Surrender to Heart Retreat...

“All my life I’ve been wondering about the meaning of the world and what I am here to do.

Life has thrust me into many challenging situations.

I’ve learnt and I’ve grown. But still I wonder.

Where is the pool of inner peace that the mystics talk about?

Why can’t I be in it more often?

The world around me seems full of contradictions.

I am pulled in all directions and it’s so easy for me to get ‘caught up’

in life’s experiences and forget who I am.

Who am I?

Why am I?”

You are not alone. The world is full of contradictions and it’s a challenge to hold to the truth of Self in the middle of a busy life. That’s why we need a spiritual practice to keep us connected and remembering who we are, even when the worldly events of our lives seem so very important.

Having a spiritual path is not about taking you out of the world. It’s about giving you a practice that helps you remember Peace while you’re living in it. You don’t have to give up anything of the world to find it. You only have to remember what is real.

Here at Pondok Pisang you can take a deep breath, lean back and trust the process. 
If you’ve wondered how to create inner balance and calm without taking a year off…
Time to reconnect to your heartfelt needs and find your soul purpose in a way that’s authentically you.. At your own pace, in your time…
Without stress, anxiety and the busyness of the world
Then you have arrived at the exact right place!
Surrender to Heart Retreat is a safe space for you to reconnect to what’s important.

Your true nature and authentic SELF.
This 6 night, 7 day Retreat is unlike others. Here you not only press pause on your demanding
life, you actually create an impactful break that seeds sustainable change

Here you’ll remember your natural gifts and talents. You’ll be guided to integrate your experiences as well as new insights into your daily life through our powerfully healing transformational processes that bring together the best of ancient and modern healing practices.
Together we create an environment that feels like a nurturing HOME. You receive full support from our first conversation, the moment you decide to work with us over the retreat experience, through our transformational process to the place where you are ready to meet the next exciting episode of your life with love, ease and joy.

On this retreat we will use the practice of Wu Tao to help us anchor in and embody our True Self. It’s the most enjoyable and beautiful way to have deep spiritual transformation that lasts. Why? Because we embody who we really are. We are not just thinking or talking or meditating on it. We embody Self and this makes it much easier to remember truth when we re-enter the world.
Everyday there will be opportunities for you to delve into and explore the pyschic patterns that are keeping you from accessing your pool of inner peace. We will develop our ‘spiritual muscles’. The ones of release, deep surrender and remembering the truth of who we are through joyful dance, powerful meditations and inner reflection work.

I’ve been doing this work for nearly 2 decades and I know the power of Wu Tao. I had no idea that Wu Tao would be so transformational when I first brought it into being. But it is. And it works. Your enlightenment is only a dance away. It’s beckoning! Will you join me in coming home to Self

A. Your investment to attend the complete retreat is $2600 twin share or $3300 for a private space. This includes everything except your airfares and travel insurance.

A.The retreat is held in a beautiful nature inspired beachside retreat in  Candisasa East Bali. The retreat is a 2 hour drive from the airport.

Absolutely yes. I will personally guide you through a Wu Tao dance session every day. You’ll have time to learn and experience the deep inner balance and healing that comes from a daily practice.

A. The purpose of this retreat is to help you remember the pool of deep peace within you and hold that remembrance in your daily life. The personal spiritual practice you develop on this retreat will help you live from a place of equanimity, joy and balance when you head back home.

A. This retreat will bring you many opportunities for self reflection. We encourage you to gently and lovingly explore your inner world and shed some of the old patterns that no longer serve you. You will be lovingly supported by Michelle, and nourished by the beautiful natural surroundings and the team at Pondok Pisang

A. You will need to bring sunscreen, hat, large journal, coloured pens/pencils, swimmers, snorkel (optional), sarong (for temple visits) and clothes to dance in.

A. I will help you manage your health issues on the retreat. Contact me to discuss any health issues you are concerned about prior to registering, and we can discuss your needs.

A. Life can be tough and I know you face many stresses. It might seem hard for you to take this trip, but believe me, you won’t regret it.

Self care is essential and if you’re looking for a safe space to reduce your stress, you’ll find it at this retreat. You will also gain many skills and deep wisdom that will inform you for the rest of your life.

I attended the surrender to heart retreat in Bali. I’d never done Wu Tao before but decided to go and try something new as I’d been feeling stuck in my life. The place was amazingly beautiful and the dance was so healing. It’s based on Chinese meridians and has music that matches each element. Alongside the dance came meditation and hypnotherapy. Michelle who invented Wu Tao held the space gently and helped me shift some difficult stuff that had been holding me back. After years of anxiety I felt anxiety free and will continue the dance back in Australia. The venue is stunning and the balinese people so beautiful. Thank you Michelle for such a memorable and life changing experience. I hope to go back next year.

I decided to do the Wu Tao retreat months ago in which time my life circumstances changed dramatically, meaning I didn’t commit to go until a few days before it started. But so so glad I did! What a wonderful, inspiring, varied, relaxing and energising experience! The venue was stunning with a magnificent view over the ocean from the dance studio and the rooms. The retreat was a perfect balance of personal space with dance, meditation and social time. The veggie food is yummy! Michelle your teachings were gentle, light yet also very deep. I feel sooo much better than when I first arrived. Clear headed, healthy and relaxed in body, heart and spirit.Thank you!

I was so burnt out from working in the domestic violence sector. I was struggling mentally, physically and emotionally. Then I came across an ad for WuTao retreat. It jumped out at me I locked in my calendar and start to make plans to attend no matter what. While I was on this retreat my body was nourished with the most amazing vegetarian food and massages. My Soul was nourished with learning the dance, journaling, meditating and sharing the experience with the amazing other women, My mind was nourished with fresh new information and lots of shared laughter. If you need to reconnect with yourself and your own needs you need to lock this in now!!  I will definitely be going back. You will make true friendships on the journey and you will want to keep doing the WuTao dances. Thank god Michelle created such a healing experience.

This 7 day Wu Tao retreat in the quiet peaceful Pondok Pisang retreat centre in Candidasa was the best investment I’ve made in myself for years.
The experience was deeply satisfying and enriching under the exceptional guidance of brilliant teacher Michelle Locke. I’m planning to make it an annual event
