Why going a women only retreat can be soul enriching.

Are you nervous to travel alone?
Going on your first solo travel adventure and traveling alone can be nerve wracking. You know what? That is totally normal, even those of us who are experienced travelers were nervous at some point at the start of our adventures too, and I still get those...
Travel and my mental health
Here's a question for you. Hands up. Who else has highlighted their lives where they have gone traveling to deal with emotional or stressful situations in life? Both hands up for me! I am realizing, especially as we are zooming through 2021, and another...
Is this the end of the big overseas experience?
Is this the end of the big overseas experience as a rite of passage? No matter your age? These are two big questions I’ve been thinking about lately as we enter 2021 with the same uncertainty around international travel that we left behind in 2020. This...
What would you tell your younger self?
What would I tell my younger self? I have been asking myself this question lately. I think the events of this year so far have had me really reassessing things and especially as the big 50 approaches next year. OMG I can barely believe I’m nearly 50! I remember...

FEATURE FEMALE TRAVELER-CISKA Ciska and I first met online through various business and travel groups we were both in. I think we actually first started chatting after I saw she was converting a van into a camper and thought she's my kinda girl. Passionate...

On retreat in Bali we get to do all sorts of activities, like E-Biking through the rice terraces.
It’s a great way to explore and see things from a different perspective, plus it’s loads of fun!
But, you are just as welcome to sit back and chill by your pool. There is no pressure to attend every activity (though it is warmly encouraged).
This is YOUR retreat.
Come join us in Bali in 2024, more info in the bio or reach out to me with any questions.

What is a highlight memory from one of your holidays?
Our Baby Turtle release while on retreat in Bali is definitely one of the highlights for many people.
And we were so fortunate on our last visit to actually be present during a hatching. That was an unforgettable experience!
Memories like that stay with you and are worth more than anything you could buy.

WANDERLUST~what does it mean to you?
"Wanderlust is a strong desire to wander or travel and explore the world.
Wanderlust may reflect an intense urge for self-development by experiencing the unknown, confronting unforeseen challenges, getting to know unfamiliar cultures, ways of life and behaviours or may be driven by the desire to escape.”
#wanderlust #travelforthesoul
Our experiences on retreat are more than just going to do another activity, there is always a deeper meaning to what that experience can give you.
Like our group cooking class.
Eating and cooking together has lots of benefits.
Food brings people together, and an opportunity to share with each other, which builds trust.
Food invites people to gather and allows us to bond with each other.
It is an amazing ice-breaker and a way to communicate and share your day’s adventures and listen to others, plus get to know one another.
Can you remember a fabulous and memorable meal you’ve had in the past?

When was the last time you sent a postcard?
I found all the ones I had sent to my Mother on all my travels, and it brought back wonderful memories, plus knowing she kept them all as treasures.
Go send yourself a postcard. Put on it a reminder to yourself, a favourite quote, or anything that has a special meaning.
Then randomly post it to yourself.
Maybe one better and send one to a friend as a lovely surprise! #postcard

“Happiness is that feeling that comes over you when you know life is good and you can`t help but smile.”
I love seeing the smiles of the guests on retreat.
But not only is it great to see it’s also good for your health!
“Happiness lowers your risk for cardiovascular disease, lowers your blood pressure, enables better sleep, improves your diet, allows you to maintain a normal body weight through regular exercise and reduces stress.”
So come and share your smiles with us. #dowhatmakesyouhappy
While on retreat in Bali we go to the @pyramidsofchi to a sound healing bath, where different sounds wash over you and give each person a very unique individual experience.
We are often also welcome by Peter, who along with his wife Lynn founded the project. Their story is truely inspirational.
What is sound healing?
The rhythm beats and vibrations of the gongs, drums, and Didgeridoo in combination with the scent of the sandalwood and peaceful atmosphere in the Pyramids of Chi reduce ‘beta-wave’ brain waves that dominate aroused conscious thought and increase the intensity of ‘theta-waves’ within the brain, which introduces deep relaxation and increased awareness of inner-self.
What are the benefits?
This is a demonstrable fact, and there has been much research into the benefits of meditation on blood pressure and other stress related conditions. It has also been claimed by various authorities that 20 minutes in a ‘Theta state’ can be equivalent to 3 – 5 hours normal sleep in rejuvenating the body.
Come give it a try and experience it with us.
