    Each room option has its own bed configuration, bathroom arrangement, views and special features. Please review the individual room description carefully before purchasing.

  • What is the refund policy?
    All purchases are nonrefundable. Please review your room selection, occupancy and payment choice carefully before completing your purchase.
  • Is travel insurance required?
    Travel insurance is not included, but it is strongly recommended. Because all retreat purchases are nonrefundable, travel insurance helps protect your investment if an unexpected situation affects your trip.
  • What will a typical retreat day look like?
    A retreat day might begin slowly with coffee or tea, journaling and quiet time before morning yoga and a freshly prepared breakfast.
    Afternoons may include temple visits, waterfalls, cultural experiences, lunch and time for massages, naps or relaxing by the pool. Evenings may include a shared meal, meditation, sound healing, time around the fire or yoga nidra.

    These experiences are not included in the retreat price. Options will be coordinated for the group and selected closer to the retreat.
  • Will we connect before traveling?
    Yes. Guests will be invited to a pre-retreat meetup and a private WhatsApp group. This will give everyone space to connect, prepare for the trip and receive important travel information before arriving in Bali.
  • Who is leading the retreat?
    The retreat is led by Beth James, a yoga teacher with more than 20 years of experience and the founder of the Barefoot & Free wellness community.
    Beth has been traveling to Bali for years, and this will be her fourth visit. Her retreats bring together movement, nature, adventure, cultural experiences, honest connection and plenty of space to rest and receive.

Awaken Balinese Dream Retreat Bungalow Suite

If you’d like a little more time, you’ll have the option to join us for one extra night after the retreat ends. 


 We’ll travel about two hours from Dwa Chandra to The View, its satellite day club on Nusa Ceningan. Think ocean views, a sunset together, and time to simply hang out. This part will feel less like a retreat and more like a chance to enjoy each other’s company before heading home.  We’re planning a chance to swim with manta rays as part of the extension.


 Meals and drinks will be on your own. Depending on how many people join us, we’ll choose and book accommodations together. The overnight stay will be a separate payment. 


 Interested? Select the extra-night option at checkout, and I’ll connect with you about the next steps. Selecting it lets me know you’re interested; it does not charge you for or reserve the extra night.


All purchases are nonrefundable. We also suggest getting travelers insurance for this trip.
