Held by the spirit of Bali and nourished by its ancient devotion, this retreat is more than just time away, it’s a sacred invitation to realign, remember and reawaken the essence of who you truly are.
Journey Into the Heart of Bali
Bali holds such a special place in my heart. From its lush landscapes and vibrant temples to the devotion and rhythm of daily life, the island is alive with a magic that nourishes the soul. I am deeply inspired by the wisdom of the Balinese Hindu culture & it's ceremonies, offerings, and connection to nature.
This retreat is my way of sharing that love for the island & the transformative power of yoga and meditation with you. I have journeyed these sacred practices in Bali many times, and it is with such honor I have chosen to share them with others. Over 7 days, we will journey together through the five elements of earth, air, fire, water and space, guided through carefully themed practices such as yoga, meditation and sacred rituals. Each day will guide you gently back to yourself, held by the spirit of Bali and the rhythm of the island.
This experience is more than just a retreat, this is an invitation to slow down, awaken, and reconnect with the essence of who you truly are.
