"These times are urgent,
let us slow down."
Bayo Akomolafe
Amidst the clamor of a world that never stops shouting for our attention, choosing the whisper to your own spirit is a revolutionary act.
This week has been curated to shift your responsiveness back towards your inner voice. To gently detangle and tend to places of friction, in a slow softening that gives way to what has been waiting to be heard. There are so many sensations to meet within your diverse interior cartography, the arrival back to allyship and the sovereign self will be a soulful soiree.
Held in the lush warmth of Bali’s cocoon, we will steer clear from crowds and absorb the nectar that flows from ease, simplicity + reciprocity.
We will gently pull the threads that invite it all to untangle. To receive & welcome your own unraveling. Can you soften a bit more? Exhale a deeper breath? Melt one drip drop at a time into the ever-unfolding field of possibility….
This experience is not about the hustle and bustle of Bali's vibrant street life or the endless rush to capture every moment (though we encourage you to take additional time for that!) Instead, we are inviting you to turn inward, embracing a pace that allows for reflection and stillness.
Here, amidst the serene and lush landscapes, we seek to quiet the mind, open the heart, and nurture the spirit. By fostering an environment of introspection, we create space for deeper connections with ourselves and our community. A doing, by not doing.
This retreat is designed for anyone seeking a pause from the demands of everyday life, regardless of their yoga experience. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a complete beginner, this journey offers a welcoming space for all.
Ideal for individuals looking to reconnect with themselves, strengthen their mindfulness practice, or simply escape the rigors of daily routines, participants will find that the movement sessions are gentle, accessible, and nurturing. We will focus on soothing slow flows, and yinny-style practices, suited for big exhales.
It's a perfect opportunity for those wishing to cultivate a deeper sense of ease, enhance their well-being, and engage with a like-minded community, all while being enveloped in Bali’s devotion and warmth.
Batukaru Coffee ESTATE
Nestled on the south easterly slopes of Mount Batukaru, is the organic coffee estate, biodynamic farm & retreat center. Surrounded by protected jungle, our home for the week is the ideal place to escape from the hustle, reconnect with nature and savor the breathtaking views and magic of Bali.
Batukaru is worshiped by the Balinese and is home to Pura Luhur Batukaru, on of the nine directional temples in Bali. The large crater, with an opening at the southern end, allows river Mawa to flow, hence its name “Batukaru”, which means “coconut shell” in Balinese.
