Bali Retreat August 12-19 2024
WHAT IS THE SURRENDER EXPERIMENT?
It is in the surrender that we rediscover ourselves... our true selves, not the version we've gotten really good at "playing."
To surrender is to detach from all you've ever known. To be uprooted and unravelled.
To rediscover yourself & be reconnected to who you are.
To be re-birthed but as your whole self. Your true self.
It's where we harness intuition in a way that reconstructs our entire life as we know it.
What makes this retreat different from the market is that it is not based around the general tourist experience, nor is it strict on structure. Instead we have designed this retreat to favour flow and ease, where your experiences will nourish your soul and a space is offered for self discovery and healing.
Many of these retreats sold in Bali offer an 'eat pray love' experience but are heavily commercialised... and worst of all, generalised! The itineraries are jam packed, the travel destinations are touristy & over populated and there is very little effort to involve or contribute to the livelihood of the locals.
We want you to see and experience the beauty of Bali as we did. We have connected with local Balinese healers that you won’t be able to book on a travel website and Balinese locals who are excited to share with you their culture, heritage & ancient practices. You will feel very exclusive and taken care of so you can just focus on your own journey.
We have carefully curated experiences that integrate healing and self discovery within the activities so it would not be something you could experience completely alone or a guided tour. This retreat is special. This retreat is for YOU.
This retreat combines the tranquility of wellness activities like yoga and meditation with the richness of Balinese culture and natural beauty.
You will be immersed in local experiences, connect with your inner self and leave with a deeper sense of wellbeing and wholeness.
I get it..
Life feels chaotic. You’ve got a million things to do, people depending on you, an image to uphold & responsibilities that you can’t just ‘drop the ball on.’
But what if that’s exactly what you need… and you’re just too afraid to surrender?
The surrendered life: a life detached from the worries & concerns of small-minded living. Open to the leading of the soul & surrendered to the flow of life.
Late last year I found myself being called to 'surrender' and it came with an invitation from inside of me to "go to South East Asia".
I couldn't explain the feeling- all I knew was I had to go.
I had a ‘successful’ business and life was okay… it wasnt amazing, but it was good enough.
Yet… deep inside, it felt like something was calling me.
Have you ever felt that? An inner knowing? A leading from the inside calling you to just. Surrender your plans… and go?
After a few months of deliberating and swinging from feeling terrified to feeling intrigued... I finally booked my ticket. Not only that, I decided I was going to uproot my life and REALLY surrender.
Everyone thought I was nuts... so did I (to be honest).
Little did I know it at the time... but I had just said yes to an experience that would change my life.
It was the beginning of a self re-discovery journey that led me down a path of healing, re-connection to myself (that I didn’t know I’d lost) and a re-alignment to my purpose in life.
After this experience, I felt refreshed, grounded and at peace from the inside out. I no longer needed my life to look like everybody else’s and I was no longer attached to the validation of anybody else… no job title… income bracket or accomplishment could ever take the place of truly feeling whole.
And this is what The Surrender Experiment will do for you
And now it's your turn…
There is a call to surrender for all of us…
It's up to us when and IF we will respond.
If we are brave enough to respond;
who knows just what will be on the other side?
Maybe its a happier, healthier & more liberated version of ourselves?
Maybe its shameless, unapologetic permission to follow the path that lights us up?
Maybe its finally being confident in that gift, that business idea or that calling and to believe you are worthy of it?
Say yes & surrender, to stop living in the shadows & finally step into the next era of your life.
This experience is not for everybody - but if youre reading this you probably resonate with my story. Maybe you’ve felt a tug leading you to uproot and explore what else is out there for you? Maybe you’ve been feeling discontent yet unsure about exactly what and this retreat has landed in your lap?
THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENCE.
