HEAL: An Introduction To Self-Healing
Â
Retreat to Bali
August 10 - 20, 2026
Â
A 10-Day Chakra-Based Journey into healing from the ground up.
Â
Join Daniele Gates, Felipe Gonzalez and Diandra Dinanath for an immersive retreat in Bali that blends yoga, energy medicine, cultural exploration, and the island’s sacred traditions. Arrive ready to release, soften, and receive — leave with tools, practices, and connections that last a lifetime.
Why Bali?
Â
Bali is more than a destination — it’s a living temple of healing. From sunrise on Mount Batur to the fire dance at Uluwatu, every step of this retreat is infused with ritual, beauty, and deep wisdom. With the addition of gentle arrival and departure days in Jimbaran, you’ll ease into island life and transition out of retreat mode with grace — making your journey as restorative as the retreat itself.
Your Home Away from Home:
The Ark, Ubud
Â
Located in the spiritual heart of Bali, The Ark is more than just a retreat center. It is a sanctuary. Surrounded by the lush, tropical landscapes of Ubud, this stunning eco-conscious space invites you to unwind and relax from the moment you arrive. Each room is designed with comfort and simplicity, offering a peaceful refuge after your daily activities. You will be leaving your work at home, and disconnecting from tech while reconnecting with yourself.
