Retreats in
Bali
*Journey to Your Soul (April
3-8, 2012)
If you want to become aligned
with your soul and fulfil your highest purpose, then this is the workshop for you! Has
your life been so focussed on others that you have lost touch with the deepest part of yourself:
your soul? Would you like to re-connect and make peace with this part of you? Do you sense you need
healing and cleansing of some old patterns, behaviours or
memories?
*Manifesting Your Dreams (April
16-22, 2012)
Is there a dream bursting to come alive
within you? Have you wanted to do something, complete a project or manifest something big in your
life but not known how to start the birthing process? This workshop will empower you
to manifest the dreams within your heart. Even if you don't fully know what these dreams are,
the workshop will help you to listen to the still small voice within and find the passion
that has always been there, often suppressed and
forgotten.

Marathon
Therapy in Bali
An Intensive 6 days. Three hours of
therapy per day. That’s 18 sessions of therapy in 6
days.
Imagine staying in a relaxing, serene
environment, no phones, no family responsibilities, no obligations, no work commitments. Then
imagine having one-on-one sessions with a professional therapist (Psychologist) to help break
through the issues that have been blocking your happiness and success. You can choose to have 1
hour in the morning and 2 hours in the late afternoon or visa versa. It’s your choice. After
therapy sessions, you can relax by a pool, go for a swim or snorkel, or have a massage or pedicure.
It’s up to you. It’s all about seeking your inner guidance, finding yourself again and clearing and
cleansing your total being: body, mind and soul.
