Details

As much as growth, healing, and transformation are a product of daily devotion and small aligned and integrated actions, sometimes what we need is a bigger splash. Sometimes we need to dive headfirst into an environment that can lift us up, hold us gently, and cheer us on as we step into who we are. This is more than just a vacation. This is a homecoming. This is joy remembering itself. This is you, fully alive. So let’s DIVE IN. Let’s embark on the trip of a lifetime to create lasting positive change in out lives. Bali is bringing the Vitamin D, the good vibes, the nature, the adventure, I’m bringing the movement, the meditation, the playfulness, (and the fully organized itinerary!) all you have to do is bring you.

We will be staying at the stunning Honai Resort, set amidst tropical gardens and rice fields, with every villa surrounded by greenery and a terrace overlooking the pool and/or garden. All of the villas are air-conditioned and have super cool stone bathtubs! This venue was specifically designed as a retreat center, focusing on traditional therapies, spa treatments, cuisine, yoga, and meditation. The villas are a modern interpretation of the traditional Indonesian round house. There is a stunning yoga space with sweeping views of the surrounding rice fields where we’ll be doing our morning movement practice and our evening meditation and Reiki sessions. The space is fully equipped with mats, bolsters, straps, blankets, and blocks, so no need to bring anything!! Honai resort is just a 10 minute drive away from the center of Ubud and the resort will provide a free daily shuttle to Ubud and back. The resort has an on-site spa offering traditional massages, facials, manicures, and pedicures!

Testimonials

I'll take all the retreat time I can get!! You are MEANT to lead these retreats. You do them so beautifully and you have such a calming energy. I FULLY attribute the restart of my health journey to the retreat in Bali. I am having my own back and doing such good things for myself now 💕

Karina V, United States

I'm still in awe of the beautiful culture and community I was lucky to experience on the Joy Becomes Her retreat in Bali. I tried many new things, had powerful conversations with incredible new friends, and felt a sense of peace I've never experienced before.

Valerie N, United States

A massive THANK YOU! For opening up yourself and creating such a welcoming, joyful, and healing environment for everyone. Holy cats, I am truly forever grateful for the internal healing process that has been started, that I was not expecting, but I guess I was ready for. So thank you!!

Briita N., United States

I saw Rachel's face on a flyer in my Pilates' studio bathroom and I thought- you know, I would trust her, I would go across the world with her. And when we first met, it was this really cool connection. I didn't think I would find a good friend and a community with her and all the people she brought to this retreat, but I've made lifelong friends here. Everyday on this retreat has been so rejuvenating, I'm so happy, and I would do it again!

Jasmine V., United States

If I could sum up what this trip has meant, it would be incredible transformation. Having a doctorate in physical therapy, I know the body, but I'm still learning how to understand and connect with my body. Rachel helped increase that awareness and allow myself to slow down enough to connect on a level I didn't know I could connect. It has brought so much beauty and such a deeper level of understanding that I didn't even know I was missing out on. And for that I am so incredible grateful and it has truly changed my life.
