6 nights to rediscover the art of rest, receptivity + inner rhythms.
August 2-8, 2025
Mount Batukaru, Bali
Amidst the clamor of a world that never stops shouting for our attention, choosing the whisper to your own spirit is a revolutionary act.
A week to shift responsiveness back to the inner call to keep the language of sensitivity + sovereignty alive. With so many sensations to meet, the sweetest arrival is the soulful rendezvous with your true self.
“Wandering is not aimless – it’s attentive. It requires you become attuned to where you are by observing what else is there with you. Wandering asks you to step out of self-direction and efficiency. To give up the ways you think you should go and enter into a roaming relationship with life.”
Day Shildkret
Daily gentle yoga, farm to table meals, incredibly unique + stunning accommodation, live music, tea ceremonies, massage, time to turn the volume of life down.

Amidst the clamor of a world that never stops shouting for our attention, choosing the whisper to your own spirit is a revolutionary act.

What to Expect
This experience is not about the hustle and bustle of Bali’s vibrant street life or the endless rush to capture every moment. Instead, it invites you to turn inward, embracing a pace that allows for reflection and stillness. Here, amidst Bali’s serene + lush landscapes, we seek to quiet the mind and nurture the spirit. By fostering an environment of introspection, we create space for deeper connections with ourselves and our community.
Meet the Teachers
Cole Chance
I’ve been a seeker all my life. It has brought me to the depths of addiction, to all corners of the world, and gratefully to my yoga mat. Through this wide reaching practice, I continue to unravel, explore & understand the most fascinating of all the landscapes – the inner one as a path to the outer…
I believe in utilizing our curiosity and cognition, both of mind and soma, to peel back our many layers, revealing myriad selves including our unconditioned ones. My teachings are woven with threads of playful sequencing, yogic and Buddhist philosophy, and both the neuroscientific and mythic lens, all nestled on a foundation of compassionate self-inquiry.
A deep bow for my many teachers on and off the mat as this practice of inner and outer unity has literally saved my life.
Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.

Example Daily Schedule
Daily yoga with Kim + Cole. Postures that explore fluidity, not rigid forms – to align with the spaciousness of self that can stay sturdy amidst life’s constraints.
Pranayama (breath control) that oxygenates the body – not to will ourselves into pushing harder or obsessing over finding more energy but instead to facilitate the natural emergence of grace, to hold ourselves with compassion for the moments in life when there is no energy left.
We sit in meditation, not to tyrannically demand an obedience of mind but instead to harvest the magnetic electricity in the beauty of our thoughts that run wild.
Bathed in poetry, complementing the postures with intention and naturally putting a pause on hoarding the habitual patterns that are glueing us to the stuff that sucks the magic of out life
Exploring ways of moving to stir the knowing that things just get more fun when we orientate towards possibility
So when life delivers in ways we could never be ready for – there is a inner place of refuge in which to land
Yoga is truly a practice of coming into congruence with our kinship to the inner call that pulses harmony + safety into our lives amidst it all.
