Meditation, Yoga, Prayer and Restful Contemplation – in Silence

Bali Silent Retreat is more than meditation and yoga and being on retreat – it’s a self-sustaining eco-sanctuary with an ashram-like restorative feeling,  plus  inspirational programs and events, including the most tasty food on the planet. Surrounded by Unesco protected lush rice fields, jungle, healing hot springs and the sacred Mt. Batu Karu, people nourish body & soul and reconnect to true self  and inner voice in their own way and own time in profound peace and silence.

“Simplistic but classy rooms, amazing & abundant Programs, best food on the planet.” Casey from Canada

Practice the ‘Art of Nothing’ and simply ‘Rest, Sleep, Eat and Repeat’ or join daily meditation & yoga asana, walking the labyrinth, soaking in the hot springs, cooling off in the water meditation, or exploring sustainability gardens and medicine plants, or participate in Balinese cultural activities.

Create your own schedule, your own inner journey, in profound peace and silence. (not vipassana, not a religious supported ashram; no guru, no dogma)

“Sleep like babies, eat like Gods, relax in total unity with nature and universe – that’s BSR; a perfect place to un-mind, un-wind, relax & reflect. Six stars!”  — Jessica from Germany

“Bali Silent Retreat is the most special place I have visited during this lifetime on earth.”— Marilyn from Australia

MOUNT AGUNG – the volcano

  • Eruption will NOT be near Bali Silent Retreat.
  • The volcano, Mount Agung, is the male mountain – most easterly.
  • Our mountain, Batu Karu, is the female mountain – most westerly of clear clean water- no volcano.

BSR is blessed by having experienced ash a few years ago, when the airborne volcanic ash from Java volcanoes (to the west of us) blew this way. Although we don’t anticipate much ash since the volcano is to the east, and breezes usually blow from the west or south, we developed a protocol for staff and guests.

Programs

Morning and afternoon are Yoga Asana and Meditation classes in the open air octagon tent (Bale) surrounded by the lush green of nature. Hot Springs and Temple Trips are scheduled daily.   Weekly events include talks about Balinese culture and our  food philosophy, as well as how to make those cute little offerings. Every new and full moon we perform an Agnihotra healing fire ceremony. On your own you can explore the Labyrinth, Jungle Path, Water Meditation, Library and much more. The Programs Calendar shows all activities included in your Overnight stay and/or Day Pass.

“The rice fields are amazing! The gardens are a beautiful meditation unto themselves. The helpful and smiling staff. The views! The Silence. The sounds of nature. But the one factor that will bring me back to Bali Silent Retreat is the heavenly feeling here on earth.”
