Mystical Bali & Beyond Retreat
RETREAT DETAILS
Join Laura and Jasmine in sacred flow as this mystical journey unfolds on the magical island of Bali and continues on to hidden gem Sumbawa.
As we journey through the beautiful lands of Bali and Sumbawa, the adventure becomes the classroom, providing an experience of the ancient elemental wisdom that allows recognition of the infinite connection to the Oneness within. Our program of yoga, Ayurveda, fresh island foods, community, adventure, massages, self-care practices, and the message of radical self-acceptance, love, and awakening will be the platform for our sacred flow. Our outer journey acts as a sacred mirror for our inner journey.
Our sanctuary for the first four and a half days of our journey will be a secluded, private, eco-luxury retreat center set in a small traditional Balinese village amongst verdant rice fields. Nestled between Sukawati and Pantai Purnama on the eastern shore of Bali puts us far from traffic, pollution and the crowds of tourists. It is the perfect setting to nourish, recharge and heal mind, body, and spirit. Our classes will take place in the beautiful open-air Yoga Sanctuary with views of the Indian Ocean and Mount Agung Volcano. We will have use of the Healing Pool and on-site Balinese spa. The grounds also feature an organic permaculture garden, two Balinese Temples, numerous private meditation areas, koi ponds, as well as an open kitchen where our private chef will prepare our meals, juices, and snacks with locally grown organic
We will then venture on to hidden island gem Sumbawa where our backdrop for the next four nights will be untouched natural landscape boasting long, pristine white sandy bays, lush green forests and stunning views of uninhabited islands and breath-taking sunsets, with Lombok’s Mount Rinjani as a background. We will relax into Being on a beachfront property situated on a spacious coconut plantation located in Kertasari area, on the west coast of Sumbawa. We will explore hidden secret beaches and waterfalls. We will experience the culture of welcoming, happy local Indonesian people in their nearby traditional fishing village. We will be steps away from empty world-class beaches and waves that work all year round.
We will return to Bali where we will spend our final evening together in Uluwatu on Bali’s Bukit Peninsula. Uluwatu is a hilly limestone region with stunning views of towering cliffs, the Indian Ocean, and magnificent sunsets. The cliff-lined coastline is home to hidden beaches and world-class surf breaks.
Throughout the retreat, private chefs will nourish us with delicious Ayurvedic inspired plant-based meals. Wholesome, fresh and local ingredients will be used. Our private chefs will return to simple and natural home cooking, which in its unadulterated form is very nutritious and healthy.
