Retreat love

​​“It’s been the most phenomenal experience. I feel like I’ve shed a couple of skins, my smiles got wider, my hearts got bigger... I would absolutely recommend you do this”.  ​

​

A truly empowering experience...​

​Lara is a personal trainer for your soul.  And Bali is her bootcamp. In a safe and caring environment, she will challenge you, laugh and cry with you to help you become the most amazing version of yourself.

​Gently, but firmly, Lara will guide you through some confronting self-development and self-awareness to release a lifetime worth of baggage without the intricate details.
​
By jumping right in, trusting Lara and her processes (that aren’t always predictable) you can feel more centred, balanced and free. A truly empowering experience". 
- Sarah Goodhart

​There was life before retreat,
​ and life after retreat...

​The latter is infinitely richer. It is as simple… and profound, as that.

I have read about entering another dimension which I could kind of understand intellectually… Retreat opens the door to another dimension where the cold mental and intellectual world, even though has its place in our daily life, is transcended…. into a world rich in feeling… but waaaay beyond mere emotion.
​
Retreat opened a door, that, provided I live and work the principles and ‘knowledge’, leads to place of soul enrichment that ever evolves”.  
- Isaac Xavier

I cannot recommend highly
​ enough Lara's retreat...

​I started my journey completely unknown of what lay ahead and 100% trusted Lara even though we had never met and WOW what an amazing journey it was with so many outcomes.

Lara is an amazing person with endless talents, experience and knowledge. She has a unique way of working with people which is extraordinary.

The Retreat program exceeded what I could ever have imagined.  From the accommodation, people, guest speakers, meals, walks, group work and surprise excursions. Everything was thought of.  I was thoroughly spoilt and learnt so much".

I’ve let go of things I was
carrying around for years...

​To anyone who has wondered if they have anything to let go of, any unresolved issues, any room for more than their current thoughts. This is a retreat for you. It’s a deep dive into what makes you tick - seeking out the baggage that no longer serves you. That was my experience anyway. It was an amazing atmosphere, very safe and nurturing, respectful and empowering. 

Lara as a facilitator is what makes this retreat and experience so amazing. Her warmth, kindness and empathy is exactly what is required for a soul searching experience like this. The minute you surrender, is when you start to benefit. I came away form this retreat, lighter, happier, full of joy and energy. I’ve let go of things I was carrying around for years. I wish I had done this in my 20’s".

One of the best experiences
anyone could do in their life

For so long I’ve been lost in every day routine, without investing any time into myself. With years going past, I feel like I've forgotten who I am and how to make decisions with my heart. I've reached a point now in my life where I need to let go of my identity based around bank balances, success, ego and my childhood. I signed up to Greatness Warriors retreat to re-ignite my heart and fully connect to my body. 

Over the seven days I learnt awareness, understanding and accepting everything about myself. I finally felt connected and can see the new possibilities for the next chapter of my life. I believe that Lara and her work will be one of the best experiences anyone could do in their life. No matter what journey you’re on, you will learn about how to connect to your authentic self and live a life with effortless action." 
​- Justin Pattison

I cannot recommend
this work enough....

​With the retreat now complete, today we leave Bali, our lives changed permanently and forever. If you are looking to make a change within yourself and ultimately a change within humanity, this is the single most powerful work I have ever experienced, and I for one, will be here next year for Part 2. If you want your eyes opened to how we see the world, how it affects us and what we CHOOSE to react to & feel, then I cannot recommend this work enough.

​Thank you Lara for being the change we need to see in humanity to wake up, and for changing people's lives forever. I thought I was consciously awake before - how wrong I was. I now stand much stronger, ready to face the world with new eyes. No doubt it will be challenging and I'll fall down, but I have the tools now to pick me up and keep going. If you are interested in making powerful changes within yourself and this Earth, do this.."

I strongly believe everyone
should experience a retreat...

​Because of work I had done with Lara in the past I was pretty quick to sign up for the Bali retreat. Bali + Retreat + Lara Wilson: that sounded like something I could get into. In amongst all the fun, laughter, the camaraderie and joy of being with like minded people, there is serious work at hand. It was challenging and a bit confronting but we all know the saying - what doesn’t challenge doesn’t change you.

