Today goes a little deeper into Balinese healing. Before the day really begins, you prepare for a Melukat ceremony at a sacred water temple. You’ll wear traditional clothing—a sarong, sash, and kebaya—and travel quietly through the early morning toward a natural spring that has been used for purification for generations.

At the temple, a local priest guides you into the water. It’s cool and clear, flowing steadily from stone spouts fed by the spring. One by one, you move beneath them. With each stream of water, there are simple prayers and moments of pause. Nothing dramatic. Just presence. Many women notice a shift afterward. A lightness. As if something heavy has finally been set down.

Later in the day, you experience your first Balinese healing massage. It’s different from what most people are used to. The touch works with energy lines as much as muscles, using slow, grounded movements and warm oils scented with frangipani and sandalwood. The session ends with a Boreh treatment—a warm paste made from turmeric and ginger applied to the body. It helps with circulation and leaves you feeling deeply relaxed and grounded.

In the evening, there’s a quiet meditation focused on gratitude and letting go. It’s a chance to sit with everything the day stirred up and allow it to settle. By night, many people feel both tired and peaceful, like something important has shifted beneath the surface.

This is often the day people talk about long after they’ve gone home. The morning starts with yoga that gently opens the chest and hips. Nothing extreme. Just slow movements that invite softness, especially in places where we tend to hold things in.

Later, you’re guided into a breathwork session. It happens in a calm, supportive space, with a facilitator who stays present the whole time. The breathing is steady and intentional, and it has a way of bringing things up. Sometimes it’s sadness you didn’t realize was still there. Sometimes anger. Sometimes just emotion moving through without a clear reason. Whatever shows up is okay. There’s no need to explain it or control it. You’re held through the process.

Afterward, the day opens up. You might feel like writing, or walking quietly through the rice fields. You might just want to rest. Many people nap, letting their bodies recover after the emotional release. There’s no schedule to follow here. You listen to what you need.

In the evening, everyone comes together for a sound healing session. Bowls, gongs, and traditional instruments fill the space with deep, steady vibrations. You lie down and let the sound move through you. It’s subtle, but powerful. Like something inside is being gently rearranged, without words, without effort.

Some days don’t need to be intense to be meaningful. Today is about slowing down and letting beauty do some of the work for you.

The morning begins with a gentle walk through the rice fields. Farmers are already out, moving at an unhurried pace, working the land the same way it’s been done for generations. Your guide shares how the subak system works—how water is shared cooperatively, and how farming here is tied to balance between people, nature, and spirit. It’s simple, practical, and quietly moving.

You’ll also visit a local temple where daily offerings are still part of everyday life. Flowers, incense, small gestures of care. Nothing performative. Just devotion woven into routine. If you feel drawn to it, you can make an offering yourself and receive a blessing from the priest. If not, you’re welcome to just observe and take it in.

In the afternoon, you choose what feels right. Some people meet privately with a traditional healer for energy work or guidance. Others opt for a four-hands massage, where two therapists move together in steady rhythm. Or you might choose a flower bath, floating quietly in warm water covered in tropical petals, with a gentle scalp massage to finish. There’s no right choice. Just what your body and mood are asking for.

As evening comes, there’s a private ceremony at the retreat’s small temple. Candles are lit. The air feels still. A local priest offers prayers for protection and continued ease on your path. It’s a quiet ending to the day. Grounded. Soft. The kind that stays with you without needing to be explained.

You’re not the same person who arrived a few days ago. Something has shifted, even if you can’t fully name it yet. Today is about noticing that change and getting ready to take it back with you.

The morning starts with a women’s circle. Everyone gathers, and people share what’s come up for them over the past days. It’s honest and unfiltered. Some stories are tender. Some are funny. Some come out through tears. Being seen and heard by other women who’ve walked alongside you this week carries a kind of strength that’s hard to describe.

After that, there’s time for guided journaling. You’re given simple prompts to help you put words to what you’re letting go of, and what you want to invite in. You might write to who you were before you came, to who you’re becoming, or to the future version of yourself. It’s less about writing something perfect and more about letting truth land on the page.

In the afternoon, yoga becomes more active. There’s movement, heat, and strength. You feel your body working, supporting you, holding you up. It’s a physical reminder that you have more power than you often give yourself credit for.

As evening arrives, the day closes with a cacao ceremony. You sip warm, ceremonial cacao and sit with your intentions for life back home. How you want to feel. What you want to protect. What you don’t want to slip back into. It’s a quiet, reflective space. Not about promises, but about awareness. About remembering what this peace feels like, even when the world gets loud again.

The last morning in Ubud feels tender. There’s a bit of sadness knowing this chapter is ending, and at the same time, a quiet excitement about going back to your life with a different way of seeing it.

Everyone comes together once more for a closing circle. Gratitude is shared. Hugs linger. Contact details are exchanged. There’s a sense of wanting to carry this connection forward, and many women do. The bonds formed here don’t always end when the retreat does. They often continue, offering support through whatever comes next.

Before you leave, you’re given a wellness plan created just for you. Nothing overwhelming. Just clear, practical guidance. Yoga poses that suit your body. Breathing practices to help steady your emotions. Simple food suggestions to support how you want to feel. A few ways to stay connected to your inner life once you’re home.

The retreat ends quietly, with one last meditation in the garden. You sit with the stillness you’ve built over the week. You take a breath. And you make a gentle commitment to yourself—to keep listening, to keep caring, and to honor the woman you’ve become here.

Nearly 80% of our participants come solo. In fact, many women specifically choose to travel alone as part of their healing journey—it's a powerful act of self-love and courage.

From the moment you arrive, you're welcomed into a community of women on similar paths. The intimate group size (maximum 12 women) ensures you'll form genuine connections, not superficial acquaintances.

You don't need to identify as spiritual to benefit from this retreat. The Balinese healing practices we incorporate are effective whether you approach them with religious devotion, spiritual curiosity, or simple openness to new experiences.

We honor all belief systems and make space for skepticism alongside faith. What matters is your willingness to be present to your own experience.

You need to be comfortable with gentle to moderate physical activity: walking on uneven terrain through rice fields, standing for ceremony participation (usually 30-45 minutes), and practicing gentle yoga suitable for most bodies.

If you have mobility limitations or health concerns, let us know. We're experienced at making accommodations so everyone can fully participate.

We offer double-occupancy villa options for friends or family members attending together. Contact us for pricing on shared accommodation.

We provide complimentary airport transfers. Simply share your flight details, and our driver will be waiting with a sign bearing your name. The drive to Ubud takes approximately 90 minutes and offers your first glimpse of Balinese countryside.

Our chefs are passionate about creating meals that nourish both body and soul. You'll eat better than at most restaurants—fresh, flavorful, beautifully presented dishes that happen to be healthy.

Previous participants consistently rate the food as a retreat highlight. Many leave with recipe requests and a new relationship with how food can be both healing and delicious.
