Embracing the Goddess: A Sacred Journey to Bali; June 12 - 20 2016  


Join us on a journey to Bali where we will walk in our beauty nature and reflect our light into the world. We will weave our sacred circle at Bagus Jati, where we will stay in luxurious villas on hillside gardens among lush tropical forests in the mountains outside of Ubud.. In addition to circle time and yoga, we will journey to a traditional Balinese village, trek in the jungle where we will experience the magnificent variety of flora and fauna and be a part of a purification ritual and blessing ceremony at a nearby temple and waterfall.
