  • Breakfast overlooking Mount Agung followed by free time before the eventful afternoon.

  • Afternoon: Beach clean up with children from an inland community who have never seen the ocean. Taking the excited young souls snorkeling for the very first time is a highlight of the day. Sharing this moment with them, you'll experience the ocean's wonders through their eyes, an experience that's as enriching for them as it is for you. This activity is more than just fun; it's an opportunity to foster a deep appreciation for the natural world in the hearts of these children, an invaluable gift that they will carry with them long after the retreat ends.

    An informal beach lunch with children and organizers “Mud Fish” - as a thank you for the contribution and impact your presence made. Not only in the lives of these kids but the ripple effect created by the stories they tell.

  • Sunset: We gather for a sacred cacao ceremony, an ancient ritual that opens the heart and elevates the spirit. This powerful plant medicine serves as a gateway to inner exploration and expression during our full moon ecstatic dance. Dancing under the full moon, you're invited to let go of inhibitions, express your deepest joys, sorrows, and aspirations through movement, and connect with the collective energy of the group. It's a celebration of freedom, of life, and of the connections that bind us all.

  • Evening: Our day concludes with a bonfire ceremony, a time for reflection and release. As the flames rise, we symbolically burn away what no longer serves us, making space for new intentions and beginnings. This ritual is a powerful moment of closure and renewal, underlined by the majestic beauty of the full moon, providing a profound sense of peace and readiness to embrace whatever comes next.

Day 6: Dawn of Awareness

  • In true Wonderland style, this is not your typical last day of a retreat but rather a celebration of a new lifestyle a new you. The start of a new chapter and integration support the start of a new a new moon cycle, a new beginning a new you. With a new awareness and appreciation for life and yourself the choice is yours. Whether your intention at the beginning of the retreat was to be a better parent, break or make habits or to find purpose it all starts by honouring yourself, not letting your self worth not being influenced by anything or anyone. You will be surprized to see how confidently you follow your intuition when choosing Mount Agung Sunrise Hike: For those feeling adventurous, a guided hike up Mount Agung presents an opportunity to greet the new day and your new self from Bali's highest point, embracing the quiet majesty of the world below.

  • Villa Relaxation: Opting for a tranquil morning in your villa affords you the luxury of introspection, perhaps accompanied by a snorkel in the inviting ocean just steps away, or simply enjoying the peace of your surroundings with your favorite mixed juice in hand.

  • Brunch: As the morning's adventures and reflections draw to a close, we reconvene for a communal brunch. This gathering is more than a meal; it's a celebration of our shared journey and individual transformations.
