-Krishnamurti
Bali Retreat Program
When you travel with us at Wake Up in Bali, beyond conventional borders, you’ll discover ways to celebrate life and continue the journey into your own heart. This Unique Bali retreat is not only enchanting, but also soulful. In our continual quest for wholeness, we will discover new energy and creativity born from conversation, caring, and compassion. Our Bali retreat is one of a kind. We may not call this a spa wellness retreat retreat, but it trully is. It will enrich your life. Together we’re going places, together things are possible.
A sample of our Experiences
- Evening of traditional "Kekak" dance and Fire walking ceremony in the village temple.

Reflections
 Every morning we’ll gather for a one- hour presentation we call Reflections, and an informal sharing time over dinner to add depth to our experience together.
Reflections will be addressing how you can live a life of serenity, passion, and joy. Reflections are designed to wake us up to higher consciousness. You’ll be presented lifestyle tools and thought capsules that will enrich your life and force the roots of our soul even deeper. We encourage journaling and naps; we realize there is a need for personal time.
We’ll have our morning Reflections al fresco (weather permitting) in unique natural spaces and patios. Reflections will enliven your flow of energy and transform the way you think about yourself. We’ll be talking about inner independence and how we can close the gap between who we are and who we want to be. Another morning we'll host a breakfast invitation to some of my Balinese friends for creative dialogue around culture and life in Bali.
Accommodations
 We take great care to provide a safe, comfortable Balinese- style lodging in places of striking natural beauty. We discovered that too much moving around is exhausting. Our philosophy is that – it’s not about moving around, it’s about moving In. We’ll be at the first hotel for six nights and the second one for three nights.
Our main lodging will be nestled in the exotic village of Ubud, the setting for the book Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. This village is full of real Balinese away from the hustle of big city neon, a perfect place for a Bali reatreat. We’ll find wonderful dining experiences, shopping, and cultural events in Ubud.
All our accommodations are hand selected, with delightfully friendly service, swimming pools, connected natural pathways, and tropical Balinese architecture. We never stay in typical American type hotels and your room is more bungalow/villa like. We have several of these special boutique hotels that are our favorites, but all our hotels are full of photographic charm and truly Balinese by nature.
In the Yaya spirit, we encourage double occupancy and will gladly connect you with a potential roommate before the trip. If you'd like your own room, that’s OK too.
