Details of this retreat
If you’re ready for a getaway that’s equal parts inspiration, relaxation, and laughing ‘til you cry, this is your sign to pack your bags. Bali is calling, and so is your next breakthrough (or at least a really good poolside margarita)!
Is this a full-on professional growth conference? Not really. Woo-woo up the wazoo? Not quite. Let's call it Schoolies for f***ing tired wedding industry folk who just want to put the phone down for a minute and claim it on tax. Just kidding. There's a little learning, a little growth, and a lot of fun. Business in front, naps in the back, if you will. (The learning is optional, the naps are not).
Really, it's the ultimate retreat for hitching peeps who need to escape from the chaos for a moment so they can stop, breathe, and do all the “re-“s… Relax, reset, rejuvenate, release, recover, re-evaluate, reinvest, remember, and reclaim. It's a retreat like nothing else in Bali - a unique approach we call "Choose Your Own Adventure" that blends fascinating evidence backed research and targeted life and business analysis to actually gets you reaching the goals you set for yourself... with a side of meditation and cocktails by the pool.
If you want to find some joy, get infused with motivation, or simply be kinder to yourself, this event is it. Immerse yourself in a 4-day, 3-night, soul quenching Retreat at an eco-luxury Music and Wellness Resort in the heart of Indonesia. Escape from the daily grind and dive into unique workshops, self care activities, connections with likeminded cele-friends and experiences that will set your soul on fire.
This retreat is for any celebrant who needs the space and time to breathe and learn. Bring a bestie, your Work Spouse, or run solo to meet other amazing humans that you can connect with and learn from. This year the retreat will be hosted by Sarah May Alexander from The Work Wives, who is back for her 7th Bali Retreat!
