Bali Retreat
TRANSCENDENCE
October 6-12, 2025
Dear Seeker,
I invite you to embark on a journey like no other—a sacred pilgrimage to the heart of your own being. Transcendence is more than a retreat; it is a portal to deep renewal, a space where the noise of the world fades and your true essence shines.
Nestled in the breathtaking landscapes of Bali, this retreat is designed with intention and devotion. Each day is woven with practices to nourish your soul—meditation and yoga to start your day, breathwork to soothe your nervous system, sound healing and reiki to restore harmony and sacred rituals to deepen your connection to self. You will be held in a space of care, receiving healing bodywork, indulging in soothing spa treatments, and immersing in Bali’s natural beauty, allowing you to soften, release, and realign.
I will be your guide on this transformative path, holding space for you to journey inward with love and intention. Whether you seek healing, clarity, or simply a pause from the world, Transcendence offers a sanctuary for you to return to yourself. By the time we part ways, you will not only feel restored—you will carry home a renewed sense of purpose, radiance, and connection to the divine within. This is your time. Your invitation to step into something deeper. Will you answer the call?
With love,
Ayres

Our Food
On our retreat in Bali, food is not just sustenance; it's a fundamental aspect of our philosophy and values. We believe that clean, plant-based, wholesome food is not only nourishing but also serves as medicine for the body and soul. With this in mind, we prioritize sourcing the freshest, most nutrient-rich ingredients available, cultivated from our very own farm on-site embodying the principles of organic farming and sustainability. Whether you choose to follow a plant-based diet or incorporate sustainably sourced seafood into your meals, you can rest assured that each dish is thoughtfully crafted to honor the integrity of the ingredients and to enjoy food that is not only delicious but also honors our commitment to sustainability, community, and holistic wellness. At our retreat, you'll experience a culinary journey rooted in the Balinese ethos of preparing food that is simple, honest and clean.
