RETREAT REVIEW
|
|
Our
Bali Bliss Wellness Journey in February was simply gorgeous.
But don't just take our word for it...
"The stunningly beautiful and peaceful ocean-side
location inspired personal growth when combined with Laila's
insightful art sessions. The atmosphere was relaxed, and conducive
to meeting other like-minded guests. The Gaia environment
helped to further my personal growth, giving me a peaceful,
safe place to reflect on new personal insights. The daily
yoga and meditation at Gaia deepened my spiritual growth."
"Seriously, the spa staff goes above and beyond to please
the clients and will adjust any aspect to suit individual
tastes. The Gaia Oasis 2 hour treatment was like heaven on
a massage table.....esp. the coconut avocado exfoliation.
Sighhhh..."
"The quality
of the food was superb, fresh and delicious! I liked the buffet
style, it gave me the flexibility to eat when I wanted and
how much I wanted."
"What stands out is experiencing a completely new culture---
a true adventure- Seeing Ubud after reading about it in Eat
Pray Love
-Being completely removed from my day to day existence"
"Really
getting away from it all in a beautiful place like Bali, surrounded
by a very mindful, intentional, and peaceful culture inspired
me to find new abilities to live a more mindful life back
at home."
"The people, the culture, the beauty, the spirituality...I
could go on and on there are so many reasons to return to
Bali."
