Feeling the pull to step away from the rush of everyday life and into Bali’s lush rice fields, where the gentle whispers of nature invite you to pause, breathe, and arrive fully in the present?
Here, you will be guided by yoga, tantra, and embodiment practices that awaken your body’s wisdom, open your heart, and reconnect you with the divine within and all around you—leaving you more connected to your power, your heart, and your true essence.
What Awaits You
Sacred Setting: retreat in complete tranquillity nestled amongst verdant green rice fields away from Ubud's crowds
Ancient Wisdom: experience true tantra as a spiritual path of embodied awakening, guided by expert teachers who honour its sacred roots
Cultural Immersion: experience Balinese ceremonies, traditional temples and a transformative fire puja
Unique Experiences: Pyramids of Chi for private sound healing and an intimate tea ceremony at Dragon Tea Temple
Sisterhood: join a group of women ready for genuine transformation, held in supportive environment to explore your most alive, joyful and authentic self
There are few places we’ve been where the embodiment of reciprocity is as beautifully and tangibly felt as in Bali. This sacred dance of giving and receiving is truly heart opening to experience — and we can’t wait to explore that dance with everyone joining us on the island of gods this September.
In Tantra, divinity isn’t something outside of you — it’s within you, and it’s all around you. The body, the breath, the elements, sensation, emotion, stillness. Tantra invites us to meet the divine through lived experience, through presence, through embodiment.
We created Divine Essence for those who feel the pull to journey inward, while also connecting outward with the surroundings and sacred land of Bali.
The Intention
The Space & Spa
The Shala Bali is our sanctuary during this transformative immersion. Nestled in an idyllic natural environment surrounded by rice fields, this peaceful haven sits in quiet seclusion outside Ubud's bustle, grounded in the ancient wisdom of Balinese and Indian philosophy.
Each room has been uniquely built to have the feel of a private villa. Wake up to panoramic views of emerald rice terraces and lush jungle canopy before dipping in the pristine saltwater swimming pool.
The onsite Darshana Veda Spa offers you the renewing power of Mother Nature through authentic treatments and natural products. Experience ancient healing techniques that blend Ayurvedic wisdom with traditional Balinese therapies, allowing your body to release, restore, into its natural state of harmony.
Who Is This Retreat For?
This immersion is for women who feel called to drop deeper into the truth of their bodies and the wisdom of their hearts. Through the ancient practices of yoga and Tantra, you’ll cultivate presence, awaken your capacity to feel, and step into a more intentional, embodied way of living.
This isn’t about escaping life—it’s about meeting it with open arms. If you’re looking to:
Tap into your true essence and power through authentic practices
Experience the sacred beauty of Balinese traditions and rituals
Be held by a supportive sisterhood of like hearted women
Expand your capacity to release what no longer serves you in a safe container
Create more space to be more creative, playful, present and connected to natures elements

…then this retreat is for you.

“Oh my goodness… I’m not sure where to begin. I felt relaxed and calm from the moment I booked myself onto the retreat. Having known Varsana for a few years, I was certain that whatever she created would be incredibly special… and it absolutely was! When I arrived at the venue, I must have said the word ‘wow’ about a hundred times! What a beautiful space to unwind, rest and reconnect with myself. The wonderful Varsana greeted us with warm, open arms and I instantly felt at ease. The home, the spaces, the people, the food… it was all so wonderful and I honestly felt like I had stepped into paradise… a dream! I felt nourished from the inside out. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Take me back… 💛”
