Join us for a 7 night retreat immersed in a deeply luxurious sanctuary nestled within the Balinese jungle… a space to walk yourself all the way home
This retreat is lovingly crafted to focus on returning to your WHOLE BEing; tending to your physical, mental, emotional and energetic terrain.
WHOLE BEing invites you to pause and place down all you carry, hold and organise. Free from constant decisions, responsibilities and the pressure to hold everything together, your nervous system finally has permission to soften. To gently peel back inherited stories, protective patterns and old conditioning until what remains is unmistakably YOU.
We have carefully and lovingly curated every aspect of this retreat. With catered meals, housekeeping, events and activities all taken care of, you won’t need to lift a finger.
Our days will honour both inner work and genuine rest. Mornings and evenings will reconnect you with your body and circadian biology. Afternoons will be woven with ceremony, playfulness and creativity, relaxation and exploration of the retreat grounds. Each experience gently invites another layer of you to come home.
The hum of the land that will hold us is exquisite. Dwa Chandra is in the Ubud area and part of the Kelebutan Campus, a women-led community venture. They work closely with their Balinese village neighbours, preserving the sacred river, jungle, rice fields and the peaceful essence of village life.
The natural location is the most remarkable part of the story. Following the established path below the villas is a private gorge where the river flows through three volcanic caves. On the other side are 9th-century UNESCO temple carvings and millennium-old meditation caves. Just a short walk away are Goa Gajah and The Moon of Pejeng, two of the most historic destinations in Bali.
The ground you are held on is ancient, royal land.
It’s like the land itself is saying,
“Come. Rest. I’ll hold you for a while.”
When the body softens and the mind becomes clear, we naturally begin hearing ourselves again. From that place, intuition strengthens, clarity returns, inspiration awakens and joy flows.
You are inherently whole. Beneath the roles, expectations and conditioning of everyday life exists the truest version of you, full of your unique, authentic frequency.
Coming home to yourself IS the medicine.
This retreat is intentionally capped at 12 participants. Keeping the group small allows us to truly know each person, offer individual attention, hold the energetics of the group with integrity and create the kind of environment where genuine rest, connection and transformation naturally unfold. You’ll be held, seen and supported throughout the entire journey.
Sometimes the deepest transformation comes simply from being given space to be held. If your whole being has been quietly whispering that it’s time to slow down and remember who you are beneath everything you’ve been carrying, we would love to have you here.

A Gentle Rhythm to Our Days
There is no rigid schedule here. Rather than filling every moment, we’ve intentionally created spaciousness. A gentle rhythm that supports your nervous system to soften, your heart to open, your body to settle and your being to remember.
Think silent mornings until after breakfast. It’s often in the silence, that space between the inhale and the exhale, that we remember and attune to our truest essence. It’s in the silence that the answers already living within us have the space to rise to the surface.
Sunrise
Optional 6:00–6:30am
Silent sunrise meditation or morning pages in the heritage shala, surrounded by 9th-century UNESCO temple carvings and millennia-old meditation caves.
Morning Movement
6:30–7:30am
Outdoor morning yoga or myofascial release to begin the day attuned to your body and your surroundings. Morning sunlight in the eyes helps regulate our circadian biology.
Breakfast
8:00–9:00am
Fresh, nourishing breakfast prepared onsite by private chefs, catering to all dietary requirements.
Spacious Mornings
9:00am–12:00pm
Each day offers something a little different.
One morning we’ll participate in a Melukat water blessing with a Balinese priest.
Another day we’ll learn from local Balinese women the beautiful process of preparing and making offerings to the 9th-century carvings in the river gorge.
Another day we’ll venture into Ubud for jewellery making.
The remaining mornings are intentionally spacious. Perhaps you’ll wander through the surrounding jungle or rice fields, swim in the pool, lie in the sunshine, curl up with a book, or simply exist.
Lunch
12:00–1:00pm
Shared nourishing lunch prepared onsite by private chefs.
Rest & Receiving
1:00–4:00pm
Throughout the week you’ll enjoy your one-hour massage, your private one-hour WATSU session with Erin, and your one-to-one Soul Flight message delivery experience with Hailey and Erin.
Our day in Ubud includes a magical long, late lunch at Merlin’s.
The remaining afternoons are yours; to integrate, journal, rest, swim, nap, soak up the sunshine or simply BE.
Evening Movement
5:00–6:00pm
Sunset yoga or myofascial release in the Bali Hai yoga shala, offering the perfect vantage point to watch the sun disappear below the horizon as your body naturally begins preparing for rest, hello melatonin!
Dinner
6:30–8:00pm
Shared family-style dinner.
Evenings
8:00–10:00pm
One evening we’ll gather around the fire for a beautiful release ceremony.
The evening before jewellery making you’ll be guided through a meditation to connect with your chosen stone and ring design.
Other evenings may include Yoga Nidra in the glass shala overlooking the river gorge, an inspirational movie night in the family room, meaningful conversation, or simply an early night, because sleep is always priority number one.
No two days will feel the same.
The rhythm is simply there to hold you. To create enough spaciousness for your body to soften, your nervous system to regulate and your intuition to naturally come forward. Because sometimes the most profound transformation doesn’t happen through doing more. It happens when we finally give ourselves permission to simply BE.

This is a retreat for those who are ready to slow down, exhale, reconnect with what truly matters to them, and remember the wisdom that has always lived within them… with plenty of play, joy and fun thrown in!
If something within you softens and exhales as you read these words, perhaps this is your invitation. If something within you activates when you read these words, perhaps this is your invitation.
When we attend an immersion like this, profound shifts can occur. We then take our shifts in perspective, our embodied learnings and our realisations back home and they become infused into our everyday life. Events like this can serve as a much needed circuit breaker, or activation, or re-set. You will receive exactly what you need and there will be transformation. You’ll return home with fresh energy and a deeper connection to self which will ripple through all areas and aspects of your life.
Everyone in our sphere benefits when we take time out for ourselves in this way.
This retreat is offered via application only to ensure it’s the right fit for everyone involved. If you’re feeling called to join us, we’d LOVE to hear from you.
