Awaken Your Mind, Body, and Soul

Your heart races with anticipation as you step into the unknown. Guided by an enchanting pathway through dense jungle vegetation, the gentle ripples of water fountains and the captivating scents of frangipani flowers and aromatic oils fill the air.

Emerging from this jungle-like trek, you’re immediately awestruck, transported to a bygone era 5000 years ago. Surrounded by breathtaking views of lush countryside and emerald green rice fields, the majestic Pyramids of Chi stand before you, emanating profound healing energy.

Upon entering the Pyramids of Chi, the vibrational frequency pulsates through your body like electricity, a tangible sensation. As you settle on your mat and pillow, you’re captivated by the powerful ancient instruments, such as gongs, didgeridoos, pow pow drums, and Tibetan bowls, which accompany your transformative sound healing journey. The energy created by these mystical instruments clears mental and emotional blockages, reconnects you to yourself, and unveils a profound inner peace like never before! Ahhhhhhhmazing right? 

Are you ready to embrace the magic of Bali and unlock the power of self-healing? If you answered yes to this question then join us for an unforgettable experience of a lifetime because…YOU deserve it, and I will be with you every step of the way embracing this journey with you!

Travel Faqs

I remember my first international flight, and I was a bit nervous too but really excited also. Before we leave for Bali we will have our new community of friends in a private Facebook group, so everyone can get to know each other, before the retreat even begins. With our private Facebook group, there may be opportunities  to coordinate flights with one another, so you may be able to fly with one or more gal pal.

You will spend 9 glorious nights at the enchanting Boutique Haven Resort. Each day will be a new experience/ceremony/activity along with some healing workshops sprinkled throughout. I feel the itinerary I’ve created for us will be the perfect balance of activities and personal time.

A $500 deposit is required at time of registration/booking.
Deposits are refundable until 120 days before departure, December 26, 2023.

Less than 120 days (December 27, 2023) before departure, deposits are 100% non refundable. Any cancellation made between: December 27, 2023 and the trip departure April 26, 2024 will result in a total loss of funds.

Absolutely! We have private airport transfers to the resort on April 26, 2024 and back to the airport on May 5, 2024.

The rupiah is the currency of Indonesia or IDR. We will be able to exchange a minimal amount at the airport on arrival but we will get a better rate when we get to the resort. Most of the shops and restaurants accept credit cards but there will be some that only accept cash. Tipping isn’t mandatory but always appreciated. If you aim for around $50 USD a day that will be more than enough for all your little extras.

For sure, our restaurant at our resort can accommodate all dietary restrictions, including gluten free, vegetarian, vegan, and other requests. There will also be many food options available when we dine a few times in Ubud’s city centre.

Bail is extremely safe. Balinese people are the warmest and most welcoming people. Traveling here is like stepping into an amazing new world. I was told to “arrive with an open mind, a friendly heart, patience, your sense of humour, and a spirit of adventure. Bali will do the rest.” Ohhh I like that.

April and May are a couple of the best months to be in Bali, with an average high of 83°F (29°C) and a low of 77°F (25°C), and this time of year is generally not overly crowded.
