Bali Retreat + tourism
Relax and allow Bali to root you back into your essence with a spiritually curated retreat for couples, partners, friends, or family. Let the adventure begin! Join Jamie Butler & Dr. Sarah Wilde as they host an eight-day adventure in northern Bali, at the Mahalani, with an option of a five-day extension in the heart of Bali, Ubud. The eight-day retreat, Embodiment of Energy, June 9-17, is for those who want to learn more about the energy that runs through them. Through movement, meditation, and educational classes you will be guided to connect to your inner life force. Our group will adventure out to see some of the sacred sites known throughout Bali. Swim in waterfalls, hike volcanoes, attend ceremonies, enjoy spa treatments, and bond over delicious native meals. Stay in a beach front villa on the Northern coast of Bali. Wake up to the sunrise, enjoy a swim in the ocean or one of the pools to start the day. Embodiment of Energy is geared toward learners of all levels. Take the work deeper or simply be in the place of beginning your journey with energy.
Spiritual Tourism, June 18-22, 2023, is independent of the Embodiment of Energy Retreat. Choose to come to both or pick one that resonates with you. This shorter retreat, in Ubud, is full of temples, amazing food, shopping and monkeys. Ubud is the cultural heartland of Bali and provides insight into the magical Balinese way of life. Feel the pulse of Bali for yourself.

- For the ‘Embodiment of Energy’ Retreat (in Packages ‘A’ and ‘C’): Limited villas are available for independent or single use. Most villas are Queen and King bedroom suites, so booking with a partner, family, friends or as a couple is preferred as bed-sharing may be your only option. Suites will be booked on a first-come, first-serve basis.
- For the ‘Embodiment of Energy’ Retreat (in Packages ‘A’ and ‘C’): Spa services such as traditional Balinese massage embraces physical empowerment, celebrating all shapes and sizes. Minimal draping is used to cover the important bits, however the open air treatment tables do leave little room for discrimination. If you are more modest, use of scarves and saris are encouraged.
- Suggested packing lists and scheduled travel arrangements will be sent by email 30 days prior to your departure date. At this time, we can offer the following information: Bali is a humid, tropical environment with daytime highs of 88°F / 31°C and nighttime lows of 72°F / 22 °C.
