Take a look at our Yoga retreat Schedule
Our Souls
Our souls are seeking nourishment, a quietude, a peace. We seek sisterhood, connection and belonging based on our inner hearts light; something richer than the world of materialism, dotcoms and dollars, something that will lead us back to our true joy.
Healing can be as simple as sitting in nature and listening to the language of our hearts. – Megan
Why Women’s Yoga Retreats in Bali
Unfortunately with the cause of #metoo movement, the pressures of modern living and the competitive culture of materialism, we have disconnected from our spiritual centre and are in dire need of healing and returning to the still point of our heart. Most of us don’t even know what we want, who we are or how to begin to remove ourselves from the swamp of the wild wild West.
Some of us have passed the healing stage and want to immerse our selves in the qualities of our spiritual truths, to be in nature and our being, to enhance our spiritual practices (Sadhana), in Sangha (spiritually likeminded community). Somewhere safe and relaxing, with sistas.
Soul Rehab – Essence Retreat Bali
Offers a place for both healing and spiritual nourishment. Our retreats are designed to embrace the deeper spiritual yearnings and hold space for any healing that needs to arise. We have incorporated a balance between the rich immersions of spiritual practices, enjoyment, art practices and freedom.
Our retreats are enriching small and intimate.
Set in the authentic and traditional Balinese area of Ubud among the rice paddies, arts culture and serenity of the Bali Smile, Soul Rehab unites and empowers women to have glimpses of and/or abide in their true worth.
We have two Up and coming Retreats available In Ubud Bali
Our Hosts
Are experienced Dharma, Yoga and Meditation practitioners

Meditation | Yoga
The daily schedule consists of morning and evening restorative Yoga and guided meditation. As well as evening Yoga Nidra and Heart opening meditation, mantra and chanting sessions. Meditations and body movement will focus on self care and trust, deepening compassion, arousing your inner voice and enlivening your spiritual centre.
All participation is optional as our retreat aims to promote freedom and natural personal rhythm.
Healing | Woman’s Circle
Sharing and healing circles for meeting your true nature and expression of your voice will be a daily option. These circles are carefully considered for the healing and vulnerability that we experience and our instructors are trained in holding space and nurturing your deeper feelings. This is often a deeply transformation and healing experience. Our meditation and asana practices prepare the body and the spirit for this transformation to occur in a more gentle and harmonious way.
Freedom dancing/movement by candlelight (on alternate evenings).
Healing trip
The Balinese are deeply enriched in Hindu culture and a part of this is to offer gifts to the ‘Gods’ of nature.
They strongly believe that nature provides their beautiful land for them and to honor it they give daily blessing.
We are blessed to be attending a local traditional village family home with Kadek and his wife and mother, for
a lesson in these ‘offerings’ not far from the retreat centre but in an area that is uncommonly visited by tourists
and is considered a sacred area.
And, then be going to a temple for a Balinese healing ritual.
It’s a magnificent experience going into the Balinese rural environment, richly colourful, and it will give us a
taste of the real Balinese village atmosphere, you won’t want to go home :). You will need to bring some extra
clothes for this experience as you will be getting wet as part of the ceremony .
We are expecting to leave for this after breakfast – The trip is 4 hrs in duration.
The trip is 4 hrs in duration.
Body Work
A daily massage will also be available by the local property body workers, (the best in town, apparently).
Ceremony | Woman’s Circle | Fire Dance
We will also be having a sharing circle one evening or afternoon and as we will be blessed with an auspicious (Balinese) full moon (June 3), this will include a fire ceremony and traditional Balinese dancing
Gita by the Pool
A dream come true! Megan will be doing Gita (Bhagavad) readings and/or readings from Sri Aurobindo’s ‘Synthesis of Yoga’, By the pool; with open discussion. Megan will also be doing one on one spiritual counseling session through out the retreat. It is encouraged to use these counseling sessions to share or move compassionately through any deep emotions or issues that may arise as one immerses themselves in themselves and the still environment. They also instruct on sustaining spiritual practice in ordinary life.
The Tao and Wu Wei
We encourage Wu Wei (Tao word meaning ‘doing nothing’) and are happy if you want to sit and just be or wander the property or lay by the pool. Each of us has our own healing needs, body rhythms as well as individual psyches (or soul) and life challenges (although we are all connected) and therefore we encourage each individual to move about the day as they will.
