Wellness & Meditation Retreat in Indonesia

We’d like to announce our next spiritual adventure planned for September of this year to the islands of Indonesia. More details to come but the current plan is for us to travel, explore and retreat on the islands of Bali, Lombok, the Gili Islands and Java. Nothing like tropical island hopping.

During our journey we’ll be visiting the magnificent Borobudur temple, a masterpiece Buddhist sanctuary. We’ll also visit the great Prambanan Hindu temples. These are some of the finest if not the best Hindu temple architecture in South East Asia for sure.

Stay tuned and we’ll be bringing you more information on this wellness and meditation retreat in the coming days.
