The Awakened Woman Retreat is for you if...

You’re tired of playing small - of holding back your truth, of hiding parts of yourself because you’re not sure how to step fully into your light.

You feel unsettled or disconnected from the deeper part of yourself, as if you’re still waiting for something outside of you to change in order for you to feel truly fulfilled.

You’ve been craving a space where you can finally let go, feel seen, and transform the fears that have been holding you back for far too long. 

You want to step into your next level of greatness - not just for yourself but for the people you care about. You know you have a greater purpose, and you’re ready to live it.

This isn’t just another retreat. This is a portal to your awakening. 

What’s waiting for you...

Heal and Release

The retreat will guide you in releasing old stories, limiting beliefs, and emotional blockages that have kept you looping in patterns of fear, doubt, and unworthiness. Through powerful practices like conscious connected breathwork, somatic therapies and quantum leap activations you’ll free yourself from what no longer serves you, emerging with a clearer sense of self, aligned with the woman you’ve always been but never fully allowed yourself to be.

Embody Your Feminine Power

Through sound healing, yoga, kundalini practices and ecstatic dance you’ll reconnect with your body and the innate wisdom it holds. No more fearing your emotions or doubting your intuition - this is your time to trust yourself fully and unlock the strength and power you hold.

Connection with Soul Sisters

You won’t be on this journey alone. You’ll be supported by a circle of like-minded women who are all there for the same reason: to heal, grow, and step into their power. Together, we create an environment of safety, love, and deep transformation that allows healing to happen faster than it ever could on your own.

Nature as Medicine

Set in the hinterland of Byron Bay, you’ll be surrounded by nature’s energy - an environment that will support your healing every step of the way. The lush surroundings and healing frequency of the land will help you drop into a space of deep rest and rejuvenation.

Meet Your Retreat Leader

After years of facilitating profound shifts with women online, I felt a deep pull to create something in the flesh.

A space where your nervous system can exhale, your body can speak, and your soul can take up space.

The Awakened Woman is the culmination of everything I believe about healing, embodiment and feminine power - brought to life in real time, in sacred space, with women who are walking the same path back to themselves.

This is more than a retreat. It’s a timeline shift.

Katharine McLean is a Holistic Counsellor, energy healer and certified breathwork facilitator with over 23 years of experience helping people break free from the patterns that keep them stuck - including the painful cycles of self-sabotage and self-abandonment. After masking her own addictions for over two decades, Katharine got sober and turned her pain into her purpose. As the founder of The Light Becomes Her, she now guides others in healing their childhood wounds, rewiring subconscious patterns, and embodying the emotional freedom they’ve always craved - through her 1:1 mentorship, transformational online courses and in person events.

Liesl Mounfield

Liesl’s love affair with yoga began in childhood, attending classes alongside her beloved grandmother - memories that left an imprint of connection, stillness, and love. But like many women, life moved quickly. Building a career, raising children, and relocating from the UK to Australia meant that yoga was gently set aside in the busyness of becoming everything for everyone else. In 2020, during one of the most challenging chapters of her life, Liesl was called to return - not just to yoga, but to herself. What began as a personal healing journey became a homecoming. Stepping back onto the mat felt like stepping back into her soul. Within the four corners of that mat, Liesl rediscovered inner peace, safety, stillness, and sanctuary. That healing became a calling.

Liesl completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training and deepened her studies in Yoga Nidra and Yin Yoga. She also shares her soothing voice and presence as a meditation guide on Insight Timer - a globally renowned platform - where she has published her own library of guided meditations. Today, Liesl’s work is rooted in presence, compassion, and the belief that the practices of yoga and meditation can gently reconnect us to the parts of ourselves we’ve forgotten. Her greatest joy is holding space for others - especially those who, like her, didn’t know just how much they needed it… until they arrived.

Sue-Ellen Purcell

Sue-Ellen is affectionately known as Suebee Fae by her community and has blended her skills over 35 years as a dancer, performer and intuitive healer into powerful and potent somatic dance journeys. 

In 2016 after surviving an assault and then losing most of her belongings in a devastating flood; she was diagnosed with chronic fatigue and PTSD and consequently surrendered to the pathway of illness as initiation. This monumental & complex healing journey opened Suebee up to a wellspring of inner wisdom, leading her down a path of somatic healing and awakening of her deep ancestral medicine. This journey only enriched her ability to listen deeply to the body, to inner stand the complexity of trauma & how to reactivate our innate instinctual healing from within. 

Suebee’s absolute passion for life and learning expresses through the myriads of ways she gathers people together. Woven through her full moon sister circles, blessing-ways, oracle readings, shaking medicine journeys and ecstatic dance workshops is always her unique ability for it to be a celebration of soul and soma. Her Women's Dance Journeys are deeply magical & reconnect women back to the elements; exploring the unity of our bodies, nature and the cosmos; and reawakening the power of tuning into the pulse of our hearts and wombs.

What others are saying:


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"When I've seen people advertise in the past for retreats or programs that claim to 'change your life', I have participated, and to be honest, my life hasn't changed. I cannot stress enough that my work with Katharine has actually changed my life! She is the best therapist/mentor I have ever interacted with.

She will say what she believes and will respectfully challenge me in my own healing. She has shown me how my brain works, and comprehensively understands all the biochemical reasons of why we act the way we do. She also has an incredible spiritual side, venturing topics of energy, soul contracts, and manifesting. Her knowledge spans scientific to spiritual, and I honestly can't see that her work wouldn't help anyone who felt that life didn't feel quite right and was open to a bit of self-excavation."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Since working with Katharine, I now have the tools and awareness to feel safe, self-regulate, and bring a different perspective to any and all situations. I now feel empowered to take responsibility for how I am feeling and perceiving situations. I have the tools to find where my triggers are actually originating from and bring myself back into balance.

This has truly been one of the most life-changing experiences and well worth going on this journey with Katharine as I was supported, heard, and guided to a better way of life. I healed two close relationships due to these processes, and I'm forever grateful."

 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Working with Katharine has literally changed my life. I have learned and discovered so much about myself over such a relatively short period of time working with her, and I have healed and grown in profound and significant ways - more ways than I ever thought was possible.

Although I have tried, I simply cannot put into words how endlessly grateful I am for Katharine, for everything she has done for me and for shining her luminous and beautiful light so brightly."
