The ‘Soul Blessing Journey’ experience organised by Buahan, A Banyan Tree Escape, invites participants to be adorned in traditional Balinese Costume, before making their own Canang Sari, a small basket of gratitude offerings filled with sacred flowers.
Following which, the participants will embark on a 15-minute trek to the private waterfall where a Pemangku (priest) will preside over a water blessing before they are guided to experience the life- energizing Creative Restoration workshop.
Guests may also look forward to opt-in for nightly meditation sessions on their own by the fireplace in their room, or with others by the bonfire, as an added reflective session to end each day. This practice will encourage a further elevation of the whole experience and help towards supporting their well-being long after the retreat has ended.
Lucinda Law comments: “A key takeaway that I hope guests will discover from this retreat and at Buahan, is to be able to learn and feel safe in nature’s surroundings, where nature feels like home within yourself, and cultivate both holistic and practical techniques to connect with nature towards creative inspiration and expression. The retreat programme, ‘nature-naked’ experience and principles upheld by Buahan, come together seamlessly to make this retreat a powerful catalyst for the transformative effects the beauty in nature has on our well-being.”
Puspa Anggareni, Resort Manager at Buahan, A Banyan Tree Escape comments: “We are delighted to host the nature-creative retreat lead by Lucinda Law, which closely aligns with Buahan’s vision and commitment to create immersive experiences, combining human connection and nature to bring harmony from within. We believe this transformative retreat will leave guests rejuvenated and greater sense of awareness and we look forward to welcoming guests to this exclusive experience. ”
