Bali Dump + Life Update

To start…I went on a water fasting journey for 2 weeks followed by 2 days in darkness (me in a pitch black room). I found a well-established healing center specialized in fasting to help me with some physical issues I was having. Long story short, I saw A TON of parasites leaving my body during my colonic sessions (sorry for the TMI). I originally planned on fasting for 5 days to give my brain & body a reset, but after the 3rd day I felt so good, energized, not hungry, and determined to get the foreign creatures out of me that I decided to extend my stay and do my refeeding in their darkness retreat (which I didn’t know was a thing until I got there).

I’m aware that this must sound bizarre, extreme and potentially dangerous, but I promise it was safe, professional, and exactly what my brain and body needed. My relationship with food & my body has also never felt better. I think of this like taking your car into the shop, that’s all I did but for my body.

I spent my days making friends with fellow people healing from various conditions, reading, getting massages, swimming in the river, thinking and writing.

I am now back in Ubud for one more week enjoying reintroducing food and rebuilding my gut and will be heading back to Sydney to go back to Swami’s because my visa is about to expire.

I love Swami’s, didn’t have a better plan and wanted to be put back to work. I don’t like having nothing to do.

Oh also, had a cavity filled (which was actually a wonderful experience) and dyed my hair lighter.

That’s my honest & raw life update! Love and miss you all so much 💗

A fun escape to the Blue Mountains 🏔️

I leave Swami’s Yoga Retreat to fly to Bali in one day! I’ve loved the people and environment here and will miss it dearly. That said, I do feel ready and excited for my next adventure 😃

So far so good ☀️ I love the people and environment — tons of movement and play time.

There’s tennis courts and a volleyball court that I’ve yet to partake in but will soon. Plus all of the amenities like the gym, pool and steam room are available to use anytime you’re not working 😃

Some of the volunteers also offer classes, so I’ve taken a dance class, yogalates (yoga/pilates), and tonight there is a guided meditation! So nice.

💗

Last day! It’s been raining non-stop over the past couple days so we went out to see the water with the girls 🌊

I’m sad to be leaving, but I also think 3 1/2 weeks was a perfect amount of time. So much love for this family and excited for my next location!

💗

This was a dream come true ✨ Anything that happens after this is just a bonus.

Walk in the rainforest 🌳 Discovered “Padamelons” which are essentially a mix between a rat and a kangaroo 🦘X 🐀 — so strange

I love this place! The parents built this home from scratch and are simultaneously doing rainforest rehab around the 50 acre property.

The mom is a clinical psychologist, so we get to have plenty of fun + deep convos about life, and the dad worked in business consulting but is now a stay at home dad who does a ton of work around the property.

They also have 4 cottages on the property that they rent out to other people and are currently building a tiny home. I love the life they’ve built for themselves.

The girls (aged 1 and 3) are just adorable! And the parents are very present and active so my work doesn’t involve childcare.

The work I have done has included mowing the lawn, raking the soil to flatten it out, picking out rocks from the soil to plant grass, pulling a ton of weeds, and general cleaning + helping around the house.

4 hours of work 5 days a week for free food and accommodation is 🙂🙂🙂. Such an affordable and fun way to travel!

I’m currently house/dog sitting because the family is out of town, so I get to take my days off and play house and read my books.

💓
