Program Overview
This nine-day retreat weaves together Saskia’s own transformative workshops with the healing traditions, ceremonies, and living culture of Bali. Based entirely in Ubud – whose very name comes from the Balinese word for medicine – the program balances daily movement and mindfulness practice, immersive cultural experiences, and deep inner work, with space built in for rest, integration, and personal exploration. 
 
Each morning opens with yoga or mindful movement. Days unfold through a rhythm of workshops, sacred site visits, and encounters with Balinese healers, artists, and community leaders. Evenings alternate between shared meals, performances, and free time to wander Ubud’s temples, cafés, and night markets.
