If you're a driven, young professional who's looking to destress, connect with like-minded people, and recharge your batteries with some exotic activity and sporting fun,
then join Amber Gouzy & Tim Villar for 5 days of rejuvenating relaxation and daring exploration in blissful Bali!
Hint: Think playful surfing and Acro yoga under the palm trees. We'll be waiting for you, fresh coconut in hand!
OCT 31 to NOV 4 - 4 SPOTS LEFT (OUT OF 12) APPLY NOW TO JOIN!
As you awaken in your tropical Bali sanctuary, the sun is rising over a volcano on the horizon, and all you can hear is the sweet sound of the birds singing and playing above the infinity rice fields. Another day in paradise!
As the day begins, you feel the exotic pulse and uplifting energy of this legendary "island of the gods." During your savoury breakfast, you exult in its flavoursome food. On visits to the temples you immerse yourself in its grounding, omniscient spirituality.
Later, you laugh with new friends as you enjoy a fresh coconut by the pool, sharing your wins and funny bloopers from the morning surf lesson. And then, still on a high from your first Acro Yoga workshop, you share your excitement and disbelief that you were able to achieve so much together, so quickly. But the time has come for your sensuous, well-deserved massage!
As the afternoon wears on, you take the opportunity to join the mindful Tantra circle, learning and discussing the art of connecting to yourself more deeply than never before.
And finally, gazing at the magnificent, pink-and-purple sunset just above the rice fields, you can hardly believe you’re here… dining under the Balinese stars!
A Typical Day
Journey to ReConnect...
How great would it be to be able to maintain your busy and productive day to day whilst cultivating a healthy body, mind and lifestyle?
Pretty amazing right!
While we’re in Bali, with a wide range of both energy building and grounding movement practices, invigorating outdoor activities and a plethora of delicious vegan meals, you’ll reconnect with your body like never before!
In only a few days, you’ll feel re-energised and ready to reboot your life so you can keep being as busy and as productive as you like without having to worry about burning out!
How good would it be to be able to take time for yourself, whilst staying active and without missing out on all the fun?
Oh-So-Freaking-Good!
Sure, you’ll get to chill on this retreat, maybe get the must do combo of an afternoon massage followed by a fresh coconut by the pool, but we will also “get physical” with a mix of fun sporting activities and culturally infused adventures, you will get to not only deeply de-stress but also be part of all the fun!
Helping you find your right balance so you never get FOMO ever again!
By the end of this retreat you will have found a new sense of excitement and connection with yourself and others, you will have acquired countless tools to nurture presence and grounding that will allow you to find better balance, increase focus, cultivate fun within yourself and feel more in tune in your everyday life.
We guarantee a blissful (and wild) experience, sprinkled with lots of fun and laughter that will recharge your batteries to the max! And… You might even learn to fly!
An unforgettable experience with like minded people that you’ll carry home with you.
A Message from your hosts Amber & Tim
Our Home
For most of us, the mere mention of Bali evokes thoughts of a paradise, putting you instantly in a tropical mood…
And whether you’re a Bali aficionado or new to the island of gods, we’ve picked a spot that we know will leave you speechless.
Stretching between Kerobokan and Echo Beach, you may have heard of cool Canggu (the 'Gu'); full of surf ready waves, hipsters and beach babes. It's where rice field vistas meet volcanic black sand beaches.
More than just a “fun in the sun” type of city, it has this true Bali essence that is hard to describe but you can only feel once you get immersed in it. Canggu encapsulates it all in an irresistible package!
We picked a space located just outside the city, out of the hype, in a laidback area streaked by green rice fields that will offer the perfect sanctuary for us to relax.
Upon entering the gates, you cannot help being captured by a feeling of serenity.
Our 2 villas are entirely designed in white boho Ibiza style.
Nested in a spacious private garden, including a pools and sun decks ideal for yoga; the villas have an open panoramic views of rice fields next door with Agung Volcano (highest volcano in Bali 3031 m) in the horizon inviting you to explore the beautiful and magical island of Bali from your balcony…
Welcome to your little piece of paradise.
We believe that food is a sensory experience made to be enjoyed like no other. This is why we recruited the Chefs from acclaimed Canggu cafe “Living Food Lab” to craft a healthy plant-based, organic and locally sourced menu that will awaken your tastebuds, nourish your body, and boost your gut health;
Our chef is just well versed into creating beautiful and nutritious vegan food inspired by the rich flavours of Bali. Imagine literally eating a healthy rainbow... Think dragonfruit pink smoothie bowls, Mushroom satay with peanut sauce, Lemongrass Sambal matah or raw vegan chocolate mousse to name just a few of the exciting dishes on our menu.
Thanks to carefully designed dishes including all the nutrients and enzymes necessary to restore and re-energize your digestive system, our chef will ensure that we are nourished well and glowing with happiness from the inside and out!
