A Journey Back to Your Heart
This retreat is more than a getaway — it is a return to yourself. A space to pause, release, and remember the woman you truly are.
Surrounded by a circle of women walking the same soulful path, you’ll be embraced in presence, compassion, and shared intention. There is no expectation, no rush — only the freedom to simply be. The vibrant island energy, the lush landscapes, and the sacred rhythm of Bali gently guide you home to the parts of yourself that have been quietly waiting to be rediscovered. With each mindful breath, your heart softens, your mind quiets, and your spirit awakens. You begin to feel joy, peace, and aliveness flow freely once more — as you reconnect with your inner beauty, wisdom, and strength. As night falls, surrender to deep, restorative sleep, lulled by the whispers of the jungle and the heartbeat of the island.
Your Invitation to Say Yes to You
A retreat is one of the most transformational and soul-nourishing gifts you can give yourself. Taking a week to focus entirely on your own well-being — your heart, your body, your peace — can truly be life-changing. The Into the Heart Bali Women’s Retreat is a gentle yet powerful reminder of how deeply you’re meant to feel joy, how capable you truly are, and how worthy you are of living a life that feels aligned, free, and full of love. This is your moment to pause, to breathe, and to choose yourself. To listen to the whispers of your soul calling you home. Don’t wait for the “right time” — the time is now.
This is your permission to reconnect with your most authentic self, to awaken your heart, and to step courageously into new ways of being that honour your truth.
So come… immerse yourself in the magic of Bali — the warmth, the beauty, the serenity — and allow this sacred space to become your sanctuary for soulful rejuvenation.
Your heart is ready. Your journey begins here.

Testimonials
Women’s voices, sharing the heart of their Bali journey.
I had seen the advertising for 'Into the Heart-Bali' Retreat over a 6-month period..I have always travelled overseas with a family member & have never felt confident going on my own, so although it caught my eye, I didn't sign up straight away, feeling a bit anxious about it all.
After speaking with Julie-Anne about my concerns, trusting & feeling reassured by her, I jumped at the chance to fulfil my dream of attending an overseas retreat on my own.
Julie-Anne offered to help me & every single participant every step of the way. We were well prepared & travelled together as a beautiful Victorian group of 7.
I like how we were still able to make our own choices & maintain our independence right throughout, but could support each other if needed.
I had a truly wonderful time. The meditations, yin yoga, chanting, art & cultural activities were all heart-opening.Plenty of rest time also.
Sava Eco Village was a beautiful resort. Clean, the meals were healthy & nutritious. We were well taken care of & all our needs were met.
Julie-Anne's caring nature & attention to detail were genuine & impressive. She kept us all safe & checked in regularly. I liked the flexibility of the program. If you needed time out, you could take it, no questions asked.
There were lots of laughs & so much fun..we just need to laugh & let go more. I highly recommend this retreat to anyone who wants to open their heart in a safe, loving environment.
Well done, Julie-Anne.

Where do I start to find the words to express what a wonderful experience this was.
Let's start at the beginning..I was feeling like I needed some clarity and a reset of life, maybe it was time to nurture my heart. Having done quite a few workshops with Julie - Anne I knew that this would indeed be a special retreat as she puts her heart and soul into all she does with true authenticity. From guiding all the women through the booking and visa information by engaging us all with the amazing team at Bali Tic, providing well-sorted briefings and handouts and offering Zoom meetings as a way to get to know each other, it ensured we boarded the plane stress-free, totally organised and with a sense of knowing each other. A brilliant start.
Once we arrived at the magnificent Sava Eco Retreat, we stepped into our own little bubble of safety, caring and love. Everything was completely set up for us. This place was beyond perfect, the food amazing, the rooms superb, and Julie Anne had ensured everything was perfect. The care and love that had gone into organising this retreat was exceptional and a credit to Julie Anne and her soulful connections.
Our mornings started with meditation and Yin Yoga followed by heart led workshops and visits to the real Bali. From Jamu making, mandala circles, ceremonial basket making and ceremonies to my personal highlight, a visit to the local school. It is here that my heart was filled with joy and opened up with so much love and gratitude. Who would have thought so many simple life lessons could be found in the eyes of children.
A visit to the local temple followed, where we were blessed and cleansed by the local priest, an honour indeed. The beauty of this retreat is that your heart expands in many ways at unexpected times - cue a few tears. Julie Anne had wisely factored in lots of downtime to walk the beautiful gardens in meditative contemplation, swim in the pool with joy and laughter or laze in our room to rest or continue our own personal processing. Everything was perfectly perfect.
When I reflect on this retreat, I will always remember the joy and laughter echoing across the gardens from Julie Anne and especially Ren and Evy, the mealtime stories, the workshop sharing, the dancing and the magnificence of ten strangers who left their ego behind and opened their hearts to joy, simplicity and self-love.
I am so grateful I was brave enough to take a chance for ME - I hope you do too, you won't regret it. Bravo Julie Anne - you did it, the queen of reschedules and calm.

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.
