Seven days of sunrise summits, waterfalls and breath in Bali

Where the week takes you

A tall waterfall falling through green Bali jungle — Waterfall walks

Green rice terraces and palm trees near Ubud — Rice terraces and hills

A house tucked into the Bali jungle canopy — A jungle base

Mount Batur above the clouds at first light — Sunrise summit

Morning light through banana leaves in the jungle — Slow mornings

Scenery of Bali. Our own photos from the trail replace these after the first week.

Who it's for

You want a reset that moves: trails, cold water and early mornings.
You're coming solo or with a friend and want a planned week with a small group.
You're moderately fit: you can walk uphill for two hours at your own pace.

Who it's not for

It's not a party trip.
It's not a yoga teacher training.
It's not medical treatment or therapy. It's time in nature with practices that support rest.

Who runs the week

Every week is run by a licensed Indonesian tour operator. Indonesian hosts lead the daily practice, and licensed local guides lead every trek and waterfall walk. One written plan, the same standard every month.

How booking works

Join the waitlist below. It takes about two minutes and nothing is charged.
When enrolment opens, we confirm your seat and send a short health form, so the breathwork and cold water fit your body. The deposit opens after enrolment confirms.
We send the payment dates with your confirmation, before anything is due.

If we cancel a week, or it doesn't reach minimum numbers, you get a full refund. If you can't come, you can move your booking to any week in the next 12 months.

Questions

How fit do I need to be?

Moderately fit. The summit is about two hours uphill in the dark, at your own pace, with guides beside you. The waterfall walks are shorter, with steps.

I've never done yoga or breathwork.

That's fine. Sessions are taught for beginners, and every practice has an easier option.

What's the weather like in April?

April is the end of the wet season: the waterfalls are full and the mornings are usually clear. Bring a light rain jacket.

What about food?

Whole-food meals, with vegetarian and vegan options. Tell us about allergies when we confirm your seat.

Is it safe?

Licensed guides lead every trek, groups are small, and the health form comes before any breathwork or cold-water practice. Travel insurance is required.

Can I come alone?

Yes. Many guests come solo. We match you with a room-mate, or you can take a private room.
