Facilitated by Erin Lee, Mindfulness Coach and Author of Take A Pause.

THE WHOLEHEARTED WOMAN

The wholehearted woman isn’t defined by perfection, achievement, or constant positivity. She lives with a sense of alignment and integrity. Inwardly grounded, she allows herself to be fully human, trusts the unfolding of life, and chooses to meet each moment with presence and openness.

This retreat invites women to step out of the many roles we carry – professional, partner, mother, daughter, leader – and return to the gentle strength of the spirited woman within.

Held near the ancient temples of Angkor, we gather in a place shaped by time, resilience, and wisdom. Surrounded by stone weathered by centuries, we reflect on what within ourselves is equally strong and steady.

Over five days, we explore emotional clarity, self-compassion, and the practice of wholehearted living. This retreat is about remembering who you already are and trusting your innate capacity for healing, growth, and renewal.

WHO IS THIS RETREAT FOR?

Whether you are a new to mindfulness or a seasoned practitioner, you will find this five-day retreat supportive if:

You are emerging from a period of transition and wish to step into the next season of your life with renewed clarity and strength.
You long to reconnect with your sense of purpose and joy, and to cultivate a grounded confidence for the path ahead.
You are ready to deepen your mindfulness practice, balancing rest with mindful effort and wholehearted presence.
You cherish the idea of pausing amid the natural beauty of Angkor Wat, supported by a like-minded community of practitioners.

THE JOURNEY

DAY 1: Softening into Mindful Presence
We begin the retreat by slowing down enough to truly arrive, easing out of performance mode and into embodied presence.

DAY 2: Listening to the Voice of Wisdom
When outer noise softens, the inner landscape follows, allowing something subtler within to be felt and heard.

DAY 3: Making Space for Clarity
Clarity rarely comes from pressure or force – it emerges when space is created and patience is practiced.

DAY 4: Reclaiming our Strength
With clarity comes a grounded strength that arises from alignment rather than over-striving.

DAY 5: Carrying the Light Home
The final day turns toward integration, as we reflect on what has shifted, what feels clearer, and what needs protection as we return to daily life.

]]><![CDATA[Snapshots: Spring Sensations Retreat in Ubud Bali, April 2026]]>Tue, 07 Apr 2026 04:10:49 GMThttps://www.mindfulmoments.sg/retreat-blog/snapshots-spring-sensations-retreat-in-ubud-bali-april-2026Erin created a space that let me slow down and reconnect with what matters. Her approach is practical and structured — I left with clear tools I use daily and a personal anchor word I carry forward.

As someone who travels extensively in a demanding role, this retreat gave me the stillness and clarity I needed.

--- Eudo

Erin cultivates a safe and inclusive space for all participants, meeting each person with compassion regardless of their background or state of mind.

Her facilitation style is gentle yet intentional, marked by flexibility and deep patience, allowing individuals to move at a pace that feels right for them.

Participating in her retreat has been a deeply enriching and memorable experience.

--- Susan

I had the privilege of being guided by Erin during my first-ever retreat, and what stood out most was her voice - its warm timbre, clarity, and precise articulation created a calm trustworthy space.

Every word she chose felt intentional and spot on, making mindfulness concepts easy to grasp. Phrases such as “non-striving” were clearly explained and set the tone for the retreat.

Her down-to-earth facilitation and relatable examples, many drawn from her own experiences, put me at ease as a newcomer.

Despite being new to meditation and mindfulness practices, I felt supported, included and inspired throughout. It was an illuminating experience indeed!

--- Janiz

Erin's gentle disposition has allowed me to feel safe and be able to open up quickly during the retreat. The program is well thought through and flexibility was exercised when needed to.

Her facilitation of mindfulness practices and sharing on mindfulness attitudes/concepts are easy to follow and understand, this allows anyone who is new to mindfulness to easily grasp it and experience the benefits of being mindful.

For someone who has prior experience with mindfulness, she has also brought new insights and wisdom. As a whole, a very nourishing experience for the mind, body and soul joining this retreat.

WHO IS THIS RETREAT FOR?

Light On Life: Spring Sensations Retreat is designed for anyone wishing to reconnect with their inner aliveness and awaken to the potential of life's new beginnings.

Whether you are a new to mindfulness or a seasoned practitioner, you will find this five-day retreat supportive if:

You are emerging from a period of transition and wish to step into the next season of your life with renewed clarity and strength.
You long to reconnect with your sense of purpose and joy, and to cultivate a grounded confidence for the path ahead.

WHY SPRING?

Spring is a season of awakening -- a return to life, energy, and colour. At Light On Life: Spring Sensations, we contemplate and practice the following themes:

1. Renewal and Rebirth
As nature awakens, we are reminded of our own capacity to begin anew, to meet each day with freshness, curiosity, and hope.

2. Growth and Intention
Spring invites us to plant the seeds of possibility, to nurture what matters most, and to set clear intentions for the months ahead.

3. Nurturing and Care
Like tender shoots reaching for light, our growth requires attentiveness and gentleness. Spring invites us to nurture ourselves with patience, compassion, and steady care.

4. Joy and Wonder
Amidst blooming life, spring encourages us to rediscover our innate joyfulness, to open our senses, and to delight in the simplicity of being.

5. Energy and Presence
As life stirs around us, we are reminded of the dynamic balance between rest and movement. Spring calls us to reawaken our vitality while staying grounded in presence.

A full day usually includes guided mindfulness practices in stillness and movement, personal reflection time, mindful meals, teacher conversations, and group sharing. There is a balance of structure and spaciousness so you can settle into your own rhythm.

Is the retreat silent?
To support deeper awareness and clarity, the retreat includes a Day of Silence, which starts from Day 2 after dinner and ends at Day 4 before breakfast.

What should I pack?
Comfortable clothing suitable for a tropical climate, light layers, water bottle, swimwear (if you'd like to swim at the pool), insect repellent, sunscreen, and any other personal items you may need. Cushions, mats, and chairs are available at the centre.

Mindfulness practice is not about forcing the body. You may sit on a chair, use cushions, lie down, or take mindful breaks. You are welcome to adjust your posture whenever needed.

Is this retreat suitable for people with stress and anxiety?
Many participants come seeking clarity and emotional balance. This retreat is meant to be supportive, but it is not a substitute for clinical or medical treatment. If you're unsure, you are welcome to check in with the retreat teacher beforehand.
