Days follow a steady rhythm. Breakfast runs 08:00 to 09:30, then yoga and meditation from 10:00 to 11:30. The late morning and early afternoon are left free — the team suggests using them for silence or a digital detox, and there is a small reward for anyone who completes a full digital detox. Lunch is 13:00 to 14:00, a massage or spa slot usually falls around 15:00, and a cultural activity or excursion runs 16:30 to 18:00. Dinner is 18:30 to 19:30.

Day one is lighter: check-in from 14:00, a 60-minute healing massage between 14:00 and 17:00, an afternoon cultural activity at 16:30 and dinner at 18:30. Day three is the big one — the pottery workshop runs 14:30 to 18:30 and includes the Tanah Lot temple tour and sunset watching on the beach. Day five ends with a sound healing session from 20:00 to 21:00, using Tibetan singing bowls and chimes; it can be moved to another evening depending on the teacher's availability. Day six finishes with yoga, lunch and checkout at 14:00 (rooms are vacated at 12:00).

The yoga is Balinese Watukaru, taught at the retreat's ashram connection — one of the oldest spiritual ashrams in the world, which still teaches Watukaru yoga, Tai Chi, martial arts and meditation. Sessions are adjusted for all levels, so complete beginners and people who already practise both fit in.

The cultural activities rotate daily and are posted on a whiteboard rather than chosen by guests. The list includes beach relaxation, cycling and sightseeing in the village, canang sari offering making, an authentic Balinese cooking class, organic coconut oil making, Balinese pastry making and Tai Chi. Waterfall purification is also part of the programme.

Optional add-ons can be booked alongside the stay: a Balinese healer or shaman visit, horseriding on the beach, a Watukaru temple tour with hot spring relaxation, Reiki healing, inner child healing sessions, an emotional healing session, a private sound healing session for chakra balancing, and palm reading. Extra nights before or after the retreat can be added at a discount.

Rooms are either modern or wooden bungalow style, allocated by availability, and all come with air conditioning, a shower, a desk, a balcony and a wardrobe. The property has a pool, a garden, a yoga shala or deck, a restaurant, a spa, a terrace, free wifi, free parking, laundry and bicycle rental.
