Bali Day 2

Bali 2015
Day Two, Tuesday, March 17
Today is an easy, relaxed, day to catch up with yourself after crossing so many time zones. Take your time today. You may feel the need to sleep in or relax by the pool in the morning.

At 10 AM, the group gathers for an orientation and welcome presentation by Lisa and Laz. This will be the first of several Tantra teaching sessions you will experience throughout your journey.

Mid-afternoon the group gathers to meet Cokorkda Ratih, a princess from the royal family of Peliatan and the tour’s professional guide and cultural ambassador. She is your expert on all things Balinese. Cok Ratih introduces you to Balinese and Indonesian textiles, shares with you Balinese religion and spirituality and gives a demonstration on how to dress when you visit the temples. She presents you with a gift from Lisa and Laz of a temple sarong and sash.

Late afternoon, dressed in proper temple outfits, the group proceeds to Tanah Lot Temple. Only the holy fresh water spring, located at the base of the temple, is open to the hundreds of tourists who visit Tanah Lot every day. You, however, guided by Cok Ratih, are allowed into the inner temple courtyard where you experience the Balinese manner of making prayers and offerings before the Gods and Goddesses.

After dinner, you’re off to a performance of the dramatic and highly stylized Kecak and Fire dance. With it’s mesmerizing, syncopated chants, it’s haunting incantations and stark imagery, the Kecak promises to be one of your most unforgettable impressions of Bali.

Bali Day One

Bali Itinerary 2015
Day One, Monday, March 16
Welcome to Bali! Yes, it was a long flight and you’ve been traveling many hours but as you step off the plane, you already feel that something’s different, something’s special. You can’t exactly put your finger on it, but Bali is not like any place you’ve been before and it feels great!

After clearing immigration and customs, you are met by Lisa A. Rizzoli and Laz Daka, your Tour Leaders along with Cokorda Ratih, a real Balinese princess, who is your Professional Guide and cultural ambassador for the next 10 days. Cok (pronounced chō) Ratih greets you with flowers and a warm Balinese smile.

After stowing your luggage, you and the other arriving group members board the van for the late afternoon ride to Tanah Lot, site of a Balinese sea temple. The world famous Pura (temple) Tanah Lot, located 30 meters off shore across a rocky flat at low tide, is one of Bali’s most beautiful and picturesque sites.

You arrive in plenty of time to check into your hotel and then view the sun set over the ocean – your first of many quintessential Balinese experiences. After sunset, you and the other group members gather to get acquainted and share a wonderful Welcome Dinner.

An Exclusive Offer

Hello Beloved Friends,

It’s the trip of a lifetime and you are invited to join Lisa A. Rizzoli and Laza Daka as they lead you on a Tantra Adventure Tour in Bali, Indonesia March 16 – March 25, 2015. This exclusive retreat experience weaves elements of Tantra Yoga, active adventures on a magical island and participation in Balinese culture.

Bali is calling YOU!girl

Now, it is not easy to justify doing something so wonderful and so out of the ordinary for yourself. You may need some pretty good arguments to overcome that part of your mind that thinks you really might not deserve to enjoy your life in a big way.

Here are some excellent reasons why a Bali trip is not only a good idea, but it is an absolute necessity. Check it out…

4 Reasons Why You Must Come to Bali:

  1. You need a break! Face it, our lives are intense. We are so focused on work and family and money and school and all the obligations and commitments that make up our lives. That is all good, but it is easy to lose our bearings (and maybe even ourselves!) in all the hustle and bustle. From the moment you step off the plane in Bali, you can feel yourself let go, relax and decompress. What a relief! In Bali, you are half a world away where life is simpler and it moves at a slower pace. Distance lends perspective and it is time to look at your life in a new way.
  2. You need more beauty in your life! lotusWe all do. It is easy to forget howmuch beauty enriches our lives and nurtures our spiritual connection. It is not how many breaths we take in a lifetime that is important, but how many breathtaking moments we allow ourselves to experience. Bali is one of the most beautiful places on this planet. From imposing volcanic mountainscapes to lush rice paddies; from verdant jungles to stunning sunsets over the ocean, your Bali Tantra Adventure Tour is filled with wondrous beauty and awe-inspiring sights and sounds.
  3. You are ready for a change!From a change of pace to a change of scenery to a change of direction. It is time. Bali provides all that and more. In Bali you can step out of your old patterns, your old sense of self and old ways of being and step into an entirely new experience of you. In Bali, creativity and artistry are everywhere a way of life. In a culture so steeped in creativity, among a people so inspired and imaginative, you may very well find yourself reinventing your life in subtle (or even not so subtle) ways. Consider the effect Bali had on Elizabeth Gilbert, author of “Eat, Pray, Love”.dancers
  1. It is not just a vacation, it is a Spiritual Adventure!namaste When you take a break from your ordinary, day-to-day routine, you want more value from the experience than just sitting at the beach sipping margaritas. You are a multi-dimensional being and you are ready to cultivate and develop more than just your suntan. Unlike the West, Bali is a culture which recognizes the presence of Spirit in every aspect of the life of the individual and the community. For the Balinese, Spirit is everywhere and Bali is considered to be the Island of Gods. Allowing yourself to open to and experience this Presence can be profoundly transformative at the deepest soul levels.

