Schedule

Rather than filling every moment with constant activity and stimulation, the intention for this experience around being instead of doing, spaciousness instead of pressure, and presence instead of performance. There will be movement, ceremonies, conversations, and shared experiences — but equally important are the quiet moments in between. The pauses. The stillness. The exhale. The deepest transformation happens not when we are trying to become something, but when we finally allow ourselves to simply be. The retreat begins with a traditional Balinese opening ceremony guided by a local village mangku (priest), honouring the spirits of the land and inviting harmony, protection, and blessings for our time together. Rooted in ancient Balinese wisdom, this sacred ceremony offers a beautiful way to enter the retreat space with reverence, presence, and intention. Each day begins and ends with practices designed to bring the body, breath, and mind back into harmony. These techniques are passed down within the Sri Vidya Lineage of Traditional Yoga designed to guide us back to union with the self, back to the Truth. Afternoons will vary depending on weather and how the day feels. Activities can include: Sound Baths: Using sound as a bridge into stillness and inner connection, these immersive sessions help calm the nervous system, quiet the mind, and support deep energetic rest. Allow yourself to simply lie back, receive, and journey inward through vibration, resonance, and frequency. Waterfall Hike: Journey through lush jungle pathways and panoramic views of the Jatiluwih rice terraces (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), we hike towards a secret waterfall nestled within the heart of Jatiluwih. More than just an adventure, this experience is an opportunity to reconnect with the raw beauty and living presence of the Earth — breathing deeply, grounding fully, and remembering simplicity. Estate Nature Treks: Wander through vibrant gardens, forests, and living landscapes surrounding the retreat estate. These treks invite a slower way of relating with nature — observing, listening, and experiencing the intelligence and vitality of the land with greater presence and awareness. Balinese Water Purification Ceremony (on one of the days): Melukat is a traditional Balinese water purification ritual used to cleanse the body, mind, and spirit. Guided gently through this sacred experience, we enter the waters with prayer and intention — releasing what no longer serves and creating space for renewal, clarity, and inner balance. Evenings will be reserved for deep connection over dinner and early nights. One of the greatest medicines is space. Throughout the retreat, there will be ample time to rest, integrate, reflect, and connect organically with like-hearted souls. Whether through shared conversations, quiet moments in nature, or simply being together in presence, these connections often become one of the most meaningful parts of the journey.
