Awaken in Bali
Two Transformational Retreats in Paradise
Your soul has been waiting for this.
Step away from the noise of everyday life and into a sacred container where your healing, expansion, and deep remembrance become priority. Whether you're craving spiritual clarity, emotional release, or divine inspiration, these retreats offer more than just a getaway—they are initiations back to your truest self.
Bali, known as the “Island of the Gods,” holds a unique energetic resonance: grounding, feminine, and deeply mystical. For those ready to receive, it awakens something ancient and powerful within.
This year, you’re invited to two distinct retreat experiences, each crafted with intention, grace, and heart.
“A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.”
— Oliver Wendell Holmes
The Nest Re-imagined
Oct 10-17, 2025
The Nest Reimagined: A Soulful Retreat for Life After Letting Go
There comes a moment—quiet, tender, and often unexpected—when the house falls still. The rhythm changes. The doors don’t open and close with the same urgency. And in that silence, something sacred stirs: space. Space not just in the home, but in the heart.
The Nest Reimagined is a retreat crafted for those standing at the threshold of life after raising children—those who have given deeply, loved fiercely, and now find themselves wondering: What now? Who am I, beyond the role I’ve so faithfully played?
Set in a tranquil and nurturing landscape, this retreat invites you to pause, exhale, and rediscover yourself in the quiet beauty of your next chapter. Through guided meditations, sacred Balinese ceremony, nourishing Shakti yoga, transformational breathwork, and meaningful conversations with those also walking the path, we’ll explore how to honour what has been, grieve what is changing, and open fully to what wants to emerge.
This is not an ending. It’s an unfolding.
A homecoming to yourself.
A reawakening of dreams long set aside.
A celebration of the vast and vibrant life still waiting to be lived.
Come gather with kindred spirits. Reimagine your nest—not as empty, but as full of possibility.
Pilgrimage of the Heart
oct 30-nov 6, 2025
There comes a time in life when something deeper begins to stir beneath the surface—an ache for more honesty, more intimacy, more meaning. Not more success or achievement, but more realness. More connection. More soul. If you’ve felt that inner pull—the quiet invitation to step out of the noise and remember who you truly are—this is your time.
Pilgrimage of the Heart is a sacred, transformative retreat in Bali for those ready to come home to themselves. It’s not just a pause from the busyness of life; it’s a return to what’s essential. Inspired by the spirit of Eat, Pray, Love, this journey is for those longing for more depth in their relationships—not just with others, but with life itself.
Set on the mystical and deeply spiritual island of Bali, this retreat weaves together ancient practices and joyful presence, creating space for both healing and celebration. Whether you are moving through a transition, healing from something tender, or simply feeling the desire to awaken more fully, this is an invitation to reconnect—with your breath, your body, your truth, and your joy.
Each day will guide you through practices that open and align the heart: grounding meditations, transformative breathwork, and Shakti-based yoga that awakens the life force within you. We’ll gather in circle, share sacred stories, receive traditional Balinese blessings, and allow the land and the community to gently mirror back our wholeness.
There will be time for quiet reflection and deep rest—massages, nourishing meals, and integration. And there will be time for joy—dancing under the stars, laughter around the table, and moments of spontaneous celebration that remind us that aliveness is a spiritual practice, too.
This experience is open to all genders, identities, and backgrounds. It is for the human heart—tender, fierce, wise, and longing to be remembered. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need to be "healed" or “ready.” You only need to be willing to show up—with honesty, curiosity, and the desire to live more fully aligned with who you truly are.
Surrounded by Bali’s sacred temples, lush nature, and ancestral wisdom, you’ll be held in a space of deep reverence and radical permission—to soften, to rise, to reclaim, to celebrate.
When you leave, you won’t just carry memories. You’ll carry the quiet knowing that something has changed within you. That you’ve returned to your center. That you are living, breathing, loving from your heart again.
This is the journey back to you.
The one your soul has been asking for.
We’ll meet you in Bali.
This Is Not Just a Retreat. It’s a Return.