And, surpise! A bonus reason . . .

  1. It will make your co-workers and friends so jealous!That is a small minded and rather petty, so let us just say that your Bali Tantra Adventure Tour will be the most amazing, fun and spiritually expansive journey that anyone you know will experience. You will have bragging rights and the best pictures to share for a good long time.

Here is what one of our participants from the 2013 adventure shares:

Last Spring, I decided to follow Lisa on a Tantric adventure through Bali. I had only recently been introduced to Tantra so I had many questions before the trip, and Lisa was very attentive and helpful in addressing all of my concerns. Once in Bali, she did an amazing job of leading our group and coordinating every last detail of our fantastic experience. It was a wonderfully balanced combination of study, practice, community, adventure, culture and solitude. I came back home with a deeper understanding of my body and a greater connection to all the beautiful sacred energy that is continually flowing through me. I felt internally energized and profoundly awakened to living more consciously in every aspect of my life. Sacred living had become my reality.

Divine Intervention

Sometimes things don’t go the way I had planned or think they should. When I breathe into the moment, open my heart and follow the path the Universe shows me, I end up at amazing places like this!
I’m grateful for Divine Intervention!

Heart’s Desire Meditation

Today’s meditation is on the true heart’s desire. As I breathe in, close my eyes and feel the warmth of the sun on my body, I ask the question, “what is my heart’s desire?” The stillness and quiet come, my mind begins to think and I gently remind myself to be patience to await the answer. And there remains stillness. Ahhhh that is the answer. My true heart’s desire in this moment is to experience the quiet, the stillness, the nothingness of being with myself and the Universe.
Blessings to you today!

January 2015

Happy New Year Beloved Friends,

I am looking forward to an incredible year of abundance, adventures and excitement. I hope you will join me in exploring deeper into the spiritual spaces of what is possible. Let’s open doors, step through and see what is beyond our wildest dreams.

On Sunday January 11, 2015 I will be hosting a VisionBoard Playshop followed by the Manifesting Puja. Visionboards are great tools to manifest our dreams, our passions, our desires, and our intentions. They are collages of images that represent what we want to bring into our lives and give us a visual medium to focus our energy on. In this playshop, we will discuss how this technique can be a potent part of planning for the future, how to energize the visionboard and use it to continue to inspire throughout the year. Read more about my personal experience with visionboard manifestation.

6January 19th and January 24th I will teaming up with Caroline Carrington in Oakland, CA to teach Exploring the G-Spot and Female Ejaculation. January 19th is a demonstration class and the 24th is a hands-on experience for the students. For more information please click on the links or you can contact me directly.

And the most exciting upcoming event is the Tantra Adventure tour in Bali, Indonesia. Laz Daka and I have been creating an incredible itinerary and curriculum for this retreat. It is the adventure of a lifetime as we weave Tantra teachings into the exploration of the island’s sacred sites and the Balinese culture. Visit http://www.embarkuponasacredjourney.com for the detailed itinerary. I hope you will join us. Here are a few highlights from previous trips:

Setting Intentions

Hooping is what first brought me to Bali. It was New Year’s Day 2010, I was contemplating what I wanted to bring into my life. One of my years aspirations was to attend a hoop retreat on the east coast, I put my intentions into the Universe and did a ritual at the fire. The next day, I received an invite from Jaguar Mary to join her in Bali for the first annual Sacred Circularities Retreat.
The power of intention and manifestation is magical. I fell in love with Bali and now I invite you to join Laz Daka and I (Lisa A. Rizzoli) on a Tantra Adventure Tour in the magical lands of Bali, Indonesia. We will combine Tantra teachings with Balinese culture and explorations of the island to provide an adventure of a lifetime.
