You followed the whisper…
My dearest sister,
In the quiet moments of your life, have you ever felt a stirring, an insistent hum in your heart – asking you to live your truth?
The one that’s so powerful when expressed, there is deep knowing that the universe will bend it’s back to meet your needs, thirsty to have more of you –
So much so that society had to create systems that limit your voice, invalidate your emotions, and stifle your ideas?
You have always yearned for deep access with the self to express your authenticity…
Because otherwise – no matter the achievements, the networks, and the validations, there’s still a lack of deep fulfillment if it wasn’t done from the heart.
You craved the freedom to express your femininity without judgment…
So you can create satisfying connections and relationships that meet your needs and respect your boundaries.
You desire to harmonize with your natural feminine rhythms to reduce stress, flow into your genius, and enhance your overall productivity…
Ending the haunt of negative self-talk, self-doubt, overwhelm, and stress when you move differently from our current ‘clockwork-like’ and ‘consistency-biased’ system.
This is the Divine Feminine energy in motion – a sacred force which resides within each of us, longing to awaken fully.
It's the nurturing force that comforts you in moments of doubt, the intuitive guide that leads you when paths seem unclear, and the creative spark that ignites your passions and dreams.
For far too long… we have allowed this Feminine energy to be suppressed. In the hustle of life, this vibrant energy is often muffled —
Through the ways we’ve been told to be, told to do, told to think, told to show up as.
I long for this sacred femininity within to be unleashed – don’t you?
Embodiment of this Divine Feminine is a journey of coming home to yourself…
To your TRUTH. It has always been INSIDE of you. This receiving, expressive, loving, and powerful manifesting energy is in all of us.
This journey is not just about (mental) understanding. NO – I don’t intend for you to “know” more.
It is about feeling deeply, embodying passionately, and living fully.
It's about peeling back the layers of societal expectations and self-imposed limitations to reveal your authentic self –
The self that knows its worth without needing validation…
The self that loves wholeheartedly and unconditionally, and…
The self that dances in harmony with life's natural rhythms.
You were never ‘unreasonable’ or ‘difficult’
When you embody the Divine Feminine, you tap into a wellspring of intuition and inner wisdom – guiding you in making life choices that resonate with your truest self that makes powerful changes…
So much so that the unaligned people in your lives who aren’t able to meet you would rather cut around your corners to fit their mold and be considered, “too much.”
You never had to rely on others for your worth
When you learn to trust the subtle nudges of your heart with the understanding that your inner compass is aligned with a higher purpose…You strengthen, uncover, and awaken your TRUE SELF WORTH.
In recognizing your worth, you remember your divine origin as the Daughter of the Cosmos, a magnificent creation endowed with the ability to not just perceive but to profoundly experience the universe’s wonders.
With this celestial knowledge, how can any shadow of doubt taint the brilliance of your self-worth?
You are left with no other choice but to live from the heart…
And living from it is to dwell in a space of innocence and boundless love, where judgment and blame dissolve into acceptance and nurturing.
Vulnerability becomes a superpower
In this heart space, you express your worth boldly and love freely. Here, trust deepens, and vulnerability becomes your strength –
Because in these moments of raw, unfiltered emotions true healing and transformation occur.
By allowing yourself to feel deeply, you create space for growth, self-discovery, and a powerful connection with others.
Move beyond the confines of the logical mind
To feel deep is to be attuned with your intuition – your connection with the cosmic intelligence that intricately designed the stars, the oceans, and the rhythm of life itself.
This connection empowers you to move beyond the confines of the logical mind – gracefully dance with life's cycles, phases of the moon, and the changing of seasons…
Embracing each ebb and flow with faith and surrender that effortlessly attracts soul-aligned people, opportunities, and experiences your way, serving your most highest good.
Every heart-led choice you make aligns you with your highest good, allowing you and your loved ones to thrive beyond survival
As you fully embody the Divine Feminine, your life becomes a canvas painted with the vibrant colors of emotion, intuition, and divine wisdom.
This heart-centered way of being nurtures healthy and fulfilling relationships by fostering open communication with deep understanding, allowing both you and your loved ones to thrive.
Own your space without shame or guilt
Most importantly, embodying the Divine Feminine is about realizing your strength, seeing yourself as a formidable force of nature that’s resilient, awe-inspiring, and infinitely powerful.
With all of these, you begin to stand in your truth, own your space, and shine your light that illuminates the path for others.
Envision a world where each of us honors this sacred energy within. Together, we craft lives beyond material success and into profound spiritual connection and fulfillment that stimulates compassion and co-creation.
Come home to the self – your unique light and divine essence
So, dear sister, if this message resonates with you, know that it's not by chance. It's a call to begin your own beautiful journey of embodying the Divine Feminine.
Trust that this path will lead you to a life filled with more love, joy, and purpose than you ever thought possible.
Embrace this journey with an open heart, and watch as the magic unfolds. The world needs your unique light, your divine essence, now more than ever.
Sister, our journey back to being Daughters of the Cosmos is now. Let’s come home to ourselves.

