LGBTQ+ Wellness & Connection Retreat in Ubud, Bali

The retreat is hosted at a private villa in Kengetan, a peaceful village in Gianyar, just 10–15 minutes from Ubud's vibrant center. You'll stay in boutique rooms—either a shared twin with a private ensuite or a private double—all with air conditioning, high-speed Wi-Fi, and quality linens. The property features a yoga shala, pool, private gym, garden, and outdoor lounge areas, giving you plenty of space to unwind between activities.

Your host is Chase King, a certified 200-hour Yoga Teacher and founder of Soul Fam Circle, who previously founded Africa's first LGBTQ+-inclusive hostel. He's joined by Marcus Viljoen, a Vinyasa and Sculpt yoga teacher trained in Cape Town, who brings over two years of energy healing study to his classes. Together, they lead daily yoga, meditation, and connection practices suitable for all levels, with a focus on safety and belonging.

Cultural immersion is a key part of the week. You'll take part in a traditional Balinese Melukat purification ceremony at a sacred water temple, visit the iconic Tegalalang Rice Terraces and a coffee plantation, and experience a sound healing journey at the Pyramids of Chi. These excursions are woven around free time for exploring Ubud's famous cafés, boutiques, and waterfalls.

The retreat is alcohol-free, creating a clear-headed, connection-focused atmosphere. Meals are fresh and nourishing, with daily breakfast and dinner included, plus a special jungle lunch—while most lunches are left open so you can discover Ubud's renowned plant-based and local food scene on your own terms.
