— Elissia, May 2024"I was apprehensive about being away with people I hardly knew, but something magical happened when I was surrounded by people with a common intention of personal growth and honesty. It was an incredible 5 day journey made possible by experienced and knowledgeable facilitators. I trust anything Danni does is with the best of intentions, and I cant wait to be a part of what she does next."
— Ricci, May 2024"I felt safe, a sense of belonging, and accepted. The atmosphere is calm, supportive, open, and understanding. I felt like I could be myself without criticism or judgement, and that’s huge for me. Everyone there was so keen and committed to absorbing every part of the amazing program, and the love, empathy for another was all encompassing. Lifelong friendships have been formed."
— Lauren"I got so much out of the daily discussions/education and came home feeling so light and free. It is important to me to get away from my own dunghill and noise to really focus on myself – this retreat gave me the opportunity to seek within, feel into my body, and therein were the answers. Thank you Danni for your expert guidance and for always being uplifting, warm and supportive."
— Deb, May 2024“I had an amazing time at the retreat in Balian. A hidden gem that unfolded connection, growth, love, friendship, comfort, compassion, laughter, confidence, healthiness, lightness and happiness for me. I’m booked in for next years retreat, I am so looking forward to it.”
— Mary, Sept 2024"I found the retreat mind blowing. Released decades of trauma that was festering inside me. 12 months of therapy in 4 days. Such a beautiful, nurturing, safe group. Life-long friendships. I found a spirituality that I have never felt before. A truly life changing, magical experience. I am so grateful for the 3 beautiful facilitators who genuinely cared and nurtured every member of the group.”
— Sarah, May 2024“A stunning location to get away from all the normal home distractions and focus solely on me!
Gorgeous friends, wonderful learnings, opportunities for deep thought and lots of laughter. Simply fabulous.”
— Rachel, September 2024“A truly gentle and nourishing experience on every level!
Highly recommend.”
— Michelle, Oct 2024"It saved my life! I arrived in Bali very broken. I'd lost my zest for life and couldn't see a way out. The intention I set on the first day was to find hope, as I had none for my future. Never before have I felt so loved, seen and held – and I was with a group of strangers! It has changed my life and I've found the hope I was looking for."
