Are you looking for some time out from your normal routine?
I am happy to announce the possibility to do personal retreats with me here at Bali Sandat in the beautiful and tranquil North side of Bali.
Why Retreat at Bali Sandat?
Bali Sandat is a gorgeous guesthouse set amongst lush tropical gardens and fronting a nearly deserted black sand beach. Founded by Tilli, an adventurous soul from Switzerland, Bali Sandat has recently passed its twentieth anniversary serving as a place of rest and relaxation in this quiet corner of still relatively untouched Bali. There is a lovely family atmosphere here, with five Balinese kids and their parents living on the property.
Each evening you will be serenaded to sleep with the long slow in breath and out breath of the waves, and each morning you will be woken by the merry twittering of birds in the Mango and Papaya trees which are scattered throughout the property.
Your Accomodations
[URIS id=2336]
The rooms here are super beautiful, thanks to Tilli’s European Alps style! Each one has a beautiful bed with crisp attractive linens, a mosquito net (this is the tropics) and a gorgeous bathroom tiled with the volcanic black stones found all around here.
On your balcony there is a hammock – perfect for your after lunch siesta, and a table where you can sit and have an evening coconut or do you journalling. If I were you I would request the left hand room on the top floor of the main house. Waking up there you feel like an exotic princess of the East, surveying her luscious territories from a high place which gives her the perfect view while protecting her privacy….!
Your Food
Bali sandat has a fabulous chef, Kadek, who will lovingly prepare a range of delicious and delightful Indonesian dishes for you, using the basics of Balinese cooking – coconut, chilli, peanuts, lemongrass, lime, alfalfa sprouts and mung beans, tofu and tempe – combined with some European touches added by Tilli such as home made bread*!
*There are not many guesthouses in Bali where you can eat beautiful Indonesian cuisine for dinner and have have freshly backed bread with butter and homemade papaya jam in the morning!
All kinds of fresh juices are also available throughout the day. Papaya juice with a twist of lime is highly recommended.
Your Retreat Program
Given this is a personal retreat, we can design a program that suits you. You may have a particular question you would like to ask yourself over these three days, or you may just want to practice yoga, and meditate in silence to find what is wanting to emerge next in your life.
Yoga
I can lead you through the Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series if a strong practice is your thing, or we can do a morning Vinyasa or Hatha Flow. In the evening I can guide you through a Yin or Restorative Yoga practice ending with Tibetan bowls and Savasana accompanied by me on guitar.
Meditation
Each morning I offer silent meditation practice – with guidance, and if you wish to practice meditation throughout the day, we can also design a meditation program for you which I will support you in.
Other Guidance
I can also offer you a range of self development workshops taken from my Radical Self Love retreats, including diving into the Work of Byron Katie, learning EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), asking yourself questions using Theta Healing, and creative practices such as drawing your own Self Love Mandala.
Whatever you need for your personal retreat, we can co-create for you.

Testimonials
Here are some nice things previous retreatants have said about their experience with me.
“I joined Michelle for her Radical Self Love yoga and meditation retreat, and I am so glad I did.
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.”
Thanks Michelle! X”

“Attending Michelle’s Radical Self Love Retreat in Bali was an amazing experience, perfectly timed, and delivered all I was seeking and more. The location was perfect and I felt warmly welcomed and deeply nurtured from the moment I arrived until the moment I left.
Michelle created a beautiful, open, loving, safe space for me to connect with myself in ways I hadn’t realised that I could or even needed.
I very much enjoyed the daily yoga and meditation practices which served to help connect with my mind and body in ways I hadn’t before and by the end of the 6 days had me feeling very pleased with my achievements and confident to continue my practice once back home.
I absolutely loved the daily self-love workshops and gained so much from them. Michelle covered so many meaningful topics which guided me to some powerful realisations and an overall deepening love and appreciation for myself.
Michelle is a lovely being and an amazing facilitator who is so clearly living and growing in self-love and who is also deeply drawn to helping others to dive deeper into themselves and deeper into their own self-loving journeys.
I would absolutely join another of Michelle’s retreats, and for anyone seeking a safe, loving space to connect with oneself on a deeper level, I’d highly recommend attending.”

“I found the overall RSL retreat to be so inspiring and it has assisted me to become more grounded and connected with myself. My teacher, Michelle Taffe, was excellent at bringing people together in a workshop environment, in terms of connecting both with themselves and with each other as a group.
I felt a strong bond develop as the retreat progressed, within the group, that enabled us all to relax more, to open up as a group on emotional and personal, even in a sense spiritual, levels.
Michelle is also a great yoga and meditation teacher; she is patient, communicates very well, and demonstrates yoga practice and meditation on both spiritual and physical platforms, in a connected, calming, supportive and inspiring way. I would really encourage individuals who wish to explore and develop self love , as well as to enhance their yoga and meditation techniques, to attend one of Michelle’s RSL retreats. Apart from the fact that she chooses great locations in which to open up an ambient space for RSL exploration!”
