“Cynthia’s Christmas retreat in Bali was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life thus far. I am so grateful to have met everyone in it. I still talk about that Christmas surprise. The hike and silent disco. I’ve never cried so many tears of joy!
I can’t even explain how amazing it was. I rave about it to anyone who asks and those who don’t! She was amazing and her energy was spectacular. It was my first solo trip, and I made friends for life and memories I will never forget. Can’t wait to join another retreat of hers!”
~ Jill G, attended 2018 Bali Dec Holidays Retreat
So, why Bali island in Indonesia?
Having traveled 70 countries and living around the world, I’ve picked up a bit of an intuition for identifying spaces with tranquil vibes and potent energy. Where the land and mother nature nurtures powerful group journeys, elevating transformational group wellness retreats to its greatest potential.
These places have become second homes for me. Part of my mission is to share these sacred spaces and community with others beyond conventional tourism. This will be my 5th retreat in Bali (18th overall!), a super magical and transformative island for me. The home of all my yoga trainings, accelerating a time of major growth, and where I spent most of my nomadic remote years pre-pandemic.
The Balinese are so gracious, their culture and rituals so inspirational. Each and every visit to the “Island of the Gods” has gifted so much love, healing, magic, and fun. I loves to hand-curate retreats all over the world in my favorite places I hold deep connections with. Nowhere else holds a deeper connection to than Bali. I hope I get the opportunity to share it with you and explore some new adventures!
Life has changed so many ways since this experience… I was in Bali last Christmas at the most awesome yoga retreat with the most incredible humans. If you ever get the chance to go on a retreat with this Wonder Woman – Cynthia, jump on the chance! “

“Cynthia’s Bali retreat over the holidays was exactly what the doctor ordered! An oasis set in the paradise that is Bali. Cynthia was generously accommodating to ensure we had enough time and activities to explore, while still getting our yoga fix in. A sense of genuine community was formed between everyone, such a diverse, welcoming group of beautiful individuals. The retreat rejuvenated and nourished my body, mind, and spirit. Leaving me inspired and excited for all there is to come!”

What People Say from past Bali Retreats:
“The highlight was the morning yoga classes. As someone who's never done yoga before, I thought it was very invigorating and energizing. I think I'll take that back home with me and add into my lifestyle. I also liked the activity around visualizing your ideal life. Having that written out will help me be more tactical to achieve the goals I want."
"This past week has been surreal. Climbing the volcano in the dark, going with someone's vision with people you just met, then the sunlight comes out, and you look out at what you've accomplished. It turned into pure happiness on Christmas day... with a group I felt like I've known my whole life. This opened up something I've never been good at - sharing, transforming that in me. Making my heart open is huge!"
“I came in without expectations and it was a great mix of yoga, excursions, and bonding with others. A great way to ground myself before the new year. The vibe was really relaxed. Everyone nicely came together - laughed and had individual conversations. This retreat made me realize some imbalance in my life and was nice way to help me get things back on track."
"Surprises filled with love and care for the places that we're in. Cynthia genuinely seems to include something for everyone. We just did it over Christmas holidays, a time when people seek connection. And we were able to have that due to how Cynthia facilitates the experience. And she builds into the retreat so much to interact with your surroundings."

That was the biggest eye opener – I want to continue moving. I don’t want to be stagnant. If you’re looking for a really great time or after something different outside of your comfort zone, I highly recommend Cynthia!“
