Highlights of our retreat include:

• Yoga, Meditation, Workshop Sessions:  During our retreat in Bali, we'll embark on a transformative journey through yoga sessions that promise to deepen our connection with ourselves. Each session will be meticulously crafted to harmonize body, mind, and spirit, guiding us towards inner peace and self-discovery.

Led by Nancy or Vivian, these sessions will not only enhance our physical well-being but also cultivate mindfulness and presence, anchoring us in the present moment.  

• In the afternoons, we'll delve into the serene practice with meditation, immersing ourselves in the stillness within. Through guided meditations, we'll learn to quiet the chatter of the mind, allowing us to access deeper layers of awareness and insight. These moments of stillness will serve as gateways to self-exploration, enabling us to uncover our true essence and connect with our inner wisdom.