Subtly, quietly and joyfully there was change in all of us and it was wonderful to not only experience my own transformation but to witness it in others. I strongly believe everyone should experience a retreat like this at least once in their lives, especially those that think they don’t need to!'

Boy did it exceed my expectations...

For so long I have put other people first and have forgotten what it’s like to fully be present, aware and connected with myself. I signed up to the Greatness Warrior Retreat not knowing exactly what I was about to encounter, but boy did it exceed my expectations!

7 days in beautiful Ubud, Bali allowed me to be present, connected and alive again. I learnt how to love myself and be comfortable in the unknown and I couldn’t have been able to do this without the guidance of one truly inspiring person, Lara Wilson.

​I encourage everyone to take part in this awe inspiring retreat, from the beautiful accommodation to the incredible food, people and conscious conversations it will truly ignite your inner light again!"

Bali Retreat appreciation

“Wow, this has been a truly profound week for me. I came to connect with more of who I am; right now I feel I connected with that and some more. … This is something that really needs to be shared, so if you can make your way to this, please do”.  
​​- Timothy Slater

I learnt to be present,
connected alive and free...

​
​Where do I begin?  Retreat!  What an amazing experience.  First of all I doubted that this would be for me.  I mean 7 days just to focus on me?  Won't I get bored?  Distracted?  Feel like I'm spending too much time on this?  I mean I was looking forward to a holiday by the pool with cocktails and bin tang!  Who wouldn't in Bali?  But what I experienced was by far much greater than this. 
 
I learnt to be present, connected alive and free.  Something I thought I had achieved already but I was far from that.  I love to achieve and help others but what was I achieving?  Money?  Stability?  Security?  Maybe in my head but really I was unconsciously searching for something non-existent when it was standing right in front of me.  I just allowed myself to open up and bring in all the energy. 
 
The energy that Lara brings is incredible.  She shows up and the work she puts in is phenomenal.  Her vibe and her aura bring up invariable differences in others and it's so heartfelt to watch and observe.  Showing up, asking permission to others to allow them to be in there vulnerability and take ownership back.  So many of us including me have given ourselves away.   In feelings, in being and most of all in love or what we think is love.  There is so much more and the journey has just begun. 
 
I came to retreat with little expectation that it would help me at work to lead better and to help me build my career.  What I found is that not only did I experience a shift in my mindset but a check on my overall health and wellbeing far greater than my career path. 
 
I highly recommend this retreat and I endeavour to do this again.  The fact is, I now do this work everyday and I am so much happier for it.  If you think retreat is not for me, you are exactly in the right place and would very much benefit from this memorable experience.  Just do it."

Try it. You wont be sorry...

Lara Wilson came into my life at a time when I didn't think any more crap could happen to one person.  I'd lost love, money, family, my house, my self esteem and my thirst for life.  I was lonely, depressed, grumpy and broke.  You too?  You are not alone.  There's lots of us out there.  But there is an answer.  There is a different way.
 
After one phone call to Lara I could see a shining light.  After one conversation with her I had the confidence to deal with my mess with my head held high.  After one meeting I was ready to shed the negativity and learn how to refocus, to think a different way. I was so used to giving (in and) to others that I gave nothing to or for myself. 
 
I went to Bali Retreat and learnt how to LIVE. What an AMAZING FANTASTIC journey that is.  When we have a toothache, we go to the Dentist. When our back is sore we go to a Physio or Chiro or Myotherapist.  We go to the hairdressers for a makeover to reward our self and feel good for a week or two.  But when our heart is aching and our soul is breaking, who do we seek help from?  We pour our heart out to friends and loved one's but it doesn't fix the problem. We need to work out what we REALLY need; learn how to love and respect our self; learn how to rethink; how to refocus; how to sit in our shit and sort out the crap and come out the other side feeling great about our self. 
 
I am living the circus of life and I am juggling the balls; walking the tight rope; dancing with the bears; riding high with the amazing elephants; and orchestrating the whole shebang as the CEO of my own life. All because of the amazing guidance and direction of Lara Wilson.  Try it.  You wont be sorry. Others will notice your investment and reward you for the change in YOU."  ​

How absolutely magical
this experience was...

I did this retreat with my sister; admittedly it took some convincing. l now look at the photos capturing this time and feel goose bumps and so absolutely blessed to have done this and also have shared this with such amazing warriors. How absolutely magical this experience was!
 
