Hello everyone! What a great beginning of the year we've been having!
It's
been a great month this January and while a lot of you were back to
your offices to struggle with the cold, me and the team of the
BALI SURF, YOGA & WELLNESS retreat,
were having the times of our lives together with 15 lovely ladies that
came from all over the world to join us in this great adventure in the
Island of the Gods.
We received so much blessings
during our retreats, and we just wanted to share some pics of the
fantastic 20 days we spent strolling in Bali around the Bukit Peninsula,
Balangan beach, Canggu, Ubud, Uluwatu, the Island of Nusa Lembongan and
more.
We hope you like the pics, and we hope you can
join us in our next retreat most likely to be celebrated in Mexico or
Nicaragua at the beginning of December.
Would you fancy coming with us? Give us a shout and let us know
your interest here.
