Welcome to the Island of Gods
THE RISING HIGH RETREAT
A journey through the five elements
Ecstatic & Creative Vinyasa & Mindful Slow & Restorative Yoga - Nature Connectedness & Meditative Practices - Temple Visists, Ceremonies & Rituals
✩ ✩ ✩ ✩ ✩ ✩ ✩ ✩ ✩ ✩
Together let´s reconnect, realign and recommit to rise high in 2024.
Welcome to Bali - the home of one of planet Earth’s last living spiritual cultures. It’s origins stem from south India and the great siddha yoga masters that brought the yogic culture to all of south-east Asia including Java and then Bali. This truly magical place, known for a deep spiritual frequency, stunning nature and locals with a profound interconnectedness with the natural world - both within so as without - makes this a perfect spot for deep inner work.
During our stay we explore our inner world through yogic practices, rituals and ceremonies of the locals and the absorb the spiritual and healing energy that permeates the entire island.
The retreat evolves around the five elements - earth, water, fire, air and space. Each element will have a practice connected, a special ceremony or connection to the natural around us. Our mornings are spend moving inwards - practicing yoga, pranayama and meditation. In the afternoons we relax by the pool, embark on senic silent walks, visit to temples to meditate, or engage in local rituals and ceremonies for deeper inner connection.
From the retreat spot there are scenic walks temples and you can also go explore the magic of Ubuds markets, , rice fields and nature. There are Ayurvedic treatments available at the retreat spots own spa.
I can’t wait to journey within!
PURE LOVE,
Marie-Louise
