When you decide to embark on a journey I always think of this powerful quote by a great author – from the book the “Alchemist”...

“Sometimes, you have to travel a long way to find what is near. When the rain returns to earth it brings with it things of the air. The magical and the extraordinary are with me, and with everyone in the Universe all the time, but sometimes we forget and need to be reminded, even if we have to cross the largest continent in the world from one side to the other. We return laden with treasures that might end up getting buried again, and then we will have to set off once more in search of them. That’s what makes life interesting – believing in treasures and in miracles.” Paulo Coelho

The retreat will take us to two areas of Bali that are closest to the majority of important temples and sacred sites. We will delve into the discovery of self love in a way that you will feel it ! We will start our Journey at the Nirarta Awareness Center in Sideman at the footsteps of the Agung Volcano. Surrounded by rice terraces, with the mystical view of the ancient and sacred Agung Volcano in Eastern Bali, the landscape dotted by authentic villages – here we will enter into a deeper dimension of healing and spiritual practice. During this retreat 3 healing experiences are included, a private session with Laura Fernandez, a traditional Balinese Massage and an energy healer session. The Nirarta Center provides a sacred space with modern villas, a restaurant offering a variety of meals including a selection from there own organic gardens. Meals can be vegetarian, vegan or non-vegetarian- an experience of the foods of Bali. There is a beautiful Yoga Shala set on a the hills overlooking the river below in the valley -across with mountains topped with sacred temples. In the workshops, you will come to a better understanding of yourself : your strengths, weakness, threats, and how others effect your life… and there will be a liberation to be who you really are! This process will allow you to bring more joy into your life! We will  align mind and spirit with our bodies and receive healing. Past trauma, subconscious experiences, and emotions will surface and be released. In this deep work you will be supported individually as well as in daily group sessions as part of our workshop on self love for a profound transformation – into your own self love realization.

For 5 nights, Oct 10 – 15 …we will stay at these lovely villas that are part of the Nirarta Center of Awareness, and enjoy a very a sacred space, walk through the rice fields, enjoy your inner child, and fill your soul with blessings. You will experience Bali the way it was 100 years ago, hill speckled with little traditional villages and terraced land, and perhaps this is the way most of us dream of this ancient land of Bali when we close our eyes. It still exits, but only in a few places are left like this on the Island. We will have the opportunity to also receive special blessings from the High Priestess of Sideman Village, a special and rare opportunity.

Near Sideman are also several important small temples, and we will visit the one at the highest point on the volcano. This temple affords a gorgeous view all the way to the east ocean on a clear day.

Bali Dharma is the modern belief of the Balinese people which is a mixture of the original Bali Aga an animistic belief where every stone and plant has a spirit, together with the Hindu beliefs which were brought during the pilgrimages from India, and Buddhism – thanks to the Nirarta, the first Buddhist teacher to reach Bali. This combination of beliefs on Bali makes Bali one of the most exotic cultures in the world today. Instead of shunning other beliefs they took the best of each and blended them in a way that brings harmony to the culture and the land.

To support the local villages and the effort of the Nirarta Center to preserve the arts and culture of Bali, one evening, we will be entertained by authentic local village dancers and musicians – these artists are not the ones trained for the tourists – as a special authentic cultural treat. This donation is a great help to the local villages to motivate and support the spirit of Bali – one of the most exotic cultures on our planet.

After our stay in Sideman, we will travel by car to Ubud. On the way to the artist village of Ubud to the Art Villa , we will make a tour of the Volcanoes area, and visit the Mother temple – over 1,000 years old. Temple Besakih is the most important Temple in Bali.

In Ubud, we will stay at Luxury Villa complex the Art Villa, from Oct 15 – 18 for 3 nights. Here we will continue with the private sessions, and visit a Balinese healer with a remarkable gift. We will visit one of the most unusual temples in Bali and have a blessing at Tira Ampule – the Water Temple. This blessing is at an energy transforming sacred site near Ubud. Afterwards, there will be time to visit nearby artisan villages and Ubud itself is an amazing place for finalizing your trip with treasures to bring home.

In the traditional Balinese Massage various techniques are used to remove blocks in the body. Releasing these blocks is one of the most healing experiences I have ever had. Blocks can appear at any time during your life, can be caused by accidents, poor diet, inadequate exercise or other emotional traumas, separation, or loss of a loved one. Blocks exist on so many levels. Yogi Bahjan, told us about cellular memory blocks, and how the food we eat plays an important role in what is going on in our body and our lives. Releasing blocks helps to loose weight or increase flexibility, and that will also prevent illness and injury as we age. If you would like additional treatments, it is possible to schedule treatments as additional to the program. 

“I have seen in my Yoga classes – that many people – even very young people could not do certain Yoga postures no matter how long they tried; and given my own personal experience of working with Balinese healers to release cellular memory, and increase energy in parts of the body, in particular using the flow through the meridians and blood channels – I have been able to reach a level of flexibility rare even in long time Yoga Practitioners – even after a very harsh car accident, and I am also was a x-chronic asthmatic before I changed my diet, and started to practice Yoga regularly. This type of body work changes your metabolism and can prevent aneurysms. its absolutly amazing!”
