Bali’s magnetic qualities have drawn people here for centuries. It is an abundant + sacred atmosphere with a colorful + devotional culture. Bali is energetically rich, ecologically and geographically, diverse landscape, and warm, welcoming people.
This verdant island has been such a heart home for me for the last several years. Here, I have learned a gentler way of being with myself + in the world, the important path of self-love + self-care, and a sense of home, a place I know I can anchor in to NOURISH.
…..This, is what I want to share YOU. How we have the ability to reflect the abundance of a place into nurturing and nourishment towards ourselves. It will be a delicious adventure!
As I could find no possible way to show you the creme de la creme of this island in only 7 days, the journey will be a beautifully curated 11 days/10 nights. We will go between the the jungles of Ubud and the beaches of the Bukit Peninsula immersing ourselves in healing practices, cultural experiences, and self + community explorations.
Some of the goodness to come:
Daily Yoga/Meditation, Breathwork, Ecstatic + Balinese Dance, Cooking Class, Water Purification Ritual, Balinese Massage, Cacao Ceremony, Beaches, Rice Fields, Delicious Plant-Based Cuisine, plenty of time for Self-Reflection + Relaxation, as well as commUnity.
UBUD:
Ubud translates as ‘medicine’ — and it truly lives up to its name as Bali’s spiritual, cultural, and creative heart. As one of the great healing centers of the world, it makes the perfect setting for deep dive rejuvenation.
The first 6 nights of our journey we will be nestled up to the beautifully landscaped rice fields at Ubud’s much loved retreat center, Villa Gaia.
It is steeped in old world Balinese charm with a refreshing open-air plan of 8 bedrooms. There is a private garden, hot tub, infrared sauna, massage room, open air dining, and a saltwater infinity pool with panoramic views of the rice paddy fields.

ULUWATU:
For our next 4 nights we will head to the salt-aired south to meet the ocean.
On the edge of the island, Uluwatu is known for its breathtaking cliffs + vistas, world-class waves, sandy beaches, and heritage temples.
We will get all nice + cozy at our eco-inspired luxury estate hidden away in the clifftops and palms. It features traditional Javanese Joglo houses crafted out of reclaimed teak wood. The architectural design embraces the tropical lifestyle, overlooks the pool and expansive garden, and is a 6 minute walk to Bingin Beach.
