Embrace Bali's Magic in our Cultural  Immersion Retreat!


The Path to Peace-Bali Women's Retreat

Legian, Bali.

The Path to Peace is a deeply enriching 7-night Cultural Immersion Retreat in Bali, created to invite you to slow down, experience the beauty of Balinese culture, and reconnect with what truly matters. This unique retreat weaves together Balinese cultural experiences, meditation, creative arts and the practice of gratitude, creating space for meaningful connection, reflection and presence.

Through meditation, creativity and immersive cultural experiences, you will be invited to step away from the busyness of everyday life and experience Bali through its people, traditions, spirituality and heart. There will be moments to create, moments to be still, moments to explore, and moments simply to appreciate the beauty around you.

At the heart of The Path to Peace is gratitude — gratitude for life, for connection, for culture, for the people we meet, and for the simple moments that remind us how beautiful it is to be present.

This is more than a retreat.It is an immersion into culture, creativity, connection and gratitude — a journey back to the heart.

Held in Legian, Bali, Indonesia.


Retreat Dates:
Tuesday, October 19th, at 3pm 2027, to Tuesday, October 26th, at 12pm 2027



Welcome to The Path to Peace  - Bali Women’s Retreat 

The Path to Peace was born in Bali. During Julie-Anne’s last women’s retreat, there was a moment within a sacred water purification ceremony that touched something deeply within her — and the women sharing the experience beside her. Surrounded by ancient caves, cascading waterfalls and the beautiful presence of Mother Bali, something shifted. In the stillness, emotion and sacredness of that moment, Julie-Anne felt a profound sense of peace within. She had found The Path to Peace. It was more than a beautiful moment in Bali. It became the heart and soul of what Julie-Anne wanted her retreats to represent — creating spaces where women can step away from the noise of everyday life, soften, reconnect and experience what it feels like to simply be. Julie-Anne’s retreats are deeply heart-opening experiences, filled with connection, laughter, culture, adventure, reflection and moments that stay within your heart long after you return home. Because The Path to Peace is different for every woman. You may find yours in stillness. In the laughter of new friendships. In giving to another. In experiencing a different culture. In being brave enough to step outside your comfort zone. Or perhaps in one unexpected moment when your heart opens, and something within you quietly shifts. Julie-Anne found her Path to Peace in Bali. Now, she invites you to walk beside her and discover your own.

WHO THIS RETREAT IS FOR
Perhaps you’ve been giving so much of yourself to everyone and everything around you that you’ve forgotten what it feels like to make space for you. This retreat is for the woman who is ready to slow down, breathe a little deeper and reconnect with herself. You may be craving rest and space, feeling emotionally tired or overwhelmed, longing for more calm and clarity, wanting meaningful connection with other women, or dreaming of experiencing Bali while feeling safe, supported and cared for. You don’t need any previous meditation or retreat experience. You simply need to come as you are.

THE PATH TO PEACE BALI WOMEN’S RETREAT
Step away from everyday life and immerse yourself in seven beautiful nights in Bali, thoughtfully created to nurture your heart, support your nervous system and give you the space to reconnect with yourself. Led by Julie-Anne, your days will gently weave together meditation, creative arts, heart-led workshops, meaningful cultural experiences, adventure, laughter and plenty of time to simply rest. Surrounded by lush tropical gardens and the warmth of Bali, life begins to feel a little slower. There is time to explore and time to be still. Time to connect with other women and time to retreat to your own space. Nothing is forced. Everything is an invitation.

A JOURNEY BACK TO YOURSELF
The Path to Peace is more than a getaway. It is an opportunity to step away from the roles and responsibilities you carry every day and remember the woman underneath them all. Within a small, supportive circle of women, you’ll have the freedom to soften, laugh, reflect, explore and experience moments that may touch your heart in ways you never expected. Your path may be found in stillness. In friendship. In laughter. In giving to another. In experiencing the spirituality and culture of Bali. Or perhaps in one unexpected moment when something within you quietly shifts. You may arrive simply needing a break. 

You may leave having discovered your own Path to Peace.

Breathe well, Feel well

Bali Women's Retreat -Testimonial 

I had seen the advertising for the Into the Heart – Bali Retreat for over six months. I had always travelled overseas with family and never felt confident going on my own, so although it caught my eye, I initially felt anxious about taking the leap. After speaking with Julie-Anne, I felt reassured and supported and decided to fulfil my dream of attending an overseas retreat. Julie-Anne supported us every step of the way. We were well prepared and travelled together as a beautiful Victorian group of seven. I loved that we could maintain our independence and make our own choices, while still having the support of the group when needed. The meditations, Yin Yoga, chanting, art and cultural experiences were beautiful and heart-opening, with plenty of time to rest and simply be. Sava Eco Village was beautiful, clean and welcoming, with healthy, nutritious meals and wonderful care. Julie-Anne’s caring nature and attention to detail were genuine and impressive. She regularly checked in with us, and I loved the flexibility of the retreat — if you needed time out, you could take it, no questions asked. There were so many laughs, beautiful moments and memories created. I highly recommend this retreat to anyone wanting to open their heart in a safe, loving and supportive environment. Well done, Julie-Anne.

