About this trip
Retreat, relax and recharge your mind and body in paradise. If you have dreamed of a yoga and meditation retreat in Bali, join us at Soulshine. Created by singer Michael Franti and his friend Carla Swanson, the soulrocker retreat is located in the lush and magical Balinese village of Ubud.
We will share in daily yoga, guided meditation, and mindful inquiry work. We will explore the local region, including sacred temples and beaches. We will release and unplug and simply enjoy the natural beauty around us. Join us to just BE in paradise.
What You Need to Know
This is an adventure trip. It will ask you to walk on uneven ground, use stairs, ride a bike and maybe even dance in public. It takes 30+ hours to get to Bali from the east coast of the US. You must be willing able to endure some challenges in travel and possibly in other ways. The rooms are air conditioned, AND Bali is a tropical country with bugs and other critters. If you are a YES for this trip we ask that you be a YES even when things are challenging....just like you are on your yoga mat.
