About this trip

Ground and center your soul while learning and exploring Bali's culture, scenery, and spirituality..  Come spend 8 days in Bali at an all-inclusive, luxury retreat center!   Explore this lush tropical island, in a safe, fun atmosphere. 


Your retreat takes place in a breathtaking Balinese retreat center located in Ubud.  The Ark Bali is surrounded by amazing rice fields and lush jungle scenery, yet still within easy access to the cultural center of Bali, the city of Ubud . Yoga, meditation, friendly faces and authentic loving guidance will greet you daily as you expand your whole-self: heart, spirit, and physical body.  Nourish yourself with fresh, locally prepared meals a day (adaptable for a variety of appetites, allergies/restrictions), gentle all-levels yoga, and insight into your whole self. 


We will spend five days exploring culture, creativity, and connection to self, through yoga, movement, sound healing, waterfalls, and temples, and two days in self-care with massages, facials, saunas, and whatever fills your cup. 


This retreat is geared for people who like to explore the world around them, and immerse themselves in new experiences.  If you like climbing waterfalls, differing perspectives of the world , and searching your soul, this is a bucketlist style opportunity.  


See the itinerary below for additional details about your adventure.

Traveling to Bali for the yoga retreat with Patti was an amazing experience. The trip included daily yoga and many other planned, enriching activities. There wasn’t a single outing/event/class that I didn’t end up loving. The trip gave me a chance to explore Bali and its culture while also reconnecting with myself. And, I made some great new friends along the way. Do it! Take the plunge and go on this retreat!

This was an epic trip for me! Bali was magical all by itself and being there with Patti doing yoga was the icing on the top. Patti did a fantastic job preparing the group ahead of time with flight options, packing suggestions and also provided great resources for items that we have needed to purchase. Once I arrived, Patti was in communication making sure I had connected with my driver and got to my hotel safely as I arrived a few days before retreat. She arranged her driver to pick me up on day of retreat to take me to the retreat center. FireFly Retreat center was simply gorgeous. Well appointed, clean and bright. The bed was super comfortable. Staff and owner were amazing- the food was unbelievably good and staff made sure we were got anything we needed in a very timely manner. The retreat itself was a wonderful mix of yoga, meditation, breathwork, spiritual excursions as well as free time to explore the beauty of Bali or simply to sit and immerse yourself in those energies. I can't recommend it enough and will definitely be going on another trip with Patti and back to Bali!

I had the most amazing first trip to Costa Rica! The process to book and schedule everything was perfect Patti was amazing with assisting me every step of the way with the travel and clearly explained what to expect! Once I arrived everything was exceptional from where we stayed the food the people I met along the way! WOW! Super amazing trip and can’t wait to go back!

I did not attend this event due to the corona virus as I am health compromised. Many things unfolded due to the virus including many actions taken since the trip to prevent travel to Bali. I believe Patty should refund money to those of us that were unable to attend due to these very unusual circumstances. The Ark should be willing to refund money and Patti should refund any money she was not charged.

This trip was life changing for me. Patti made set up, payment and arrangements very easy. She was available for questions and provided all valuable information up front. She made sure I had my hand held when needed or gave me freedom to explore. She did a great job of having plenty activities for all to enjoy. She has a firm knowledge of the area and culture in Bali. It was truly an amazing trip. I will gladly send others her way. I hope to join again in the future!