Our Cultural  Immersion Activities!


Water Purification - Healing Waters

This experience is truly profound — one that may stay in your heart long after you leave Bali. We’ll journey to the sacred Beji Griya Waterfall to take part in a traditional Melukat water purification ceremony, a beautiful Balinese ritual of cleansing, renewal and spiritual connection. Surrounded by the sacred energy of this very special place, you’ll be guided through the ceremony before stepping beneath the flowing holy spring waters. It is an invitation to release what feels heavy, quieten the mind and simply surrender to the experience. There is something incredibly powerful about standing beneath these waters — allowing them to wash over you as you reconnect with yourself, your heart and the sacredness of the moment. This is more than an excursion. It is a deeply moving cultural and spiritual experience — a moment to let go, to soften, to reflect and to receive.

Teba Sari Restaurant 

After our profound water purification experience, we’ll head to the beautiful Teba Sari Restaurant to relax, connect and enjoy lunch together. You’ll have the opportunity to explore the delicious flavours of Indonesian cuisine, with plenty of beautiful dishes to choose from — and trust us, you’ll want to save room for their incredible desserts! It’s the perfect place to sit together and reflect on the beautiful experience we’ve just shared.

Lunch at Teba Sari is at your own expense, giving you the freedom to choose whatever your taste buds desire.

Pyramids Of Chi 

Prepare to experience something truly extraordinary at the Pyramids of Chi. Step inside the magnificent pyramid, lie back, close your eyes and allow yourself to be immersed in a powerful journey of sound, vibration and stillness. As the sounds of gongs and beautiful instruments wash over and through you, feel your body soften, your mind quieten, and your nervous system settle. 

A profound experience where your only invitation is to let go, surrender and simply receive.

Silversmith Making Class 

Enjoy a beautiful hands-on Silver Making Class, where you’ll learn traditional Balinese silversmithing techniques alongside talented local artisans. With their guidance, you’ll design and create your very own silver ring, shaping a piece that feels uniquely yours. More than just jewellery, your ring will become a meaningful keepsake — something created by your own hands to carry a little piece of Bali and the memories of our time together, home with you.

Authentic Balinese Lunch at a Family Home 

After our Silversmith Class, we’ll enjoy an authentic Balinese lunch at the family home of Agong, our silversmith, where we’ll be warmly welcomed by his wife and family. Gather around the table and experience the true flavours of Bali, with traditional dishes, beautiful spices and food lovingly prepared and shared with us. This will be more than just lunch — it will be a truly special gathering filled with warmth, connection, culture and the beautiful generosity of Balinese hospitality.

Balinese Cooking Class 

Get ready to roll up your sleeves, have plenty of laughs and immerse yourself in the incredible flavours of Bali with an authentic Balinese Cooking Class. You’ll discover traditional ingredients, fragrant spices and local cooking techniques as you create delicious Balinese dishes from scratch. Then comes the best part — sitting down together to enjoy the beautiful feast you’ve created! This experience will be full of flavour, connection, laughter and a whole lot of fun — creating memories you’ll take home from Bali.

Flower Mandala Creation

Imagine yourself surrounded by the beauty of Bali, with colourful flowers and petals before you, as you slow down and create your own beautiful flower mandala. You’ll be invited to choose each flower intuitively, placing every petal with intention as your own unique creation begins to unfold. This is your time to switch off from the outside world, become completely present and simply enjoy creating something beautiful with your hands and from your heart. A little piece of Bali magic — peaceful, creative, heart-opening and an experience you’ll remember long after the final petal is placed.

Mala Bead Necklace Making Class 

This is going to be a beautiful, mindful experience as you create your very own Mala Bead Necklace. Traditionally, a Mala is made with 108 beads and has been used for centuries as a tool for meditation, intention and reflection. Each bead can represent a breath, a mantra, an affirmation or simply a moment of presence. During this workshop, you’ll slow down, connect with your creativity and handcraft a Mala that holds your own personal meaning and intention. You’ll leave with your own beautiful Mala necklace — created by your hands, from your heart, to carry with you as a reminder of what matters most.

Visit a Balinese School 

One of the most heart-opening experiences of our retreat will be visiting a local Balinese school, where together we’ll share a little kindness and joy with the children. We’ll arrive with ice creams and art supplies, but what you’ll receive in return may be something far greater — beautiful smiles, laughter, connection and moments that touch your heart in ways you may never expect. This is an opportunity to step beyond being a visitor to Bali and experience the joy of giving, connecting and making a small but meaningful difference. Come prepared to have your heart opened — because sometimes the greatest gift we can receive is the joy we feel when we give to another. 

This is Melting Hearts Throughout Bali — touching lives, sharing kindness and creating memories that will stay in your heart long after you return home.

Our Heart Immersion Activities!


