Spiritual Itinerary
The most frequent request I hear is for recommendations for spiritual experiences in Bali. My first month-long visit to the island was for this purpose in 2013. At the time, I was on a three-month sabbatical from Microsoft and my husband and I were "taking a break" from our marriage to "figure things out". I had just come from Australia, where I got to see my favorite band perform two nights at the Sydney Opera House.
Initially I planned to stay 5 nights in Ubud and then go to Seminyak for a week-long surf & yoga retreat with two extra days to relax afterwards, but I loved Bali so much that I was sitting on the beach in Sanur just after sunrise as my flight to Thailand took off without me. The way I felt on this island was different than anywhere I had been and I said to myself, I need to live here someday.
Each of the the next two years, I returned again for a month; In 2015 I was with my new partner and we were there to find a home for ourselves and in which we could host amazing people coming to Bali for their own transformational experience. Through a series of miraculous synchronicities, we found that place and hosted over 50 incredible guests during our 6 month stay in 2016. That was the start of Zelement Club and we have since hosted experiences in winter and summer destinations across Asia, North America and Europe.
Here I share with you a selection of the inspiring people and places that have made Bali feel like home or have been a part of my own spiritual growth.
