THE SOUL JOURNEY EXPERIENCE
Ubud & Canggu - Bali, Indonesia
November 2 - 13, 2023
Each of us is here on earth for a very specific purpose…do you know yours?
Feeling a lack of meaning, a lack of direction, is an epidemic plaguing our modern society. More so than ever before, people are questioning who they really are, why they’re here, and how to know themselves on a deeper and more powerful level.
The framework laid out for us by society is no longer satiating. So many of us feel stuck in the grind, disenchanted by material success and more isolated than ever.
This is why we’ve created the Soul Journey Experience.
Discovering your sense of purpose and creating a meaningful life is the journey of the soul to absolute freedom.
In the Soul Journey Experience, we provide the space, guidance, and environment to support you in discovering who you are beyond your sense of identity, societal role, and the many layers that keep you from connecting deeply.
Your soul has a divine purpose; it’s time to unlock the potential of your most authentic self.
Are you ready?
The Experience
Let Bali’s deep, spiritual potency inspire your soul. From the moment you step off of the plane, you’ll feel the inherent magic of this land.
This will be our second retreat in Bali, and we have an incredible trip planned for you.
Bali is a diverse, multi-faceted destination with many beautiful offerings. From ancient temples and magnificent waterfalls, to vibrant beach clubs and fine-dining, Bali can satisfy every intention.
In Ubud, you will experience the spiritual essence of the island, as we enjoy 8 nights at the beautiful Bagus Jati Retreat Center.
Considered to be one of the spiritual epicenters of the planet, Ubud is the perfect high-vibrational environment for you to do deep inner work, elevate your consciousness, and connect to your true self. Personal development workshops, cultural experiences, adventurous activities, and local tours will be planned for you.
After our 8-day deep dive, we will relocate to the vibrant city of Canggu. Here, we will experience the social elements of Bali, enjoying the beaches, shops, restaurants, and beach clubs with your newfound community.
We have curated an itinerary that promises to create powerful internal shifts, while providing you the space to integrate and relax.
If Bali is a place you have dreamed of visiting, this experience is for you.
If you want a deeper connection to yourself, to Mother Earth, and to the astral realms, this experience is for you.
If you want to push your boundaries and redefine what’s possible for your life, this experience is for you.
If you are longing for deep connections with like-hearted humans, this experience is for you.
If you are ready to put yourself first, reconnect with the divine, and realize your sense of purpose, this experience is for you.
We hope you’ll join us.
All inclusive packages start at $3999 USD
Pura Tirta Empul
For over a thousand years, Balinese Hindu worshipers have been drawn to Pura Tirta Empul (Holy Water Temple), whose sacred springs are said to have been created by The God Indra and to possess curative properties. This tradition still continues almost unchanged, and today, as well as worshipers, tourists come from all over the world to marvel at the temple’s beauty, and bathe in its refreshing blessed water.
Mount Batur sunrise hike
Bali is known for its beautiful beaches, but the interior has its own appeal. Here, you’ll find one of the region’s most active volcanoes, Mount Batur (Gunung Batur), rising 5,633 feet above sea level in the highlands of Kintamani.
To fully experience Mount Batur, we’ll embark on an early-morning trek to the summit. After departing Ubud at 3:30 AM, we’ll arrive at the base of the volcano while it’s still dark. We’ll then make the 2-hour journey to the top of the volcano, guided by the light of the moon and our headlamps. When we reach the top, we’ll be rewarded with amazing sunrise views of Mount Agung and the surrounding mountains. The hike is almost entirely uphill over jagged volcanic rocks. It’s a moderately difficult hike suitable for those with at least an average fitness level. The entire trek including watching the sunrise on Batur is 5 hours.
Monkey Forest
A popular tourist attraction in Ubud, the Ubud Monkey Forest lies within the village of Padangtegal. The village's residents hold the Monkey Forest as an important spiritual, economic, educational, and conservation centre for the village.
As well as the 700 monkeys, you can also see 186 species of trees in the 12.5 hectares of forest. The Monkey Forest contains the Pura Dalem Agung Padangtegal temple as well as a “Holy Spring” bathing temple and another temple used for cremation ceremonies.
Tegalalang rice fields
The Tegalalang Rice Terrace is one of Bali’s most iconic locations. Situated north of Ubud in Tegalalang Village, the Tegalalang rice fields are a series of rice paddies that are a part of a traditional Balinese irrigation system known as subak. Positioned in a valley 600 metres above sea level, the Tegalalang rice terraces offer breathtaking scenic lookouts over the rice fields and surrounding green landscape.

Ecstatic Dance
Ecstatic Dance has exploded into a conscious dance movement all over the planet and is also one of the key events to join in Bali. If you think Bali is all about serene yoga classes in lush settings and meditation in bamboo huts, that’s just a glimpse of the spiritual scene here! What initially started in Ubud has now expanded all over the island, offering a range of alcohol-free, free-form dance events in Ubud, Canggu and even the remote islands of the Gilis. Coming to one of these dances, you can expect lots of sweat, rolling on the floor, or screaming in euphoria to the next track! And all of this without alcohol or drugs!
