Accommodation
You will stay for two nights in Sanur, a beach town, then three nights on Gili Meno, a beautiful tiny island with no motorized traffic! Surrounded by clear water and sea turtles. Then five nights in the south Bali area in a luxurious retreat center, including a trip to the artistic and yoga town of Ubud (where Eat, Pray, Love was filmed). You will have double rooms (two in each room) for most or all accommodations, so you will not have to share rooms with several people.
Program
The theme for this retreat will be balancing our energy: body and spirit, masculine and feminine, balanced eating and drinking, work and play, speaking and listening. The Balinese people have a strong focus on balance and harmony amidst this world of polarity and duality. They even feel we need to balance our “good” and “evil” energies! We will explore this idea, among other related topics.
