TRUE ESSENCE YOGA RETREAT BALI
WITH LYNDAL POPE & MARK PHEELY
12 PEOPLE | 10 DAYS | 2 TEACHERS
ONE TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCE
SEPTEMBER 2020
This is no ordinary retreat and is strictly limited to 12 people.
This is a deep and intimately held immersion into the essence of your true self.
You will be invited to dissolve all preconceived ideas of who you think you are,
to understand the nature of mind, to let go of attachment, aversion and stories,
and come to realise your true luminous nature.
This modern approach to conscious living uses six foundational pillars:
Self Enquiry
Meditation & Contemplation
Sacred Silence
Ritual
Nature
Yoga Asana (physical postures)
These teachings and insights have the potential to release you
from human suffering.
They have the potential to guide you to see how everything is connected, to end feelings
of isolation and separation and release you from mindless living. Ultimately they allow a
clear vision for you to access your innate wisdom and live your true purpose.
This is a modern, tailor made program. Its unique power is underpinned by the ancient
traditions of Yoga, Zen, Taoism, Buddhism and Non-Duality. It is inspired by the teachings
of Adyashanti, Eckhart Tolle, Lao Tzu, Mooji, and Sri Nisargadatta Marahaj.
This interwoven wisdom of insights invites deep and open hearted enquiry into the
question of “who are you?” It will require you to be bold, brave, vulnerable, open,
committed, curious and surrendered.
If you feel it is time to create a new way of being in this lifetime, then we invite you to
trust your intuition and contact us to make a booking or further enquiry.

OUR STORY
MARK PHEELY
What qualifies me to lead a retreat such as this? 58 years of life! A large part of my adult
life was spent in an unsatisfying corporate environment because thats what I thought I
had to do. Then yoga and spirituality found me. For the past 18 yrs I have been studying
yoga, meditation, buddhism, non duality and other great wisdom traditions. I opened and
continue to run the very successful Westside Yoga in Melbourne.
(www.westsideyoga.com.au).
I have a degree Degree in Human Movement Studies and also teach meditation.
My deep loves are Lyndal, nature, yoga, ritual, living in open hearted awareness and
delving daily into the practice of ‘who am I’?. I teach and share from open hearted
awareness, grounded in wisdom teachings and with unconditional faith in the unknown.
LYNDAL POPE
A fun loving being who’s life journey is curiosity, connection, play and realising our true
essence.
I am co owner of Westside Yoga and Mark’s right hand woman in business and life.
What lights up my spirit is witnessing the awe in everything in every moment. My deepest
connections to that which we are, our 'true essence' is through dance and movement,
ritual, nature and its plant teachers, stillness and silence.
What I am offering in this retreat is an opportunity to begin the release of the human
suffering we all may experience in life. Through the wisdom teaching that 'we are not who
we think we are' is my heartfelt offering to you.
HOW DID OUR PATHS UNITE?
Through the path of Yoga. We came together after a Yoga class led by our now business
partner and dear friend Channa Dassanayaka. That afternoon the union was decided by
something far greater than us. In fact we had to move aside for the union to take place.
Almost four years later and we bring you our very first co led retreat together in Bali.
THE LOCATION: BALI ECO STAY - A HIDDEN SECRET
We have searched for several years to find the perfect location to share this
deep immersive retreat with you… and we found it!
Our intention has always been to offer a deliciously intimate and personal experience in a
place that felt connected and held. A space with genuine respect of nature and tradition.
It needed to be spiritually aligned, connected to the local community, self sustained and
eco friendly.
We found such a place in a pristine part of Bali, deep in the mountains. This is an inspiring
place hidden away from it all with an abundant clean water supply running through the
property. The accommodation is simply beautiful - private, locally inspired and with
careful attention to detail. The menu is delicious, healthy and imaginative and
predominately from their own permaculture garden. The attention and care provided by
onsite team (led by John and his wife) is genuine and attentive.
Here there is no hustle, no bustle …. just you, nature and your practice.
Bali Eco Stay is indeed a rare find.
Here you are surrounded by abundant food forests, expansive jungle, terraced rice fields,
and two cascading waterfalls. Away from everyday distractions, back to simple yet
comfortable living.The purpose built yoga shala is open on all sides to the surrounding
forest, and the massage bale is secluded, overlooking a jungled valley for your pure
indulgence.
It's also the only place that we know of in Bali that you’re able to drink the water straight
from the tap. At the top of the property is a natural spring which flows down through
aqua gardens, further filtering the water as it feeds the rest of the property. The
waterways are so healthy that there is an abundance of freshwater fish living throughout
them, including in the channels around some of the bungalows.
We believe this is the perfect place to let go, immerse and surrender.
Don't just take our word for it - come check it out for yourself!

“Contemplation is precisely the awareness that this I is really not I
and the awakening of the unknown I,
that is beyond observation and reflection,
and is incapable of commenting upon itself”
