You hold the medicine to live your most empowered life.
Living in alignment with your authentic self is a revolutionary way of being. This 6-night retreat, led by Kate McLeay and Bridget Schaeffers, will be a powerful portal for transformation. Through mindful movement, breathwork, sound healing, sacred ceremony, and connection with nature, you’ll anchor into the frequency of the heart and uplevel your tools for clarity, soulful awareness, and vibrant living. Releasing limiting beliefs and outdated stories, so you can truly embrace and celebrate the magic that is you.
Destination
The mystical island of Bali has long been known as a unique place of healing and transformation. Tucked away on the rugged West Coast, lies Bali’s best-kept secret – the charming village of Balian. With a name that means ‘healer’, this secret spot is revered for its sacred waters, postcard sunsets, and laid-back atmosphere. A place where time stands still and the energy of connection and presence is woven through the air.
