8 Day Emotional Healing: Temple & Ocean Retreat, Bali & Sumbawa

A two-island healing journey: 2 nights in Ubud, Bali, with a private Melukat water-purification ceremony and crystal-cave energy cleansing, then 5 nights at our secluded oceanfront retreat in East Sumbawa, a short 1-hour flight away, for yoga, meditation, mindful freediving and deep rest.

This retreat is more than a change of scenery. It is a two-island journey of emotional release, energetic cleansing, deep rest, and ocean renewal. Created for those who feel ready to leave behind accumulated stress, emotional heaviness, or old patterns, the experience begins with the spiritual traditions of Bali and continues in the total stillness of East Sumbawa.

Your first days are spent among the rice fields of Ubud, allowing you to arrive gently and slow down after your journey. The central experience in Bali is a private Melukat purification ceremony in a breathtaking temple, guided by a local Mangku. This traditional Balinese water ritual is intended to support emotional release, energetic cleansing, and a renewed sense of inner clarity.

Your Bali experience also includes crystal-stone energy cleansing in a unique stone cave. There is time to rest, walk through the rice fields, enjoy the pools, book optional massages and body rituals, and explore carefully selected restaurants in Ubud.

The journey then continues with a short flight to Bima and a private transfer to Ocean Mantra Village in East Sumbawa. Set above a calm bay between two untouched beaches, the retreat offers complete seclusion, uninterrupted ocean views, and space to reconnect with yourself away from the noise of everyday life.

Each day at Ocean Mantra Village follows a gentle rhythm of morning meditation, active yoga, guided underwater meditation, restorative yoga, evening meditation, and unhurried time in nature. Mindful freediving is approached without competition or pressure. No previous experience is required. The focus is on relaxation, breath awareness, trust, and presence in the water.

Between practices, you can swim, snorkel on the living house reef, rest beside the infinity pool, walk to the beaches, read, journal, or simply listen to the ocean. In the evening, Night Pool Magic invites you to experience underwater music that can only be heard beneath the surface.

During your stay at Ocean Mantra Village, you will be cared for with freshly prepared breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The menu is vegetarian-based and complemented by fresh local seafood, with fruit, drinking water, teas, and selected non-alcoholic drinks available throughout the day.

The two parts of the retreat are designed to support one another. Bali creates space for cleansing and release. Sumbawa offers stillness, integration, and renewal through the ocean, mindful practices, and deep rest.

By the end of the journey, you may feel lighter, calmer, and more connected to yourself. You will return home not only rested, but with a deeper awareness of your body, breath, emotions, and inner rhythm — carrying the stillness of the ocean into the next chapter of your life.
