Flow State Retreat
A six day immersion into embodied presence
Friday June 5th to Wednesday June 10th, 2026
A retreat for people who live with a persistent sense that there’s more available to them.
This retreat is for people who live with a sense that there is more available to them.
Not more effort.
Not another version of self improvement.
But a deeper connection to who they already are.
Flow State is a six day/five night immersion in Bali designed to support a return to presence, clarity, and inner steadiness. Through carefully sequenced practices and guided experiences, this retreat invites you to step out of the noise of everyday life and back into a way of being that feels grounded, honest, and light.
It is being held at a private villa in Bali, reserved exclusively for our group. The environment is designed to support presence, rest, and ease, with beautiful accommodation, nourishing meals, and dedicated spaces for practice, reflection, and downtime.
This is not a break from life, but an experience designed to stay with you long after you return home.

The Flow State retreat is held at Villa Tulou, a private hillside property overlooking the green landscape of Bali. Set above Jimbaran, it’s a calm, spacious place that feels easy to settle into.
For the duration of the retreat, the entire property is reserved for our group. There are no outside guests and no shared spaces with anyone else. This creates a strong sense of privacy and ease, allowing you to rest, slow down, and be fully present.
The villa is surrounded by gardens and centred around a large pool, with open communal areas as well as quieter corners to retreat to. There are dedicated spaces for practice, reflection, and rest, along with shaded outdoor areas to read, journal, or simply sit.
Accommodation at Villa Tulou includes a mix of room styles across the property. Some rooms are private villas, including pool villas, while others are bungalows or simple rooms within the main building. All rooms are designed for comfort and privacy, offering different ways to rest depending on what feels right for you.
Once you arrive, everything you need is here. There’s nowhere to rush to and nothing to manage beyond the retreat itself.
Villa Tulou is located in Jimbaran, a short drive from Uluwatu’s beaches and restaurants, but once you’re inside the gates, the outside world falls away. It’s a setting that supports simple routines, quiet presence, and the kind of spaciousness that makes it easier to come back to yourself.
Full accommodation details, including room options and allocations, are shared separately so you can choose the space that best supports your stay.

The Flow of the Retreat
Flow State is designed as a journey rather than a collection of experiences.
The retreat begins with settling and arrival, supporting nervous system safety and grounding in the body. From there, practices gradually deepen, inviting greater awareness, emotional honesty, and embodiment. Each day builds on the one before it, allowing insight and presence to unfold naturally rather than being rushed.
By the final days, many people notice they feel more at home in themselves. More present. More aligned. Not because anything has been added, but because what was already there has had space to emerge.
We have consciously chosen to open this retreat to both men and women who feel called to attend. There is a strong narrative at the moment that men and women are meant to be cautious of one another. That shared spaces are unsafe, charged, or complicated. For many people, that hesitation makes sense.
This retreat does not dismiss those concerns. It offers a different possibility.
When men and women come together in a consciously held space, something uniquely regulating can occur. The nervous system begins to register safety, not through ideas, but through lived experience. There is less performance, less bracing, less need to defend or withdraw.
This retreat is not about fixing gender dynamics or analysing relationships. It is about creating a mature, intentional field where people meet as humans rather than roles. Where difference does not need to be managed, and connection does not require agenda.
In this kind of shared space, people often notice their own patterns more clearly. Where they hold back. Where they overextend. Where they armour or soften. Because the space is held with care and integrity, these patterns do not need to be acted out. They can simply be noticed.
For many, this becomes one of the most quietly powerful aspects of the retreat.
Who This Retreat Is For
This retreat is for you if you recognise yourself in any of this.
-
You sense there is more to you than the roles you play or the life you manage.
-
You feel tired of holding it all together or performing versions of yourself that no longer fit.
-
You want depth and honesty without drama, pressure, or needing to prove anything.
-
You are ready to slow down and listen inward rather than keep searching outside yourself.
-
You feel drawn to reconnect with yourself in a quieter, more embodied, more truthful way.
You do not need to be fixed.
You do not need to have anything worked out.
You just need to be willing to arrive as you are.
Why six days
Because real settling takes time.
Five days allows your nervous system to let go of constant vigilance.
It allows your body to catch up.
And it creates space for insight to arrive without being forced.
This is the difference between understanding something intellectually and living it from the inside.
What you will leave with
A clearer sense of yourself.
More space inside your body and mind.
Greater trust in your own inner guidance.
And a felt understanding of how to live from that place of presence and alignment once you return home.
You may find yourself here not because something is dramatically wrong, but because something feels subtly off.
Perhaps you feel flat, de-energised, or uninspired. Not in crisis, but not fully alive either. Life is functioning, but it lacks texture & maybe even, depth. The sense of inner conviction or vitality that once felt natural has faded into the background.
This often happens when we have moved far enough away from ourselves that we are no longer living from what actually feels true. Our days become organised around responsibility, habit, and expectation, rather than clarity, presence, and inner alignment.
Flow State is designed for this in-between space.
Not for fixing or forcing change, but for creating the conditions to reconnect with who you are at your best, what matters to you now, and what supports you to feel grounded, energised, and clear.
For many, this retreat becomes a turning point after periods of challenge, uncertainty, or long stretches of simply getting through. It offers the space to reset, to listen inward, and to re-engage with life from a place that feels honest and resourced rather than depleted or driven.

