“Travel brings power and love back into your life.”
― Rumi Jalalud-Din

For over 15 years, Inspired Life Choices has been dedicated to offering once-in-a-lifetime experiences for our guests. Spiritual retreats are such a wonderful way to disconnect from the noise of daily life and reconnect with yourself on a deeper level. Imagine being in breathtaking destinations like Bali, Tuscany, New Zealand, or Sedona—where the environment itself seems to soothe and inspire.

Each place brings its own unique energy and experiences—whether it’s the serene beaches and the rich spiritual culture of Bali, the scenic rolling hills of Tuscany, the vibrant architecture of Barcelona, the expansive landscapes of New Zealand, or the mystical aura of Sedona. It’s like each retreat is a chapter in a personal journey toward self-discovery and growth.

Our next retreat in September 2025 is in beautiful New Zealand,
with an optional extension to Sydney, Australia!

Our Philosophy

We honor all spiritual beliefs and faith traditions in celebration of the many paths to the One.

Our daily workshops are carefully designed to touch on a rich tapestry of subjects designed to create fresh perspectives and insights. We create an environment where our guests can genuinely grow, reflect, and connect with their inner selves and other like-minded people. No matter if it’s career, health, or relationships you’re working on – or simply a yearning to be, do and have “more” in life – you will find inspiration, spiritual connection, and a deepened awareness of your own true potential.

The Dragonfly – Our Spirit Animal

Our retreat “spirit animal” is the dragonfly. In almost every part of the world, the dragonfly symbolizes change, transformation, adaptability, and self-realization: a deeper meaning of life.

Dragonflies inspire us to move with ease and grace through life’s changes and to embrace deeper meanings. Connecting with this energy often brings about such wonderful transformations, and we love supporting you through those new awarenesses. Being a part of workshops filled with music and nature exploration is the perfect way to tap into the energy of transformation… and don’t be surprised if a friendly dragonfly actually flutters by— a magical confirmation of your journey! 

In the end, it is our intention that you will reconnect and be transformed with moments of renewal, joy, and more love than you could ever imagine.
