SUMMARY:REJUVENATE: Women's Soul Song Retreat
DESCRIPTION:“Picture this\, it’s March 2026\, and you have given yourself the beautiful gift of a retreat in a secret lush tropical hideaway just nearby Ubud\, Bali. You are so grateful to yourself for having made this decision. It feels like exactly the place you should be right now. With exactly the people you need around you.”\n  \nThis retreat is equally suited to those who are new to Bali and those who know the island well. Each morning we will start with a meditation practice\, to refresh the mind\, followed by a gentle morning Hatha yoga practice\, suitable to all levels of yogis (from new to more advanced.) \n \nBeautiful Lotus Pond that you walk through to enter the BeingSattva Retreat nearby to Ubud\, Bali \nFollowing a delicious breakfast featuring fresh tropical fruits\, you will have free time to relax or get a massage\, or swim in the beautiful bean shaped pool. In the afternoon we will hold two soul song writing sessions\, for those of you who’d like to birth your own soul song. This can also be a poem if you aren’t confident with adding music. One afternoon we will also go on an excursion to the waterfall nearby to immerse ourselves in Bali’s powerful healing waters. \nYou might be going through a big transition in your life and feeling a little lost as to which direction to take\, moving forwards. You might have already stepped onto a new path but need some time out to rest and reflect and tune in to your spiritual guidance\, with the support of other beautiful Goddesses on this journey with you \nThis is a retreat particularly for women who are looking to dive deeper into their soul’s essence and bring out more of their gifts into the world. Whether you are already a songwriter / musician or poet\, or you haven’t yet explored that aspect of yourself\, you are welcome on this retreat. \nRETREAT VENUE: BEING SATTVA\, UBUD\, BALI\n \nThe architecture at BeingSattvaa blurs the lines between inside and outside in a seamless way- this is made possible because our temperatures remain between 20-30 degrees throughout the year. All living spaces are connected to nature; water\, landscape and building come together in a harmonious way. Using a sparse palette of materials with a predominance of dark wood\, our buildings radiate positive energy. \nAt BeingSattvaa\, we begin each day with an appreciation for all that we’ve been given. You can relax and let yourself stroll through our sprawling gardens\, feeling the blades of grass in between your toes and taking in the scent of the flowers around. You can take a moment to unplug – listen to the songs of the birds\, the buzz of bees and butterflies\, and the whisper of the wind; you can wander around our ample fruit and vegetable garden taking in the sights of the majestic coconut palms\, the swaying banana plants\, the lush jackfruit trees and many more… \nAt BeingSattvaa\, we incorporate a routine that includes the four pillars of wellness: Exercise\, Nutrition\, Mindfulness Practice\, and Rest and Relaxation. \n \n  \nAt Being Sattva\, there are two yoga / meditation shalas – one with a roof – overlooking the jungle\, and one a terrace overlooking the ravine. Both are beautiful and tranquil spaces to practice sitting with yourself\, being with whatever is arising in each and every moment. \n*There is not a picture of me leading this group as it’s the first time I have offered this retreat at this venue. \n  \n \n\nChelle\, with a beautiful group of singers after a Kirtan Session at the Ibiza Yoga retreat\, Spain \nWriting Your Soul Song\nIt is my goal that each woman who attends this retreat comes away with a unique and beautiful ‘Soul Song’. Whether you are a musician or not\, I believe that together\, we can do this! You will write your lyrics during our first workshop\, and in our second one\, we’ll together work on the music. Then this is the song you can sing to yourself if you ever find yourself getting off track in your life. This song of your soul will remind you of who you are and why you are here! \nRETREAT SCHEDULE\nDay 1 : Welcome and Introduction to our REJUVENATE Yoga and Soul Song Retreat \nDay 2: Opening to Bali’s Healing Energy and Setting Intentions for the Retreat \nDay 3: Letting Go of Old Stories and Opening to our Soul’s Song \nDay 4: Channeling our Soul’s Song (Or Poem) \nDay 5: Blessings and Giving Thanks \nEach morning we will begin with meditation at 6:30 am\, followed by our yoga practice. At 8:15 we will have our breakfast and then the rest of the morning will be your free time to enjoy relaxing by the pool\, having a massage or doing some journalling in your room\, working on your Soul Song! On two afternoons of our retreat\, we will enjoy a creativity workshop\, where you will be guided to channeling your soul’s song in this moment of your life. This may be a poem\, or you may want to make it into a song by adding music. You are not required to have any songwriting experience for this\, but some musical knowledge will be a plus (though not mandatory!). There are a few different instruments available at the retreat that we will make use of in these workshops. \nWhat does your soul want to communicate to you in this moment of your “one wild and precious life”? \n(to quote the fantastic American poet Mary Oliver). \n \nTypical Day’s Schedule\n\nMorning Meditation: 6:30 – 7am\nSlow Hatha Yoga: 7am – 8:15am\nNourishing Breakfast: 8:15am – 9am\nWalking Meditation: 10:30am – 11:30am\nHealthy Vegetarian Lunch: 12pm – 1pm\nFirst Soul Song Workshop: 3pm – 4pm\nSpa / Massage: 4pm – 5pm\nSharing Circle: 5pm – 6:30\nHealthy Vegetarian Dinner: 6:30 – 8pm\n\nHEALTHY VEGETARIAN FOOD\n \nThe Beingsattvaa kitchen is unique and open\, overlooking the rainforest.

