Bali Retreat 2027 Life is Lived in the Pause

What this is

Not a vacation.
An initiation.

There are trips you take to escape. And then there are the ones that find you the ones you come back from more yourself than when you left.

This is seven days in Ubud, Bali with a small, intentional group of people who showed up because something inside them said it was time. Time to slow down. Time to breathe. Time to remember who they are underneath everything they've been carrying.

Whether you come with someone or come alone you'll leave belonging.

"Taking a pause makes me feel like I can handle anything."

Erin · El Salvador Retreat, 2026

Why Bali. Why April.

The island that holds
what words can't.

Late April is Bali at its most alive lush green rice terraces after the rains, quieter temples, and a quality of light that makes everything feel sacred. We chose this window intentionally.

🌿

Lush & Green

Late April brings the landscape to full life after the rains rice fields brilliant green, waterfalls running strong, the jungle dense and breathing.

🙏

Intimate Access

Fewer crowds at the sacred sites means more space for presence. Your melukat ceremony at Tirta Empul, your moment at Lempuyang yours, not a crowd's.

The experiences

Three days that will
stay with you forever.

Melukat at Tirta Empul

Bali's most sacred water purification ritual, performed at a temple spring that has flowed for over a thousand years. You enter the water. You set down what you've been carrying. You come out lighter. This is not a tourist attraction it is a ceremony, approached with intention and led by a local priest.

Pura Lempuyang The Gate of Heaven

A full day journeying to the eastern highlands of Bali to one of the island's nine directional temples. The iconic split gate frames Mount Agung in the distance. The climb is part of it. The silence at the top is part of it. This is the kind of place that rearranges something inside you.

Bali Swing at Tegallalang Rice Terraces

From past retreat guests

They came looking.
They left found.

Taking a pause makes me feel like I can handle anything. If you are on the fence about whether to do one of these retreats, I can whole heartedly say you have to go.

Erin · El Salvador Retreat, 2026

Nothing to do but yoga on the water. Hike. Sit in a hammock. Come back to breath.

Erin came to El Salvador and found what so many guests find that slowing down isn't losing time. It's getting it back.

My body, my mind, and my soul are grateful for the incredibly nourishing experience. Brooke is a thoughtful, trustworthy leader and gifted guide. Saying yes to the retreat was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Cara · Costa Rica Retreat, 2025

This retreat was more than just a getaway it was a journey of self discovery, healing and connection. I left feeling recharged, inspired and very grateful. Brooke's retreat is a gift to the soul.

Judy · Costa Rica Retreat, 2025

I left feeling more connected to myself, more grounded, and reminded of how important it is to slow down and create space to just be present. I would absolutely recommend a retreat with Brooke to anyone.

Cynthia · El Salvador Retreat, 2026

It feels like a dream. Thank you Brooke for leading us with wisdom and grace. The whole experience was like the most precious of gifts.

Ellie · Costa Rica Retreat, 2025

Is this for you?

You don't have to be
a yogi to belong here.

This retreat is co-ed and all-welcome. You don't need experience. You don't need a partner. You need to feel the pull and say yes to it.

You've been moving fast for a long time and something keeps telling you to stop
You want to travel somewhere that means something not just somewhere pretty
You're coming solo and wondering if that's okay. It is. Some of the best retreats are solo ones. Single occupancy rooms are available, or you can opt into double occupancy pricing if you'd like to share. We do not partner guests with someone of a different gender for shared rooms.
You want to move your body, quiet your mind, and actually exhale for seven whole days
You're ready for an experience you'll be telling people about for years

"Whether you come with someone or come alone you'll leave belonging."
