BALI RETREAT

We allow for two afternoons of free time in the itinerary that you can use to relax at the villa, go out to explore or go shopping. However, all activities and workshops in the itinerary are optional so you are welcome to skip something in favour of some extra pool time!

All rooms are shared occupancy with one other female guest. Each room has two beds, either two single beds or one double and one single bed. We do not have single occupancy rooms available at the villa.

Paid room upgrades to a single room may be made available closer to the retreat date if the there are last minute cancellations.

You don’t have to have a blog or be planning to start one when you join the retreat. The Bali Retreat includes workshops on blogging, growing your social presence, marketing, branding and much more. All of the lessons are relevant if you want to start a blog, want to refresh your existing blog and take it to the next level or if you plan to start a business.

The majority of the curriculum is relevant if you are planning to start your own business as we cover branding, marketing, why a blog is important for a business, building your email list and other topics relevant for entrepreneurs.

We have approximately 20+ hours of formal workshops. Workshops typically begin around 8am and we work though until lunch with some breaks in between.

Yes, we will send you a Blog Business Planning document to complete ahead of the retreat. The business planning document is to get you thinking about your business and blog before you arrive at the retreat.

The business and blogging curriculum that we have created is extensive and there is a lot to fit in in just a week! As such, our workshops are lecture style with opportunity for the group to discuss ideas and ask questions throughout.

Together with a copy of our 250+ page presentation, we will provide you with a set of 15 comprehensive eBooks which have detailed notes, tasks and actions for you to complete after the retreat.

Prior to the retreat we will send you a Blogger Business Plan Document to complete in advance.

On day 1 we will give you access to a folder of 15+ comprehensive eBooks written by Becky van Dijk and Vanessa Rivers that include detailed notes on each of the topics, resources and actions for you to complete after the retreat.

At the end of the retreat we will share a copy of the presentation used during the retreat which includes over 260 pages of information and resources.

We can provide you  with more information on the topics covered in the workshops, the eBooks and the learning you can expect on the retreat when we have a phone call to confirm your place on the retreat.

This is in order that you are insured should unforeseen circumstances prevent you from attending the trip.

One option is World Nomads. However, it is your responsibility to research travel insurance companies in your location and select an insurer that suits your needs and coverage requirements.

The chef will look to accommodate all dietary requirements for meals at the villa and meals at restaurants around Bali that we will visit typically have vegan, vegetarian options.

This is a very active retreat overall with a packed itinerary. However, the activities themselves are not strenuous and we have drivers throughout who take us between the villa, restaurants and to our activities.

Absolutely! The retreat is an opportunity to connect with a group of women from all over the world and make new and lasting friendships. The majority of our retreat guests come solo.
