I appreciate that you may think that this attitude could affect the friends and family around you, but it has to be pointed out that living in truth is not only 100% better for you it is 100% better for those within your inner circle. The confidence you will exude from being free of unhealthy life patterns will boost your self esteem to new levels and people will just love to be around you. Who ever kept away from positivity? People will want to know the secret to your change and you can then go on to share and help others, so, yes there will be change and only for the good! Aziza Healing Adventures Retreats are held in non touristic areas of REAL Bali, away from crowds and commerce for an in-depth cultural and spiritual experience. Retreat facilitator, Laila Ghattas, is a Gestalt therapist, artist and Reiki practitioner. She has been practicing the healing arts since 1988 and has been offering holistic healing in Bali since 2004. The Indonesian island jewel, Bali, was selected for its stunning beauty and the powerful healing energy running through the land that resonates with the gentle Hindu people who keep ancient traditions alive. It is no coincidence that so many yoga retreats are held here, the energy is tangible and assists with the journey of self discovery. Bali also pulses with a deep Feminine power. This power invites you to grow in your capacity to flow, to be present, to feel sensually alive in nature, to be receptive to life. Supporting a feminine way of being is a central theme for Aziza retreats. Sometimes, we just need to remember what being a woman means, we need to refresh ourselves of the strength we have as a woman, we need to reconnect with ourselves, to appreciate all that we are and all that we can be, and to be able to do this in such a wonderful sanctuary is the first gift to ourselves in a long time. There are many creative activities as part of the journey of discovery which help you to identify what your soul wants you to know about your process, even a simple doodle will tell you a great deal. Self expression is to your spirit what air is to your lungs. Breathe deeply. Come remember who you are. Laila Ghattas, B.F.A.Visual Arts, B.Ed., Post Graduate Certificate in Gestalt Therapy, Expressive Arts Certificate, Reiki 1st & 2nd degree, is the founder of Aziza Healing Adventures and leader of the retreats and workshops. Laila is completely committed to helping individuals raise their level of consciousness through creativity, in beautiful sacred places.