The weekend consisted of meditation\, workshops and yoga – all of which were challenging\, and subsequently more rewarding. Michelle created a programme that fostered deep reflection and subsequently garnered profound personal insights.  As a very private person I thought I would be uncomfortable given the personal nature of the workshops\, but Michelle created a warm\, non judgemental\, accepting space in which I felt comfortable sharing\, and getting deep into the heart of things.  The time I spent with Michelle was really valuable\, and many changes have come about in my life as a result. \nKim\, Radical Self Love Retreat\, Bali\, 2019 \nMichelle’s Radical Self Love retreat in Bali (August 2019) was perfectly timed.  Physically and mentally drained\, it was time to put myself first\, but how?  We are so conditioned to go\, go\, go.  Mother\, wife\, employee.  We do what we need to do.  But what about us?  How do we take care of ourselves?  The retreat gave me the opportunity to reset and begin the rest of my life. Commencing the day with meditation is amazing.  So calming.  Let everything go and start each day fresh.  Follow up meditation with yoga to get your mind and body feeling strong and refreshed.  Complete focus on yourself. \nThe self love classes caused me to really dig deep and be honest with myself.  It is time to accept who I am\, flaws and all.  Be proud of who I am and where I am at in my life.  Hold my head up high and live life to the fullest.  Create the life for myself that I deserve.   Deal with that ‘negative voice’ in my head rationally and importantly\, don’t take life too seriously; roll with the punches.  Be present each day\, stop planning for 2\, 5\, 15 years time. Enjoy each day\, relax\, take time to just be.  Give myself permission to enjoy life and do the things that I love to do.  The venue is really comfortable and relaxing.  Up at sunrise\, bed at sunset\, so natural.  Spend free time relaxing in a hammock\, going for a walk\, snorkelling in search of fish\, or having a massage.   I came home very relaxed and determined to continue my new way of life.   I can thoroughly recommend attending.  I can’t wait for Michelle to schedule a retreat in India. \nJenny\, Radical Self Love\, Bali\, 2019 \nBeautiful Bali Sandat was a Tranquil Hideaway from the maddening hustle and bustle of work life to hold a yoga self-love retreat.  Located near a local village on a quiet beach and surrounded by tranquil spacious gardens\, the location was ideal for massage\, meditation and yoga. \nThe local Balinese staff were so happy and friendly and always willing to help whenever they could.  Michelle is passionate and committed to her belief in yoga and self-love.  She is extremely knowledgeable\, enthusiastic and supportive.  It was a truly inclusive and intimate environment where we all felt comfortable to share and grow together. \nSix days of early morning meditation and yoga\, self-love exploration\, massages by the beach\, great food\, in a tranquil environment for relaxation and contemplation to the sounds of local birdlife and the calming hush of the ocean was just what the doctor ordered. The beach house where I stayed was lovely and relaxing\, and outside of class I enjoyed many sedate hours on the day bed and hammock contemplating what we had learned in class.  I also indulged in many\, many delicious massages down by the beach that I highly recommend.  As a person with disability\, Michelle went out of her way to ensure I was supported and totally included in activities in the retreat and at the beach house.  The only problem I had with the retreat was that it was not long enough\, and I had to come back to work. However\, I was so much better for my Bali yoga self-love experience and had developed tools that prepared me to return.  I can highly recommend going on a retreat with Michelle\, and would happily go again. \nSteven\, Radical Self Love Retreat\, Bali\, 2019 \n\nWHAT’S INCLUDED?\nIncluded in the Retreat Price: \n\nAccomodation in a luxurious room (double or single occupancy)\nHealthy and Nourishing Home Cooked Breakfast\, Lunch and Dinner (begins from dinner on Day 1 and ends with lunch on Day 5)\nAll Curated and Inclusive Yoga Classes (catered for all levels of practice)\nAll Guided Meditation Classes\n2 Soul Songwriting Workshop\nAirport pick-up and drop-off shuttle service to airport in Denpasar\n1 Welcome Massage Treatment at the Retreat Spa\n1 x Waterfall Excursion\nMaterials for the Songwriting Workshop\n\nWhat’s not included in the Retreat: \n\nAirfares\nTravel Insurance\nAny extra Spa Treatments (beyond the 1 Massage) or personal shopping\n\n\nRETREAT PRICE\nSuper Early Bird Rates – valid until Dec 7th\, 2025 \nShared Room (double occupancy): USD $1050 \nDouble Room (single occupancy): USD $1550 \n  \nABOUT YOUR GUIDE / TEACHER\n \nStill from Music Video (made in