AWAKEN YOUR INNER FIRE, FLOW and SACRED FEMININE on this 11-day journey to nurture the goddess within and birth your deepest inner bliss in one of the most exotic and sacred spots in the world. Bali, also known as the Island of the Gods (and Goddesses), is often called the mecca of yoga and spirituality for good reason. Immerse yourself in elemental alchemy and experience a Spirit of Aloha like no other on this planet.
ENRICH your personal or professional practice with new cutting-edge somatic life coaching skills, all while forming meaningful bonds with inspiring women that will last a lifetime. The Beauty that Transforms retreat and program combines the measurable & powerful benefits of Somatic Coaching and Movement (Flow Arts, Yoga, & Dance) to help restore the nervous system, release old trauma, and reclaim precious, priceless, joyful BLISS.
Dance yourself free within the heart of Pele’s sister as her beauty transforms and her fiery pulse ignites within one of the most active volcanic wombs of the Earth. Yes, there is a very real & felt connection between Hawaii & Bali that we will breath, nurture & honor on this journey of awakening the sacred feminine fire within and all around.
ARE YOU READY TO BE AWAKENED BY THAT INNER FLAME?

HARNESS THE POWER OF SACRED SISTERHOOD AND YOUR DIVINE WISDOM
ALCHEMY. In this unique retreat, you will be introduced to a highly integrative coaching model & process proven to facilitate healing, transformation, and manifestation on many levels. We will dial into the most essential elements of the human healing experience with rich discussion bridging the scientific "how" with the human "why". This journey will also incorporate simple yet powerful transformational methodologies to illuminate clarity around any personal or professional challenges you may be experiencing in your life. You will be supported in diving deep into your heart and honoring your truths so that you can heal and be empowered to live life in a way that is aligned with your dreams. You will birth a new realm of grace and beauty that transforms you and the world around you.
CULTURE. This retreat will offer opportunities to experience temples, traditional ceremonies and dance, local artisans and cultural events all while basking in the beauty of Indonesia. We will also participate in a Day of Silence and meditation in which the entire island of Bali shuts down in honor of this culture’s most holy day of the year. This will give participants an opportunity to integrate the elements of the retreat and enjoy the special location.

SOUL FLOW SEVA. Community service is incorporated into this journey so we can practice the art of Seva. Seva is the sanskrit word for selfless service. Whatever we decide to do, it will be aligned with “leaving a place better than we found it.”
In addition, you’ll earn 50 credit hours and an "Experiential" certificate of completion that can be applied to the NaiAsa Institute Training & Certification Program (details will be published within the next couple weeks!)

PLEASE NOTE:
Due to the nature of the program, and the necessary energy and safety to hold space, this retreat is for women only. (We will be offering couples, mixed-gender & family retreats in the near-future.)
If you're interested in attending, then you must be at least 18 years of age and complete a brief questionnaire/application to ensure the group is a good match as this retreat may not be for all women.

"Soul flow Alchemy has become a part of my life, even after only two Retreats! I plan to continue to practice every aspect I've gained And finding a way to incorporate this amazing concept into my professional life!"
Mary Olejniczak, Beauty that Transforms - Hawai'i retreat 2015 & 2017
While this program may be healing and therapeutic in nature, it should not be mistaken for therapy.
While all levels of flow practitioners are welcome, please note this is not an advanced technical flow retreat. We will cover basic to intermediate tricks & moves with a focus on integrating mindful movement, dance, and yoga. Please be open to have a beginner’s mind! You’re welcome to request privates to deepen your technique.
We are excited, however, to have TWO movement spaces, as opposed to just one at our 2019 Bali retreat venue. This creates the possibility of being able to teach two different classes (beginner and more advanced) at the same time to better accommodate and serve a mixed level group!
ADDITIONAL OFFERINGS:
- Private Coaching Sessions
- Massage Sessions
- Flow Privates
- Private sessions with selected luminaries
ITINERARY (subject to change)
This is your journey, your time, your retreat. Please feel free to bow out of any sessions to go soak in the pool or enjoy a massage. This schedule is subject to shift and flow based on the needs of the group.*

Here's a highlight video of our 2015 & 2017 retreats on the "Big Island" of Hawai'i (this video, and the following testimonial one, is bittersweet as it shows a lot of the Kalani Retreat Center and other areas in the Puna region of the big island of Hawai'i. These areas are now covered in lava or inaccessible due to the lava flow and volcanic fumes by the ongoing eruptions of Kilauea in the Eastern Rift Zone):

ABOUT THE RETREAT CENTER
We've hand-picked Yayasan Bali Purnati because of the previously wonderful experience Dr. Jinju had as an attendee in 2011. (It's also the venue of choice for the famous Bali Spirit Festival.) The best part of having our retreat here is . . . . we will have the entire center to ourselves!
Please go here to learn more about this magical location located 15 - 20 minutes south of Ubud, the cultural center of Bali.
Enjoy the photos.

“There is no other organization or person that has more greatly affected my life than Soul Flow Alchemy and Dr. Jinju Dasalla. I almost backed out of attending the retreat because it was a time in my life when I felt deeply depressed and like a failure. I’m so thankful that I didn’t cancel my trip. I really needed to be there to help me become the person I wanted to be and let myself be me. The magic and tools you provided and the space are something I go back to every day. Your retreat brought me more peace and hope than anything I had tried before.”
- Tracy Behnke, NY, Beauty that Transforms - Hawai'i 2017 attendee
ABOUT UBUD
Ubud is in many ways Bali's cultural heart. It's in the cool mountains, just an hour's drive north of the airport. This traditional country town is home to one of Bali's royal families. You can even visit the majestic palace in the centre of town. Ubud is also well known as a flourishing crafts centre.
Around Ubud, there are the surrounding villages of Campuhan, Penestanan, Peliatan and Batuan. These communities specialize in crafts and woodcarving which are sold all over the island. There are hundreds of shops selling antiques, woodcarvings, crafts, textiles, paintings and jewelry in Ubud. You'll also find some of the best art museums in the country here. Along its main street are dozens of art studios, an excellent local craft market and galleries.
The wonderful thing about Ubud is that when you come here, you really can immerse yourself in the culture of the Balinese people and get to know them for who they are, not who we want them to be. Sure, it is a bit more tourist friendly then the everyday village on Bali, but its not westernized to the point where you could be on any tropical island in the world (i.e. Nusa Dua, the southern five star hotel strip of Bali, you might as well be in the Caribbean!).
