What’s Your Reason?

Maybe you’re searching for your purpose. Your path. Maybe you’re just exhausted and you don’t even know where to place your next step - let alone where your path is leading. Life is so chaotic, it’s easy to feel lost.

The Reason Retreat offers you that space. 

No packed schedule of “healing” sessions, hard rules or detoxing protocols - there are many places you can go for this. Honestly some retreat schedules feel more like a regimen than a retreat! 

We’re offering you a gentle schedule to slow down and see what life feels like when you have more space. More time. More being, less doing.

Whatever your reason. You are welcome.

Jump to the full retreat schedule!

Why Ubud?

Our little village of Penestanan is nestled in between rice paddies in Ubud. A town in the heart of Bali that’s surrounded by jungle, mountains, rice terraces, active volcanoes, ancient temples, hot springs and waterfalls. The natural beauty within one hour in all directions is staggering.

Famous for spirituality and yoga, Ubud is also known for world-class restaurants, natural spas, art galleries, jewelry, handcraft artisans, wood-carving and live music. It’s a hub of creativity.

    Proof of coverage must be submitted prior to participation. You will also be required to sign a liability waiver before joining the retreat.

    We strongly recommend CFAR (Cancel For Any Reason) travel insurance, as it offers the broadest protection. Please understand that we are not responsible for denied claims or insufficient coverage and we do not act as a travel insurance provider.