Bali!) for the latest song from AKASHA LOVE: You Know I Told You What I Needed To \nMichelle Taffe (aka AKASHA LOVE) was born in Australia but has been a ‘global yogi’ slash ‘global artist’ since her early twenties when she first left Australia in search of adventure! She lived in Spain from 2000 – 2011\, where she indulged her passion for life and for all things Spanish in Barcelona (men\, food\, music\, wine…!) in her late twenties\, learning fluent Spanish before moving to the beautiful island of Mallorca to seek her fortune as a Hostess / Chef on Superyacht boats. It was there\, while living with her Swedish boyfriend that she began the yoga journey  (after taking her first Vipassana meditation retreat in Thailand just after the Asian Tusnami in 2005). Yoga and meditation have been her core self care practices since this time\, and in 2017 she finally took the plunge to do her Yoga Teacher Training on the gorgeous island of Koh Phangan\, in the Gulf of Thailand. Since this time\, she’s been leading Yoga and Meditation Retreats and Experiences in Australia\, Romania\, Bali and Italy. \nFrom 2011\, she moved back to Australia to launch her Global Yogi project. This was a stunning website with luscious images of inspiring uplifting yoga and spirit destinations around the globe for spiritual seekers. For the Global Yogi\, she was the CEO\, writer\, graphic designer\, business manager\, interviewer\, and head salesperson! This was a fun experience where she was able to travel in South East Asia\, Australia and Europe\, visiting and ‘testing out’ many different yoga retreats and spiritual destinations\, reporting on them for her 3000+ global yogi readers around the world. At the height of it’s success\, Global Yogi had a newsletter subscriber base of more than 3000. In 2019\, struggling with wearing all of these hats for the business\, Chelle decided to close it down and switch into the next chapter as Singer Songwriter / Artist and Retreat Host. \nIn 2020\, during the first year of COVID she decided to become more dedicated to her path as and Artist / Musician while living in her beautiful hermit hideaway on the North Bali coast. Here she divinely channelled her artist name AKASHA LOVE (Space for Love) and wrote the 6 six songs for her first album (The Youniverse) and created the first YOUNIVERSE calendar with her own artworks. In 2022 and 2023\, she lived in between Bali and Europe (Sicily and Austria) with her Austrian partner and shared her music as a street musician. Now she’s (single again!) and in the phase of sharing her music at Kirtans and Open Mics around Ubud\, Bali. She very much looks forward to connecting with you and helping draw out your inner singer songwriter! \nThanks to her curiosity and global travels\, she now speaks Spanish\, French and Italian as well as very basic Bahasa Indonesia and basic Thai. She can say many things about her life so far but one this is for sure: It hasn’t been boring! 🙂 \n  \nFAQs\nDo I have to have a yoga practice to attend? \n~ No\, you can attend even if you haven’t done yoga ever or in a long time \nDo I have to attend all the sessions? \n~ It is recommended that you attend all the sessions\, as this is a group experience so it’s important that everyone that comes is intending to attend all the retreat’s sessions \nDo I need to have experience as a songwriter / musician for the songwriting session? \n~ No\, you don’t need to have any musical experience\, though you do need to have interest in this process. If you don’t feel up to writing a song\, you can write a poem. \nDo I need a meditation practice to attend the retreat? \n~ No\, you don’t need to have a meditation practice to attend the retreat. \nWhat kind of meditation will be taught on the retreat? \n~ The meditation practice shared is based on Mindfulness meditation from the Buddhist tradition\, including watching the breath\, loving kindness\, compassion practice – all designed to bring you more into present moment awareness. \nDo I have to share on this retreat? \n~ I will encourage you to share as it does really help others to know that everyone goes through the same types of struggles and challenges in life\, but nobody will be obliged to share if you don’t feel like it. Sharing on a retreat enhances and enriches the connections between the retreat-ents and helps to create a sense of emotional safety and bonding between the participants. \nCan I bring my phone to the retreat? \n~ You can bring your phone\, but you will be encouraged to leave it in your room and to minimise your time on it. \nAre there any spiritual or religious elements in this retreat? \n~ I may reference teachings from Buddhism but the emphasis is always on the practicality of these teachings for supporting self compassion and inner peace. \nDo I need to have a certain level of physical fitness to attend the retreat? \n~ You do