AVANI retreats
Rooted in Earth, Guided by Women’s Wisdom.
2027 retreat launching soon
Join Sandi and Ellie in beautiful Uluwatu, Bali, for a women's retreat designed to help you slow down, reconnect and come home to yourself.
Blending Sandi’s knowledge of naturopathy, Chinese medicine and women’s health with Ellie’s yoga, movement and somatic healing practices, AVANI brings together ancient wisdom and modern education.
Through nourishing food, yoga, somatic movement, women's health workshops, ceremony, rest and meaningful connection, we invite you to step away from the demands of everyday life and make space for yourself again.
