Retreat Details
Each day will be a combination of the inner work of going deep together (journaling, storytelling, yoga, sharing)
and the outer adventures of experiencing Bali, the lush beauty and ritual everywhere. In addition to all of this, each day will also contain opportunities to just be (to relax, get massages, read a good book, etc.) Everyday will also have optional morning yoga or movement at Naya, as well as optional evening activities downtown Ubud.
May 8 Day 1: Waking Up to Being Co-Creative Playmates We will arrive at Naya Ubud at or after 2pm for checkin. On this day relax by the pool, unpack, and we will have our group dinner around 6pm. At 7pm we will meet for our first official gathering, forming this powerful pod of loving women. (Please note: For those of you planning your trip, it is ideal to arrive in Bali a few days prior to the 21st in order to get adjusted to the time change and spend some time at a beach in Southern Bali). |
May 9 Day 2: Waking Up to Your Body & Being Authentically You This day will start with some optional morning yoga, followed by a mini workshop on authenticity and waking up to your body. We will then explore the beauty of Ubud together on foot. Downtown Ubud is just a 7 minute drive from Naya. With cameras in hand, we will be adventuring together and discovering the sights, sounds, and smells of vibrant Bali. Andrea will lead us through a playful photography exploration as we get to know the landscape of Ubud - her rice paddies, stunning people, and exotic nature. In the afternoon, there will be an optional adventure to a stunning spa to soak in the warm pools, dip in the cold plunges, and swim in the natural fed spring water pools as we gaze at the majestic river gorge. |
May 10 Day 3: Waking Up to What You Really Want & Intuition This day will begin with some optional ecstatic dance, followed by a workshop on getting in touch with your true desires and growing your intuition. Then we will journey 30 minutes outside of Ubud to the Holy Water Temple. This is a powerful temple where we will open to the healing of these sacred waters -- cleansing us of what we are ready to release and supporting us in welcoming in the new. After lunch we will enjoy free time to book massages or relax by the pool at Naya. |
May 11 Day 4: Waking Up to Joy & Celebration This will be a day of celebration at one of the most beautiful beaches in all of Bali -- White Sands Beach. This beach is about a 90 minute journey from Ubud to Southeastern Bali... and it is worth the drive. Relax by the ocean, get a massage on the sand, enjoy the beauty all around you, and play in the clear blue waters. We will enjoy a fresh fish and veggie lunch at the ocean. Optional evening activities at the Yoga Barn. |
May 12 Day 5: A Day of Healing This will be a day of exploring what needs healing in your life. We all face challenges. We all need healing. One of the most revered healers in Bali is the High Priestess. On this day we will take a journey to visit the High Priestess. We will meditate with her and receive her holy water blessing. In the afternoon we will have free time and integrate. Then in the early evening we will have a group circle to debrief our powerful experiences, share stories, and connect. |
May 13 Day 6: Waking Up to Play, Creativity & Your Senses This day will start with optional morning yoga, followed by creativity time where we will draw, paint, and make art. We will then venture to the Monkey Forest in the heart of Ubud, learning from these nutty primates how to get into our natural ability to play. After the Monkey Forest we will have time to shop and explore Ubud - the fabrics, colors, and incredible art. In the evening, we will take you on a surprise outing that will blow your socks off. |
May 14
Day 7: Waking Up to Gratitude, Appreciation & Reflection Our final day of the retreat we will be generating a bounty of gratitude and appreciation as we sit together in circle one final time. We may be completing this journey together, but this is just the beginning of a greater journey - you living fully, joyfully and authentically you, with the support of this incredible group of women. Check out of Naya is at 11am. |
