Why join us?
It’s simple! Bali is the PERFECT environment to spend some much-needed time re-energizing and awakening new inspiration within yourself. We’ve been traveling to Bali for 15 years and this will be our SIXTH time taking a group on this fabulous trip; it's just that good! Everyone who has traveled here with us, says there is just something magical about this island and its people.
​
One of our main goals in offering this retreat is to create space for you to venture out and experience the powerful transformation of travel and immersion in the Balinese culture.​ Travel creates the opportunity to shift perspectives and open your heart. We all need (and deserve!) time to retreat and connect.

This is the ideal home base for our week together, as it is away from the hustle & bustle, yet just a short 10 minute walk into the heart of Ubud. The grounds feature a swimming pool, terraces, an open-air yoga shala, beautiful gardens, and large green spaces that are perfect for relaxation and reflection. Immerse yourself in the peace and tranquillity of this stunning location.
The traditional Balinese design of the property incorporates elements like bamboo, carved teak furniture, silks and batiks, statues, and water ponds/fountains. We will be surrounded by spectacular views of the lush garden, jungle valley, and terraced rice paddies. All rooms are hotel-style accommodations with in-room air conditioning and private ensuite bathrooms.

We will enjoy our breakfast in fellowship as a group each morning, seasoning our food with laughter, connection, and stories from our adventures. The remaining meals are open, allowing you to discover the delicious cuisine.
