“I AM NOT THE SAME, HAVING SEEN THE MOON SHINE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD.” – MARY ANNE RADMACHER
ABOUT THE RETREAT
If you love to travel and are ready to have a more meaningful experience on your next adventure, Susan Roderick and Kenna Klosterman have just the trip to Bali for you! Travel often focuses on the external experiences you encounter while in a new place. These external experiences can be profound, yet the true power of travel lies in how it transforms you from the inside—in your heart and soul. We’ve designed this intimate Bali retreat to give you the presence of mind, heart, body, and soul to be aware of each experience and how it powerfully shifts how you feel and who you are.
RETREAT HIGHLIGHTS
Spend 8 days and 7 nights at the secluded award-winning Floating Leaf Eco-Luxury Retreat, our Balinese home away from home. We’ll meditate using guided exercises, connect with our bodies, and have a transformational lesson to focus on each day. We’ll explore the Bali Central Highlands, take a day trip to Sanur, and take part in a Purification Ceremony and Rituals at a Sacred Water Temple. We’ll lounge amongst three rooftop terraces offering dramatic views of the Indian Ocean & Bali’s majestic volcanoes and the surrounding rice fields. We’ll eat fresh tropical fruits and farm-to-table organic meals, and you’ll have the opportunity to treat yourself to luxurious spa services. We’ll come home friends for life. This will be an adventure like no other!
Relax in the ideal Bali location from November 8th-15th, 2022
"TRAVELING WITH SUSAN AND KENNA IS SUCH A REFLECTIVE ADVENTURE! I LEARNED A GREAT DEAL ABOUT MYSELF, LEARNED THE TRUE VALUE OF MEDITATION, LEARNED ABOUT A DIFFERENT CULTURE, AND CREATED A BOND WITH A TRIBE OF BEAUTIFUL SOULS WHO WILL REMAIN LIFE-LONG FRIENDS. FOREVER GRATEFUL." - ADDIE
OUR MISSION
Although we will have plenty of adventures, this group retreat is more about BEING than it is about DOING. You will discover a new part of yourself. You will gain an understanding of what it means to feel fulfilled. This trip is more about finding presence and peace than it is about packing in non-stop activities. If that sounds like the perfect experience, we welcome you to this idyllic Bali retreat.