This retreat is co facilitated by Cassandra Varga (Tormey) and Damian Murdoch, long time friends who have taken different paths through life, yet arrived in the same place.
Cassandra brings over three decades of experience working with people through periods of transition, growth, and change. Her background spans kundalini yoga, meditation, breathwork, Yoga Nidra, functional nutrition, and Somatic Experiencing informed practices. Her work is grounded in nervous system awareness, embodiment, and supporting people to reconnect with their inner clarity and capacity, both personally and professionally.
Damian brings a depth of experience in breathwork, coaching, facilitation, and human connection, with a strong focus on emotional honesty, personal responsibility, and what it means to live well in the real world. His work is practical, relational, and deeply human, supporting people to move beyond old patterns and show up more fully in their lives and relationships.
Having known each other since their teenage years, Cassandra and Damian bring a rare ease and trust into the space they hold together. Their shared history, combined with complementary skill sets, creates an environment that is warm, grounded, and deeply respectful of each person’s individual process.
The retreat is shaped by both of their lived experience and professional practice, offering guidance that is embodied, thoughtful, and attuned, rather than prescriptive or performative.
Co Facilitation
What You Will Experience
Each day we move at a different pace, slower, steadier, more intentional.
Through guided practices including breathwork, meditation, movement, nervous system regulation, reflection, and deep rest, we create the conditions for real inner listening. The kind that only emerges when the noise quietens.
When you stop running. Stop fixing. Stop hustling. And let yourself stay with what’s here, even when it feels unfamiliar or uncomfortable.
From this place, clarity doesn’t need to be chased. It arises naturally. Not as answers handed to you, but as something felt, known, and embodied.
A 6 day/5 night immersion.
This is not just a break. It’s a reset.
It’s a chance to put yourself first, not just for a few moments, but for an experience that stays with you long after you return home.
Flow State is intentionally designed as a journey rather than a series of standalone experiences. Each day builds on the one before it, beginning with arrival and nervous system safety, then gradually opening awareness, embodiment, and inner trust. As the retreat unfolds, practices deepen and integrate, supporting a move from doing and managing life, to inhabiting it more fully. By the final days, many people notice they feel more grounded, present, and connected to themselves, not because anything has been added, but because what was already there has had space to come forward.
Mornings
Laying the foundations
Mornings are where the groundwork is laid. Each day begins with practices that support arrival, grounding, and nervous system safety, before gradually building capacity and awareness as the retreat unfolds.
Through morning sadhana, kundalini kriya, meditation, breathwork, and somatic practices, the body and mind are gently prepared for deeper listening. The focus shifts over the days from settling and stabilising, to opening the heart, strengthening inner resources, and reconnecting with a felt sense of trust and vitality.
These sessions are intentionally sequenced so that each morning builds on the one before it, allowing awareness and embodiment to grow naturally rather than being rushed.
Afternoons
Integration and exploration
Afternoons are designed to support integration. This is where what has been stirred in the mornings has time to land, make sense, and be felt more fully.
Guided sessions may include reflective practices, somatic exploration, group sharing, journalling, or gentle inquiry, alongside generous space for rest, massage or spa treatments, and unstructured time.
As the days progress, afternoons invite deeper honesty and self connection, supporting participants to explore old patterns, reconnect with pleasure and ease, and recognise what feels aligned and true for them now.
Evenings
Settling and embodiment
Evenings are about settling everything back into the body. Practices such as Yoga Nidra, nervous system regulation, somatic integration, mantra, and meditation support deep rest and assimilation.
Each evening gently closes the day, allowing insights to move from thought into felt experience. Over the course of the retreat, these sessions support a growing sense of inner steadiness, clarity, and embodiment.
By the final evenings, many people notice they are no longer trying to arrive. They are already there, present, grounded, and living from a quieter, more connected place within themselves.
The Practices That Support You
Meditation
Guided meditation practices to help you slow down, clear mental noise, and reconnect with yourself. These sessions focus on awareness and presence, not trying to empty the mind or get it “right.”
Somatic Awareness
Gentle body based practices that help you notice where you hold stress or emotion. This work supports release and integration in a way that feels safe and manageable, without needing to talk everything through.
Breathwork
Guided breathing sessions to help you release tension, settle your nervous system, and reconnect with your body. Some sessions are gentle and calming, others are deeper and more energising, always guided and well supported.
Kundalini Yoga
Movement based practices that combine simple postures, breath, and sound. These sessions are designed to build strength, stability, and awareness in the body, without needing flexibility or prior experience.
Yoga Nidra (NSDR)
Deep rest practices where you lie down and are guided into a state of calm and restoration. These sessions support nervous system reset, integration, and deep relaxation, often leaving you feeling rested and clear.
Reflection and Integration
Simple journaling, quiet reflection, and optional group sharing to help you make sense of what you’re experiencing and bring it into everyday life.

Testimonial
I recently had the chance to attend a retreat led by Cassi, and it was one of the most powerful (yet gentle) experiences I’ve had. From the moment I arrived, there was this unspoken sense of calm, like I could breathe properly for the first time in ages.
Cassi has a way of making you feel completely safe and seen without ever needing to say much. Her presence is steady, grounded, and incredibly real.
She doesn’t perform 'holding space', she just does it, in a way that’s felt, not forced. Whether we were in meditation, in conversation, or just sitting with a cup of tea, it always felt like she was right there with us, not leading from the front, but alongside us.
What stayed with me was the simplicity of it all, no fluff, no pressure, just space to reconnect. I left feeling more like myself, and deeply grateful for the other attendeesI met and the atmosphere Cassi created. It wasn’t dramatic or life-shattering, it was something better. Honest, lasting, and real.
