The Six Senses Meditation, Awakening & Discovery Retreat 7 days and 6 nights

Ancient, pure and delightful

General Information
Do you wish you had access to your own guidance and wisdom, instead of seeking wisdom from other people? Do you feel the weight of all the “should do’s” in your life?
Do you ever get the sense that you are pretending to be someone other than who you really are? If you would like to have a different experience of life then this retreat is for you.
Practicing meditation twice a day with support & guidance as to the best styles for YOU and enjoying the right balance of activities in this beautiful location makes this retreat in Bali an opportunity to really nurture yourself & learn new ways to make peace with yourself both inside & out.

At the end of this retreat you will return to your world refreshed & reorganised to a higher state of wellbeing. You will have the skills to be peaceful & balanced back in your world.
Meditation is a path to mental peace, emotional comfort, physical ease & spiritual harmony. We can meditate to ease the stress of daily life, manage an illness or life situation or to develop wisdom, intuition and inner knowledge. Maybe you meditate and want to experience more. Perhaps you have never meditated or been ‘successful’ at it but really want to experience its joys.

In this retreat you will be supported to find the meditation styles that suit you. There are many meditation options including:

    • Breathing meditations
    • Mantra meditations
    • Moving meditations
    • Clearing meditations
    • Chakra meditations
    • Sound healing
    • Cosmos linking meditations and
    • Specific grounding & centering meditations just right for you.
