In the lush embrace of Goa’s monsoon season, something rare and powerful unfolded: 400 women gathered: not to escape their lives, but to finally return to themselves.
Held at Novotel Goa Dona Sylvia Resort, the Energy Queens Retreat - ASCENSION 2025 led by coach Ritu Agarwal, offered participants an opportunity for personal reflection and renewal.
The retreat was part of a the — a coaching initiative developed by Ritu Agarwal, aimed at supporting women in addressing emotional challenges, self-doubt, and societal limitation. It focused on the idea that shifts in personal energy can influence broader aspects of life.
A Journey That Didn’t Begin With a Plan — But With a Pause
Ritu Agarwal’s journey began with a personal calling rather than an intention to start a larger initiative. Raised in a traditional Marwari home, she balanced the responsibilities of motherhood with various part-time pursuits such as selling jewellery, teaching Montessori -- quietly handling responsibilities beyond what was visible.
Her shift began quietly in 2010, during her involvement with Bharat Soka Gakkai (BSG), a spiritual organization. What began as a personal journey gradually evolved into a broader focus: to help women who give everything to everyone… finally give themselves a chance.. Backed by a Master’s in Psychology and certifications from global icons like Jack Canfield, T. Harv Eker, Dr John DeMartini and Dr. Joe Vitale, She began supporting other women in building confidence and taking more active roles in shaping their own paths.
Energy Over Effort: A Feminine Philosophy of Success
Ritu’s philosophy is simple — but reflects a different way of thinking:
“You don’t need to push harder. You need to vibrate higher.”
She states, “that success isn’t born from exhaustion—it’s born from energetic alignment.”
Her morning practice—centering on silence, affirmations, visualization, movement, reading, and scripting—has become a widely followed rhythm in her community, helping women stabilize themselves before they serve the world.
Rather than focusing solely on external goals, her approach encourages women to learn to regulate their emotions, heal hidden blocks, and attract success from a place of peace—not pressure.
ASCENSION 2025: Healing, Sisterhood, and a Shift in Identity
What happened in Goa wasn’t just inspiration — it was a space for reflection and personal development. Women arrived with stories they rarely shared out loud — burnout, rejection, invisible labor, imposter syndrome. Through group activities, reflective practices, and shared connection, a gradual shift began to take place.
They didn’t walk out with new titles.
They walked out remembering who they were beneath all the roles.
The retreat included structured activities, reflective exercises, movement, and periods of silence. Ritu’s supportive and steady presence helped facilitate the group experience.
The biggest shift? Not in their resumes — but in how they saw themselves.
“This wasn’t about becoming someone new,” said one participant. “It was about finally becoming the woman I was always trying to be.”
Siddharth Rajsekar Joins as Mentor, Speaker, and Catalyst
Adding an to the event was a keynote from Siddharth Rajsekar, a digital mentor and founder of the Internet Lifestyle Hub (ILH) — a platform that supports individuals monetize their knowledge through online communities.
For Ritu, Siddharth wasn’t just a guest — he was the reason she believed she could start at all.
“He saw the version of me I hadn’t met yet,” she said. “He gave me a blueprint, but more than that, belief.”
In his session, Siddharth shared his six-step model for expansion — intention, decision, surrender, purpose, consistency, connection.
An Approach Focused on Personal Growth and Practical Outcomes
Through her company, I Deserve Life Systems LLP, and the Energy Queens Hub platform, Ritu has helped over 50,000 women shift from survival to self-leadership — from homemakers to healers, from professionals to purposeful entrepreneurs.
She envisions a future where more women find a new way of leading, a new way of living.
One where women no longer ask for permission.
One where leadership doesn’t feel like a fight.
One where power is not loud — but luminous.
Because when a woman realigns her energy…
the world around her begins to rise too.
