The name of the resort, "Mimpi", translates from Bahasa Indonesia to the word "dream". For us it is a dream to be at Mimpi and a place to dream of a bright future. Each day passes with the calm and comfort of a light dream under the beauty of the sunshine days, natural hot spring waters, swimming pools and the spa across it's 2.5 hectares of land. The sunset restaurant serves up delicious meals, wellness cuisine, and a view to die for, looking out across the bay towards 3 mountains in Java on the horizon as the sun goes down. The rooms are all clean, comfortable, spacious and kitted with the usual amenities. A reasonably priced upgrade takes us to the Courtyard Villa with your own private garden and tub to fill with the hot spring water. For the ultimate luxury a Grand Courtyard Villa. As a valentine's retreat, there will of course be a fantastic welcome to your room! Click here to read more about Mimpi Resort. |

Touch We craft classes in support of each person learning skills for achieving desired outcomes as giver and receiver. As a couples massage is a bonding experience, so is learning to massage each other. But stretching beyond this, you will learn skills in providing relief and comfort to your partner that will see your relationship strengthen for years to come. Touch builds intimacy and is delightful when given with loving intention. Helping your partner to relieve stress can create a calm relaxed home environment, build trust and communicate in a way like no other. Not all massage needs to take place on a table with a professional therapist, learning some simple techniques will give you the opportunity to provide a range of benefits from massage to your partner at home. |

Partner Yoga Practicing Yoga as partners supports you learning how and where to touch your partner for adjusting their asana. How much pressure is ‘just right’? “Where is the sacrum?” We will address your questions and support you developing confidence in your hands on sharing. Here are 5 key benefits of partner Yoga:

Dance We’ll weave into the fabric of our retreat Free Form dance, partner dance, dancing in the water, dancing at the table, and Ellen’s practice of Vibrance. Vibrance combines sound, song, mantra and dance. Simple to learn, infectious, and even addictive say devoted Vibrance dancers. This aspect is not specifically for couples, but for everyone to let loose and shake it all off on the dance floor. We've long known that dance is one of the best ways to start your day, whether it's slow and gentle movement meditation to fast and wild, legato to staccato, and all in between. The goal is to leave you fully energized, full of vibrance, and ready for anything. |

Aquatic Bodywork In the weightlessness of the water, learn to twist, turn, float and give neck and shoulder massage to your partner. As both learn to let go into the support of the water, fluidity and flow release the creativity of the giver. Aquatic Bodywork is a massage in warm water that combines gentle graceful movements, stretching, acupressure, mobilization of the joints in connection with breathing, conducted both on the surface and underwater. To many, the experience is deeply relaxing and insightful. Michael’s mastery of Aquatic Bodywork and experience as a teacher will support us in developing our skills in this art form. |
