Join Tiffany & Jaya as they offer this profoundly transformative & deeply regenerative Somatics + Ayurveda Retreat in the awe-inspiring landscape of Bali.

The island location alone is potently healing, and we couple that with these 10 Days of diving into the experiential teachings and practices of Somatics, Ayurveda, Yoga & Meditation to propel profound alchemy and healing.

This Retreat will provide you with the opportunity to delve into stored and habituated trauma and disease-patterning and to entirely transform your health for now and the future. Drawing from their combined 4 decades of work in these fields, with thousands of patients and clients, Tiffany & Jaya offer you these days of rich sadhana and embodied release + regulation, to really give way for multi-layer healing.

Let this Island of the Gods take you into her sacred embrace and feed you through the energy of the one million prayers offered to her each day amidst the 1,000 temples where they are offered. Allow your body to receive these beautiful blessings of Grace through embodied practice, learning, presence, nourishing food and beautiful community. We look forward to sharing an experiential, life~changing, and heartfelt 10 days with you!
