Please be aware that the first day of your retreat and the last day of your retreat are travel days. For example, if a retreat starts from 4 May to 16 May, you must fly in on 4 May, and 16 May is the day you fly out.
When booking, please aim to land in Bali in the early afternoon on your first day and exit Bali in the early evening / late night on the last day.

What You Need to Bring
Extra Luggage
- Since shopping is guaranteed, you need lots of space in the luggage! 😜
- For the same reason, I also suggest you to get extra baggage for your flight back home, as airlines can be strict with their luggage regulation.
- However, if it still exceeds, we can help arrange shipping at your own cost.
Patterns and Samples
- Bring your favourite patterns for quilting/any textile projects so you can preplan your fabric shopping.
- Since we also offer tailoring services, you can also bring your favourite dress/tops/bottoms as samples for our tailors.
Cash and Cards
- You will need spending money for lunch, dinners, drinks, souvenirs, optional tours and shopping days etc.
- Though not all, most places accept cards in Bali (like in my shop and cafe). I suggest bringing a little bit of cash and converting it in Candidasa, or you can lend some from me to be paid back later. Plenty of money changers in Candidasa.
- Avoid converting it in the airport as it may delay the group's collective arrival.
Suggested Attires
- ¾ pants and T-shirts or knee-length dresses are suitable.
- Bathers for swimming
- Flip-flops and good walking shoes.
- Last but not least, your sunscreen.
Sense of Humour
- Sense of humour and easygoing approach to the Balinese people as they are one of the friendliest people on earth and really like to talk to guests.

We are now located in Bali – the final charges during checkout will be in IDR (Indonesian Rupiah), which may look like a lot of numbers (in thousands, 000).
Don’t worry, though, the prices have been adjusted correctly to our AUD benchmark
