Our serene and beautiful retreat is located far from the busyness of everyday life in the cool tranquil hills of the vibrant artist’s village of Ubud. Our accommodation is at a delightful family-owned hotel set amongst lush rice paddies with beautiful vistas, an exquisite garden setting, wonderful friendly hosts and a natural spring-water swimming pool.
I welcome you here with all my heart
After living in Bali for a time in 1975 I have always been touched by the gentle spirit of the Balinese people with their beaming smiles and bottomless giving. I simply adore them!
I consider Bali my spiritual home and no matter where I am in the world, it touches me deeply in the quiet of my heart.
In Bali thousands of flower offerings are made to the Gods every day.
The Balinese believe that the sweeter the flowers, the more quickly their prayers reach heaven.
Bali is beauty, devotion, simplicity, kind people, amazing food, warm air, epic sunsets, beautiful temples, fragrant flowers, green rice paddies, sandalwood, tuberose, ylang ylang and overflowing with love and caring.
Our retreat creates a nurturing environment that celebrates life and offers pampering as well as an opportunity to meet yourself with tenderness and grace.
Consider the retreat as an act of self-care, where you can remember yourself, take a quiet pause, nourish your woman spirit and turn inward to listen to your heart’s desire.

Important Notes
- We suggest that when you are making your travel arrangements, consider taking a few days to relax and unwind at the beach before or after the Retreat in Ubud. We are happy to assist you with hotel suggestions.
- For guests who have an evening departure on the last day of the Retreat, it may be possible to organise a late check out with the hotel. Please note that this option is not included in the price of the Retreat.
- When departing from Bali, it is best to allow 4 hours travel and check in time – 2 hours to travel from Ubud to the airport as there are often ceremonies on the road which may impede your journey and another 2 hours to allow for check in prior to departure.
