BALI LIFE-CHANGING RETREAT
12-23 APRIL / 2025
BALI & GILI ISLANDS
(11 nights / 12 days)
Join us in a transformational healing ceremony,
enjoy deep meditation, and dive into the secret world of Bali.
Bali is mainly known as the Land of the Gods. It is a place of aesthetic and physical beauty. The architecture and the landscape are reflected in the Balinese who live there, in their art, music, and culture, which form an integral part of their lives. The mountains and the ocean represent positive and negative energies or the yin & yang, maintaining a perfect balance and harmony with the land.
This journey is an introduction to Bali's deeper, spiritual, and healing aspects. This is where the people not only have a strong relationship with the land, each other, and the divine but giving thanks to the Divine is part of their everyday life.
You will have the opportunity to meet with healers and experience personal healing sessions; participate in a deep ceremony and practice meditations; have visits to sacred temples; connect with local artists, swim at the best beaches of the Island; have massages and spa treatments; visit markets and purchase arts and crafts; and enjoy the richness and traditions of a land steeped in an ancient and mystical culture. If one comes with an open heart and mind, anyone with any sensitivity who comes to Bali will experience its healing energy and come away from it completely changed.
After 17 years of living on this beautiful Island, we wish to make your trip a unique experience outside the usual tourist zones. The retreat is available for individuals and couples. We work with a size of max.14 people to be able to give the best attention to everyone. For this reason, before applying, we will require a personal interview with you. This helps us connect to your energies and study if the retreat fits you. It also guides us on how to make your journey safer and deeper.
Overview

YOGA / MEDITATION / HEALING CEREMONY
Daily yoga or meditation sessions will be offered to discipline your body & mind. You will learn breathing techniques, participate in OM healing, and have guidance to discover the power of your abilities. The sessions are open from beginners to more advanced souls. Your guide in the session will be an experienced local yogi & healer. The sacred ceremony will take place in a beautiful environment, and you will be provided with all the necessary information to be well-prepared for the event.











Accommodation
Your authentic luxury villa resort is located in a magical town called Ubud, the cultural capital of Bali. It is the perfect escape to enjoy luxury and relaxation. The resort perfectly melts into a tropical garden & lush rice field surroundings. At night, the sound of frogs and crickets emerge from the rice paddies. It is 5-10 minutes from the center of Ubud.
Each room is luxurious, spacious, and built using natural materials, including wood, bamboo, and stone walls. All rooms have fans, hot water, a king-size bed, a mosquito net, a private bathroom, and an AC. The accommodation features a restaurant, pool, yoga deck, rice field views, tropical garden, housekeeping, laundry service, room service, free Wi-Fi, and Complimentary Fresh Bali Spring Water.
At Gili Island, your room will be nestled near the beach in a haven of tranquility and natural beauty. The hotel or villa has easy access to the crystal-clear waters of the Island. Whether you're a sunseeker, water sports enthusiast, or simply looking to unwind by the sea, this location is a dream come true.









Location
Ubud (25 kilometers from the airport and 16 kilometers from Denpasar) is set amid jungle ravines and greeny emerald foothills, and it has long been the center of Bali’s artisanal traditions and spiritual life. The town is no longer the peaceful hippie village it once was, but the wellness scene here is booming. Yoga schools, meditation centers, and raw and vegan cuisine abound. If the town center is too busy for you, tranquil nature and temples are all nearby.
Regarded as Bali’s cultural capital, it is famous for its paintings and is filled with art galleries and craft shops. You can see traditional dancing, take meditation classes, and eat at excellent restaurants.
Several galleries, temples, shops, museums, and bookstores are along the long and often steep main road. Steeped in culture and enhanced by magnificent vistas, Ubud is a cosmopolitan community that pampers visitors in body and soul. Fine dining restaurants and spas delight and relax the senses. A walk through the lush paddy fields, watching colorful processions of women gracefully balancing piles of fruit offerings on their way to the temple, leaves a lasting impression. The best way to observe Bali’s traditions and culture is through mingling with the locals and watching their daily routines. In and around Ubud, you can visit the temples and villages that have remained relatively unchanged. The town is also home to local priests and healers.
Picture yourself in a utopia where swaying palm trees provide the perfect shade, and each step on the powdery white sand feels like a gentle massage. Gili Trawangan offers an idyllic setting for relaxation and rejuvenation. You can dive into a mesmerizing world beneath the surface. The island boasts vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life. Snorkeling and diving enthusiasts will find themselves in awe of the kaleidoscope of colors and diverse sea creatures.
In the evenings, unwind as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink. Gili Trawangan is renowned for its spectacular sunsets, providing the perfect backdrop for romantic moments or a tranquil evening stroll. You will enjoy exploring the charming beachside cafes, vibrant night markets, and lively bars that add to the island's unique and eclectic charm.
This small Island is a Car-Fee Paradise: Embrace a leisurely pace of life with no motorized vehicles. Navigate the island by bicycle or horse-drawn carriage, immersing yourself in a peaceful and eco-friendly environment. You will indulge in the magic of Gili Trawangan – where serenity meets adventure, and each moment is a postcard-worthy memory. Plan your escape to this tropical paradise now!"

The most beautiful time to visit Bali is March/April, as the whole Island is blooming after the rainy season ends; also, you will experience fewer tourists than usual.
WEATHER



The eating scene is dominated by health cafes, focusing on Indonesian recipes using local organic ingredients. Please note that the local food is quite spicy. Please notify us if you have any allergies or food preferences or do not support spicy food.

Car & scooter rental: if you wish to explore independently, we can arrange a car or scooter. Due to high afternoon traffic, we suggest to rent a scooter (approx. 5 EUR / day). If you are uncomfortable driving a scooter, there are plenty of options to arrange a cheap or a moto-taxi on-site. Even if you are an experienced scooter driver, please only go inside the Ubud area, as the traffic and rules in Indonesia are chaotic.
