Marathon Therapy in Bali  

  

What is Marathon Therapy? 

This kind of therapy is like running a marathon for your soul. You focus on the issues that are holding you back. You do not give up. You remain determined to finish the work that you know you must do. You courageously look at the things that are blocking your happiness: old fears, insecurities, grief and sadness, issues of betrayal, rejection, abandonment, old negative beliefs of not being good enough or not being loveable, all pain and sorrow, anger and resentment. You identify your patterns and the lessons you are here to learn. You do the work of releasing, letting go and surrendering to the Universe. You learn ways to change for your highest good.  

You receive one-on-one psychological therapy for 3 hours every day for 6 days. Between sessions you rest, release, rejuvenate and restore. You can swim in the beautiful waters of the Bali Sea. You may want a healing massage. Or maybe you need to sleep or write in your journal. Of course you may want to visit some of the surrounding places (and one excursion will be included in the therapy). 

This is a very personalised approach. Your sessions can be designed in any way you want: one hour in the morning and 2 hours in the late afternoon (or vice versa); one and a half hours, twice a day; or a block of 3 hours at one time. Whatever best suits you. And it can change from day to day depending on how you feel and what you are dealing with. 

 

Who is it for? 

Marathon Therapy is for anyone who is ready to deal with their issues and wants to dedicate time and money to the process.  

It is for those who feel ready to go the distance with their soul and bring healing to the parts that need it. 

It is for those who have tried therapy before but feared going too deep during the limited hour session. Holding back, not wanting to touch the pain, avoiding tears, are common in therapy when you know you have to face work colleagues or family afterwards. Marathon Therapy gives you the space and time to heal free of constraints. 

Why Bali? 

Bali is a place of high spiritual energy and is perfect for getting in touch with your soul.  

Amed is still undeveloped and has a quaintness and peacefulness that is not found elsewhere in Bali (or the world). 

Om Shanti sits on a hill in Amed overlooking the Bali Sea. It has been created with love and holds a beautiful feminine energy (soft, gentle, warm and caring) that makes it conducive for counselling. 

Each day you will walk to Om Shanti for your sessions. Between sessions you return to your accommodation or go on an outing (you can organise extra excursions with Barb) or just chill out at the beach. 

 

Cost: $2000 (Australian dollars) 

What is included? 

*18 hours of therapy 

*Transfers (in private air-conditioned car) from the Airport to Amed and Amed to the airport (or any other place in Bali if you choose to stay longer). 

*3 healing massages by Ketut, a local Balinese Elder. 

*One pedicure or manicure by Iluh 

*And your choice of one of the following excursions:  

·         a visit to the Sacred Springs
