GROUNDED RENEWAL

1ST MAY - 8TH MAY 2026

8D/7N In-person retreat at Puri Bagus Lovina, Bali

with Wai Ying

Friday 1st May - Friday 8th May

Grounded Renewal - Reconnect to Your Unshakable Foundation.

In the tranquil coastal haven of Lovina, Bali, discover what it means to be truly grounded—not as a concept, but as a lived, felt experience in your body.

Grounded Renewal is an 8-day, 7-night immersive retreat designed to guide you back to your most essential resource: the steady, alive ground beneath and within you. Through accessible somatic practices, deep meditation, and reflective inquiry, you’ll cultivate an unshakable sense of presence that becomes your compass for inspired living.

What Awaits You…….

Feeling Your Aliveness

Move beyond the noise of everyday life and into the vibrant intelligence of your body. Through guided somatic movement practices, you’ll release what no longer serves you and awaken to the sensations, rhythms, and wisdom that live in your cells.

Cultivate Unshakable Ground

Learn to access your inner stability—not through force or rigidity, but through softening into what’s real. Meditative practices will help you find the still point within, the place that remains steady even when life moves and shifts around you.

Discover Inspiration from Within

When you’re truly grounded and still, inspiration isn’t something you chase—it rises naturally from your aliveness. Through reflective practices and intimate self-inquiry, you’ll learn to trust your inner knowing as a wellspring of clarity and direction.

An Accessible, Coherent Approach

What sets Grounded Renewal apart is the way practices are woven together—each element building on the last, creating a coherent journey that makes sense in your bodymind and your life. Led by a highly trained and experienced facilitator,  Wai Ying, every practice is designed to be accessible, whether you’re new to this work or deeply familiar with it.

This isn’t about achieving perfection or keeping up. It’s about becoming more intimate with yourself, at your own pace, in your own way.

Your experience includes:

• Embodiment Sessions: Participate in daily sessions integrating somatic movement, breathwork, and body awareness to help you fully inhabit your body and experience life more authentically through all your senses.

• Meditative Practices: Engage in daily guided meditations, yoga nidra and meditative enquiry and reflective exercises to help you ground yourself in the present moment and tap into your inner wisdom.

• Connection with Nature: Immerse yourself in Bali’s stunning natural landscapes with guided excursions to sacred sites, rice terraces, and hidden waterfalls. Experience the healing power of Nature as you explore the beautiful surroundings.

• Collective stillness: optional observation of silence for the evening to the next day to promote self-reflection.

• Nourishing Cuisine: Enjoy delicious, locally sourced meals prepared with love, designed to nourish your body and elevate your spirit. Our meals cater to all dietary preferences, ensuring a wholesome dining experience.

• Community and Connection: Connect with like-minded individuals in a supportive, nurturing environment. Build lasting friendships as you embark on this journey of self-discovery together.

• Relaxation and Rejuvenation: Dedicate time to relax in the tranquillity of our luxurious accommodation, complete with spa treatments and wellness activities to restore balance and harmony in your life.

• Down to earth and practical guidance by an extremely experienced retreat facilitator - Wai Ying Tham