What sets Ecstatic Dance apart from a typical club-party or dance lesson is that it is not only a work-out, but also a work-in for body, mind, and spirit. It is a mindful space created for those seeking conscious community, simply wanting to let loose, or even to release long standing trauma from the body. A dance is an intentional space in which anything that is felt is invited to either be integrated and healed, or released.
Sound Healing
Humans have known for thousands of years that sound & vibration are one of the most powerful tools in existence for healing. Long before modern science, medicine people used sound to induce deep, meditative states with others. Healers used sound and complex rituals to trigger the natural healing process of their patients.
The rhythmic frequencies produced by a plethora of Ancient instrumentation during our Sound Healing Sessions layer into an ocean of vibration. These waves interact with the water in our bodies, with our DNA, & with our chakra system aiding the intelligence of our bodies to feel, heal, relax & release.
The Ancient Sound experience will guide you into an effortless state of relaxation. The process is as scientific as it is mysterious. It requires nothing but your presence to be fully appreciated, but it must be experienced in order to be understood. Come with an open mind and heart, 'Expect the Unexpected’, and anticipate a magical Sound Healing.
Holistic Wellness Program
Your destiny is defined by your daily habits.
This is why every ALIVE Experience offers our customized, holistic wellness program. From optimizing your daily routine to supporting your body with clean food and movement, our wellness program covers every aspect of living a nourished life.
The ALIVE Wellness Program includes a powerful routine to start your day with the positive energy and mindset to take on all the ups and downs of life. Through our holistic wellness program, you’ll learn a new daily routine that will have you returning home healthier, stronger, inspired, and feeling ALIVE.
New Daily routine
We’ve developed an accessible morning practice designed to enrich your mind, body, and spirit. Not only will this simple series prime you for a day of expansion and adventure while in Bali, but you will also be able to take this same routine home into your daily life.
Our morning routine involves a 45 - 60 minute yoga session, followed by a 20-minute meditation. Both guided sessions are designed to be friendly for all experience levels.
Next, we will focus on daily journaling to document your intentions and goals, and to help you create a structure to continue your growth and development once you are back home. The journal will also be used to express your daily gratitude and inspired actions for each day.
At the end of each day, the evening practice will involve sharing some of your highlights of the day with our group and any lessons you’ve learned. Documenting this in your journal will be an inspiring way to end the day and set you up empowered for the morning.
Group workouts
The training sessions we offer are designed for people of all fitness levels. Using the TRX suspension system along with resistance bands, you’ll push, pull and lift what is comfortable for you (unless you ask us to push you further). Training in pairs will require you to support one another, literally. You’ll partner up with other guests and help provide stability and tension for them during the workouts.
Healthy Meals
During your stay, you’ll be well fed and enjoy many delicious, healthy meals prepared by our private chef. We focus on fresh, locally sourced ingredients that nourish your body and soul. When we dine out, we’ll enjoy the top restaurants in the area, with many healthy options to choose from.
If you have any dietary restrictions or preferences (such as vegetarian or vegan), we will happily accommodate your meal requests to make sure you are taken care of and have more than enough to eat.
All-inclusive packages start at $3999 USD
Ubud
Nestled among green terraced hills, Ubud is surrounded by some of Bali’s most famous landscapes, with rainforest, waterfalls, and terraced rice paddies dotted with Hindu temples and shrines. Many make the one hour drive from the bustling south to experience the captivating magic of the town, its ancient Balinese culture and traditional crafts and dance. A magnet for those pursuing a healthier life, Ubud has become a center of spirituality in Bali.
Here, traditional dances and elaborate temple ceremonies add color to the crowded streets. World class restaurants share space with vegan eateries, smoky live music venues, and cocktail bars. Ubud is also the artistic center of Bali, home to many silversmiths, stone carvers and painters, and boasts incredible places, like The Royal Palace, The Sacred Monkey Forest, and the famous Art Market. With everything from elaborate vegan eats and cleanses, to every type of yoga and healing imaginable, this is where Western spirituality and Balinese traditions live side by side.

Your Promise
While we can guide you, transformation starts with you.
Take your mask off. Transformation requires you to be open, authentic and vulnerable. This may mean facing emotions that you have suppressed or may not even recognize are there.
Understand that you are accountable for your journey: what you put in will be what you get out. We will provide the best tools, resources, and guides but the outcomes really depend on your input. Show up ready and willing to play 100%.
‘Say what you mean, mean what you say, don’t say it mean’. It’s your responsibility not to project any uncomfortable emotions that may come up onto the group and to be accountable for your process.
Support one another during and after the trip. We are building a community of like-minded humans who share the same desire to learn, grow and evolve. Supporting one another will make this journey much more fun and enjoyable, and help you create authentic connections.
