A Journey to the Heart ~ A Women’s embodiment, bhakti, remembrance and ritual immersion in North Bali
A week to remember the essence of your heart
3~10 November 2024
Led by Rachel~ Ray of Light Yoga , Ruth ~ My Yoga Space, Jaz ~ Jazmine Whealthey Yoga & Ally ~ Woonona Shala
We extend a heartfelt invitation to join us for seven deeply guided days of divine retreating in the north of Bali. This retreat will allow you to embrace your inner wisdom and intuitive power, connect with your heart as you open it to new depths of authenticity and joy, and tap into your creativity as you step fully into the wholeness of your life.
You will be embraced by a nurturing circle of women united in exploring the Divine Feminine's embodied and creative essence. Our daily offerings, including yoga, workshops, kirtan, circle, sound medicine, nourishing meals, nature walks, spa treatments, and ample rest, invite you to soften, restore, and reconnect with your heart and Feminine Being. Immerse yourself in the gentle rhythms of the ocean and land, merging with the natural world as you journey inward.
Bali's healing energy will support you and rejuvenate you amidst its wondrous beauty. Surrender to the freedom and fullness that blossoms when you let go of constant doing, allowing your heart to fully embrace the state of simply being.
Why the heart
Like a garden, the heart requires regular tending and nurturing to blossom fully. In the realm of Yoga, the heart, particularly the light that dwells within it, becomes a sanctuary we aspire to enter, where the wisdom of the heart can be awakened and embraced. Unlike the mind, which relies on information to understand, the heart reveals itself through surrender, trust, and joy. The heart's power can realign us with our deepest desires, enabling us to rediscover our authenticity and true selves. The heart is a transformative space where we can turn poison into nectar and open a gateway to perceive the world through the lens of love and tenderness.
This immersion invites women to gather and embark on a graceful journey of inner softening, leading to a path abundant with joy and wisdom.
ON THIS 7-DAY IMMERSION, WE WILL SPEND OUR DAYS:
KIRTAN & BHAKTI
Ignite the resonance of joy by engaging in devotional practices, ritual, prayer, and communal gatherings. We will explore the power of devotion and voice through mantra chanting, a practice that fosters a connection to the sacred within yourself, others, and life.
CELEBRATION & CEREMONY
Throughout this immersion, we embrace carefully curated ceremony as a sacred passage into the depths of the heart space. Through ritual & ceremonial practices, we honour Bali's rich culture and old ways. By aligning ourselves with the natural rhythms of life, we intentionally open ourselves up to the heart's desires. Here, we invite healing, forge connections, foster growth, and find alignment.
We engage in fire ceremony {puja} to kindle the sacred flame within our hearts. We symbolically release burdens, fears, and limitations, allowing them to be consumed by the fire's transformative energy. As the flames dance and crackle, we open ourselves to collective new beginnings, inviting in blessings and heart-led intentions.
The Balinese water ceremony, also known as Melukat, is deeply rooted in the island's rich cultural and spiritual traditions. It is a purification ritual that
cleanses the body, mind, and spirit of tensions, negative energies, and blockages, creating space for inner peace, harmony, and rejuvenation.
CODES OF THE FEMININE
We will work with the supportive energies of the Goddess’s Durgā, Lakshmi, and Sarasvatī Mā to access Truth and awaken courage, inner strength, generosity, the transformative power of Love and wisdom.
IMMERSION IN NATURE
Spend a week in North Bali, the land of the Gods, where majestic views, simplicity, and lush greenery await. Immerse yourself in healing waters, embark on Shakti walks, and discover both inner and outer spaciousness amidst the serene beauty of nature. Encounter playful dolphins dancing in the waves, as you reconnect with the earth's abundant energies and rejuvenate your spirit.
One morning, bathed in the gentle glow of dawn's first light, we embark on a boat ride with a seasoned local fisherman watching the sky transform into shades of pink and orange.
DAILY EMBODIMENT & YOGA PRACTICES
Explore the nourishment and vitality of somatic and breath-centric movement and embodiment practices, guiding you to land into the home of your body. Culture an authentic connection with your unique inner rhythm and the pulse of your Life Force. Discover how movement can be medicine and a gateway to hearing and feeling your heart’s inner wisdom, your intuition and creative essence. Through developing the skill of interoception, moving and breathing with generosity and care you will bring release and spaciousness into your body and heart-mind field.
SOUND MEDICINE
Here we experience the quality of deep embodied rest and palpable replenishment for the body, heart space and mind.
Sound medicine is a modality that has been used throughout time to support the healing processes within the physical, energetic and spiritual body.
The resonant vibrations of sound have a profound capacity to reach the cells of the body aiding the body's natural healing process and shifting brainwaves to access states of meditation or rest whilst rebalancing the nervous system.
Sound is channeled consciously to create a safe wholesome container supporting you in remembering the felt sense of stillness, spaciousness, receptivity and your innate wholeness.

These practices are offered to provide a safe container for you to remember your wholeness and a felt sense of Being as opposed to needing to fix, heal or change parts of yourself.
Develop a deeper connection with your body of sound - your subtle energy body - assisting you to connect with higher awareness states, your body’s intelligence and the deep wisdom of our heart energy.
NOURISHING FOOD
Nourish your body and senses with wholesome Indonesian and western-influenced dishes. All meals are lovingly prepared by the Balinese chef providing largely vegetarian dishes with the freshest ocean fish and produce right from their organic gardens.
With a selection of teas, balinese coffee, cocoa available and the perfect backdrop of the Pacific Ocean and Balinese breeze to accompany each day’s dining experience.
