Sacred Self Retreat: Bali, Indonesia
August 28th- September 4th 2027
Welcome lovely one, welcome home to your sacred self.
You’ve been collected at the airport by a lovely crew member from The Ark, and you’re making your way up to Ubud, through the traffic of Bali. You’re most likely chatting with one of the other fabulous folks who’ve said ‘YES’ to this retreat. You’re maybe a little excited and a little nervous, and that’s okay. It’s been a big first half of the year. You’re connected to your intentions, and you trust that a week in Bali is a special way to honour yourSelf and also what you’ve already made happen for the last 12 months. This time is for You: to enjoy some space, to relax, to exhale after a big few months and to re-calibrate, and re-connect back with your Self.
You’re greeted at The Ark with a fresh coconut and sweet treat, as you relax you’re being checked in with ease and as you look around the surroundings, it almost instantly feels like home. You’re deepening your inhale and exhale, and even if the flight was a ‘bit’ you’re feeling calm. Your room has been chosen for you, and you can;’t wait to connect with the crystal energy of the room. You land in your room, and exhale once more, finding your lovely little Sacred Goodie Bag, you have a look through and get settled in your space. This is your space for the next 7 nights. annnnd exhale once more..
Whether you’ve sat in Circle with Carly or at all, you’ve heard really good things and can’t wait to lean into the Sacred Circles, relax into sound healing & Yoga Nidra, connect with the energy of Bali and it’s culture, spend time with your intentions & your own Sacred Practice, explore your creativity and allll the other Sacred Experiences over the next week.
Within our 7 days together you’ll be invited into Sacred Circle, where you’ll journey through opening the heart, setting/connecting to your intentions, sharing, listening, collaborating, sipping Cacao, meditating and basking in the magic of being held, seen and heard. You'll journal and pause in the stillness where you will begin to hear and connect to the whispers of your heart. It is here where we’ll also explore the Tri Hita Karana: the 3 ways to live in Balinese harmony & prosperity. And how you can adopt these Practices and energies into your own Sacred Practice.
You’ll end a couple of your days with a long and lush Yoga Nidra Practice. Inviting in the deepest of rest, as you get cozy in your nest and really drop into the space through all senses. Feeling into, a candle lit space, the smell of palo santo, and relaxing with your eye pillow. As you move through this guided Reiki infused Practice exploring the different layers of your being, you’ll find softness and a deeper connection to your intentions. Trusting it is all here to soothe your nervous system in all the ways possible. Cups of tea, Oracle Cards and chats are all welcome after the Practice and before you head to sleep.
introducing you to your sacred self
Your mornings begin with your first Practices in connecting to your Sacred Self. Asking yourSelf, what do you need this morning, is it a walk up the gang to a cute coffee shop, or journalling on one of the Balinese daybeds hidden amongst the grounds of The Ark (you will receive journaling prompts for each day of Retreat to support you in fostering your own Sacred Practice) meditation, have a dip in the pool, read a book in bed, or to simply have a little sleep in, because.. no one is here to bother you. Your simple and nourishing breakfasts are served in the dining area, as you sit, with a cup of tea or coffee, chatting with everyone.
Your breakfast will fuel you for the activations we have for each day, things like we’ll head up to Pyramids of Chi for a super cool sound bath. We’re heading to the Water Temple on one of our days, a special and Sacred Practice that is soothing & activating. We’ll enjoy a Balinese cooking class and enjoy chatting and munching on our culinary creations. There is a Batik class we’re doing toward the end of the week, when we’re relaxed and open to exploring our creativity, as well as a couple of other little things we’ll get to do too.
exploring your FRee + foodie self
Don’t you worry, there is plenty of time for You. To be exactly as you need to be. On this Retreat, you enjoy plenty of free time for you to choose You. A chance for you to Practice connecting with your Sacred Self, asking yourSelf, ‘what is that you need in this moment’. It could be a swim and reading a book poolside, enjoying a sauna and dip in the pool, it could be a nap, it could just be simply resting on a day bed..And hey, if your Sacred Self is saying jump on the back of a Gojek and head into Ubud to shop & explore, that is alllll very welcome.
Oh and a 90minute massage is included in your Retreat. we’ll have these earlier in our week, to relax those travelling muscles and further ground you into Retreat.
You absolutely love that the only thing you really need to decide on this Retreat is what cocktail to order when we head out for a light dinner & cocktail at a super cool place, I cannot wait to take you too.
All of our breakfast and other dinners will be held at The Ark, where their in house chef will nourish us with the most of delicious food, all made with locally sourced fresh produce. Please e sure to let me know any dietary preferences, as all can be accommodated.
Our lunches will be a cute combo of things from dining at a Warung (local Balinese cafe) situated in the rice paddies, checking out some of the cafes in Ubud Centre.
journeying home as your Sacred self
You’ve said your farewells to the Retreat peeps, and The Ark, with a full heart of connections made, intentions held, Gratitude and an inner Peace that feels so special. The team at The Ark will safely get you to the airport, where you will sort yourself for your departure.
Whilst here you connect into your heart with even more Gratitude. You feel into all of the experiences you’ve had and shared. You’ve connected to your heart and have actually had space and time to listen to it. You experienced Circle, each were slightly different, using things like Oracle Cards, Journalling, Cacao, Yoga Nidra, all to connect you to your Inner Wisdom.
You’re taking with you a sense of Sacred Self-ness, and a deep understanding of Daily Practice and how simple some of these Practices can be. You’re trusting what your Sacred Self is asking you for, is it stillness, re-connecting to your intentions, taking action on your intentions, movement, meditation, journalling, the Practice of honouring. You are so Grateful for all of the Practices you now have to anchor into. With a deep understanding that you can be in the Sacred, but live your life, grab coffee with friends, go shopping. You’ll learn that you don’t need to switch it on or off, it’s a part of you always. And we really honour this over our Retreat weekend.

Hi I’m Carly,

I’m big on connecting to what I value and setting intentions to anchor into those values. Practicing every day as a way to honour my intentions and my Self, and I love Gratitude, the Practice of the heart.
I’ve explored many Practices and love sharing them with You, from a simple Cacao Practice, Journalling, Oracle Cards to Yoga Nidra. Holding Sacred Space, Journalling, daily movement, working with an altar, crystals, and so many more.
After holding 3 retreats in Yamba & gathering people in this Retreat energy is truly an honour. I’m beyond Grateful to be holding you in this way. Where we spend a Sacred week together, connecting, sharing, exploring the Sacred & the culture of Bali, and simply having a fab time. Whether you’ve joined in the past or this is your first Retreat with me, all are welcome. To restore, to re-calibrate, to rejuvenate, along with a beautiful group of folks, allow me to support you in coming back to You, to connecting you to what You value, hold in intention and share with you a way to honour You each and every day.

Plus I will also be around, because I won't be able to contain myself that we’re all in Bali together! eeek.. so fricking excited.
