Retreat Schedule*
*Activities are subject to change. 😊
Post-Retreat Optional Activities*
If you would like more adventures in Bali, and to sink in deeper with a smaller group…
Thursday, September 11 or Tuesday, September 30
Free time in Ubud
FI Freedom Retreat is "officially" over...at noon today.
Tuesday afternoon free-time options include: explore Ubud, shopping, massage, spa, cooking class, Yoga Barn class.
Optional activities:
3 pm Tjampuhan Spa hot & cold plunge & sauna, 250k ($10). Space is limited.
5:30 pm dinner at a special location if you’d like to join.
Friday, September 12 or Wednesday, October 1
Day Trip from Ubud
Based on your interest, here are some options for the day after the retreat.
Raft the Ayung River, explore hidden waterfalls, intricate rock carvings, and native flora and fauna, followed by a buffet lunch and chocolate tasting.
Free time (no organized guide or transport)
You may just want downtime to shop, get a massage, or explore Ubud. Or you may want to book your own day trip, e.g. Bike downhill through the heartland of Bali on secret backroads, experiencing Balinese daily life, rice paddy panoramas, timeless small villages, and Balinese children calling “Hello” along the way.
For additional hotel nights in Ubud before or after the event, contact us for a group rate at the Plataran Hotel.
Or see the FAQ #10 for other hotel recommendations in Ubud.
Saturday, September 13 & beyond or Thursday, October 2 & beyond
Nusa Lembongan island
Stay on Nusa Lembongan island for 2+ nights, based on your personal preference and flight schedule.
Note: it’s best to have at least three nights in Lembongan; two nights would feel rushed.
I’ll organize group transport to the island via bus and ferry (2.5 hour journey). Book a luxurious or budget hotel near Mushroom Bay Beach, based on your budget.
Optional free time activities: yoga, relax on the beach, surf or surf lessons, mangrove tour, boat tour with snorkeling, visit the stunning Nusa Pineda island, or pamper yourself with massages.
*Activities are subject to change. 😊
Other pre- and post-retreat ideas
In 2023 and 2024, many attendees spent several extra weeks in Bali, and participated in additional adventures, e.g. biking, rafting, snorkeling, scuba diving, waterfall or coffee plantation tours, a volcano hike, and cooking, jewelry, or music classes.
Cost of post-retreat options
Average mid-range hotel - $110 USD per room
Average restaurant meal without alcohol - $10 USD
We’ll divide the cost of the transport from Ubud to Lembongan island on September 13 or October 3.
Your costs will depend on your chosen number of nights, meals, and activities.
