SUKA CITA
Essential Happiness & Pampering Retreat in Bali
 Indonesia
April 15 to 25, 2020
THIS RETREAT HAS BEEN CANCELED DUE TO THE CURRENT SITUATION

"There is a tropical paradise stuffed with beaches, entertainment and art called Bali. It’s called the Island of Gods,
created by the Gods so the people could worship them." — Maria Tugayeva

 This Retreat is going to raise the thermostat on our Essences of Pampering and Self Love.

Be prepared to RECEIVE.

"Life, religion and art all converge in Bali.
They have no word in their language for 'artist' or 'art.' Everyone is an artist." - Anais Nin
WHERE IN THE WORLD?
Kuta is located on Bali's southern peninsula. The town is lively and full of bustle, sounds and shopping, which will provide a beautiful contrast to the  serenity of our villa, as well as give us a home base from which to explore.

When we are not in class, we we will have the option to take day trips to  temples, waterfalls, rice terraces, Ubud, experience a water blessing at Tirta Empul, visit Nusa Penida island, maybe go rafting or even take in a a little surf initiation. 

And if we decide to, we can rent some scooters!

Alternately, we may choose to stay home and rest, write, read, swim in the sea or the pool - or savor a massage.

Weather on Bali in April
"In April we usually expect only a third of the rainfall of March. So...yes...the sunny days have arrived. While March was still in-between rainy season and dry season, in April things change on Bali. Clean beaches, not too windy at the coast, sunny weather and the hotels filling up slowly. Still, it can rain from time to time. Anyhow, it can rain any day in the tropics, so dry does not mean no rain at all."

 THE COURSE
During our time together, I will share with you my “Essential Happiness Program" with a special emphasis on the Dancing with Life's Magic,  and what it means to us.

The course is designed to challenge you as well as support you. Throughout the week, you will be guided towards discovering (or re-discovering) a new level of intimacy with your authentic self. You will  learn  simple and powerful tools to help you create a life that lines up with your "true you,"  tools which you will  be able to share with other people in your life, as well.

Increased levels of Flow, Joy, Connection, and Calm Power are the by products of this intensive course.

Mostly, whether this is your first time or you have gone on a Retreat with me before or not, you will be reminded of the magic of life, and how to dance with it.

OUR HOME
Villa Singa is stunning and is going to hold us in an embrace of Comfort, Beauty and Pampering as we go through our transformative classes.

We will share 6 bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and air conditioning - and our very own beautiful swimming pool  in which to relax,  as well as decks to take in the view of the sea below.

Two local chefs will be there with us to prepare delicious meals for us, spoil us with infused waters and more.

Massages will be ready available, either in our rooms or in the warm breeze, outside.

From our home, we will be able to see Bali's volcanoes in the morning, the magical Bali sunset view, and the shoreline of Seminyak with lights at night.

Our "secret beach" is only 80 meters (and 50 stairs) away.

When we are not eating at home or enjoying an excursion, we will have access to a few restaurants a short walk away from our home, including  the typical "warungs" right on on Balangan beach.

"The rich and intense experience of the Retreat has opened up SO much wonder and awe for me.  I feel as if I am experiencing a powerful REBIRTH; shedding lots of tissue papers for sure, replacing old thoughts with beautiful new empowering ones."

The Essential Happiness Retreat is infused with both practical tools and magic. The combination is exceptionally unique and offers a life changing experience. Going back home with a full heart and a basket loaded with tools feels wonderful.

I truly love and am happy with myself. I didn’t know how much this Retreat could help me, but I knew something good was bound to happen. My primary reason for signing up was to fulfill a lifelong dream of returning to France. Anything I got out the Retreat would be the frosting on the cake. It was more than the best frosting, it was the whole cake and bakery shop.


A week in France, isolated from the maddening crowd, gave me a much needed opportunity for personal growth. Surrounded by beauty and like minded individuals, I was given a gift and now possess a fabulous array of tools to foray into everyday life! I am refreshed, realigned, and ready for anything life throws my way!


Sweet, beautiful, magic, full of laughter, ease, learning. A few tears, and deep, rich thought. Easy days and deep days at the villa. Sweet and exciting days out in the world. Trust and discovery, exploration and kindness. Newness, and beauty around every corner.
This was nothing short of life-changing. There are moments when you can say “this was me before, and this is me after,” and this Retreat is one of these times. I am leaving energized and of course - happy! Thank you, thank you.

If you are looking for the perfect balance of work and play, this Retreat is for you.Not only do you get to learn amazing, life-altering tools, you get a chance to practice them among the other participants who quickly feel like family. My toolbox and my heart are full.

Everything about this trip was thought provoking. Even on the fun day field trips, we talked about tools, and about how they directly applied. Thank you!

The Retreat is a time to be given powerful tools to lead a more authentic life. Learning and laughter, combined with comradery and friendship - in another culture - lay the ground work for magical change in your life.

An inspiring week. See the beauty of Southern France, relax at a lovely villa, and also gain new insights to make your life more full of purpose and joy. Maybe the best feedback as to how worthwhile I consider it to be, is that this my third Essential Happiness Retreat!

“I would not have believed I could change my life in one short week. I did. It works. If you are unsure about attending, do it. You will not regret it, and you too will be amazed and grateful.”

“ANYONE reading this. IT IS A LIFE CHANGER. Go. If you can, go.
