Bali Retreat

Mind, Breath & Ice

Come away with us, away from all the noise & distractions, to a place where time slows down and your heart beats in sync with the rhythm of nature, explore in the embrace of Pure Life.

We’ll meet you in the land of digital nomads, exotic flavours, where spirituality emanates from the very mountains. Join sacred rituals of the Balinese Hindu, the radiant colours and sounds of the temples, witness daily ceremonies and allow yourself to immerse deeply within you to a profound sense of peace you’ll find intoxicating.

We invite you into Ancient Wisdom | Future Success to refresh, rest, learn and release any stresses under ancient purification fountains. Luxuriate in opulent surroundings, succulent cuisines and feel renewed, alive and exhilarated. Bring to life your most authentic self and manifest your inner callings.

Learn and embrace the power of the feminine and masculine energies in ways that will delight and surprise you.  This proven path raises your level of vibration and awareness allowing you to manifest and attract more of what you want in a grounded and practical way and removes the slog we often use to get ahead in our lives.

This October 2023 experience a very sacred journey to bring more balance, power, joy and harmony into your life.

This transformational Mind, Breath and Ice Retreat has been designed to take you deeply into your authentic powerful self and provides proven easy tools to continue, support and empower you to flourish even more strongly over time.

Imagine the bliss of breathwork in a setting overlooking the rice paddies, inhaling the warm spiritual air that blows gently through Bali, cleansing your spirit and mind.

From our time living in Bali and Kalimantan we infuse your learning experiences with the magic of cultures who still use the ancient ley lines and grids to position temples and villages and embrace rituals that maintain a peace and stillness pervading everyday life.

You will learn enlightened ways of thinking that will change the way you design your life and how you value the way you live, enjoy and experience happiness.

Master the secret distinctions that allow you to create the life you yearn to live by embracing the tools that bring practical repeatable steps to what may appear like magic as you see other’s lives blossom and thrive around you. Ignite the energy of truth within you and feel extremely blessed that you can step out of the matrix of illusion and fully experience the magic of your life on your terms.

What our guests say...

"I lead an incredibly busy, fast-paced life, and Ancient Wisdom could not have come at a better time for me - in the midst of moving countries, launching a new business and having a key staff member resign, stress levels were high. Taking the time to create peace and balance internally and get connected with what really matters to me was an incredibly rewarding and rejuvenating experience. The blend of rest, relaxation an learning was perfect. Ancient Wisdom is a very personal experience. I highly recommend it whether you’re busy or out of balance, or seeking higher levels of learning and resonance. You need to experience Catherine and Rex as teachers to truly appreciate their skill and evolvement. This is a retreat I could do over and over again."

R Simpson

"In Bali I really grew into my femininity as a young woman. I began to feel a deep sense of beauty in myself that I had been blind to all along. Being in the Balinese culture with the incredible grace and service of the Balinese men and women taught me some of my deepest life lessons. I finally understand the core of human love and being connected to the world. When I think of Bali, tears flow to my eyes, I get goose bumps, and I realise how grateful I am for this new vision that I found through Ancient Wisdom."

Emily

" I am completely awed at the power of the Ancient Wisdom retreat. I have not only found a strong sense of peace, I have a whole new perspective on my life and my work. Using the virtues explored in Bali has completely transformed my approach to my Leadership Consultancy and I am astonished by the results for my clients."

Phil

"We read a lot about enlightenment and the balanced spiritual path from gurus like Buddha. In Bali, I openly found what it was that they speak of - the experience of enlightenment. I learned a great respect for all living things, and the peace radiated. The things that are most important to me in my life, were right there in Ancient Wisdom: Gratitude, contentment, awareness and peace. It was all there. Life in Bali reinforces everything that is learned through Ancient Wisdom. Every day you see that which you love.You are immersed in the experience. You are living the course. It was sweet, ever so sweet, to do Ancient Wisdom with Mind Matters. My whole body was tingling as though my cells were vibrating in perfect synchronicity. Ancient Wisdom validated my love for me. People around me now are recognising and responding to my finding of my essence. For the first time in a long life, I can feel the love in compliments rather than just hearing the words."

R Anthony

"The most powerful thing about being in Bali was that I got a really good strong metaphor for life that I really connected with, and I now live with it. We are really just passengers, and we just need to be aware and listening. When I say passengers, I mean passengers of our own destinies. The goals we want to achieve don’t need a whole lot of effort, we just need to listen to ourselves and act when told to and never forget to look around and enjoy it.So Ancient Wisdom consolidated everything that I have done in my life."
