BALI RETREAT REVIEW

 

Upcoming in the April Issue look forward to the Rediscover Your Self in Bali Retreat Review and some breathtaking photos of our life enriching experience.

Also look for the announcement of 2008 dates for three new retreats in Bali!

Here are some of the participant comments:

" Laila's thoughtful planning and attention to detail brought a dimension to my Balinese experience that I wouldn't have been able to find myself in such a brief visit. Doing the deep therapeutic work against the Bali backdrop was magical."

" I cleared and faced new and old issues. Found serenity, peace, calm and openness. Received clarity about self and direction of path."

" I traveled nearly half way round the world and there I found a part of me who had been hiding for a quarter of a century. My deepest thanks to Laila and the group."

"The process really helped me identify issues and gain clarity. The tools learned will serve me for the rest of my life."

" Thank you very much Laila for the amazing experience and for taking such good care of us. You have created a miracle in Bali."

NEW PACKAGE PRICING

Participants are already enjoying the benefits of our new package prices.

We've grouped together our most popular requests into 3 retreat/workshop fee options designed to suit your specific budget of money and time. Many packages now include private therapy sessions with group facilitator, Laila Ghattas, which help to kick start or integrate the group process. There are also retreat packages with private room, and loads of extra's. For a peak sample click here for Women's getaway packages.

Also please note we offer monthly installment plans on most retreat events to help you ensure your personal growth goals are accessible.

~~~~~~~

 

PRIVATE THERAPY

Individuals are more frequently asking for 2 hour private individual or couples therapy sessions as a means to effectively make use of time commited to personal growth. Often a client accesses pressing issues 30-40 minutes into a session which, in a two hour frame, allows for relaxed exploration and integration of insights.

With an expertise in three complimentary modalities, Laila Ghattas provides the unique opportunity to move easily in response to the client's needs from traditional talk based Gestalt therapy, into non-verbal, creative Expressive Art therapy or into bodywork based Usui Reiki over the course of 120 minutes. These flow into a tailored session that effectively inspire, encourage and nurture the healing process.

Please email to book your appointment in Toronto.
