Embark on your Bali retreat with our inaugural group activity, designed to connect us as the main characters of our unique life stories. Set in Bali’s breathtaking landscape, our “Main Character Meet & Greet” is not just an icebreaker; it’s the beginning of a journey where we all come together to support and uplift each other. In this powerful & engaging activity, we’ll form a circle and pass around a ball of yarn. Each person will share a personal strength or positive trait, focusing on body positivity, self-confidence, and/or how they live, their lives is the main character. As the yarn travels from hand to hand, we’ll weave a tapestry that visually represents our interconnected stories and strengths. This interactive experience is a beautiful way of not only creating a beautiful and unique visually pleasing web of our strengths, differences that make unique and special, and our resiliences, but we’re also building a network and web of support and understanding at the start of our Bali adventure, symbolizing how we’re all connected in our journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

Evening Session Journal Prompt : “Twilight Triumphs: Celebrating Your Story’s Shape” Description: Chapter 1 in Bali COMPLETE! As we conclude the first chapter of our Bali adventure, “Twilight Triumphs” invites you to reflect on a day spent under the sun and riding the waves. How did your story unfold by the beach? Were there plot twists as you navigated the surf, moments where you felt at one with the sea? Write about how your body, like a beautifully written novel, experienced the highs and lows of the day’s adventure, embracing every curve and edge in the beach setting. Celebrate the completion of this first chapter, recognizing the depth and beauty of your body’s narrative, and how it contributes to the main character you are.

“Beachfront Body Embrace” is a profound experience led by renowned meditation, and Martial Arts guru, Siru Justin Burrell, designed to deepen your connection with and love for your body in the serene setting of Bali’s beach. 1. Seaside Self-Scripting: Guided Meditation for Main Character Moments Begin with Justin leading a guided meditation focused on self-love and body appreciation. Participants are encouraged to sit comfortably on the beach, feeling the warmth of the sand and the gentle sea breeze. This meditation guides you through acknowledging your body’s strength, beauty, and resilience, fostering a deep sense of gratitude and love for yourself. 2. Shoreline Scripts: Re-Scripting Your Body’s Empowered Tale: After the meditation, each participant is invited to step closer to the water and write a message, word or , phrase in the sand that someone or themselves has said about their body that has prevented them from being the main character in the past. It’s a moment to externalize inner thoughts and feelings about a word or phrase that has held you back in the past for far too long. 3. Sea’sCape the Old, Embracing the New You: As the tide comes in, watch as the waves gently erase the words, symbolizing the release of any negative thoughts or feelings about your body and reinforcing the positive affirmations. It’s a powerful reminder that just like the ocean, self-love and acceptance are continuous processes. 4. Beach Beat Bodyscapes: Justin then leads a gentle body movement session, combining elements of Martial Arts, yoga, and free movement. This isn’t about intensity but rather celebrating what your body can do, moving with love and respect for its capabilities and limitations. 5. Body Bliss Buzz: Conclude with a circle where participants can voluntarily share their experiences, insights, or feelings that arose during the activity. This shared reflection reinforces the community’s support for each individual’s journey to self-love, and remind us that we may not be as different or alone as we think.
