chosen. Due to popular demand Aziza is now a distributor for this

UPCOMING EVENTS
Rediscover Your Self in Bali
January 24 - February 2, 2004.
Imagine ten days in the lush embrace of East Bali. Ten days to walk
along rice paddies, through weaving villages, past Hindu temples and
other sacred sites. Imagine time to be creative, reflect, journal,
meditate, snorkel, feast on local culinary delights, unwind with massage
or two, stroll the beach, surrender to a labyrinth path and doze off
on your own veranda.
This unforgettable Wellness Retreat bridges two gorgeous locations,
one set amidst rolling green hills under the gaze of the sacred mountain,
Gunung Agung, the other, further along on the coast, nestled on the
quiet beach near Amed. Two tranquil retreat dwellings offering diverse
attractions and activities combined together for a delicious taste
of this paradise island, the perfect place to rediscover and connect
with the whole you.
