Journey to Bliss
Women’s Yoga & Meditation Retreat
SUNDAY 22ND - SATURDAY 28TH JUNE 2025 - ANANDA COTTAGES - UBUD, BALI
To Thrive in this One Life
rather than merely surviving, we must peel away the layers and get in touch with our highest sense of Self, our strongest sense of character, and who we are at our core.
Conditioning, our environment, old stories, negative self talk, toxic relationships can all add to how we view our Self in the present, yet we have the ability to consciously choose how to experience this one life.
Yoga strips away the layers of illusion that cloud our perception of reality
Use your practice to peel back these layers after layers and reveal what is always there, always present, waiting patiently to be discovered.