need to have basic mobility for the practice but you don’t need to have any particular fitness level. \nWill I have one on one time with the teacher? \n~ Yes\, each evening you will have some time to check in with the teacher and also during the day you will have the opportunity to talk with the teacher if you need to. \nWhat do I need to bring? \n~ The tropical climate at Ubud\, Bali is warm and sunny\, with high humidity and expectations of frequent rain. It is best to dress in light\, comfortable clothing. In addition\, you are encouraged to consider bringing the following items: \n\nWalking shoes for outdoor activities\nLight jacket or shawl if you tend to get cold\nUmbrella\, sunglasses\, sunscreen\, mosquito repellent\, etc. for the outdoors\n​Water bottle / flask for keeping hydrated\n\nThe retreat centre provides bed linens\, blankets\, pillows\, meditation cushions\, and yoga mats\, but please feel free to bring your own if necessary. \n  \nCANCELLATION POLICY\nTo secure your place on the retreat\, 10% deposit is required.

SUMMARY:Black Sand Bliss | Yoga + Adventure Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Black Sand Bliss Yoga and Adventure Retreat\nNeed some time out from the normal life routine? Come and join me in Bali for some beachside bliss on the beautiful quiet side of the island – North Bali. This is the Bali most tourists never see\, hidden away from the crowds\, where the Balinese villages are as they have been for centuries\, and where village people live as they have lived for centuries too. Many of those in the village where we stay – Bondalem\, are fishermen. There are not so many rice paddies here but there’s loads of amazing tropical fruits and vegetables\, many grown up on the mountain one hour away on Kintamani. \nWe will spend our mornings doing our meditation and then yoga practice\, and then you may want to jump in for a quick swim right before a breakfast of tropical fruits\, and a choice of jaffles\, omlette\, or the famous Balinese banana or pineapple pancake. \nIn the afternoon there’s time for a massage with our onsite Balinese Masseur or a Tarot session with me\, and one afternoon we’ll also head over to the nearby waterfall for a cleansing dip after lunch. \nWe’ll spend four days at the beach in North Bali and then we will head over to East Bali\, passing by Candidasa on the way to Vigin Beach. There we will stay for three days and enjoy a Melukat water purification ceremony at a stunning temple there. \nAccomodation\n \n\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Balcony\, Main House\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Double Room\, Main House\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Twin Room\, Main House\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Relaxing in the garden of Bali Sandat Guesthouse\n				\n		\n\nNorth Bali Guesthouse\nAccomodation in North Bali is in a beautiful\, secluded guesthouse in North Bali\, far away from the madding crowds. Rooms are simple\, and elegant\, aerated by traditional ceiling fans and most of them are blessed with a view of the sea. All rooms have a big balcony with traditional Balinese chaise longue chairs or hammocks for afternoon reading. This guesthouse is set in a splendid tropical garden full of flowers and many different varieties of tropical fruits – some of them arriving on your table for breakfast! \nEast Bali (Virgin Beach) Guesthouse\n  \n \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nOur accomodation for our second 3 days (in East Bali just nearby Virgin Beach) is another simple and beautiful guesthouse in the shade of the sacred Mount Agung. You can clearly see Agung peaking out from behind the clouds when you stand out the front of your room. These are simple Balinese style bamboo huts on stilts\, each one with a balcony\, and some even with baths in the bathroom (baths are important for the Balinese people!). \nDelicious Home Made Balinese Cuisine\n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n \nAll the Breakfast will be delicious\, fresh tropical fruit\, tea or coffee\, and a choice of pancake\, jaffle\, or omelette. Coffee and tea will be available all day. Lunch and dinner will be paid for separately. \nFood offered at our guesthouse is healthy\, fresh\, traditional Balinese-style vegetarian meals\, and also meat / fish\, freshly cooked on-site. All recipes are derived from the rich culinary heritage of Bali and indonesia. So whether you are starving for a traditional Nasi Goreng (fried rice) or you are wanting more of a Balinese delicacy (such as Lawar – which blends finely chopped coconut with delicious traditional spices and your choice of fish\, meat or vegetables)\, your appetite will be satisfied by the wonderful cooks! They also create great innovative and refreshing drinks from the fresh fruits available\, and have invented a few wonders that you’ll only find here: make sure to ask! \n  \nRecent Retreaters at Les Waterfall from July 2025\nHighlights include!