Quality family time in BALI

AUGUST 8 – 13, 2010

ONEWORLD retreats – Kumara is one of the only few places that offers the opportunity for both parents and children to practice Yoga and relax in the beauty of an inspiring environment. Besides being the best island in the world, Bali is filled with traditions and wisdom.

Our intention is to offer families opportunities to live memorable experiences during and after the journey. Discovering a far away culture that embraces ancient traditions and modern comfort helping to support our search for our true potential in a nurturing environment.

By mixing with less fortunate Balinese natives, western kids have the opportunity to discover a reality that should undeniably help them express feeling of sharing, compassion, open their eyes and hearts to gratefulness and thankfulness.

ONEWORLD at The Purist is the latest addition to our retreat collection. The Purist is a hip designer’s wellness retreat nestled in the green fertile hills of Ubud, Bali. ONEWORLD retreats has set impressive wellness programs and retreats as well as a selection of spa treatments performed by well trained therapists.

The Purist is the ideal place to unwind in an inspiring setting. The journeys are designed with our guests in mind and offered from the heart by each team member. With years of experience in alternative journeys we do our best to deliver the necessary quality so our guests may enjoy a well deserved vacation The owners have created an architectural master piece in a small village in the surroundings of Ubud, the cultural capital of the island.

In its rural and tropical setting one can fully appreciate the tranquil peacefulness the Balinese are famous for. The beautiful surrounding rice paddy fields make the short walk to the centre of Ubud a scenic walk. The Purist offers only seven private villas, making it the smallest boutique hotel in Bali. In this way, we can meet any of our guests’ personal and specific needs.

The Pure Escape Retreat will take place in September and December 2010. This luxury yoga and meditation retreat is designed for anyone desiring to touch base with the self and to practice daily meditation and soft yoga while enjoying a perfect and relaxing Balinese vacation.

While staying at The Purist you can book a private yoga class. In a Yoga class we use specific postures, breathing techniques and concentration exercises to strengthen and loosen up the body, to relax the mind and to connect with spirit. After Yoga many people report feeling clearer, lighter, refreshed and energized. Qi Gong and meditation classes are also possible.

Do you wish to do a detox program while staying at The Purist? This is possible. We offer a complete quick start detox and cleansing program of 3 nights. Fresh cleansing foods combined with gentle yoga, meditation, spa treatments and talks on natural health work together to refresh the body, mind and spirit. Lighten up and purify yourself from the inside out. The Inner Purity Ultra Detox Package takes place on set dates throughout the year.

Another option is to go on a journey into tranquility and inner peace. Rest, relax and unwind among the quiet of Balinese rice fields using both ancient and leading edge relaxation techniques. Experience the peaceful you that rests calmly beneath the busy surface. The Peaceful Me journey includes healthy great tasting meals that will help the body to refresh and restore itself. Holosync is a sophisticated form of audio technology that induces the brain wave patterns of deep meditation. This method is used during this 3 night journey to relaxation.

We have prepared a journey of discovery and peacefulness in touch with your spirit: The Purest Holiday.

The Living from the Inside Out retreat is designed with the issues in mind that face all of us in some form today – that is, offering skills to help attain and maintain health, balance and quality of life while at the same time meeting the necessary demands and pressures of our modern lifestyles and is suitable for anyone who wishes to learn to live in calm and focused tranquility.

An interactive program designed to empower us in living our best life – reducing stress and increasing wellbeing – to live from the inside out – in calm and focused tranquility. An optional feature of this program will include Reiki I training and attunement.

Living from the inside out will explore ancient Yogic philosophies, teachings, techniques and universal principles -; connecting us with our heart, enabling us to reach a state of calm, then to maintain that state of calm for as long as possible, and so experience the effects in our life…our health, our relationships, our work, our contribution to life and living.
Thus we go within, find our truth (our heart), and come out with that, and so live our life from that place of truth (heart)…. living from the inside out…. Knowing that each time we lose heart (our truth) and it is part of life that we will… we have the skills and knowledge to go back inside, access it again, and live from it again… and so it goes. That is the nature of the universe – waves ofcontraction and expansion – the Yin and Yang of life – and so we live in harmony and flow with life, (instead of resisting it) experiencing the empowerment that comes with calm control of our life (masters of our destiny) at the same time, attaining improved overall health and wellbeing through raising personal vibrations, improving our immune system and organ function, leading to increased energy and vitality, happiness and longevity.

As an optional extra life management and healing tool for self and others, Reiki I training, initiations and attunements are also offered. This is an accredited training (which if done outside of this retreat can be quite costly). All participants in Reiki I will gain a certificate which will enable them if they wish, to be a Reiki I practitioner. Alternatively participants may simply practise Reiki on themselves, friends, family or simply be in it just for the experience – it is all a personal choice.

The retreat maintains a calm relaxed, ‘do as you please’ vibe. You can choose to participate in everything or daydream all day! While we will be keeping you busy in the morning there are other activities to explore at your own leisure. Often these activities will be organized for the group if there is sufficient interest including snorkeling, bush walking, Balinese cooking classes, spa treatments and silver jewelry shopping. Our retreats continue to please and remain a valuable and unique experience for those who have joined us in the past.
