Body and Heart
with Sophie Sou & Akal Anand
RETREATS BALI
Balian, Bali
March 4 — 8th
The beauty we admire
Is a visitation from another moment
Infusing body and heart
Memory transports us beyond time & space
Into the living presence of wonder
— The Radiance Sutras
WHERE THE RIVER MEETS THE SEA
Balian is a mystical and radiant place situated on the least spoiled side of the island of Bali. It is an area of exuberant nature, a place where time stands still, where presence and connection are all there is.
In front of Bali's sacred river mouth, and within hearing distance of the ocean, there is a convergence of energies as the sweet and salty water bodies merge. This is where the magic happens on the Balian shore. It's not a typical white sand and blue water beach. It's a mystic shiny black sand merging with nature, hanging off its cliffs. A mix of black and vivid greens over a misty shore will transport you to ancient times. It is Bali’s best-kept secret.
TO THE DIVINITY THAT IS EVERYWHERE
This retreat is an invitation to know utter freedom, a profound journey through the world of tantric practices and dance that touches every aspect of our being, in a space that is worthy of wonder and worship.
Art and physicality.
A contained temple space for your body to become intimate with its essence. Breathing out, letting go.
A space to dance in your inner world.
