Devotion - The Bali Experience

Returning To The Sacredness Within
Get ready to step into an unforgettable portal filled with magical scenery and where every place you enter feels like you stepped into a postcard. A land where ancient tradition is still practiced and honored. This trip is a soul call to many and for some it is a trip of a lifetime. For others, it is a place that they return to again and again because there is something indescribable that is felt at soul level. This experience is all about reminding you that your existence is to be celebrated daily.
This retreat features 5 magical days in the beautiful island of Bali. We will be staying at a beautiful resort overlooking the holy Balian river. Maria chose this location where many serene wellness and healing traditions were hosted amongst its sacred waters because it felt only fitting since that’s what this retreat is all about. This small resort gives a taste of barefoot luxury, and is the perfect starting point for an unforgettable Bali trip.
The ultimate goddess experience! We will have the whole retreat center to ourselves. Get ready to be treated like the queen that you are. Daily rejuvenating yoga and breathwork sessions, inspiring adventures, decadent spa treatments, delicious meals and views to feast your eyes. You will be pampered, nourished, and reminded daily that you are worthy of deep self love.
Seamless, attentive service and full admiration for the astonishing gifts of the natural world, this divine space invites both reflection and the exploration of Bali´s west coast secrets. This pilgrimage is all about igniting your soul’s desires and rekindling your spiritual connection. It does not matter what your religious background is, this retreat will bring you closer to reverence and to honoring that divine union and the relationship with yourself. Finding peace and clarity within, exploring what is next for you in this phase of life, and how to insert more fun and play in your everyday. You will leave with powerful tools, abundant experiences of deep awakening, and gain life-long friendships with women on the same quest as you.

You want to connect to what makes you feel most alive

Retreating with Maria is very hard to explain. It is the type of experience that is a short few days but feels like months of even years of healing. Maria attracts magical women that feel like they are missing part of their magic. She connects these women and guides them through unique and powerful activities and ceremonies to show them what they need to see and feel in order to return home powerful, strong, seen and clear. If you are considering this investment in yourself please listen to the little voice saying “maybe this is it”. You will not regret taking this pause with yourself to recharge, transform, to breathe… Maria is magical. The kind of magical you’d like to keep for yourself but you know you must share with the world of women who can be helped and healed and freed by her.

Maria’s Puerto Rico retreat was so healing. She took us home with her, and I let all the love from her beloved island. Going through such a huge transformation and doing the hard work in such an amazingly beautiful environment was so rewarding for me. Maria held us, just like Mother Nature has. She’s waking up women everywhere and opening us up to receive so much love and growth. I made beautiful connections with every woman who attended. We truly leave as sisters. Maria Brito’s retreat is a must for every woman!

you will leave:
Refreshed, aligned and empowered
Mentally stronger and more focused than ever
With tools to serve you for a lifetime
A sisterhood of women who are leveling up just like you

I am grateful for the gift to myself of attending another magical Maria retreat weekend. This was my second retreat that Maria has led and just as powerful as I remember. Although I have put the work in before each retreat, the experience of each was completely different. This weekend, with Maria’s guidance, was a rebirth. I feel connected to these other women, the earth under my feet, and my place in it. If you are looking for four days at what I call “soul school” Maria’s retreats are the medicine that I recommend and intend to take as many times as able.

Maria, Thank you for creating a space for all of us to show up as our true self. How we showed up is not how we are leaving. This journey is one I will never forget. Thank you for creating ceremony, workshops and space for us to open up, break the chords, shed layers, feel again and let go of what no longer serves us. Thank you for doing the work yourself so you can share it with us. To the person that is thinking about this but not sure. The answer is, “this is your sign”. Go to retreat and try this!!

This experience made me see and appreciate how powerful, strong but at the same time how hurt and in so much suffering women are. Made me connect to these wonderful souls. Made me connect with myself, my roots, nature and to the feminine energy that we carry but sometimes we don’t let out. I am grateful, I am strong and through this work I released what I wanted to release. So much love can’t be contained. Such a safe space to be myself, be held, be respected, be understood, be seen. Maria is a magical bruja.

