Bali Meditation Immersion

APRIL 9 - 16, 2025

Join us for 7-nights – a week-long meditation immersive, exploring longer practices, the Advanced Integrative Technique/Rounding, restorative yoga, deeply nourishing meals and the healing practice of 4-days of noble silence all within a supportive community experience. 

This retreat is suitable for all levels of meditative experience and also includes an advanced module on: Creative Liberation Through Meditative Self-Therapy. 

Your Facilitator:

This retreat is facilitated by Claire Robbie, SOMM Founder, meditation & yoga teacher. Claire has been running retreats from Peru to Mexico, Costa Rica to Rarotonga since 2010 and has a deep sense of knowing what is needed for each group’s energy. These experiences are an utter joy for her to create. She has mastered the art of being able to create the perfect restorative, comforting experience so that her students can explore their practices in a deep way.

A Complete Detox:

The focus of this retreat is longer meditative practices, the Advanced Integrative Technique and giving students an opportunity to really deepen their practices without distractions of the world. It is a true ‘retreat’. The intention: a complete reset of your nervous system, and that is what our guests experience. 

SOMM retreats are always technology-free, so no phones or screens are allowed. Upon arrival you will hand in your phone/technology. You can read/write/swim as well as do your practices including gentle yoga. 

Our retreats are also always caffeine, alcohol, drug free with a focus on fresh, healthy, plant-based cuisine. We recommend detoxing from caffeine at least one week before the retreat starts. Many of our students return from our retreats with a different relationship to caffeine and alcohol. 

Location:

Our experience takes place at a retreat property that we will have all to ourselves, away from any hustle and bustle. We have chosen the venue for many wonderful reasons but most of all the magical location. Nestled beside one of the island’s sacred rivers and surrounded by rice terraces, yet not far from the centre of sacred Ubud.This world of peace and grace will be our cozy cocoon for the practices we will explore together. The property is architecturally impressive and provides comfort, luxury and is a true escape. There are marble bathrooms; spacious bedrooms; an infinity pool; vaulted ceilings; eco yoga pavilion; cool spa treatment rooms; organic kitchen gardens and lush tropical landscape

“I couldn’t believe how much my practice evolved on this retreat. I was able to experience such deeper states of meditation that I could carry with me back into life. The retreat itself was one of the most comforting experiences I have ever had with an exceptional group of people. ”
