Creative Sanctuary. Nature Refuge. Shelter from the Storm.
Throughout the ages humanity has valued the opportunity to break from life and retreat to a place where our senses can open and we can listen to ourselves and the world around us. Retreat is a deliberate act of letting go to provide way for the new, rekindling our relationship with ourselves and clarifying what is essential and meaningful in our lives.
You are the guide
The Big Love retreat experience is self directed. The freedom to follow your heart's desire and direct your time and energies along the path it takes is core to the experience. Simple crafts, stimulating ideas, art supplies and organic suggestions are all provided. However as you direct your energy inwards, and begin to listen to your own voice, what, when and how is really up to you.
Everything's organic
Depending on your circumstances and where you have come from the body takes 3-7 days to relax and acclimatise to its new surroundings. Away from the distractions and annoying addictions of modern life, the seed of something new reveals itself and the soul begins to reconnect and grow towards the person we really are.
Nourishment for the body and the mind
To nourish the mind we take care of the body. For some taking responsibility for the preparation of this sustenance is highly therapeutic. Others find feeding themselves to be a distraction to the flow of their process. We offer both self service kitchen (our staff can provide fresh, local ingredients to suit your tastes) or full-board (simple home cooked meals served in a location of your choice).
Totally private. Selectively communal.
Retreating is personal. You will be left completely to yourself to follow your nose. At any time you are welcome to share our communal spaces with our Big Love team, our resident labrador retrievers and others who may be working or learning there.
Beyond Big Love.
For guests who wish to visit Ubud we can arrange taxis, or for greater flexibility there is the possibility to rent scooters or cars. If you wish to venture further afield our retreat car and driver can also be hired on a daily basis.
