This retreat is about exploring and getting to know yourself, not specifically Bali. We have especially chosen Bali for its spiritual energy, natural beauty and this specific venue for it’s secluded location. If you desire to see more of Bali please add days either side of the retreat. We suggest you take the opportunity to spend some time in either ubud or around kuta to see more of the sights. You can contact Greg from Travel Utopia who is the travel agent looking after this trip for more ideas and options regarding extending your trip.

  • Keep in mind that although we have a retreat schedule we will be working with the flow and speed of Bali so there may be unforeseeable reasons that require us to make changes to the itinerary.

 

Summary:

 

This retreat is going to create a real opportunity for women to unplug, have fun and reconnect with themselves. There is no prerequisite to come other than an open heart and mind. If you feel inspired, excited or moved to join us for a week then please contact us for more information.
