Escape to Bali

A Wildlife, Wellness & Yoga Adventure

Let’s make an impact together while creating lifelong memories in paradise!

Embark on an adventure supporting local workers and small businesses in one of the world’s most picturesque, yet impoverished countries.

A once-in-a-lifetime all inclusive 8 day adventure for as little as $1,550 per person.

8 days and 8 nights- July 15th - July 23rd, 2026

What to expect:

Originally, my dear friend Thelma & I planned to go to Bali to host a yoga retreat. We wanted to share our knowledge offering workshops, classes, and relaxation. After discovering that it’s very difficult for non-Indonesian citizens to get a work visa to provide services on Indonesian soil, we did some digging as to why.

Bali is a gorgeous city in one of the most impoverished countries in the world. Hosting an event with the intention of providing services that the Balinese people rely on for income felt like–and is–stealing. 

Upon learning this, Thelma and I both wanted to find a way to help Bali, while providing a luxury experience.

We decided to make it a vacation instead, as well as an opportunity to support the Indonesian economy and find amazing local talent to perform all of the services we’ll enjoy on the trip. This will give us more one on one time to spend with you, and allow us to relax as well.

Instead of teaching and guiding your journey, we’ll be enjoying some time off alongside old and new friends on the trip of a lifetime–all while supporting the local Balinese economy’s skilled massage therapists, yoga teachers, restaurateurs, and many other Indonesian citizen workers. 

ALL costs go towards tailoring your experience and providing proper compensation for local workers. Thelma and I will make no money for the scheduling, coordination, or planning, nor would we want to. We see this as our opportunity to help support the Balinese people, hang out with you all, and enjoy a once in a lifetime trip. This is something we can truly stand behind and feel good about, and so can you. If in the end it turns out we over budgeted, all excess funds will be donated to The East Bali Poverty Project.

We’ll be staying in a gorgeous, fully renovated 7 bedroom, 7 bathroom mansion on 32 beachfront acres in Northern Bali. Enjoy dolphin watching from your balcony while sipping your morning coffee. 

We’ll participate in traditional ceremonies to bless our arrival and departure. We’ll be journaling, connecting, and making new friends together. Each day will have Sunrise Vinyasa Yoga, and nightly Yin or Restorative Yoga will be led by local yoga instructors (we hired several to each provide their unique style- they all speak English). Enjoy catered meals from a private chef. A full time staff of 7 will be in the mansion to take care of all your needs. We’ll make visits to natural hot springs to soak away stress and replenish the soul. Experience traditional Balinese massage from Balinese massage therapists while hanging out at the natural hot springs. Hike Mount Batur to watch the sunrise while enjoying breakfast at the very top. Visit the famous “Gates of Heaven”. Journey to a local eco-friendly winery and pick fresh grapes. Frolick around waterfalls. Additionally, you will receive a year's worth of professional, customized skincare products shipped directly to you after you head back home to remember the experience of our time together. 

July 15th, 2026 Arrival to Paradise

Arrival at I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport between 9AM and noon.

Our shuttle will be waiting for you, and will drive you 3 hours to our villa. We will be staying at Villa Shanti in North Bali. The front yard is coastal while the backyard boasts a rainforest with views of the famous Mount Batur Volcano. Upon arrival you will find a fully stocked fridge with your favorite food and drinks. 

You will be shown to your room where you can rest if you would like until Jero, our private chef, serves us dinner. After dinner and meeting everyone, a local Mangku will deliver an opening ceremony poolside to help us settle in and set our intentions. Mansion staff will take care of any needs you have.

Jul 16, 2026 Hot Springs and Relaxation

We will start our day with Sunrise Slow Flow Vinyasa and guided meditation. After yoga, and breakfast we will head over to the natural, healing Banjur Hot Springs to soak in a private hot springs area or explore. Enjoy a waterside massage service by one of the onsite massage therapists. 

We will have lunch at the onsite restaurant and enjoy the rest of the day here. We will head back to our villa late afternoon to shower and change before our chef catered dinner, followed by sunset restorative yoga and meditation.

July 17th, 2026 Restful and Adventurous Free Day

Vinyasa Flow at sunrise is available to you, or sleep in if you prefer. This will be a free day for you to do what brings YOU joy. Breakfast will be provided by our onsite chef. For lunch, you can choose to support a local restaurant (at your own expense), or make yourself something from the fully stocked fridge. 

The villa is beachfront, so feel free to enjoy Lovina Beach, explore the property, or head out. Dinner will be provided at the Villa, followed by Yin yoga to end the evening. We suggest heading to bed early, as we will be headed out early the next day to hike Mount Batur and watch the sunrise on the top of the volcano. Yes, on TOP of the volcano!

July 18th, 2026 The Great Mount Batur Hike & Yoga

We will be picked up at 1:45AM for the 2 hour drive to Mount Batur, where we will enjoy a 2 hour hike up the mountain. Once we reach the top right at sunrise, we will eat a well-deserved, protein-packed breakfast, then stretch and flow to our own body cues atop the volcano! We will make it back to our villa around lunch time, where Chef Jero will be waiting to take care of us! Feel free to rest, play, or journal until dinner is served, followed by sunset yoga!

July 19th, 2026 Gate of Heaven… Yes, Please!

We start our 5th day with a Power Vinyasa Flow to challenge us and bring us back into focus. Then after breakfast we will head to the famous “Gate of Heaven” where we’ll get the best view of Mount Agung. Explore, take photos, and learn. We’ll head back to our villa for a relaxed, catered lunch, then take a short walk to a local, eco-friendly vineyard where we can taste wine, shop local, and even pick our own grapes. Dinner will be served back at our mansion, followed by restorative yoga and meditation.

July 20th, 2026 Free Day & Community

We start our morning with Balinese dance-inspired yoga, followed by breakfast. This is your second free day, where you can explore as you please, or simply rest. The fridge will stay fully stocked if you want to prepare something onsite, or you can have our chef cook for you, or support a local restaurant (at your own expense). 

We will meet back up early in the evening to have dinner at The Global Village Foundation Kafé. Global Village Foundation Kafé is one of only a handful of restaurants in the world that employs all deaf/mute staff. It delivers a wonderful and unique dining experience for guests, and gives young Balinese deaf people an opportunity to lead happy, independent lives. After our lovely dinner, Yin yoga will be offered at our villa.

July 21st, 2026 Chasing Waterfalls 

After breakfast we will spend the day exploring the Sekumpul Waterfall, and eat lunch by the waterfalls. Then we’ll enjoy dinner and Slow Flow yoga back at our villa.

July 22nd, 2026 Last day to Play

After sunrise yoga and breakfast, we will spend our time reflecting, sharing, and packing up. We’ll enjoy our final lunch at the villa, after which we will have a closing ceremony, a gratitude circle, followed by Balinese dancers entertaining us with their cultural dance. Our final yoga session will be Yin yoga. 

July 23rd, 2026 Departure Day

We say our final goodbyes and the shuttle will transport you to the airport. A simple grab and go breakfast will be provided of fresh fruits, pastries, and hard boiled eggs.
