You're invited to join me on a remote sailing adventure to discover some of the most phenomenal snorkeling destinations on the planet, aboard a comfortable wooden schooner - a traditional phinisi.
Raja Ampat is the most beautiful marine park in the world, the last frontier of diving and snorkeling. Sharks, manta rays, pygmy seahorses and huge schools of fish find their home among infinite species of perfectly intact coral., waterfalls, lagoons and Papuan villages satisfy the desire to travel even for the most experienced traveller.
This once-in-a-lifetime experience is perfect for snorkelers and divers, and our small group of only ten ensures comfort and safety. Everything is included on this journey - just come aboard for adventure!
You'll be in the safe hands of two of the most experienced British explorers of the Raja Ampat region whose passion is to share with you their combined 50 years of knowledge of sailing and diving in this specific region at the remote, eastern extremity of the Indonesian archipelago where stunningly beautiful Birds of Paradise and the most extraordinarily rich sea life will astound you.!
I sailed with our Divemaster, Graham, 3 years ago, and it absolutely changed my worldview!

BALI ART RETREAT
Christine Hingston & Anna Kwiecinska
Rich offerings in this unique retreat with two separate but related workshops:
Join us on a NEW Bali Art Adventure - beginning with 3 nights by the sea in Sanur (not far from the arrival airport in Bali), to spend 2 days dedicated to Ceramics, followed by a special, private museum experience in the beautiful mountains surrounding Ubud to get to know more about the tribal arts of Eastern Indonesia and Papua. You'll then arrive at Villa Nilaya by the sea in Candi Dasa for 5 nights, where you'll paint a large canvas using the sgraffito techniques you learnt at the ceramics studio, now fuelled by the tribal artifacts you've learnt about.
This NEW retreat offering with Christine Hingston and Anna Kwiecinska is 9 days/ 8 nights.
You'll take home a large canvas, and all of the ceramic objects that you have decorated!

Anna’s ‘Writing by the Sea in Bali’ retreat , held in a stunning sanctuary, was the perfect place to totally sink into our writing. Anna took care of our every needwith such warmth and care, leaving us able to focus on what we came here for. Will absolutely return.

What I got out of it: I have a revived passion to re-write and then finish my book. I feel that I now have the tools and the understanding of processes which will enable me to tell the story which I feel must be told. I learnt that everyone has the right to write.
