Join Christy Linson and Roxanna Smith on this restorative retreat in Bali. Whether you are looking to get away from it all, be held in a nurturing space of healing, or you’d like to immerse in the rich Balinese culture and many natural wonders, this retreat is just the thing to nourish yourself: body, mind and soul. This intimate journey is limited to 8 participants.

Many unique experiences have been curated for you, including Balinese healing treatments, time with medicine elders, water temple ceremonies. There are gorgeous waterfall hikes just out the front door, daily opportunities for Yoga & Meditation, delicious meals beautifully prepared and lots of time to get pampered! We have our own private villa with a full staff, devoted to your comfort and enjoyment, complete with infinity pool and jungle Yoga Shala.

Our private villa is removed from the busy city of Ubud, but close enough for excursions to see artisan crafts, make purchases and have a meal.

“I have very few words to describe the magic of Bali, or the transformational power of traveling to this gentle country. We stay in a luxurious villa with multiple opportunities to nourish our bodies, minds and souls. The sheer natural beauty is restorative. The food is exceptional. The morning yoga is a spiritual and physical invitation. The staff that assists from the moment we arrive to the time of our departure is stellar. We stay in our own private villa, and the accommodations are breathtaking.

The entire time I was in Bali, I kept repeating out loud “Heaven on Earth” as each new vista unfolded before my eyes. The rice fields, the plumeria blossoms, the sounds from the jungle as I was lulled to sleep, the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, the waterfalls. I arrived a stressed out shell, I left transformed.

The people of Bali will welcome you with smiles and you will feel comfortable and at peace. Bali is a tropical paradise steeped in culturally rich traditions.  It’s a land known for its devotional ceremonies, kind people, and some of the world’s most pristine beaches. There is an attention to detail and an appreciation of beauty that speaks to the soul. Let me show you.” - Roxanna

TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS

  • As of September 2023, there are no Covid vaccine requirements for entry into Indonesia.

  • You must have a valid passport good at least 6 months beyond your arrival date.

  • There is a Visa requirement to enter Bali.  We will send you a link for the e-Visa and instructions.