You are an amazing beautiful being Lara. Thank you for changing my world. Some days as a mum of four it’s tough and I get annoyed and shout. Then I take a big breath and this inner voice says to me 'now there was no gentle loving kindness in any of that’.  I notice if I am using the work and I immediately recognise when I’m not. It's so good how it's a constant reminder just there for me straight away.  My eyes are wide open. I can now dissect and realise the BS at play using Lara's work and become more attuned to my true nature.
 
I think about how I was before Lara and Bali and I have a chuckle of all the shitty stories I had rehearsed over and over in my life!! The chuckle turns into a one of my big belly laughs.  Your work, kindness & love has been so life changing. Life is so good and nice to be feeling control, happiness and moving forward everyday.  I love your work Lara.  I think I’ll do Retreat every year". – Kaylene, Queensland, Australia

3-day Retreat Appreciation

​
​'I came along to the retreat having never worked with Lara, but after a conversation with her I knew I had to be a part of it. I arrived feeling lost, about to start a new job, having had months of uncertainty.  During the 3 day retreat I was able to get in-touch with my true self and discover my own source of divine energy. I'm recharged, refocused and feel so ground for the future.  I cannot express how grateful I am to Lara and everyone in the retreat for their parts in my journey.  I will be back for sure!' - Karen, Solid and True.

'I had been working with Lara for 2 months when she invited me to join in the Embodying Greatness Retreat.  Not really knowing what to expect but trusted as felt it was something I needed to follow through and do.  The retreat allowed me to connect with 13 others over the 3 days.  To connect as human beings being human, messy, suffering, growing, evolving, cracking open, understanding, accepting and taking responsibility.  It is no longer ugly to cry, to hide your imperfections; we are perfect just by being - perfectly imperfect'. Embracing a new way of life, f#@* yeah! - T.M. Feminine Warrior in the making :-)

"The retreat created a surrounding of tranquility, safely and nourishment.  An experience that cannot be expressed in words but only lived.  The experience has given me a chance to be reborn.  It has awakened a very powerful call to action to nourish myself, be even more gentle and embrace the truth and stay connected …present and alive.  No amount of words can express the love and gratitude I have for you and you are an incredibly special lady and so fortunate to have had the opportunity to experience this with you.' - Anil Mirchandani

The 3-day retreat was an amazing and intense experience.  To have the opportunity to come together, connect with, share with and learn with such an awesome group of like-minded individuals is an unforgettable experience.  Lara provides a safe and nurturing space, and facilitates and guides people through the work in a flexible and empowering way. And f*#@ yeah the food was great! - Joshua, 31

'A soul embracing journey to ecstasy, love, tears, hesitation, breaking, truth, love and more love.  Experiencing an aliveness and vibrational energy that will be remembered for a life time, ravished by life.'. - Greatness Warrior, Ann-Marie Wilson

'I began my journey with Lara completing Leaders INC 12 month program. It wasn't until I worked one on one with her that I began to really see the change.  Now having just completed retreat with some of the most beautiful humans I have ever met, I can honestly say this is life-changing work.  Entering with an pen heart, I leave with a sense of peace and fulfillment.  Thank you to everyone who came of retreat and thank you Lara. - Sally

'What an amazing sequel to the Bali Greatness Warriors retreat. At Bali I felt like I was hit by a bus (in a good soul cleansing way). After this retreat, I'm now driving that bus; out of the dept and into an empowered life. Thank you Lara for holding such a special space'. - Graeme 48.5

'I've cried, laughed, roared, screamed, cried some more and learned so much about myself over the last 3 days. Whilst words do no do justice to this gift that Lara has to connect with others and to connect you with yourself, what I can say, is that it is positively life-changing.  Thank you Lara (when's the next one!). - Steph J

"What an awesome roller coaster ride, full of ups and owns and everything in between.  Togetherness, dancing and F#*@ Yeah!" -Joanne, 30

'An incredible experience of life and living. I felt nurtured, loved and embraced by similar souls on the journey home to love and our hearts. What I believe to be the most important of life journey.  Lara is artful and delightful as a facilitator of the work, a Goddess. Greatness warriors United'. - Timothy, 54
