RISE RETREAT
Reconnect. Restore. Rise.
Ubud Bali | 17 - 23 April 2027 with Kellie
Are you ready for an unforgettable experience?
Are you constantly caring for everyone else?
RISE is an invitation to step away from the noise of everyday life. A space to reconnect with yourself, restore your energy and renew your sense of purpose.
Created for all those seeking clarity, growth, rest and connection, this retreat offers a supportive space to slow down, breathe deeply, and return to what truly matters.
Designed with practices for nourishing self care for all and Professional Development Workshops for Massage and Manual Practitioners, you will experience a balance of personal growth, meaningful experiences and connection.
Over seven nourishing days in beautiful Ubud Bali, we will gather to move, learn, reflect, rest, laugh, and rise together.
This is not about becoming someone new.
It is about reconnecting with the version of yourself that may have been forgotten beneath the responsibility and constant giving to others.
Let me take care of you – no planning, no cooking, no cleaning, no organising. Have everything done for you.
So you can finally turn inward and be present with yourself.

The Heart Behind RISE
After witnessing the profound connections and transformation that unfolded during our previous retreat, RISE was created as a continuation of that journey.
