This summer, we are NOT stressing out during travel and rushing to our flights.

Stress free Retreats for the Summer

These retreats were all recommended and done by AWW members!

  • Floating Leaf Bali Retreat in Bali - classes in meditation, Ayurvedic wellness, fine arts, Balinese culture, permaculture, and more

  • Fivelements in Bali - Fivelements Retreats provide guests seeking an immersive break or holiday, by joining three, five or seven-day retreat programs.

  • International Sivananda - The daily ashram schedule of morning and evening satsang (meditation, chanting and a short talk on the philosophy of yoga), yoga classes and an afternoon program


    “When I first heard about Vipassana, the promise seemed too good to be true and the method was daunting. Was this something I was mentally and physically capable of? For comparison, my usual meditation sitting was 10 minutes. Fortunately, several close friends had come through the course in one piece and all described it the same way: ‘a very challenging but life-changing experience.’ Intuitively, I knew I needed this, so I gathered up the courage to sign up.” - 10 Days of Silence: my life changing Vipassana Journey with Jessica Fan

Summer Lovin Had Me a Blast

My is currently doing slow-nomading in Lisbon and teaching others to tap into the power of dance 🇵🇹

Featured AWW Member: Nguyen Hoang Le My

My name is My! I am originally from Vietnam, however, been living in different places in Europe for the last 13 years. I am currently doing slow-nomad in Lisbon. 3 months ago I quit my job as Head of Influencer Marketing for a tech startup in SF. After a decade of working in Digital Marketing and Sales, I finally have the courage to follow my heart and purpose through dance.

I've recently founded THE CONFIDANCE, a unique company that is on a mission to help 1M people to unlock their full potential through the power of dance.

One of the services I offer is RETREAT for local independent workers around the world. The retreat is not just about dancing. It's an extraordinary journey of self-discovery, growth, and connection that goes far beyond the dance floor.
