Win a Scholarship to a Chōsen Experience in Bali

THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED.

Without jumping on the "new year, new you" bandwagon of nonsense, a little (or a lot) of self-improvement is no bad thing. To help you stay true to 2019 intentions while they're fresh, we've partnered with Chōsen Experiences, Compare Retreats and Thai Airways to give one reader the chance to jet off to Bali on a seven-day programme of self-discovery.

Led by renowned nutritionists, Olympic athletes and doctors, the Chōsen Bali Optimisation Experience is a signature experiential learning program, tailor-made for mental, physical and emotional development. Your week-long itinerary is aimed at achieving an optimal state of consciousness, fostering positive self-exploration, fitness and community connections. In essence, it is an "ideal week" where all the basics - think nutritious organic meals, fitness, wellness and adventure activities - are taken care of so that you can focus on reaching your full potential.

Over the course of seven days you will be perfectly fuelled, challenged and rested. Alongside physical exercise, each Experience includes workshops, experiential learning, mindfulness and much more. Partake in daily yin yoga against a backdrop of palm-fringed beaches or make the most of having the Indian Ocean on your doorstep with some surfing. End your day with a class about the power of breath and a relaxing massage. All your activities (as well as meals and beverages) are included as part of your curated itinerary.

With balance part of the core philosophy, peak physical and mental performance are the key outputs, setting you on a course to follow your optimal way of living long after you have left. You'll return home more fulfilled, healthier and happier, equipped with the tools to help you continue your journey on home soil (several attendees have been known to quit unsatisfying jobs before the week was out).
