A Soulful Journey in a Safe and Magical Land
​

All you need to do is book your ticket and the rest is taken care of.  Your beautiful cottage that will be your home for 7 days awaits. This is a time to immerse yourself into deep rest, whilst also experiencing traditional ceremonies, massage, delicious food, healing, meditation and a few surprises in the mix. This is all beautifully synchronized into the daily practices, conscious conversations, and activations as you design and ignite your purpose-filled, unique and magical life’s blueprint!

Your Personal Invitation from Lara
​

Step into a GREAT adventure!

Time to SHINE!

Our trapped emotions, our anxieties, our unprocessed experiences are the source of everything that ails us.  When we activate what we are choosing to feel, and when we allow ourselves to sit with the emotion in our body, we are then able to release and clear the old held emotions; Neurologically, Genetically, Biologically. In doing so we then begin to create a whole new self – on purpose and by design.  Our own 'Blueprint' in action, aligned within and without to the life we desire... feeling present, connected, alive and free.

Retreaters sharing their experience 
​

Because of work I had done with Lara in the past I was pretty quick to sign up for the Bali retreat. Bali + Retreat + Lara Wilson: that sounded like something I could get into. In amongst all the fun, laughter, the camaraderie and joy of being with like minded people, there is serious work at hand.

It was challenging and a bit confronting but we all know the saying - what doesn’t challenge doesn’t change you. Subtly, quietly and joyfully there was change in all of us and it was wonderful to not only experience my own transformation but to witness it in others. I strongly believe everyone should experience a retreat like this at least once in their lives, especially those that think they don’t need to!  ​

"For so long I’ve been lost in every day routine, without investing any time into myself. With years going past, I feel like I've forgotten who I am and how to make decisions with my heart. I've reached a point now in my life where I need to let go of my identity based around bank balances, success, ego and my childhood. I signed up to Greatness Warriors retreat to reignite my heart and fully connect to my body. I came to shed my self doubt and fears, listening to my head at the sacrifice of my heart. With no idea of what I was getting myself into, I trusted Lara on this journey to provide space, guide me and facilitate what was one of the most amazing experiences through the Greatness Warriors retreat.

For the first time in so many years I felt love, from the deepest part of my heart. Over the seven days I learnt awareness, understanding and accepting everything about myself. I finally felt connected and can see the new possibilities for the next chapter of my life. I believe that Lara and the Greatness Warrior retreat will be one of the best experiences anyone could do in their life. No matter what journey you’re on, you will learn about how to connect to your authentic self and live a life with effortless action".- Justin Pattison

​"I cannot recommend highly enough Lara's Bali retreat!  I started my journey completely unknown of what lay ahead and 100% trusted Lara even though we had never met and WOW what an amazing journey it was with so many outcomes.

Lara is an amazing person with endless talents, experience and knowledge. She has a unique way of working with people which is extraordinary.  

​The Retreat program exceeded what I could ever have imagined.  From the accommodation, people, guest speakers, meals, walks, group work and surprise excursions. Everything was thought of.  I was thoroughly spoilt and learnt so much."

​- Michelle Luff

​"To anyone who has wondered if they have anything to let go of, any unresolved issues, any room for more than their current thoughts. This is a retreat for you. It’s a deep dive into what makes you tick - seeking out the baggage that no longer serves you. That was my experience anyway. It was an amazing atmosphere, very safe and nurturing, respectful and empowering.

​Lara as a facilitator is what makes this retreat and experience so amazing. Her warmth, kindness and empathy is exactly what is required for a soul searching experience like this. The minute you surrender, is when you start to benefit. I came away form this retreat, lighter, happier, full of joy and energy. I’ve let go of things I was carrying around for years. I wish I had done this in my 20’s".  -

"For so long I have put other people first and have forgotten what it’s like to fully be present, aware and connected with myself. I signed up to the Greatness Warrior Retreat not knowing exactly what I was about to encounter, but boy did it exceed my expectations!

7 days in beautiful Ubud, Bali allowed me to be present, connected and alive again. I learnt how to love myself and be comfortable in the unknown and I couldn’t have been able to do this without the guidance of one truly inspiring person, Lara Wilson.

​I encourage everyone to take part in this awe inspiring retreat, from the beautiful accommodation to the incredible food, people and conscious conversations it will truly ignite your inner light again"!

​- Sophie Rodd

"Lara is a personal trainer for your soul.  And Bali is her bootcamp. In a safe and caring environment, she will challenge you, laugh and cry with you to help you become the most amazing version of yourself.  ​

Gently, but firmly, Lara will guide you through some confronting self-development and self-awareness to release a lifetime worth of baggage without the intricate details.  By jumping right in, trusting Lara and her processes (that aren’t always predictable) you can feel more centred, balanced and free. A truly empowering experience".
