Details

Take this Time for Rest, Inquiry, and Self-Discovery ~ Ubud has long been known as a place of deep transformation. A meeting point between the seen and unseen, the human and the divine. In this 5-day retreat, Jared invites you to rest as consciousness itself, to let the mind and its stories fall away, and to discover the simplicity of being. Jared’s teaching is not about fixing, becoming, or transcending. It is an invitation to awaken from our mind’s limited projections, and discover the infinite depth of who we are. Each day unfolds gently: guided self-inquiry, sitting in silence, and authentic expression. You can bring to the light all the blocks you have to total freedom, love and stillness, and be guided through them. The retreat becomes a mirror for life itself – an opening to what is real.

Testimonials

"I feel really still. Over the last two days, it felt like my mind opened a few times with insights that will keep unfolding. It has been an incredible journey. This place is amazing. Bali is amazing. The people are so lovely, and you can feel that in the energy here. It’s a beautiful place to be. I feel like I found a hidden gem—the space you’re creating here, and Jared’s presence. I feel blessed. It has been really beautiful, and I already know I’d love to come back."

Hanneke, Netherlands

I feel such gratitude. There’s something about Bali—the humility of the people and the joy this place has. It’s really a mirror; you can’t help but feel those qualities when you’re here. There’s a real spirit of devotion to this place, and the whole experience changes you. It’s been wonderful. Being with the group in session and then enjoying each other on adventures has been amazing. On retreat, we all start in one way and, two days later, we finish in another. It’s hard to put into words, but what you feel at the end is love. I’m sure this place has added to that because there’s so much love here. I didn’t plan to come, but something mysteriously brought me here, and I’m changed because I came.
