This holistic retreat is taking place deep in the Jungles of Ubud. The retreat returns in 2024 after four years of collective and global change we all retreated with. I am delighted to return to Villa Selat with you, for this physical, spiritual and soul detox. We will work with Yoga movement practices, meditation, and holistic water ceremonies as purification forms to celebrate the beginning of the Northern Hemisphere Spring Cycle. Our hosts in Ubud have striked a balance between modern retreat life and a personal time with nature.
Beautiful adventures await you, we visit the rice fields, local communities, healers join us at the Villa for body work and quiet nights out in Ubud for dinner and a peaceful wander. Bali is known for her energetic ability to facilitate karmic cleansing. The Balinese way of life is a daily practice through the water temples, receiving blessings and giving offerings, and so visiting this island and being part of this way of life have left me in deep ground of gratitude, joy and trust that we are all deeply connected and part of each other's stories.

THE YOGA
All practices will be taught by Liz, who shares a decade of yoga asana experience and teachings. She is a former division one college tennis athlete and has a deep interest in the well being of the holistic body.
The physical forms of Yoga will be the centre of the week, with movement and sitting practices being tools to connect with the subtle layers, and using the five elemental model of Tibetan Buddhism allows a support system that is applicable and unique to each student's experience and practice.
The week is also filled with mantras, temple visits and evening storytelling under the moonlight.
All sessions will be insightful and intelligently planned and placed towards each element and part of your Yoga practice. Liz is a (E-500RYT) teacher, and transpersonal language and life coach. She lives as a Nomad after Covid, teaching retreats around the world, and offers 1:1 online sessions and master classes.
