SACRED AF IN BALI (AKA WHAT’S ACTUALLY BEEN GOING ON)...
SO HERE’S THE THING
So I know I’ve already shared that I can’t be as present as I normally am, which I have been feeling a little bit of pressure about, but I’m not gonna keep harping on about that because HELLO, life is lifing.
Instead I thought… what would be a really good way for me to still keep presence in this space without forcing myself to be everywhere all at once. So here I am, just telling you what’s actually going on, very much as it is, from the jungle, here in BALI.
CONTEXT BECAUSE IT MATTERS DUH
Yesterday, 13 beautiful ladies arrived on the SACRED AF retreat, which I’m running with my friend Lucy here in Bali, and honestly… oof. There has been a LOT of last-minute organising, and last week was hectic trying to run this online business, which I FUCKING LOVE, while also stepping into in-person retreats again after a long time. The venue is absolutely LUSH AF, tucked away in the jungle in Ubud, Bali, and when the women arrived, something just shifted straight away.
CURRENTLY IN THE JUNGLE, FYI
They all arrived, said their hellos, checked into their rooms, got welcome coconuts, we gave out personalised branded gift bags with water bottles and journals, and then we did a beautiful ceremony to make offerings to the Balinese gods.
AND THIS PART FEELS TOTES IMPORTANT
It was a brand new experience for most of them, and instantly the whole place felt grounded, safe, calm, and very held. There was a little bit of tiredness for me and Lucy, because hosting is A LOT, your eyes and ears are always on, you’re answering questions, holding space, running sessions, being present at all times, but me and Lucy have such a good balance working together, which honestly makes everything so much easier.
FUNNY STORY TIME
And here’s the funny bit. I met Lucy maybe six months ago here in Bali through a friend. We literally went for a beer together, and within TEN MINUTES we were like… “should we do a retreat?” And here we are. Actual real life.
ANYWAY… BACK TO IT
We did a few more bits last night, then the heavens opened, the rain poured, everyone was tired, and we all went to bed early.
HONEST MOMENT
I’m staying at the retreat centre for the full week, and I’ll be honest, I’m missing my little fluffy army, and there’s a part of me that’s like, ohhh I can’t be online as much as usual, but this is also exactly where I’m meant to be right now.
SIDE NOTE (VERY ON BRAND FOR ME)
Also… classic Mimi moment. I forgot to bring my yoga pants, even though I’m teaching yoga, and I forgot my MacBook charger too, BUT someone here has one I can borrow, so crisis semi-avoided.
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE FULL CIRCLE MOMENTS
Today, I did my first in-person yoga class in more than five years, and I wasn't overly nervous about it because I didn't want to step into the fear of, oh, what if people are judging me or this and that? But you know what? It was a breeze. It was just like riding a car. My body remembered. And yeah, it was wonderful.
AND YES, THIS IS HAPPENING
This morning we’ve done ice baths, sauna, pool time, all taking turns, lots of breathing and laughter, and now we’re heading to lunch. Later I’m taking them on a village tour to see some sacred stone carvings, and then we’ve got breathwork followed by a fire letting-go ceremony tonight. So yeah… that’s the update from me, live from SACRED AF, HERE IN BALI.
REAL TALK MOMENT
So in a Bali nutshell, there you go.
How is YOUR week going so far, and if you’ve got any questions about Bali, retreats, jungle life, or anything else, fire away in here, and I’ll keep you posted as the week unfolds.
ENDING WITH GRATITUDE BECAUSE HELLO ALWAYS OBVS
Have the most beautiful day, amazing people, and thank you, genuinely, for your patience and understanding. I’m very grateful.
