Women's Wellness & Yoga Retreat in Bali's Cultural Heart

The 'Receive' retreat is the signature offering from Pillars, the travel company founded by Alyssa Alto. Pillars creates group getaways that blend luxury and depth, and this Bali week is their most immersive expression of that. The theme, 'Receive,' isn't just a name—it guides every decision, from the daily flow to the types of experiences included. The goal is to soften, let go, and open up to more of what life has to offer.

Each day offers a mix of grounding and expansive activities. You might start with a morning meditation, then visit a Balinese temple for a sacred water blessing. Later in the week, you'll meditate with Buddhist monks and attend a sound healing session at the Pyramids of Chi, an experience that many find deeply moving. A group session with the renowned Balinese healer Ibu Jero is also part of the itinerary, along with a magical dinner at Merlin's Magic, a popular Ubud restaurant known for its theatrical atmosphere.

In between these highlights, there's a cooking class, a day to explore Ubud, and creative evening activities. The schedule is thoughtfully designed with both structure and spaciousness—you can participate in everything, or you can choose to rest and do very little. The week is meant to be whatever you need it to be. 'Pillars' aims to make you feel cared for and celebrated, and the small group size ensures you'll never feel lost in a crowd. This is a retreat for women ready to be held by a circle of women who understand the value of slowing down and receiving.