2020 started a journey of awakening – so many things were just not right in the world. Locked in my house and having to become quiet caused me to go inward and start exploring. I wanted to figure out what we were not being told. Took an astrology class, walked into a crystal store – not knowing why. Heard about Maria and the chance to meet other like-minded women. I knew that I was supposed to come on “retreat” but didn’t know why. As the months led to retreat, I was told that there was a lot of ancestral trauma in my family and that I was going to be the one to have to break the cycle and do the work to heal it. I was given the tools and the opportunity to do just that at retreat. I was also given the opportunity to meet other similar – strong – like-minded women – in their 20’s to 60’s. It was so encouraging to see the younger women learning and making a change already. Thank you Maria and thank you new friends. This sacred time will not be forgotten.

I was so anxious about coming to this retreat. I didn’t want to cry and be vulnerable in front of others. I didn’t want them to see me “weak”. I am not someone who cries in front of others. My reason for coming was to learn how to be softer. I now have 21 sisters that I didn’t know before with whom I can be vulnerable and cry with. I am so thankful that I took this huge step out of my comfort zone. I feel loved and supported and I now know that being vulnerable is being strong. My soul is so happy and my heart is full. Thank you Maria for asking me to join you. I will never forget my time here.

Wow! I am overwhelmed with the love and support from such a beautiful group of ladies. While most women think it isn’t possible to feel held, not judged, and loved by other women, Maria has created it! I am forever thankful for this weekend and every one of these ladies. I finally feel I have my power back!
- Leslie Sotoudehnia, Alabama
Mama Maria, you are truly amazing and inspiring, patient and kind! This retreat was the most amazing journey that I have ever been on! Your work is truly life-changing and powerful. You have always been there to lend an ear…but THIS my dear lovely…THIS is everything!!! Thank you for being who you are and for all the work you do not only do for others but for yourself. You ARE and INSPIRATION!

Recharged. SEEN. HELD. Connected. Supported. In the mountains of Puerto Rico, Maria led me back to myself and my power. Leaving I feel a conqueror. I am leaving with more sisters, a tribe of women who have my back. I am leaving this retreat with gratefulness for taking this opportunity for “expansion”.
- Felecia McInnish, Honduras
This was my first retreat experience with Maria. It is hard to put into words all the things/emotions felt these past few days. I really had to dig deep within myself and quit thinking so much and just feel and let go. I have gained so much wisdom and healing from all of these beautiful women. I am so blessed to have a community of women who feel like sisters and mentors that I look up to and can be vulnerable with. Before coming on this trip I felt timid to show myself and my heart. I was scared and didn’t know what to expect. But now I am so SO happy I did and took the leap of faith. I am proud of myself and all the beautiful women I got to connect with and will continue to love.
- Miranda Riley, Tennessee
I am beyond grateful for this amazing experience. This work is hard but extremely powerful. My wish is that every woman has this experience. I feel renewed, powerful, forgiven, held, nourished, and like a goddess. I have re-connected with my real self and I have nourished my soul. As I leave this beautiful island, I take the spirit of all my new beautiful sister-tribe with me and I will have these beautiful moments to reflect on for eternity. I am grateful to have so many strong women to turn to at any time I am in need of love. Maria is a true goddess. She has been the light for me and for that I am forever grateful.
- Luanne Hardee, Alabama
As my journey began on Wednesday, I reminded myself to stay open to the wonders of each day and not to expect but appreciate whatever God, Mother Earth, and the Universe presented through each minute, hour, and each day of this retreat. I was beyond blown away with the love, support, and acceptance from Maria and each and every woman I connected with from this retreat. Maria guided each of us in our own unique way. Maria held space, showered us with love, respect, and spoke the truth we needed to hear through our journey. I came in feeling unaccepted and I leave accepting ALL that I am! I feel lighter and so loved. Thank you Maria.
- Dana D-Angelo, Alabama
Thank you, thank you Spirit, thank you Maria, THANK YOU. This experience has been the beginning, the true beginning of me. I am so so so deeply grateful for Maria, Mama Maria, and all of my beautiful sisters that I’ve gained from this experience. Healing is a process that I, before this experience, was difficult for me to continue once starting but being here has given me the love and support that I was missing to keep on in this journey. I confidently proclaim to continue to do this work. I am now empowered. I feel as an eagle standing at the top of a mountain with tucked wings and expanded breast ready to tackle. Taking one good look around and knowing the beauty I see around me is only going to become more and more beautiful. Thank you Maria. I expand my wings, take a deep breath, and am allowing the wind to take me. Thank you thank you, thank you, this is only the beginning for me.
