has felt hard and like you are wading through treacle ? What is this showing you about what you need to let go of and remove from your life ?

3. What do you think your souls purpose is ? What’s calling you to do more of that really lights you up ?

4. Are you living in true alignment with what your soul yearns for ? You will know if you sit with this question where this is out of whack. When you are aligned things feel exciting and in flow.

As a Sagittarius Moon myself I will be doing this work on what has been a huge year for me with lots of reflection to be done before I start 2026.

What are your key reflections about 2025 ?

Jo arrived in ‘I’m okay’ mode… but the woman she’s becoming refused to stay there. She let the fire rise. She chose more. She chose herself.

Has 2025 drained the life out of you?

Chaos. Shedding. Nothing feeling quite right.

Have you felt it… that ache, that knowing the old ways no longer fit?

Here’s my invitation…

What if January 2026 was your clean slate?

No more shrinking.
No more asking permission.
Just a time to invest in YOU.

Your symptoms, your suffering they’re not random.

They’re your soul crying out for alignment.

This January, I’ve created The Morocco Immersion.

A 5‑night luxury retreat for women at life’s crossroads.

✨Comment MOROCCO to get the brochure.✨

Put yourself first… GO ON, WE DARE YOU!

#rebelliousessence #transformation #midlifeawakening #awakenyouressence #luxuryretreat #midlifemagic #reclaimyouressence #divinefeminine #menopause #morocco

✨You aren’t lost. You’re evolving.✨

As the kids grow and the empty-nest season begins to unfold, life creates space for a new kind of self discovery.

Not because caring for your children ever made you smaller but because now you finally have room to turn inward, to ask what you want next, to explore your own identity with fresh eyes.

There’s a quiet, rebellious essence rising.

A pull toward doing things for yourself, reclaiming your path, rediscovering your rhythm.

If you’re feeling that shift and craving a retreat to explore it, there are only a few spaces left to step into what’s waiting for you.

There’s something revolutionary about a woman in midlife choosing to travel on her own.

Not waiting for the perfect timing, partner, or plan.

Just following her desire to experience more of the world and more of herself.

In this clip, our founder and her friend dive into the truth about solo travel as a midlife woman.

The fears, the freedom, and the deeply empowering realisations that happen when you step out into the world independently.

And yes… we touch on Morocco, because despite the stories people love to tell, we felt incredibly safe, welcomed, and held there.

But that’s just one example.

The deeper message?

✨ Your midlife is an opening, not a limitation.

✨ Solo travel is a reclamation of your power.

✨ The world is far more welcoming than fear would have you believe.

This conversation is your reminder that you don’t need permission to explore, expand, or rediscover yourself.

You only need the courage to follow the part of you whispering “more.”

🔥 And if that whisper is getting louder… the Morocco Immersion is waiting for you.

Whether you’re ready to book your space or want to speak directly with our founder to see if it aligns with your next chapter, you can take that step now.

Your world expands the moment you do.

DM or email [email protected] to join us.

✨Real Women. Real Transformation.✨

This isn’t just a retreat.
It’s a rebellion.
A reclamation.
A return to soul.

Watch the women who said yes to themselves, who stepped into the fire, the ritual, the wild beauty of Rebellious Essence… and emerged radiant, real, and rewritten.

Their adventure didn’t end when the retreat did.
It continues in their relationships, their careers, their creativity, their confidence.

This is what happens when you choose aligned action over autopilot.

So… is this a bit of you?

Are you ready to rewrite your story, reclaim your power, and rise?

The next chapter begins in Morocco. 🇲🇦

🌸 World Kindness Day Be Kind to You.

Kindness isn’t just something we give to others.
It’s something we choose for ourselves daily, deliberately, unapologetically.

Years ago, I lived a life that looked “fine” on the outside…
But inside, my soul was whispering this isn’t it.

Stress, suppression, striving.
I was surviving, not thriving.
And then I chose kindness.
I chose healing.
I chose to invest in myself—not just with time or money, but with truth.

✨ I built Rebellious Essence from that choice.
✨ I created a life of freedom, abundance, and transformation.
✨ I now lead women through their own midlife rebellion with rituals, retreats, and radical self-love.

So today, on World Kindness Day, I invite you to turn that love inward.

Be kind to your body.
Be kind to your dreams.
Be kind to the version of you that’s still becoming.
Invest in your joy.
Invest in your healing.
Invest in the life your soul came here to live.

#WorldKindnessDay #RebelliousEssence #MidlifeRebellion #SoulLedBusiness #WomenWhoLead #LuxuryWellness #KindnessStartsWithin #Transformatio

We’re not about perfection.

We’re about presence.

About belly laughs, spontaneous dance breaks, and the kind of soul connection that feels like family even if you met last week.

This trip wasn’t just about scouting luxe venues or mapping astrocartography lines.

It was about living the essence of Rebellious Essence:
Freedom. Fun. Feminine fire.

