The slow cooked duck is a house specialty and till now leaves my mouth watering, you will not be disappointed.  

Above all else I left feeling 10 inches taller after staying here, a real milestone in my life, which I will never forget.  

This really is a place of transformation and I am extremely grateful to have had this experience. 

The Cuisine

Let’s get this straight right from the start – Balinese food is simply delicious – perfect for our vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. There’s no processed food at Heaven In Bali– only delicious homemade food using the freshest locally grown resources. And it is simply not possible to go to Bali and not eat a scrumptious home-made Nasi Goreng with chicken satay!  

The food is prepared fresh daily, and dinners are a slow relaxing affair with candlelight and magic. If you don’t eat this or that – no worries – Rick and Lita are happy to accommodate any of your food preferences. You will have one free day to experience the fabulous international food scene and on our last night together we’ll be eating our most fabulous meal combined with our final night concert.

The Desserts

And the desserts? Oh dear…..I do hope you plan on doing a lot of swimming and walking around to burn off the calories (just look at the picture behind this text – seriously).  

If that’s not tempting enough – it is all planned to make sure you do not have to lift a finger and all your delicious meals are fully catered for.  

The beauty of this retreat is that you can focus on you. You will be served incredible healthy meals throughout your stay with no need to even think about cooking, shopping, or washing up! 

The Delights…

To start with, no trip to Bali would be complete without indulging in a traditional Balinese massage at our fabulous retreat. Balinese massage was developed in the Indonesian province of Bali with influence from the traditional medicine systems of India, China, and Southeast Asia.

The practitioner may apply essential oils which all assist in relaxation, loosening fascial restrictions and stimulating the lymphatic system. It also detoxifies the body and nourishes and softens the skin.

For locals, the Balinese massage and relaxation is a part of life to regain harmony between body and mind.

With some beautiful scented oil on your skin, you’ll leave feeling fresh, shiny, intensely relaxed and totally refreshed! Ahhhhh…… 

On your free day you could take a tour of the highlights of Ubud with our trusty guide Kadek who is also an amazing photographer, exploring the waterfalls, giant swing or shopping for Balinese clothing, oils, jewellery, stunning artwork, colourful ceramics, and perhaps visiting the local iconic sights, or the rolling rice fields.  

There are so many options!  

And yup – don’t worry, you’ll also have some time on your free day to do your own shopping if you need some extra retail therapy!

And if you choose to use your free day for pure relaxation and spend the entire day by the pool at the retreat with a book, this is also a perfect decision. 

PLUS: No “You Have A Voice” retreat can be complete without a final concert party where each participant will sing or speak from the heart! Then we will DANCE!  

(There’s nothing like chilling-out to some body-moving rhythms) 

The Benefits:

So what can YOU expect if you spend five nights masterminding your future success AND enjoying yourself on an exquisitely decadent adventure to Bali?

Seriously!? I sure think so!  

PLUS: you’ll get to pick my brains even BEFORE you step foot on the plane!

About Bali

What can I say? I LOVE Bali. It is a beautiful Indonesian island known for its forested volcanic mountains, iconic rice paddies, beaches, and coral reefs.  

Bali has a warm tropical climate with two distinct seasons. A wet season that runs from October to March and a dry season that runs from April to September. It has a fairly even climate year round.  

The population of Bali as of 2014 was 4,225,384.  

Hinduism is the main religion (83%) and Islam is second (13.37%) followed by Christianity (2.47%).  

Balinese and Indonesian are the most widely spoken languages in Bali. English and Chinese are the next most common. However, English is spoken by most people who interact with tourists so you will have no problems communicating with folks while wandering around town.  

Bali is renowned for its diverse and sophisticated art forms, such as painting, sculpture, woodcarving, handcrafts and performing arts. 

Bali boasts one of the most diverse and innovative performing arts cultures in the world.  

The people pride themselves in being tolerant, peaceful, and open, and they abhor violence. 

The Indonesian government are strongly against drugs and have security measures in place to prevent negative influences from taking hold in their country.

There is a large expatriate community living in Bali because it is such a beautiful and delightful place with fabulous restaurants, reasonably priced, lots of activities, and a fascinating culture.  

You can feel safe walking in the markets, bargaining and shopping – of course just like when you walk about in any city you want to make sure your money and belongings are tucked away safely. It is very common for travellers to make their way around the island solo.  

It is best to drink bottled water in Bali and drink a lot to stay hydrated.

Michele Tyrell

"I am so grateful for this retreat. The sessions of coaching were pure gold. I have a clearer vision of how to achieve my goals as a result. I am grateful for the lovely people I met and the opportunity to see them achieving breakthrough. 

I loved the food, the location and especially the massage. I feel so relaxed. The final concert was amazing. The talent that was displayed in both singers and speakers was inspiring. Lastly, getting to share this journey with my husband Gary was the best of all."

Katherine Vavahea

"I am so grateful for the opportunity to give back to myself. I am so blessed to have the opportunity to be part of such a wonderful and transformative retreat. The personal breakthroughs that came through the powerful accelerated learning sessions changed lives. The sense of community developed over such a short period of time was miraculous as well as effortless.  

Reflecting on my journey and life thus far gave me the courage and hope to revise, refine and refresh my purpose. I loved the location, the food, communal dining, bonding, and walks through the rainforest to the reflections in nature. I was inspired to set new goals, and refresh and reset my purpose. I am so grateful to see everyone succeed and shine. So grateful as well for the final concert and the overall healing and breakthrough."

Flights

Arrive into the Ngurah Rai International Airport on January 11th before 2pm if possible so you can be picked up and we can get you settled in before dinner. We recommend you depart January 16th, 2021 on a later flight so you can complete the full program which ends at 11am.  

If you want to come earlier or stay later for some exploring in Bali you are MOST WELCOME! You would need to source alternate accommodation outside of the Summit dates.  

Extra Important Details from Heaven In Bali:

Our location is 824 metres (2400 feet) above sea level and enjoys a cooler climate in the mountains, with nighttime temperatures around 18C, so please bring some warmish clothes and socks for the evenings. Day time temperatures can be around 28C – 30C, so please bring your bathing suit for the pool and Jacuzzi. All towels, bath soap and shampoos are provided, but please bring your own sunscreen, bug repellent, toiletries, etc. We have only a couple of hair dryers, so if this important to you, please pack your own. We are approximately 23 kms from central Ubud, with no shops or supermarkets nearby, so if you like to snack, or have any special requirements, please bring them with you. There is a good medical clinic and new hospital in Ubud, which we use and can recommend. Due to the elevation, we do not have a big mosquito problem, but there may be a few around dusk, so best cover up and use a repellent. We do not recommend taking anti-malaria medication, as Malaria and Dengue Fever are not prevalent here in the mountains. We have Wi-Fi here in a centralised location and in most rooms. You can check your emails and post on Facebook, however for our own retreats, we discourage a lot of time on the Internet and advise attendees not to bring their phones to the meal table, as this is sacred time with each other.
