PLEASE JOIN US!
In the company of a supportive community, we will nurture ourselves and each other as we find our way through our grief for what is happening on the planet. Using the Work That Reconnects we will reawaken our love and passion for life and nature as well as learn the practical skills of Self Compassion to respond with kindness to our own needs and the needs of the Earth.
We will be supported by the natural beauty of Bali and our retreat center’s focus on Tri Hita Karana. If you wish to develop inner strength and compassion to make a positive impact on the environment and all living beings then this 5-day retreat in the heart of Bali is your transformative journey!
