Discover Bali & your Self
January 21 – 31, 2026
Imagine waking up to the sounds of the jungle, to the smell of the ocean breeze, to the views of rice paddies. All while you are taken on a journey to invigorate your individual health, to explore Bali at its finest and to have lighthearted fun with epic humans. This will be the 7th edition of the Bali Dream retreat and every one of them was simply beyond. Beyond expansive, beyond delicious, beyond inspiring, beyond magical! If you feel the call to be healthily taken care of while literally and figuratively exploring new lands, then join us.
This edition, I am cohosting with my sister Tracie – a yoga teacher and grounded astrology connoisseur. We have both lived in Bali for many years now and know how it can transform you, how much joy and shifts in perspectives it can bring, how you get reminded that life needs to be lived.
So gift yourself this 10-day immersion in the healthy exploration of the island of the Gods and of your Self. We will move in different ways (yoga, mobility, dance, restorative), we will dive deep in our (sub)conscious (meditation, water ceremonies, deep conversations about what really matters), and we will have fun. Lots of fun. While getting the best of Bali, including its richness of delicious food and its unparalleled wellness and spa pampering.
OUR VENUES
Jatiluwih
–< 3 nights >–
We start in the lush mountains of Jatiluwih. A region also known for its world heritage rice paddies. We stay at a Coffee Estate, a place built with natural elements amidst their lush green gardens on top of a hill.
The rooms are warm welcoming bohemian and each have their ensuite bathroom. The yoga shala – where we will have some kind of movement session twice daily – overlooks the valley with a view on the volcano. Their vegetarian meals are lovingly prepared from produce from their own garden and we get served 2 of those delicious and copious meals per day.
It’s the perfect natural & peaceful setting to allow your body and spirit to land in Bali. You’ll get a traditional Balinese massage to shake your jetlag off smoothly. From there, we’ll also hike amidst the famous rice paddies and we’ll go to a wondrous waterfall to splash around like one does in waterfalls 😉
Pererenan
–-< 2 nights >–
After we get elaborately & ceremoniously blessed at a powerfully beautiful water temple – we arrive at our beautiful private villa, located in the hippest part of Bali. It’s fresh oh so fresh and buzzing with inspiration and creative energy. It’s also where the (beach) party is at, literally, as well as the best health restaurants worldwide (that’s my humble opinion but I’m sure many would agree). Of course we’ll be sampling many of these – nomnomnom.
Not to worry though, our villa is far enough from the noise to have a peaceful retreat and have those quiet mornings slipping from bed onto your yoga mat. Bonus, it’s is 100 metres from the black sand beach of Pererenan.
The rooms are luxuriously equipped and each have their ensuite bathroom. We’ll have yoga overlooking the pool and leisure at our venue which is a perfect tranquil base from where we can go and explore what’s luring so many travelers and digital nomads to Bali. Aaaand we’ll be joining the ecstatic dance party while we’re at it!
Ubud
–-< 2 nights >–
Ubud – the place where many go for ‘spiritual awakening’ – has gotten quite commercialised. BUT, if you know where to go, then it is a stop not to miss. And we happen to know exactly where to take you.
We will stay at a dreamy tropical retreat resort set on the outskirts of town. The perfect place to have a remote-set-in-nature feel while being closeby the amazing restaurants and shops, wellness and creative workshops.
We’ll move our bodies in the yoga shala overlooking the jungle, we’ll have delicious breakfast at our venue and we’ll design and make our own silver jewellery!
Uluwatu
–< 2 nights >–
We end our journey with a leisurely high. We stay at a surf & yoga inspired bungalow complex with a spacious yoga shala high up there so we’ve got those beautiful views.
The rooms are oh so big and shared with 3 people (unless you book to always have your single room), they all have ensuite bathrooms. The kitchen is exquisite and deliciously healthy (and I should know, because I lived there for 6 weeks when I was doing my 2nd yoga teacher training a few years ago). We’ll have our breakfast here for sure. For dinners, we venture out to explore other food gems.
We’ll stretch out on several white sand beaches, dip our toes in turquoise waters and feed our skin with some more sun rays. We’ll optionally visit the The Istana Spa for some sauna & cold plunge while overlooking the grand cliffs and ocean! This is also the spot to get your last minute shopping and spa treatments in 😉
We’ll hug our goodbyes and you’ll go home or to your next destination filled with fresh loving inspiration, your health reset and deep connections with new humans and your self.

Beatrice
Beatrice grew up in a small town in Belgium, in a family where healthy living was always a priority. She pursued her studies in Business Management and Communication in Belgium, France, Ireland, and Germany, which gave her an international perspective and a deep appreciation for different cultures.
Her curiosity and adventurous spirit led her to travel extensively through Australia and Southeast Asia. After some time in Belgium, she made a bold move and is settled in Bali for now. There, she became a certified yoga teacher and immersed herself in personal development, spirituality, and the power of community. It was in Bali that she discovered the transformative impact of women’s circles—safe spaces for sharing challenges, insights, and personal growth. Inspired by these experiences, she began hosting her own circles, creating a sense of connection and belonging for others.
Fascinated by astrology, Beatrice has studied it extensively and now offers workshops and individual sessions to help people gain deeper clarity and understanding about themselves and their life path. Today, she continues to share her passion through her yoga teachings, women’s circles, and astrological guidance, fostering personal growth and empowerment within her community.
