"A life changing experience"

(with the right balance between spiritual and fun).

While desperately needing a break from day to day life, and as a first-time solo traveler, I was looking for a yoga & meditation retreat that would allow me to unwind but maintain balance between the spiritual versus fun side of things.

The retreat met and exceeded all my expectations. I had an instant connection with organizers Karin, Wayan and BJ. I felt comfortable and was allowed to be my (purest) self. The variation between cultural trips (cooking class, jewelry making and, on my own request, speeding over the island on our motorbikes) versus the spiritual activities (early yoga & mediation, visiting local / undiscovered temples, attending the rituals and prayers) was so much fun, energizing, rough at times but all within a safe space & surrounding.

Not only was the retreat and its schedule adjusted daily to my own needs & wishes (and that of the other attendant), overall it felt so personal. There was room for time off or additional time together with the now so-called Bali Family. They all helped a lot in the struggles I took with me to Bali but also allowed me to just unwind and have a beer and “chill”.

The accommodations were breath taking; away from the “mainstream must-visits” from Bali, away from crowded cities and back to nature, mountains, waterfalls and rice fields. I loved the Glamping tents, but was also offered a luxury villa (Bahari’s) for an extra night including a swimming pool. This helped to slowly “get adjusted” to daily life. Staff at all places were extremely friendly & helpful, and made sure everything was to my liking.

What could be better:

As I didn’t know what to expect but had really clear “goals” for myself, I really was able to just go with the flow. Next to “the tent could use some more toilet paper” (but got plenty after simply asking), I have no improvements on the type of retreat I had. I do advise those whom are considering booking this retreat to be open for the experience and really determine what you’d like to get out of it. This will help you and the team of Mulia Manise to make the best out of your experience!

In 2016 I visited Bali for the first time. I then stayed in a resort nearby Ubud. This time I got to know a completely different Bali.

Thanks to the welcoming and inspired guidance of Karin and her husband Edwin founders of Mulia Manise for Yoga & Health, together with their team of local guides. 

Karin and Edwin have been living in the small village in the Sulangai for two years now. They live in the middle of nature surrounded by rice fields and look out over the blue mountains on the horizon.

II didn't feel like I was the 'tourist" but I rather felt embraced by the ancient religion and Balinese Culture.

And than it all begins.....: Bali gets under your skin..... You feel the impenetrability of the bamboo forests; you can smel the herbs, just growing by the side of the roads. You can see how the banana trees and pineapples grow and bloom. Yoe see and feel how the Balinese experience their religion and you experience that yourself.

First as a small step, and later on it becomes increasingly clear to you, this is not just a retreat, this is a personal transformation!

And there I went, backpacking for the first time for 4 weeks, in Bali. Quite exciting, what will be happening in the coming weeks, who will I meet and what kind of adventures will I have. All these questions went through my head beforehand.

Fortunately, a friend of mine, David Kalalo, had given me Karin and Edwin Hess's contact details, as they have been living in Bali for two years. So I contacted Karin and joined her Culture, Yoga and Meditation retreat for the first 6 days, together with Jeannette from France. I enjoyed every day together with Jeannette, Karin and Wayan Darma, our personal guide and private driver. After this marvelous start, I was able to start my Bali backpacking experience on my own, with an Yamaha NMax motor scooter.

Wayan Darma picked me up on arrival and that immediately felt familiar. We stopped at a typical local restaurant, which was already a great experience after traveling for 25 hours. I was welcomed by Karin in the beautiful Bahari Villas, surrounded by rice fields in Carangsari.

It felt just like a dream. I immediately left all my expectations and it felt so good and familiar after the first day. Everything was perfectly arranged until the last detail. Yoga & meditation in the morning, breakfast, then an activity together with Wayan as our guardian angel.

Every day I could choose from different means of transport: A bright green Vintage open VW, a motor scooter or the luxury car. They arrange everything according to your wishes and nothing was too crazy!! They know all the beautiful local spots, and this allows you to really experience what the Balinese culture is. For me, my Bali experience could not have been started better. Thank you so much for all the beautiful memories and see you soon!! Because I already fell in love with Bali.
