"If you’re wondering whether to take a step of faith and do something outside your comfort zone — go for it! You can trust Samala to always keep you at the centre.

"Bali was the best thing I’ve ever done. I was worried about whether I could make it to Bali and whether everything would work out, but I decided I was going no matter what. Samala made everything easy for me and helped me break it all down. I felt so proud of myself for going. I learnt so much about awareness and living a life free of stress. The group, the connections, workshops and experiences were just amazing. I didn’t want to leave. I’m still buzzing! I’ve taken so much of Bali back home with me.."
Michelle Nawisielski

"So glad I took the leap and went on this retreat. Having everything organised for us, the day trips, beautiful people I met and especially the cultural experiences were such highlights. Being able to experience the local culture and traditions was something I’ll never forget. There were definitely moments that stretched me and gave me a different perspective, and I think that’s part of the beauty of experiencing something new.
So grateful I went and for all the memories I’m taking home with me."

"Bali was calling me. After attending three of Samala’s weekend retreats in Auckland over the past few years, I had begun to develop a deeper sense of awareness and recognise when my ego was in play. I wanted to explore beyond that and learn to be guided by my intuition. In Bali, with Samala’s teachings and support, the guidance that came to me was beyond anything I had expected. I returned home with clarity around conversations I wanted to have with my husband, and a new trust in the plans I had for my own life. Going to one of Samala’s Bali retreats will open you up and guide you to who you really are on another level. So grateful I went and for all the memories I’m taking home with me."

"Samala helped me move beyond stagnation and make clear decisions, including selling a business that had been controlling my life. She supported me the whole way. The retreat was absolutely flawless. The workshops pushed me beyond limits I never thought I would cross, always within a safe space. I came away with so many tools to move forward. The incredible activities and connection with the other women created memories I will always treasure. Samala also restored my faith in Bali—a place I never thought I would return to. I would absolutely do this again and highly recommend Heart N Soul Retreats."
Paula Collier

“I really enjoyed the Heart n Soul Retreat hosted by Samala. I think what I learnt about myself is that I am seen, I do have value, and I am worthy. From the workshops to the somatic movement, and the quiet chats by the pool with other women on their own journeys, I loved it all. I believe I have found a beautiful community of women to hold close to my heart for years to come, along with tools to help guide me to be the best Sheree I can be."

"I came to the retreat with no expectations of how things would go. From arriving in Bali, I felt supported by Samala and the whole team. We all arrived as strangers and left feeling more connected, cleansed and renewed. The wellness offerings and the space were beyond what I expected."
Danielle

"The opportunity to experience a retreat in such a beautiful environment and be immersed in the culture was amazing, all while embracing transformation. That was over and above what I thought I was able to do. Samala is a true force in supporting you to seek your truth through her facilitation of this retreat."