Your Facilitator
In the 3D world A.K.A by day, Sarah is a Wealth and Business Energetics Consultant and Transformation Coach.
In the 4D world A.K.A by night, she’s a lightworker, channel, energy healer, and a teacher of timeline shifting.
On top of it all, she’s the beloved Head Facilitator for Becoming. She has heeded the call to help current and future Filipinos free themselves from limiting beliefs and heal their intergenerational trauma so they can break through to the next level (financially, emotionally, and spiritually) through re-coding their subconscious mind and maximizing its power.
Now, she shares the lessons and transformations that surrender and trust – big actions related to the Divine Feminine energy – brings.
“I remember the act of "surrendering" to the unknown when I 'ran away' from home at 18. That decision was my first and biggest real act of surrender. It was scary, and it hurt a lot of people...but it was also my first and most important step towards self-discovery and independence.
Then when I impulsively shaved my head, while at the peak of my career as a makeup artist. Shaving my head meant exposing myself to the world in a way I never had before. It was a leap into the unknown, a testament to the power of vulnerability. That buzz of the razor symbolized the shedding of fears and the embracing of a new self. I learned that there's incredible strength in letting go, in stripping away what no longer serves us.This was my first step towards true freedom. Freedom from expectations, from the need for approval, from the fear of judgment. It was the moment I started to live for myself.
When I gave my business up back in 2018. Tears in my eyes, hugging myself under a blanket and just allowing the death of my identity once more, the identity that was very much attached to this business. This was also when I first learnt the craziest lesson of being met where I am at, and stepping into alignment with what my Highest Self and Intuition is leading me to be – this is where in less than 24 hours after surrendering, I was given the opportunity to coach Pia.
But this story is only incredible, because I specifically asked, that I would like to make a difference FOR REAL, and impact the top 1% of those who HAVE a voice, knowing that if I help them, they will continue to help others and spread the same lesson on self improvement and awakening. This was the biggest "okay, I am listening" response by God, The Father, the Universe, to my heart.
When I chose to stay in Australia, 3 years ago. Not knowing how I can make things "work". But everything fell beautifully into place, in the most effortless way.
Surrender taught me that pure intentions set the frequency of our experiences. It's a magnetic force, attracting those we can serve and who can enrich our journeys in return.
How I see surrender now...is like putting a search command over Google, and trusting that the 'best' results will be presented to me, I now see life as a series of algorithmic responses, based on my frequency, and therefore, I SURRENDER TO my preferred version of AI, the UII- UNIVERSAL INFINITE- INTELLIGENCE. Or, if it makes more sense to you... to GI- to God-Intelligence.

There are NO coincidences
You’re here because you felt that inner plea–that CALL of hope…
For a safe space to be validated and understood.
We’re here to bring it up a notch – intentional ACTIVATION of your sacred feminine self, aligned with your highest good.
This page has been set up in such a way that only attract high frequency women who are ready to activate their sleeping Divine Feminine for bigger manifestation, unapologetic self expression, unshakable self-worth, better life experiences, deeper relationships, and their needs being met.
It is NOT for people who think that this is a one-off transformation.
This type of activation is long-term and permeates through all aspects of life.
It is NOT for sisters who haven’t tried everything in the world to fulfill their cup.
This retreat is a quantum leap beyond the steps, flows, and structures that the masculine world has put in place for women to follow through in order to meet their needs.
It is NOT for those who expect generic and templated day-by-day flow of lectures and activities.
Our Head Facilitator is known to follow her intuition into giving the most aligned support which the students need. This means that activities sometimes change to fit everyone’s energy. We understand that this dynamic is not for everyone, but we’re proud to share that it’s what makes each of our workshops, lessons, and facilitations unique from each other and powerful energy, mind, and body shifter.
Imagine…
Returning to your daily life with a newfound embodiment of the feminine parts that have been hidden from you.
✅ People can’t help but tune in to your words because they feel your sincerity and confidence in every sentence.
✅ You turn heads when entering meetings and rooms. Your deep acceptance of your parts has freed you from the fear of judgment, attracting eyes with the light of your authentic and unapologetic self.
✅ Your relationships are more intimate AND satisfying – your physical, mental, and emotional needs are met by partners, loved ones, and friends who you also feel equally free to express love and gratitude towards.
✅ Conflicts are no longer life or death situations. You see their perspective and empathize with their emotions without compromising your own. You know how to create a safe space to speak your truth and receive theirs, leading to conversations that reach mutual understandings and win-win solutions.
✅ You no longer hide or invalidate your emotions and needs, knowing that people are best served with your authenticity. Because of this, people open up and align with you more. Your unwavering strength coming from vulnerability has allowed them to be honest with their perspective and feelings as well, giving both of you the opportunity to step into your best selves.
✅ People praise your natural looks, appreciate your style, and support your bodily choices through exuding confidence and radiance that comes from respecting and seeing your body as a gift.

✅ You begin creating more meaningful conversations through vulnerability. People respect your opinions and validate your experiences. There’s less resistance to forming connections and relationships, having intact and self-sustaining self-worth.
✅ Problems are seen as avenues for alignment and practicing your genius. After activating your creativity, you’ve begun coming into the scene with curiosity which helps you flow with solutions.
