​A journey to reclaim your power


So often we are looking outside ourselves for something; it might be that through our travels we are seeking adventure, though our careers we are seeking aliveness, through our relationships we are seeking love.. and yet everything that is external isn’t sustainable and we then become reliant on that which is outside ourselves. This magical journey is to ignite all that you seek from within; empowered to live through choice, personal power and effortless action.

There's no hurry

So we take time to do retreat, to slowly integrate, to remove ourselves from the distractions of everyday. And through the 7-days we drop in deeper and deeper and allow time for the transformations to unfold. And the result is just witnessing people coming alive and remembering who they are...  coming home in themselves, to then going back into the world a new.

Why do I use the term Greatness Warriors?


Because warriors choose to do their work. To show up and take a deep dive and really discover more about themselves.  And if I had to define Greatness, it is to live present, connected, alive and free.. and who doesn’t want that?!

Are you ready to IGNITE a truly GREAT Life?

This 7-days is a time to ignite and awaken a truly great life.. from the inside out.   

​

​"I don't believe in luck... good or bad.  I believe in the power of love and when we lead with that, all things are possible. It is through daily practices and deliberate intention, healthy choices and the courage to awaken that we create a truly rich, fulfilling and GREAT life." - Lara Wilson

Your Facilitator, Lara Wilson

I’ve dedicated almost 30 years now to understand human dynamics, spiritually and philosophy of self to help show you the way.  But more than that, my journey has shown me there is a ‘recipe’ for a great life, a map and compass leading to the pot of gold. And an alchemist within each of us all awaiting ignition to create a truly great life.

What I have been gifted is the ability to see you; where you are, what's in the way, and how to navigate your life's path.  As your guide I provide you your map and compass, help you to feel and heal, and most importantly awaken your inner-alchemist for you to reclaim your power.  This is what I now share in my 1:1 sessions and  transformational programs and retreats. 
MORE ABOUT LARA


A Soulful Journey in a Safe and Magical Land
​


The daily processes are designed to gradually weave their magic over the 7 days as we unpack and create  new awareness of your inner and outer world; identifying where you are disconnected, learning to see the unseen, releasing the old outdated paradigms and igniting and reclaiming your true essence and personal power.  And not from just a theory based approach, rather a deep immersion into feeling, healing and creating from your deepest intelligence; your body, heart and soul. But more than that this retreat creates a philosophy for your life reconnecting and aligning you to your soul's magic and purpose, and a new way of life - Present, Connected, Alive and Free.

  • I now know that I am a powerhouse creator and I have the knowledge, tools and know-how to live a truly great life!

Retreat Lovers Testimonials
​


​“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”.  - Katie Barget

"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.." - Sian, Isle of Man, UK.

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! - Sophie Luff

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 reignite my heart and fully connect to my body. I came to shed my self doubt and fears, listening to my head at the sacrifice of my heart. With no idea of what I was getting myself into, I trusted Lara on this journey to provide space, guide me and facilitate what was one of the most amazing experiences through the Greatness Warriors retreat.

For the first time in so many years I felt love, from the deepest part of my heart. 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 the Greatness Warrior retreat 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 highly enough Lara's Bali 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. - Michelle Luff​

​
​Michelle's shares about her experience returning the next year.

​"This was my second retreat with Lara in Ubud.  I was opened up to what is truly possible on the first retreat. To learn to live my life daily being authentically myself with effortless action and being present, connected, alive and free is truly amazing, and I wanted more of that. So much so that I signed up for Lara’s second retreat as soon as the dates were announced!
 
As soon as I entered the grounds to the venue the Retreat began. All I had to do was surrender and go with the flow for the next 7 days. From the beautiful surroundings, authentic people, Lara had gone over and above to ensure we were looked after.  I continued to learn more about myself, gosh I now understand the saying “Never stop learning because life never stops teaching” and I have found an amazing teacher in life, Lara.
 
To mention just a few of the many things that I have taken away with me;


  • The power of repetition. Even-though I have learnt many teachings and taken ample notes, the penny drops so to speak when your ready. This I experienced many times during the 2nd retreat.
  • I really experienced the power of getting out of my head and into my feelings and connecting with my soul. What a HUGE awareness to learn why, how and who was living/driving my life.
  • To truly feel the power of sitting still in my feelings and not running away or keeping busy and allowing, WOW what can start off as confronting can then evolve into total liberation and sheer bliss.
Lara’s has such an intuitive way of working with people. She creates such a wonderful special retreat with her guidance, knowledge, presence and awareness. Her wisdom is endless.  If you have the desire to be the best you can, this retreat is it in so many ways. I would highly recommend it. I’m already looking forward to 2018 :))." - Michelle Luff, Victoria

​"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". - Graeme 48

​“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

"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"!

"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".

“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


​Isaac shares his journey in two parts; before retreat started and after retreat.

"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

"​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 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...."

"​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 2017 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." 
Christy Parker, Melbourne Australia
