Check out more about The Aspire Summit below. We are excited for you to join on the adventure!

 

Imagine this...

We are watching the misty orange sunset over the coconut trees with a remarkable group of women. You have spent four days creating friendships with women from across the world, both similar and diverse in your worldview.

You are all most passionate about leading change and impact. In creating better for the world.

Balinese culture and women's wisdom has held deep threads through the way we have shared in ceremony and under waterfalls.

Not only have you seen some of the world's finest speak and share their wisdom, you have been seen as the PHENOMENAL change maker that you are.

The change that has transpired in this space alone, you know is second to none and has expanded you TREMENDOUSLY, as you prepare to leave, somehow different and also even more connected to yourself and what you stand for.

 

DATES/TIMES: 

START:~ Arrive between 12pm and 3pm on Saturday 15th August. You get to relax, connect and play until we meet in the late afternoon, for our welcoming circle, dinner and sound healing session before having an early night.

FINISH:~ Late morning/midday on Wednesday 19th August 2026, following our closing circle. 

LOCATION: 

The Summit will be in Ubud, in the arts, cultural and spiritual hub of Bali, Indonesia.

The EPIC venue is SOULSHINE BALI RESORT, owned by Michael and Sara Franti who are known for their  music and humanitarianism.

What's YOUR change making jam and how are you bringing it to this space?

What is The Summit?

It is a collaboration of women who are co-creating this event back, support, encourage and celebrate one another, while using this as our playground for expansion.

We have a stage, a group of women, a POWERFUL space and the scene is set for YOU to skyrocket here!! 

This is a celebration of our work and the paths that have created it. As a leader of change, make THIS your playground!

Day times are for relaxation, sharing, hearing from and engaging with some of the BEST, and connecting. Our evenings are for celebration, music and EPIC events.

Our first day is for play, connection and grounding ourselves on the land we are on, before our adventure really kicks off!

Direct impact means that we are spending our first night with Balinese/Indonesian women. This is their land and we have a unique opportunity to learn from and truly connect with them. Dressed traditionally, we will share in local culture, sit in circle, eat and dance together.

Our third evening hosts the 55 FACES International book launch and a broader audience will celebrate alongside us. 55 FACES entails two books, collectively sharing the words, wisdom and lives of 115 women, including African and Indigenous women. 

Our fourth and final night is our Gala Under The Stars, recognition and awards for women seen in the way they are impacting others. As the sun sets over our lawn and fairy light decked set up, we will enjoy live music and a band.

You can expect fun, playful vibes, lots of togetherness, creativity and a deep sense of possibility throughout your The Aspire Summit experience.

"Attending the Summit was a truly breathtaking and inspiring experience. Being surrounded by such supportive, empowering women was incredibly uplifting. The event was a powerful celebration of womanhood, where I learned so much from the diverse stories, wisdom, and strength of each participant. 

It was a life-changing experience that left me feeling deeply connected to a global community of women who uplift and inspire one another. Connecting with my African sisters was definitely a highlight. This summit not only enriched my understanding but also ignited a newfound passion for empowering others and advocating for positive change".

Hey there, 

I’m Michelle and I created The Aspire Series in early 2019 after many years worth of facilitation, social work and coaching experience. It is a channel for what I wanted created in the world and how I could best serve.

I love creating and sharing people centred and heart connected change, especially through lived experience and story. The stuff that shifts us beyond our limits and has us realise what is possible for ourselves, our communities and the world. 

I firmly believe that we are here not only for ourselves, but to be both a beacon and soft landing place for others, and to leave the world better through being here. 

The best bit is that there are things we can do in every moment to contribute, with every act and way of observing our world confirming this. 

I'm excited to guide and co-create with you. 

Are you ready for our change and impact adventure?

YES?

Our 2026 Performers for our Gala Under The Stars will be named in early 2026!!

 

Excited and Ready to Join Us?

 CO – CREATION

Co-creation is fundamental to much of Aspire! This Summit is co – created. If you WANT the opportunity, it is HERE for you to facilitate, speak, or perform. On confirming your place at The Summit, you are invited to  apply and let’s see what magic we can weave through one another. You are encouraged to let this be your playground, to be bold and STEP into the EPIC landing space we have here. 

You are attending The Summit as a leader in your own right and become MORE of one by taking opportunities to BE one, so you get to be inventive and show us what you’ve got. What would you lead, speak about or facilitate if you had your chance to do so at The Summit? What would you ABSOLUTELY LOVE to offer? How could you stretch yourself a little beyond what you’ve done before and trusting that you will land safely.

Applications are open to those who register for The Summit by the 31st of July 2026.
