Ubud / March 2027
Sacred Stillness: Deep Into Bali
Follow the call of the island to a spiritual sanctuary in the heart of Ubud. Reconnect with your spirit through ritual, sacred water ceremonies, and the healing energy of the lush Balinese jungle. This retreat takes place over Balinese New Year, the most mystical time of year.Â
Sacred Bali Itinerary: March 4–11, 2027
Day 01 — March 4
Arrival & Opening Ceremony
Arrive in the spiritual heart of Bali. As the sun sets, we gather in our jungle sanctuary for an opening circle and protection ceremony with the village priestess. A traditional Balinese welcome dinner follows.
Day 02 — March 5
Morning Flow & Cooking ClassÂ
After morning practice, we head to the open air kitchen to learn the spices, herbs, and stories behind Balinese cuisine, then prepare a colorful feast together. As the sun sets, we gather for cocktails or mocktails at an infinity pool overlooking the jungle, swimming and savoring the view.Â
Day 03 — March 6
Water Temple Purification & Afternoon Yin
We begin the day with an early visit to a nearby water temple for a traditional purification ceremony, cleansing body and mind in sacred spring waters. In the afternoon, we return to our yoga sanctuary for a slow, grounding yin practice to integrate the experience.
Day 04 — March 7
Monkey Forest, Waterfall & Ogoh Ogoh Parade
At first light we head into the sacred Monkey Forest, wandering beneath towering trees and playful macaques. From there, we travel to a giant waterfall for time to swim, soak and simply be held by the power of the water. After a rest back at our retreat center, we return to town in the evening to witness the vibrant Ogoh Ogoh parade welcoming Balinese New Year.
Day 05 — March 8
Nyepi: Silent Day of Stillness
Today the entire island goes quiet. No cars, no shops, no lights—just stillness. We honor Nyepi with a day of deep rest, gentle self-practice, journaling, and quiet reflection, letting the silence reset our nervous systems and invite a profound inner calm.
Day 06 — March 9
Yoga, Whitewater Rafting & Evening Dance
We start with a steady morning practice to wake up the body, then head out for an exhilarating whitewater rafting adventure through Bali’s lush river valleys. In the evening, you have the option to join a traditional Balinese dance performance in town, soaking in music, movement and culture under the night sky.
Day 07 — March 10
Yoga & Your Choice of Adventure
We begin with a steady morning practice to ground and energize you, then the rest of the day is yours to choose your own adventure: sink into a full spa day, take a beach trip to the coast, wander Ubud’s shops and cafes, or visit another temple for a second water purification. We’ll help you plan the option that feels best for your body and spirit.
Day 08 — March 11
Morning Yoga & Closing Ceremony
We conclude our journey with a gentle morning practice followed by a heartfelt closing ceremony led by a local village priestess. We gather to honor our time together and set intentions as we prepare for departure, carrying the sacred stillness of Bali within us.
