In this foundational Vibrance Training and retreat, to the world’s drum beats, we’ll connect our tap root to the center of mother Earth, spiral the earth’s energy upward through all chakras, energize all meridians, until we lift ourselves upward connecting to the Creative Force of the Universe. As we open our portals to dance through doors of dizziness, nausea, fear of falling, we spin like tops, melt into the grass, spin again, becoming & embodying the connection between Earth and Heaven. Opening our hearts, lifting our spirits, we will sing and dance, play and pray all the day and into the night, celebrating Nature’s Rhythms, the dark and new moon.

About this Program

VIBRANCE is a collective of dedicated artists, leaders, and embodiment teachers whose mission is to inspire you to find joy, self-expression and radiant health through integrative sonic and somatic practices. We believe that through movement, music, breath, sound, song and visualization, we can transform ourselves, our relationships, our communities and our planet. Together, we are the bridge between devotional awareness and effective ecological stewardship.

Prepare to be immersed in the Elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether, as we align our true natures with Earth’s elements. And, to open, empty and fill all your chakras. It is one thing to mentally understand the concepts of ‘connection, “interconnectedness”, and “resonance”. It is quite a different thing to have a deeply embodied experience of these important stepping stones to healing and well-being. We will literally be planting ourselves in the earth, while dancing with the trees, the wind, the sun, moon and the stars as our dance partners. Ceremonial and internal fires become our allies as we burn through layers of disconnection and turn ourselves into the song that sings the world back into strength.

Venue & Accommodation

Mimpi Resort, Menjangan, Bali
On the North-West coast of Bali in the village of Banyuwedang, Mimpi looks out towards the Menjangan Island. The area is notorious as a hot-spot for diving and snorkelling and just a little further down the coast a regular dolphin hangout.

Mimpi's most special feature is its waters, as the resort is built across land with several natural hot springs. The careful architecture and landscaping makes for several shared natural hot spring pools across the 3 hectares of land. Inevitably the water and it's high mineral content is totally refreshing, rejuvenating and holds it's own healing qualities. For us the pools are perfect for aquatic bodywork, where we dance in the water to feel true fluidity.

Classes take place in the Wantilan. A large space with wooden floors, the sounds of birds and some gentle breezes. We decorate the wantilan with beautiful silk hangings and bring a range of equipment from musical instruments, to dancing scarves, yoga mats, yoga balls and of course an excellent sound system!

Patio Room

Mimpi's standard room is the patio. Stylishly finished and available with twin or double beds these rooms are home for most of our students through programs and regularly receive excellent feedback.

The rooms are spacious and very comfortable, making them easy to share with another guest whilst maintaing plenty of personal space.

Courtyard Villa

The Courtyard Villa is a pleasant and affordable upgrade to the patio room. With it's own garden and it's own private hot spring tub, the CY Villa is a taste of luxury.

The CYV also has an additional mezzanine that is perfect for families with children or private space for meditation.

A further addition is the private garden terrace and outdoor seating area making this ideal for sitting in the open air sunshine whilst keeping some peaceful solitude, alone or with your partner. If booking a shared space in this room category, you must book with a partner.
