RELEASE YOUR DEMONS:
A YOGA, SURF AND CULTURAL RETREAT TO THE MAGICAL ISLAND OF BALI
With Carrie Varela And Dr. Jonathan Bloch
TUESDAY APRIL 10 – THURSDAY APRIL 19, 2018
ULUWATU AND UBUD BALI
Join us for a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience the magical island of Bali! Spend 10 days exploring the island of the Gods and participate in the celebration of Nyepi, the Balinese New Year.
Settle into Bali by spending your first 4 days in gorgeous Uluwatu, which is situated on high cliff tops, overlooking stunning views of the Indian Ocean. Your adventure includes twice daily yoga, picturesque sunsets, Bali’s best beaches, world class surfing and a cultural excursion to the Uluwatu Temple at sunset complete with the infamous cultural Kecak dance. Purified by the sun, surf and sweat of your yoga practice, we will traverse to central Bali for 5 nights in Ubud. Here in the cultural heart of the island, prepare to release your demons by witnessing Ogoh-Ogoh and participating in the spiritual festival of Nyepi. Your time in Ubud includes twice daily yoga sessions, visiting a water purification temple and experiencing the festivities of Nypei. Be wowed by the Ogoh-Ogoh, elaborate hand-crafted, papier mache monsters that locals parade through the streets to lure out evil spirits, and by observing Nyepi, a day of silence which marks the beginning of a new year for the Balinese.
On this retreat you will experience the best of Bali, use your practice to encourage change in healthy ways, discover the path to achieve freedom and release whatever it is that challenges us or gets in your own way. We’ll have fun pushing our edges, breaking through ceilings and then literally burn our demons away before tapping into the most sentient peace that can only come after losing your greatest chaos.
This custom retreat includes 4 star accommodation, 3 healthy meals daily, twice daily yoga, meditation, pranayama and/or satsang, 1 surf lesson, a cultural tour to two locations in Bali, 2 temple tours and Bali’s largest festival and new year celebration, Nyepi. Plenty of free time, optional excursions for shopping, art, cooking or dance lessons and concierge in-house tattoos are available by one of Bali’s best artists.
