You are invited to treat yourself to a week of nourishment, bliss, and discovery in magical Bali! May 6th - 13th, 2025: 8 days and 7 nights to unplug from the obligations of everyday life and recharge yourself with immersion in lush Balinese beauty, scrumptious, nourishing meals, yoga and meditation, sound baths, plenty of free time for relaxation, frequent massages (highly recommended in Bali!) and discovery of many of the scenic, cultural, and spiritual gems Bali has to offer.
The retreat will take place in two beautiful locations, both away from Bali's more crowded areas. We’ll spend the first 4 nights in Amed on Bali’s northeast coast, where we’ll enjoy the water element of the ocean in our backyard, dazzling coastal views and incredible snorkeling. We’ll spend the last 3 nights relishing the earth element, surrounded by green valleys and rice terraces in the serene, unspoiled inland terrain of Sidemen (pronounced “Seedamin”) , where we’ll explore gorgeous waterfalls in Eden-like settings and connect with the heart and soul of Bali.

The daily schedule
Some days will begin with an optional meditation in the peaceful quiet of the early morning, followed by a revitalizing yoga practice, then breakfast. After breakfast, you’ll enjoy free time until lunch.
|
During your free time, you might want to lounge by the pool, go for a walk down the beach, wade into the ocean to snorkel in the coral gardens, sink into bliss with a Balinese massage, or explore Amed and its gorgeous coastal views.
Other days may begin with a sunrise boat ride, where we’ll admire the spectacular colors of Amed’s famous sunrises from the vantage point of a traditional fishing boat, or a hike to gorgeous waterfall, followed by breakfast, free time, and a yoga session just before lunch. |
|
After a delicious lunch, there might be time for more snorkeling or another massage, an optional cooking class, a session with a Balinese healer, a cacao ceremony, or more free time. Later in the afternoon, we may take a drive to a dazzling sunset viewpoint or witness an unforgettable Balinese dance performance.
|
Before dinner, there may be a second yoga practice. Depending on what the day’s schedule has involved, this could be a relaxing practice such as soothing yin or yoga nidra, or a hatha or vinyasa class.
After dinner, there will be more free time, and occasionally a restorative yoga practice, sound bath, breath work, or dynamic meditation. Afterwards, maybe you’ll want to float into bed and drift into a sound sleep right away, or perhaps enjoy a glass of wine or soothing cup of herbal tea under the stars. |
