Inner journey in Bali Divine retreats and vital energy

There are trips that change you, and journeys that change you deeply. These are trips that manage to touch your soul, help you reconnect with yourself so you can open up more fully to your loved ones. They provide remedies for the body's ailments - yoga, massages, fitness, swimming, walks. For ailments of the soul as well, drawing on the wisdom of local spiritual figures - temple guardians, healers, high priests. After these getaways, you return a little more at peace with yourself and with the world. This was the reasoning behind this two-part trip, for which we naturally turned to one of the most inspiring islands there is: Bali. How could you not connect these inner journeys to this sacred land, where living Hindu traditions beautifully support every personal path of energy and renewal? You first head to Uluwatu,in the south of the Bukit Peninsula, where dreamlike beaches unfurl beneath cliffs of breathtaking beauty. The sea views and the bracing sea air instantly transport you elsewhere, perfectly answering any desire for renewal perfectly. You then make a short hop towards , Ubud in the heart of the island. This is where Bali's artistic heart beats and much of its spiritual life finds expression. Joyfully immerse yourself in the intense green of the countryside, with its rice fields, and jungle, scattered with floral offerings. Landscapes of exquisite purity radiate an almost solemn serenity. In the morning, you may sometimes feel as if you are awakening for the first time, seeing nature in a new light. Cradled by the sound of the gamelan and mantras, with all five senses constantly awakened, you refocus on the present moment.
