      About this trip

      Join Amanda Haas here at Soulshine for a unique culinary adventure as she helps you discover how what you eat can also impact how you feel. As someone who lives with chronic pain, Amanda will share the habits she has incorporated into her life that has allowed her to feel her best self. In a time that has pushed us to our limits, this retreat will help you feel alive again.


      “After experiencing the magic of Soulshine in person, I knew immediately it would be the perfect place to host my first Vibrant Life retreat.


      I wrote my book “The Vibrant Life” to share my learnings on a variety of topics I’ve studied to improve my personal well-being, including the importance of cooking and eating the right ingredients;  practicing yoga, meditation and breathwork; finding more time to spend in nature; prioritizing sleep; and understanding the importance of laughter and joy in our lives.   We’ll spend time exploring all of these topics during our week together.


      Sara and Michael Franti’s property in Bali is the perfect spot to unwind and focus on your own well-being for a week.  Nestled into the rice fields and tropical landscape of the island, their resort is the perfect home base for exploring Ubud and its surroundings.  Besides spending plenty of time enjoying the pool, gorgeous spa, live entertainment, and assortment of classes we’ll be offering throughout the week on property, you can explore the nature of Ubud and its surroundings. Outside of the field trips we’ve got planned, you can take a bike ride through the rice fields, hike the incredible volcano to watch the sunrise, river raft, or take a trip to the beach.

       

      I can’t wait to share this beautiful, vibrant place with all of you!”


      Amanda will host you for 7 nights and 8 days here at Soulshine Bali. You will also learn about Balinese culture, experience a purification ceremony, enjoy a Balinese massage and more. Hailey Lott who contributed to The Vibrant Life will be a guest host. Each morning we will start our mornings with meditation, breath work and gentle movement. All things that have supported Amanda on her journey of healing. 


      This week will be a transformative one, showing you that wellness is a holistic experience and that most importantly it can be fun.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Do It Need a visa to enter Indonesia?

      Yes, depending on your nationality you may need to apply for a visa in advance or you may be eligible for a VISA on arrival. Please check this link to verify your status: http://www.balitourismboard.org/immigration.html. 

      Make sure that you have a passport valid for at least 6 months from the arrival date or you will be turned away from your departing city. You must also have proof of a return ticket.  

      STAYING UNDER 30 DAYS: If you are staying under 30 days, you can enter at no cost.

      STAYING OVER 30 DAYS: If you want to stay over 30 days you must buy a Visa on Arrival for $35USD, then extend your visa before it expires on Day 30. This can be arranged at Soulshine or a local immigration agent.

      What airport do I fly into?

      Denpasar Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) is the international airpot you will be flying into. Remember you can lose up to two days with the time change and flight time, so double check your arrival date and retreat start date.


      How do I get to Soulshine from the airport?

      We can arrange private transportation for you. One of our trusted drivers will meet you with a Soulshine Bali sign and big welcome smile. Please contact us if you would like us to arrange this for you. If you are part of a retreat, check with your retreat leader if transportation to and from Soulshine Bali is included. If you have any questions regarding your arrival time and transportation availability, please send us an email at info@soulshinebali.com. It's a great idea to arrange transportation well in advance if you are arriving into Bali early in the morning (1-5am). 

      If you need assistance, a ride on a scooter or tour can be arranged.

      WHAT IS THE ELECTRICAL CURRENT/OUTLET IN BALI?

      Bali electricity runs at 220V.  Adapters will be necessary if you are bringing any electrical items. We use the European plug (two round pins). We have adaptors for you to borrow and all our rooms have at least one American adaptor to plug directly into. You can also borrow adaptors from reception once you arrive.

      We provide hairdryers in each room. Please do not bring your hairdyrer as it might blow.

      DO I NEED VACCINES?

      Traveling outside of you home country can expose you to bugs your body might not be used to. The odd case of "bali belly" (diarrhea) is not uncommon. Packing an anti-diarrheal can put you at ease. It's always nice to check in with your family doctor or local travel clinic if you need any information on vaccines or medications to bring with you. We've got some great pharmacies ("Apotek" in Indonesian) and an awesome health clinic nearby Soulshine Bali in case you need anything. 

      To enter Indonesia you need to have proof of Covid-19 vaccines.

      WHAT IS THE CURRENCY?

      The currency here is called Rupiah. You can bring your own currency over and convert it, or use ATM machines to withdraw Indonesian currency.  ATM withdrawal fees vary bank to bank, so make sure you check in with yours to get all the info. Many restaurants and stores take credit cards. Don't forget to let your bank or credit card company know you are traveling.

      WHAT WILL THE WEATHER BE LIKE AND WHAT SHOULD I PACK?

      Because we are located near the equator, Bali tends to have fairly stable weather with the ‘wet’ season occurring between November and March and the ‘dry’ season between May and September. The sun still shines bright during the wet season. It is generally always hot with temperatures hovering in the mid to high 80s and up. We recommend light clothing that breathes but can also protect you from the sun. Being near the equator, our sun is hot and can burn much faster than what you might be used to. Sleeves or a light jacket is also helpful in the evenings if you decide to take a scooter ride. We've got great natural bug spray and SPF 25 sunscreen, but don't forget to pack your own if you have your favorites.

      ARE THERE MOSQUITOS?

      Yes. We recommend bringing a mosquito repellent and applying it generously at dusk and dawn, when they this is the equivalent of their happy hour. There is organic repellent at reception for your use as well.

      Soulshine Bali
      1 review
      Soulshine is a boutique sound + wellness resort, located in the tropical paradise of Bali’s cultural hub, Ubud. Rooted in barefoot luxury and Rock & Roll, at Soulshine we believe it is just as important to connect to your heart on a yoga mat, as it is to let your soul soar on the dance floor, or spend time enjoying farm-to-table food grown right on location. We are a place of creativity where there is music and artwork around every corner. We want people to feel inspired to create, to express who they truly are and to be their best self

      This was a truly life changing experience for me. I was able to rest and reset, met some incredible people, ate the best food I've ever had in my life and experienced the beauty of the Balinese people and culture. I am eternally thankful and grateful for the opportunity to have attended this retreat at SolShine Bali and to Sunshine Zerda, QVLN and Sara Franti for making this happen. I will be back!