Meditation Sessions

On the days we don’t have excursions planned, your morning will begin slowly and intentionally with a beautiful heart-centred guided meditation. You’ll be invited to settle into stillness, connect with your heart and begin your day with moments of gratitude and presence. No rushing, no schedules to race towards — simply time to breathe, soften and be exactly where you are. These mornings are about learning to appreciate the small moments, quietening the outside noise and embracing a more mindful approach to living fully in the present. Begin your day grounded, grateful and connected — carrying that sense of calm and presence with you throughout the rest of your day.

Heart- Led Workshops 

Two Creative Expression Workshops 
Reconnect with the creative part of you through beautiful, heart-led experiences designed to encourage self-expression, play and freedom. No need to be artistic — simply come as you are, follow your heart, and let your creativity unfold.

Daily Gratitude Art Journaling
Slow down and capture the moments, feelings and memories of your Bali journey through words, colour and creativity. Your journal becomes a personal reflection of your retreat — filled with gratitude, inspiration and the little moments that touched your heart.

These experiences are woven throughout your retreat to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself and return home carrying a little more love, gratitude and presence in your heart.

The Shopping Legian 

We’ll begin our adventure with a little indulgence — a 75-minute facial at Julie-Anne’s favourite beauty spa, where you can relax, be pampered and enjoy some beautiful time just for you. Feeling refreshed and glowing, we’ll then explore the vibrant streets of Legian — wandering through local stores, discovering special treasures and simply enjoying the fun of being in Bali together. Of course, we’ll make a stop at an amazing silver jewellery shop filled with gorgeous pieces — and trust us, you may find it very hard to leave without choosing a little something special for yourself! We’ll also enjoy a delicious lunch at one of Julie-Anne’s favourite Greek restaurants, sharing beautiful food, laughter and conversation before continuing our adventure. A gorgeous day of pampering, connection, laughter, shopping and creating unforgettable Bali memories together.

Bring some spending money for shopping and lunch. 

The Food - A Taste of Bali

Food is a beautiful part of experiencing Bali, and throughout your retreat, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy the vibrant flavours and culinary traditions of Bali.  Wake each morning to a delicious buffet-style breakfast, with a selection of eggs, pancakes, fresh tropical fruit, juices and other breakfast favourites to start your day. In the evenings, we’ll come together to enjoy buffet-style dinners, with a variety of fresh and flavourful dishes to choose from. Savour Balinese favourites such as Nasi Goreng, Gado Gado and Satay, alongside aromatic curries, noodles, fresh vegetables and locally sourced proteins. Meals are lovingly prepared by local chefs, allowing you to explore different flavours, try something new and experience another beautiful part of Balinese culture. 

Refresh throughout your stay with fresh juices, coconut water and ginger tea. Good food, beautiful flavours and shared meals — all part of immersing yourself in the heart and culture of Bali.

Bali Women's Retreat - Testimonial 

Where do I start to find the words to express what a wonderful experience this was? I was at a point where I needed some clarity, a reset and perhaps some time to nurture my heart. Having attended workshops with Julie-Anne before, I knew this retreat would be something special. She puts her heart and soul into everything she does with genuine authenticity. From the very beginning, we were supported every step of the way. Booking, visas, information sessions, detailed handouts and Zoom catch-ups meant we boarded the plane feeling organised, connected and ready for our adventure.

Arriving at the beautiful Sava Eco Retreat felt like stepping into our own little bubble of safety, care and love. The surroundings were magnificent, the rooms beautiful, the food amazing, and every detail had been thoughtfully considered. Our mornings began with meditation and Yin Yoga, followed by heart-led workshops and experiences that allowed us to discover the real Bali. From Jamu making, mandala circles and ceremonial basket making to beautiful cultural ceremonies, every day offered something meaningful. My personal highlight was visiting the local school. My heart was filled with so much joy, love and gratitude. Who would have thought so many simple life lessons could be found in the eyes of children?There was also plenty of downtime — time to walk through the gardens, swim and laugh together, rest in our rooms or simply process everything we were experiencing. When I reflect on this retreat, I will remember the laughter echoing through the gardens, the mealtime stories, the workshops, the dancing and the beautiful connection between a group of strangers who opened their hearts to joy, simplicity and self-love. I am so grateful I was brave enough to take a chance on ME. If you are thinking about doing the same, take the chance. You won’t regret it.

Bravo, Julie-Anne — you did it. The queen of reschedules and calm!

We are taking Six Amazing Women on this journey

Bali Women's Retreat-Testimonial 

What can I say — it was the best retreat I have ever been on.

From the moment we arrived, Julie-Anne created a safe and nurturing bubble where we could completely switch off from the outside world and truly come home to ourselves.

Every detail was so thoughtfully curated — from the heart-led workshops and healing meditations to the beautiful cultural experiences and nourishing meals.

I felt held, seen, and supported every step of the way.

It was a week of pure goodness, deep connection, and soulful nourishment.
I left feeling lighter, calmer, and so full of love.

Truly a life-changing experience. - Ren