And a whole lot of “Did we just manifest that?” moments.
Sometimes, family isn’t who you expect.

It’s the women who hold space, crack jokes, pass the snacks, and remind you who you are.

Here’s to the alchemists, the rebels, the radiant ones.
Here’s to the journey messy, magical, and absolutely ours.

Forget Beverly Hills - this is Marrakesh, baby.

Where the sunsets are scandalous, the tiles are couture, and the villa? A fever dream in locally sourced marble and unapologetic luxury.

10 suite bedrooms. Sumptuous courtyards. Three swimming pools. Our own Hammam.

If you thought Ibiza was boujee… you haven’t seen anything yet.

Step inside if you’re ready for a life-altering experience of Freedom, Abundance & Transformation.
Go on, we dare you.

Taurus Full Moon Magic, Nov 5.🌕

Tonight, the moon rises bold and bright in Taurus, a Supermoon of grounding, beauty, and embodied truth.

This isn’t just a moon. It’s a mirror. A magnifier. A moment to root into what’s real and release what no longer resonates.

As I walk the sacred soil of Morocco, I feel the pull of this lunation in every cell.

The land speaks. The vision sharpens. The retreat blueprint breathes.

Taurus calls us to slow down. To honour the body. To choose beauty as a portal to transformation.

And with the Sun in Scorpio, we’re asked to alchemise our shadows into gold.

This moon is not about hustle. It’s about homecoming, to self, to soul, to the mission we’re here to lead.

So tonight, we gather around the fire.

We write what no longer serves, old stories, fears, perfectionism, doubt.

We offer them to the flames.

We speak our truth aloud, letting the moon witness our becoming.

✨ Rituals I’m anchoring tonight:
- Bonfire release ceremony with my alchemists.
- Gratitude offerings to the land holding our January retreat.
- Voice activation under the stars.
- Trusting the cosmic map that led me here

This isn’t just ceremony. It’s soul strategy.

If you’re feeling the call to ground your next chapter in beauty, power, and soul-led rebellion… Morocco is waiting.

Our first trip to Morocco, the land of mystery, magic, and deep feminine wisdom.

Together with my marketing and content alchemists, we’re journeying to hand-select the luxe retreat space and weave the energetic blueprint for our January 2026 experience.

Morocco has whispered to me for months… through conversations, synchronicities, and soul nudges.

When the signs align, we listen. We act. We follow the pull.

As part of my continued expansion, I had a powerful astrocartography reading with the incredible @i_am_karenjackson, mapping the energetic hotspots where my mission can thrive.

Morocco holds visionary, heart-led frequencies in my chart. It’s a portal for creativity, intuition, and transformation.

This isn’t a whim, it’s aligned action. Guided by cosmic tools, soul strategy, and the intention to empower midlife women in their radiant rebellion.

Follow along as we scout, dream, and design the next chapter of Rebellious Essence.

If Morocco is calling you too… we’d love to have you with us. DM or email [email protected] to explore the journey.

✨MOROCCO 2026✨

THE ONLY NEW YEARS RESOLUTION YOU NEED!

This January, we’re not making unsustainable New Year’s resolutions.

We’re not joining any FAT clubs.

We’ve created our own.

The Freedom, Abundance, Transformation Club.

A soul-level revolution. A rebellion against quick fixes and surface-level change.

In Morocco, we begin again from the inside out.

🏜️ 5 nights of ritual, luxury, and radical remembrance.

🍽️ Private chef, sacred spaces, and desert magic.

🌌 A portal to the next version of you.

This is not a retreat.

It’s a reclamation.

🔗 Link in bio to join the club.
💫 Limited spaces. Flexible payment options

I was honoured to be part of Joanna Woods’ powerful exhibition, UNMASKED—a space where women dared
to get real, raw, and radically seen.

We took the chance. We stepped into the light.

Women—just like all of us—who’ve spent years hiding behind the mask of survival, perfection, silence.

This wasn’t just art. It was a reclamation.

A reminder that when we remove the mask, we don’t lose ourselves—we finally meet her.

The technicolour goddess. The rebel. The truth-teller.

Thank you Joanna for creating a space where our stories could breathe.

Rebellious Essence stands with every woman who’s ready to unmask and rise.

Nicola joined us at The Immersion with an open heart and a deep knowing that there was more within her to uncover. ✨

She described arriving with “an annoying backpack” of things she’d been carrying for far too long and through the healing journey of the retreat, she finally flung it off.

Now, she speaks of feeling a beautiful sense of peace, lightness, and clarity. A reminder that when we truly turn inward, transformation unfolds in the most powerful ways.

If Nicola’s story speaks to something stirring within you, perhaps your own release is waiting too.

As we enter the autumnal vibes of October we’ve been reminiscing about our unforgettable week spent in Ibiza!

Our retreat was filled with laughter, connection, and the kind of transformation that lasts far beyond the island.

