Desire Portal
November 5th - 12th 2024 | Uluwatu, Bali
You’re invited to join us on the retreat of our dreams
We’re Whitney, Alex & Kiana -
We met nearly two years ago in a Somatic Healer Training and have been inseparable ever since. We were magnetized to each other during a chaotic plant medicine journey and were bonded over how we were able to psychically communicate in our preverbal state. Since then, with the power of three, we have done a deep dive into healing our own codependency, learning to belong without self abandonment, finding true safety in receiving, emotional intimacy (especially with other women), solid reflection & accountability. Ultimately this has landed us with access to a whole new level of power, desire and knowing of Self. We have been carefully cultivating a way to share the magic of what we’ve learned in our time together - and we are so excited to unlock your own Portal of Desire with you!
As someone who deeply longed for connection and belonging early in life, my life has become centered around somatically unlearning all of the defenses that I built in an attempt to find love or connection and creating sacred spaces of community and true belonging.
I deeply believe in authenticity, integrity, honesty, healing, processing through the body and creating a life that feels true and aligned. My offering and communities continue to expand as I learn more about myself and my truest desires for this lifetime. I love teaching people to tune into all of these things for themselves through somatics, Breathwork, restorative yoga, group healing and transformational retreats.

I grew up a dreamer with grand visions, over time with societal conditioning, I learned to tune down my dreams & turn towards the “safe & logical” route. I “had it all”, but was empty. I didn’t want the ordinary, I desired the extraordinary.
I’ve spent the last 7 years reconnecting to my lost parts, working with healers all over the world, reprogramming my subconscious, launching a podcast, facilitating hypnotherapy, somatic work, IFS, breathwork & more. I learned, the more I honor my dreams, the more colorful & complete my life is. I believe our fulfillment lives within our deepest desires, in reconnecting to our parts & living in alignment with our essence & authenticity. I LOVE storytelling, sharing my insights, helping others dream BIG & actualize their own extraordinary life.

Kiana Sayadfar
I identified as a depressed, loner, tough-girl tomboy my whole life - I’ve spent the past 10 years polishing away the rigidity I thought I was born with to find a soft, playful divine feminine underneath. I followed a tug of my intuition to drop everything & leave a political staffing career in my late twenties to take the leap into full time yoga teaching, somatic facilitation & to launch my first company, Namaste As Fuck. Since then, I’ve dedicated my life to diving deeper into the waters of my own desire & helping others do the same through in person healing work, somatic based business building & leading transformational retreats all over the world. I truly believe that the revolution lives inside each moment a woman chooses herself. I am so excited to share this experience with you!
