Reviews
"A Magical Adventure in the Vortex of Mama Bali" Oksana, Leseya and Michael became my family and tribe for 18 days. The accommodation at Adiwana resort was absolutely stunning. A magnificent room in the heart of the Jungle with easy accessibility to explore Ubud's dynamic streets. I was able to customise my retreat by doing daily yoga sessions, ecstatic dance, drumming, acupuncture, massage, steam, natural perfume making, exploring the culinary accept of Indonesian food and many more healing modalities, which was organised by Oksana and Leseya. Michael taught me how to ride a motor bike which was exhilarating.
The amazing food that I ate was fundamental to my healing. Bali is lush with some of the best Vegan restaurants in the world ! For me the absolute highlight was getting to know Oksana, Leseya and Michael. They are the most caring, intuitive, conscious, funny, fun, knowledgable trio. The bond that I developed with them has sealed in a life-long friendship bond. I am eternally grateful for all their time ,effort and absolute precision care about every detail. I cannot recommend Arts of life retreat enough !! Please treat yourself to an immersion of this magical retreat. It was truly life changing for me.

"A wonderful week"
A magical week experiencing Ubud from an insider's perspective, the week was well thought out and I enjoyed not having to think or plan my stay but still had flexibility and freedom. Oksana was an amazingly generous, kind, reliable, thoughtful and personable host, who goes above and beyond. Incredible food, accommodation, weather, yoga and new friends, can't recommend it highly enough! - Thanks

"A blessing for a solo trip and beyond"
I did this yoga retreat as part of a 3 week solo trip. It was one of my favorite parts! I'd even venture to say this was one of my favorite vacations ever! I felt like I made a family in Michael, Oksana, and the other guests. They were so full of warmth and love. Michael was an amazing guide and friend, doing everything he could to make my stay as happy as possible. The itinerary was amazing, everyday enjoyable with the right mix of yoga spread throughout. And I could feel the positive effects of this experience even after I left. This experience really lifted my spirits.

"A life-changing retreat not to be missed!"
I found myself unexpectedly at a loose end in Bali and Oksana was kind enough to let me join halfway through one of her amazing retreats at just a day's notice! From the moment I arrived I felt welcomed and relaxed instantly in Oksana's presence. She has such a uniquely beautiful energy and so much wisdom to share! I can't quite believe how much I learned in just a short few days. Honestly I know nothing I write will do justice to what a life-changing experience this has been. I've come away feeling relaxed, rejuvenated and with a wealth of ideas to implement into my busy life back in London.
