OUR PROGRAMS

Join us for an amazing week of mindful reframing, intentional living practices and transformational wellness experiences. These retreats incorporate an enriching 7 days, 6 nights cocooned amongst the picturesque rice terraces of The Shala in Ubud, Bali. Our aim is for you to feel enlivened, rejuvenated and nurtured whilst having a relaxing time in the spiritual hub of beautiful Bali! Daily life will revolve around mindful movement in the yoga Shala over-looking the rice fields, guided meditations, reflective practices, walks in nature, delicious and healthy organic vegetarian meals, body treatments, sacred ceremonies, or relax by the pool and enjoy your escape away from your everyday responsibilities.

We offer 3 signature retreats, that offer you unique insights and deep life transformations, that rotate on an 18 monthly basis.

DR MICHELLE & CAROLINE

We welcome women from all avenues of life, whether this is your first retreat, or you have attended multiple ones. Dr Michelle and Caroline are masterful at holding space and facilitating unique experiences that will support you in creating your intention and gaining clarity. As all activities are optional, you have the choice to enjoy navigating your own path. These retreats are also wonderful for finding nourishment through food, rest, reflection and body treatments, making meaningful connections, and learning new skills that support you living your life to the fullest.
