Mother and Child Retreat
Bali, Indonesia
22 - 28 September, 2018
A yoga retreat holiday for mother and child. Time away for you, and precious time to connect with your little one. Get ready to be whisked away for a magical week at one of the most spiritual destinations in the world, the beautiful bali.
Rest. Rejuvenate. Reconnect.
Having a child is one of life’s most grounding events. You find out new things about yourself you never knew and of course, finding room for a tiny new person certainly tips life on its head.
For some, having a child can mean loss of identity, difficulty in understanding where career now fits and for others it is an incredibly uplifting and positive experience – many of us feel all of these emotions and more.
Each and every one of us responds differently to our own set of experiences and this is where the Parent and Child Retreat comes in.
We are here to provide you with a week of incredible experiences to share with your child, whilst you immerse yourself in our beautiful community and take some time to recharge.
In this busy world we live in, it’s easy to lose sight of what’s really important. By attending the retreat you’ll find space to reconnect with yourself and have the opportunity to connect and grow further with your child. You’ll also get the chance to connect with like-minded mamas and grow your community.
This is also why we’ve chosen Bali. It's an island rich in tradition where community is cherished and anak-anak (children) are celebrated. Bali's deep cultural values & beliefs align with our philosophy and purpose; the importance of family and 'extended family', community and communal living, deep connection in relationships and harmony. This is why we believe it's the perfect location for our Mother and Child retreat.
WHAT TO EXPECT
More than anything, we want you to come into the experience without any expectations. Expectations ruin our ability to live in the moment and that’s all we want you to do over this week. However, there are some things we ensure you will experience during your retreat:
- an environment to elevate your soul
- warm and inviting accommodation
- loving nannies to support you and ensure you get the rest you need
- mindful movement in the form of yoga and pilates to strengthen your core and clear the mind
- locally sourced food to nourish you and your child
- and a whole lot of pampering
The week is designed to help you mindfully set your intentions, reflect on your values and tap into your strengths. You will walk away feeling rested, relaxed and strong thanks to our program of mindfulness, meditation, yoga and of course delicious nourishing food.