This was more than just a getaway, it was freedom to breathe, abundance in every moment, and the magic of rediscovering yourself and having permission to transform into the women you are here to be.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign that it’s your time… this is it.

Spaces for our future retreats are kept deliberately exclusive, so if you’re ready to unleash your inner Rebel then let’s talk about how you can be part of the next adventure.

Want in ?
Ready to take the brave step and put you first for a change ?

Let’s connect and start the conversation to get started. Book your call today (https://calendly.com/josiehcook/discovery) and step into your boldest, most vibrant chapter yet.

Sunday`s new moon in Virgo is serving us a cosmic reminder that safety and clarity feel good...

But perfection isn’t the goal.

Classic Virgo energy can have us wanting to tidy up every messy corner of life (including our emotions and relationships!), but sometimes the magic is in the imperfections.

Use this new moon to find order where it matters, but loosen your grip where life is asking you to trust. Not everything has to fit the plan for it to be powerful and necessary!

What’s one thing you can release control over this week? ☾

Shelley joined us at The Immersion as the winner of our giveaway, and what a powerful journey it was to witness. 🦋

Her experience shows us that transformation can arrive in the most unexpected ways when you open yourself up to the universe!

For Shelley, The Immersion was a reminder that no matter your stage of life, the essence within you is waiting to be rediscovered and expressed.

If her words resonate with you, maybe your transformation is closer than you think...

Girlhood knows no age.
These past few days, we hosted our very first retreat. A beautiful gathering of women from all walks of life, united by the deep, unshakable threads of sisterhood, softness, strength, and shared stories. From laughter to healing, what we experienced was nothing short of transformative.
We’ll be announcing more retreat dates very soon, if this is calling you, make sure you’re on the mailing list and keep your ears open. Your moment might be next.

We’re already at the end of day 3 of our Ibiza immersion. Words can’t describe what we have all experienced so far. When you bring a group of 11 women together we can create magic.
Freedom, abundance, transformation.

More content to follow over the next two days 🌟

Today - the day before The Immersion begins - the skies will host a very special something...

September`s `Blood Moon` total lunar eclipse. 🌙

It’s a rare alignment that brings themes of self-reflection, spiritual connection and big change.

Could the timing be any better?! It`s going to be a perfect beginning to our week of transformation in the energy-abundant Ibiza.

As the moon shifts into shadow later today and glows dusty red, we’ll be ready for it`s brilliant return on the first day of The Immersion.

Even if you`re not joining us, we`re rooting for your transformation this September eclipse! ☾

Change is big. It’s messy. It’s brave. And it’s kind of terrifying sometimes!

That’s why we created The Immersion, to give you a space where transformation doesn’t feel overwhelming, but supported, safe and even luxurious.

Our team of Essence Alchemists have done this work. They know how much courage it takes to make a change, and we’re here with you for every single step of it.

You don’t have to do this alone. And it doesn’t have to feel daunting.

It can feel like the sun on your face, the sound of the sea and the voice of women just like you saying, “you’ve got this.”

Thank you to the lovely @RachelPeru1 for hosting this livestream back in June!

New moon incoming! 🌑✨

On 23 August, we’ve got a fresh lunar cycle kicking off, and this one’s all about clarity.

It lands in Virgo season, so don’t be surprised if you’re suddenly craving a bit of order, routine, or even a mini life declutter (emotionally or otherwise).

It’s the perfect time to set grounded, intentional goals, check in with your body and wellness and revisit your self-expression.

Ask yourself: What do I actually want? What feels aligned now? Am I expressing myself authentically?

Expect to feel:
✨ Reflective instead of reactive
✨ Fresh energy to journal
✨ Mindset shifts

What was your experience of the last month? Let us know if you`re feeling prepared for this one!

☾ rebelliousessence.com

What does "permission" mean to you? Because somewhere along the line, a lot of us started waiting for it!

So many women grow up believing they need permission to speak up, to want more, to be fully themselves.

We’re taught to wait for approval, to play it safe and to keep things comfortable for everyone else.

But the truth is, you’re allowed to grow (and to outgrow), even in midlife.

You’re allowed to be bold one day and soft the next. You don’t have to stay in the version of you that fits neatly into other people’s expectations.

This is your reminder that being rebellious doesn’t mean you HAVE to be loud or quiet, big or small, maximalist or minimalist.

It`s about being real, authentic and fully yourself.

Congratulations to @shelleykj04 for winning our £5,555 Ibiza retreat giveaway! 🎉

We were definitely stunned and absolutely delighted with the number of submissions for this giveaway.

It was really powerful to sit and read through all the rules you are ready to break, and SO hard to pick a winner.

Shelley wrote that she has no more patience for waiting to be ‘allowed’ to do what she wants, and we couldn`t agree more.

As a gesture of thanks for all of the extra interest, we have opened up a couple more retreat places for the Ibiza Immersion, so it`s still not too late to apply.

For anyone who`s thinking about joining us for our first retreat, tomorrow is the last day to apply. Sign up while you can!
