IMAGINE…
you sleeping soundly every night, you no longer feel the burden of the old, toxic relationships you used to carry out of obligation or guilt.
feeling more confident in taking leaps that no longer feel so scary, like traveling alone to new places because you now know you will always find new friends wherever you go.
falling deeply in love with every aspect of yourself and the past choices you made for survival. You can now realize any shame or guilt about the lost friendships, loves, and family are no longer aligned with who you are, and who you are becoming.

Meet Your Guide, MaryJo Samaritano
Namaste!
My belief is that past experiences are our source and path to wisdom.
Although my yoga practice has spanned over decades, I’ve been most consistent for over 15 years. During and after a tumultuous time in my life, yoga helped me heal, leading me to find my truth and inner peace. I started to realize that it was good for my mental as well as physical health. The practice taught me to love deeper and be even more kind; not just to others, but to myself.
In early 2013, I decided to sell my home, pack my belongings (including my two cats) and move to South Florida. I chose to make this change and look at how things were happening “for” me, not “to” me. It was time to reclaim my power. A time to remove myself from situations that were siphoning my divine energy. As my practice continued, I felt the pull to share with others, and began my teaching journey.
I am passionate about many modalities, yet sharing therapeutic styles lights me up. I was recently certified in MVT109™ and can’t wait to lead this offering! I am grateful to have all of this to share with you, and am honored for the opportunity to guide you in this magical sacred place, Where Friends Gather.

The Joy Professionals
Quick to smile and easy to laugh, the Balinese are experts at living a life of joy and fulfillment. They live in the moment, neither regretting past events nor vexing on what has yet to happen.
Perhaps nowhere else on Earth lives a better example of truly living in a joyful state than in Bali. Life here is interwoven with spirituality, delight in daily rituals and appreciation for all surrounding them.
We live, work, play and grow in harmony with our local community, the people of Sukawati village. Their support and encouragement for Floating Leaf was a driving force in our development and we involve the community in deciding exactly which philanthropic efforts will be of most help and interest to them.
Floating Leaf Eco-Retreat believes in full transparency. The “++” that you will see for all hotels in Bali, and throughout Asia, refers to a government mandatory tax and service charge. Please be aware of this when comparing prices as some retreats will not disclose this information and can inflate this charge up to 40% in hidden costs.
Our policy is to be open and upfront and explain that the “++” at Floating Leaf is the minimum additional 21%. Your non-refundable non-transferable deposit secures your spot on this Bali retreat. Please be sure to read our complete terms and conditions. Thank you and we look forward to welcoming you to Bali and Floating Leaf Eco-Luxury Retreat.