\n\n3 x morning and evening yoga classes\n3 x morning meditation sessions\n1 x guided evening mantra Kirtan chanting (optional)\n1 x Tarot / Reiki Session\n1 x Balinese Massage\n1 Waterfall Excursion\n1 x Melukat Water Ceremony at Balinese temple\n6 nights accommodation\nDaily delicious breakfast of fresh fruits and omlette / pancake / Jaffle\nSnorkelling (equipment provided) in the beautiful coral reef just 20 metres out from the beach\n\nYoga + Meditation\n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n \nEach morning we will do a Vipassana Inspired meditation practice for 30 minutes\, before our one hour energetic Hatha Vinyasa Yoga session. The class will be tailored to the different levels and abilities in the group\, so that it’s inspiring and invigorating for everyone. You might be an experienced yogi/ini\, practicing for the last ten years\, or someone who’s only tried a few classes. \nThe morning and evening classes will be tailored to fit everyone’s different level\, with different variations of the postures for each person according to their yoga level and their energetic state for the day. I like to highlight that yoga is not a performative sport\, but rather a practice that helps us to really connect in with our body and soul\, so as to be more embodied in our every day lives. The fitness benefits gained through the exercise as well as the breathwork inherent in any true yoga class are also a great extra! But they are more of a side bonus rather than the number one goal : that being unification of the energies of body\, mind and spirit : i.e the meaning of the word yoga. \nBalinese Water Purification Ritual in East Bali\nhttps://akashalove.life/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Melukat-Water-Ceremony.mp4\n  \nAfter spending four days at our beautiful guesthouse on the beach in North Bali\, we will head a couple of hours drive East\, past the charming beach town Candidasa and onto our next destination nearby to Virgin Beach. Virgin beach is a white sand beach and one of the most beautiful swimming (not surf) beaches in Bali. There are some great little restaurants here\, as well as the option to get a massage directly on the beach. Even though it’s not far away\, the vibe is different here and you’ll see another side of this incredible island\, which is known as the heart chakra of the world. And an island of very strong feminine healing energy. They say that Bali either embraces you\, or kicks you out. But we trust that we’ll all be embraced on this magical mystical journey. \nOn the way to East Bali we will stopover at one of Bali’s ancient Bali Aga villages – the Bali Aga are a unique tribe who are different from the rest of the Balinese\, and they do look a little different. Their beliefs and their traditions are also different and date back to before the Hindu religion came to the island. They are famous for not wanting to interbreed with the other Balinese\, so as to keep the uniqueness of their own tribe. The one Bali Aga village nearby to Candidasa is an amazing example of one of these communities – the village is a living\, intact Bali Aga village that looks like it was built in the stone age. We can visit the weavers who work their producing beautiful fabrics and also have a guided tour by a Bali Aga local. \nGet in Quick to Secure Your Bonus on this Retreat!\nThis is a brand new Retreat on offer at AKASHA LOVE RETREATS as it’s the first time that I will be taking retreaters to East Bali as well as hosting them in the North. \nI am very excited to have you be the very first group and if you book in for this very special experience by June 15th\, I will give you a bonus 1:1 Free one hour session with me for either a Tarot Reading or an Inner Self Healing Session (value: AUD $111-150). \nPrice includes: \n\nAccomodation 3 nights at North Bali Guesthouse\nAccomodation 3 nights at East Bali (Virgin Beach) Guesthouse\nTea and Coffee and Water all day\nBreakfast for 6 days\n1 x Balinese Massage\n1 x Reiki or Tarot Session\n1 x Waterfall Excursion North Bali\n1 x Purification Ceremony at Water Temple East Bali\nTransfer from North Bali to East Bali\n3 times Morning Meditation Sessions\n3 time morning Hatha Yoga Classes\n3 times evening Yin Yoga Classes\n\nPrice doesn’t include: \n\nFlights\nTravel Insurance\nAirport Transfer (can be arranged at extra cost of $80 per person)\nLunch and Dinner (price ranges from AUD $3.50 – $10)\nExtra drinks (juices etc. throughout the day – added onto bill)\n\nBook your spot by June 15th to receive your 1:1 Free Session with me (via Zoom before the retreat). \nEmail me directly at: hello (@) akashalove (dot) life to reserve your spot on this retreat. \nFree 1:1 Session bonus applies until June 15th. \n  \n
