September 26-October 2, 2027

Book a Curiosity Call

Tuscany Awaits You!

Consistency is great. Those daily acts of devotion make all the difference.

BUT sometimes you need to step out of your normal life for a minute and do something that makes a bigger splash!

This isn’t a vacation. You’re not coming to Bali to relax for a week and then going home to the same patterns.

This is you coming home to yourself. To your joy. To your truth.

All you have to do is say yes

The Venue: Montemelino Estate


About the Venue

This venue was specifically designed as a retreat center, focusing on traditional therapies, spa treatments, cuisine, yoga, and meditation. The villas are a modern interpretation of the traditional Indonesian round house.

All of the villas are air-conditioned and have super cool stone bathtubs!

There is a stunning yoga space with sweeping views of the surrounding rice fields where we’ll be doing our morning movement practice and our evening meditation and Reiki sessions. The space is fully equipped with mats, bolsters, straps, blankets, and blocks, so no need to bring anything!!

Enchanted Garden resort is just a 10 minute drive away from the center of Ubud and the resort will provide a free daily shuttle to Ubud and back.

The resort has an on-site spa offering traditional massages, facials, manicures, and pedicures!

Retreat Highlights

    A 3-course dinner will be served everynight by our chef and every morning start your day off right with

  • Guided Town Tours

    We will visit the medieval Tuscan town of Cortona,

  • Pizza Cooking Class

    Rooted in Hinduism and Buddhism, mala beads are used to help you focus your mind during meditation. Mala beads traditionally have 108 beads, the numerical equivalent of "om." We will get our creative juices flowing making the necklaces and also be able to use them during subsequent meditations!

  • Mt. Gualandro Hike

    An easy hike with spectacular views of the lake, hills, and vineyards! Plus, explore a castle!

  • Sound Bath

    We'll head to the cultural center of Bali to witness the mesmerizing show of traditional and hypnotic Kecak dance and Ramayana story. After this cultural spectacle, we'll head to The Tempayan restaurant for the Royal Rijsttafel dinner experience.

  • Daily Movement Classes

    Let's give our bodies some love through movement! I will be leading movement sessions at least once per day. The nature of said movement will depend on our group and what everyone's body's need. Movements may include yoga, strength training, mobility work, stretching, and secret cardio.

  • Daily Meditation Sessions

    Let's ground into ourselves with mindfulness meditation and balance our energy with Reiki healing! I will be leading a mindfulness meditation and/or group Reiki session every evening. Again, the nature of said sessions will depend on the group.

Your Retreat Facilitator

Hi! I’m Rachel and I am SO excited for you to join me in Bali for a seriously once in a lifetime experience!

My intention as a movement coach, body educator, and energy worker is to help you come home to your body. To come home to that strength, joy, and intuition that is already yours. And what I’ve found is that even though Bali is thousands of miles away for so many of us, she feels like home. She helps us come home.

There is no one size fits all approach to any problem or struggle whether it be mental, physical, or spiritual. That’s why I practice and teach so many things! You can click here if you’re wondering about what those things might be!

But there are two things I’ve found are often missing from the popular healing practices like physical therapy, medicine, meditation, etc. 

And that is joy and community.

Everything is always so serious! And increasingly more alone.. 

But we need to play! We need to laugh! 

What better way to tell our cells that we are safe than through pleasure and happiness?

And “healing is not a solitary endeavor. It thrives within the embrace of community.” 

We need to be witnessed! We need to be together!

And what better way to feel truly seen than to experience the vulnerability of glee in community?

So let’s experience the wonders of Bali together. Let’s ground into the deeply unique yet utterly universal sensations of what is the human experience. Let’s move, play, laugh, eat, and live. Together.

As JOY BECOMES US.

Participant Experiences

  • "If I could sum up what this trip has meant, it would be incredible transformation. Having a doctorate in physical therapy, I know the body, but I'm still learning how to understand and connect with my body. Rachel helped me increase that awareness and allow myself to slow down enough to connect on a level I didn't know was possible. This retreat has brought so much beauty and such a deeper level of understanding that I didn't even know I was missing out on. And for that I am so incredibly grateful. Bali truly changed my life.

  • "I'm still in awe of the beautiful culture and community I was lucky to experience on the Joy Becomes Us retreat in Bali. I tried so many new things, had powerful conversations with incredible new friends, and felt a sense of peace I've never experienced before.

    Valerie N.

  • "A massive THANK YOU! For opening up yourself and creating such a welcoming, joyful, and healing environment for everyone. Holy cats, I am truly forever grateful for the internal healing process that has been started that I wasn't expecting, but I guess I was ready for!

    Briita N.

  • I saw Rachel's face on a flyer in my Pilates studio bathroom and I thought-you know, I would trust her, I would go across the world with her. And when we first met, it was this really cool connection. I didn't think I would find a good friend and a community with her and all the people she brought to this retreat, but I've made lifelong friends here. Everyday on this retreat has been so rejuvenating, I'm so happy, and I would do it again!
