RETREAT ON BALI ISLAND March 11th - 22nd, 2022

This trip is both a spiritual experience and an adventure. We give you access to places that are so sacred to the locals that often foreigners are restricted from entering them. You will have the opportunity to meet spiritual teachers that are not easy to find. During the trip, there are daily meditations and practices, days of silence, and the option for additional therapies: crystal healing, Tibetan singing bowl meditation, gua sha massage, acupressure, TFT (Thought Field Therapy), and matrix reordering. At the same time, we give you the chance to visit all that is worth seeing and experiencing on Bali, meet local people, and immerse yourself in their way of life. During the trip, we also visit other Indonesian islands close to Bali - Gili Air, Lombok, Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Penida, where we usually stay for several days to immerse ourselves in the timelessness of the locals, turn inward, and take care of our bodies. Every time we choose a different destination. Travel to the neighboring islands is by boat, with the main luggage staying in Bali, and we only take a small backpack with us.

When possible and depending on the program, we organize additional excursions to sacred places, temples, waterfalls, or do trekking, snorkeling, and swimming with sea turtles. Sometimes we are silent. Sometimes we stay in the dark. Sometimes we celebrate with the locals. Every time is different. Every group is different. We always do something new and try to improve. Often the dates of the trip coincide with the Balinese New Year, which is very different from the one celebrated worldwide. We participate in the Ogo Ogo festival, which for the locals symbolizes the victory of light over evil forces, and the next day we immerse ourselves in silence along with the entire island.
