Let your creativity come alive in Bali !
Come play by the blue sea and the green rice fields of Bali and get inspired by the beauty around you.
I am inviting you for a 7 Day Yoga and Creativity immersion meant to bring joy and aliveness into your body, heart, and soul.
Through yoga practices, creative activities, cultural experiences and connection with nature, you will be able to tap into your creative energy and release blockages so you can bring transformation into your life, and express yourself from a deeper place.
You will leave inspired and curious to explore more of your creative potential in your daily life.
“I didn’t expect that this combination of activities like yoga, dancing, painting, and meditation would make me experience so many emotions, and bring me in a place where I could feel connected at a very different level. Amazing!” – Diana
Come explore, experiment, and open up your creative channels!
Your day will be a blend of movement and creative activities which will stimulate your senses and nourish your soul, relaxing time, and exploration of Balinese culture and nature.
The yoga sessions based on the classic Hatha Yoga style will be adapted to the level of the group so everybody will feel welcome and comfortable practicing together.
The creative workshops are suited for everybody and selected with care so that at the end of this journey you will go back home with a wonderful collection of pieces you have created with your own hands.
No technical skills or previous artistic experience are needed for this journey. This creative journey is about exploring being more present in the creative process, more present with life and with yourself.
It is not about creating beautiful things but about finding beauty in what we create and within ourselves.
"Art is the vital expression of self." – Alfred Steiglitz⠀

“ Return to Creativity was just a beautiful name given to what soon unveiled itself to be a raw, brave, vulnerable, and joyful experience. We were invited to explore feelings, energies, and all their physical embodiments. We laughed, opened up, and noticed our bodies react; we cried and hugged. A complete and ravishing encounter with ourselves and those we were blessed with to join us.”- Laura

Location and Accommodation
We will start our journey with 3 days by the sea in the east part of Bali, in Candidasa,
Nestled in the serenity of its own coconut grove with a private beach perfect for swimming and snorkeling far from the tourist enclaves of the south, our accommodation will be the best place to get settled into the climate and the space and get over the jetlag if you are coming from afar.
There are 5 stylish and comfortable rustic bungalows in an expansive tropical garden, each with an ocean or garden view and easy access to the private beach area. Each bungalow has 2 up to 3 rooms all equipped with double beds which can be used for sharing or single occupancy. Each room is decorated in a different way and has its charm, inviting you to feel just at home.
The large and spacious ocean-facing studio will be our home for the morning yoga practices and the creative workshops during the day. The restaurant is inspired by the traditional flavors of East Bali with produce and ingredients sourced locally from the surrounding area.
Our next 4 days will be spent in Ubud.
Apart from being the Mecca of Yoga and health, Ubud is also the artistic center of Bali. It is a creative vortex abundant in art, culture, and beauty. Balinese people express themselves through arts in their daily life, from the food they serve to the offerings they make for their Hindu Gods. Creating with their hands is a form of meditation and it takes place daily in every household.
Our new accommodation is an eco-resort located 10 minutes outside of Ubud center, in the middle of the rice fields, where the green of the rice fields meets the serenity of the blue sky and the sounds of nature. The retreat has a pool surrounded by a beautiful garden, a hot springs pool suited for watsu treatments, and a sacred stone chamber that is very unique.
The combination of classic design and spaciousness of the modern comfort of the rooms is carefully thought out. The use of up-cycled wood material as part of the interior also helps to build the feel of a comfortable and warm space. There are rooms with twin beds available for sharing or double beds for single occupancy.
