A 7-Night Sun + Soul Retreat in Mama Bali
Yama Balian
Tucked within prolific Bali nature, Yama Balian is inspired by the lush tropical landscape and culture of the ancient Balinese traditions.
Overlooking the holy Balian river, where many serene wellness and healing traditions were hosted amongst its sacred waters, this small resort gives a taste of barefoot luxury, and is the perfect starting point for an unforgettable Bali trip.
Each Bungalow is carefully designed with a nod to Mediterranean style and finished with graceful Balinese touches. All rooms are located along a beautiful, central, gently sloping down garden which offers spectacular views over Balian river.
They all feature an open-air shower and private terrace with daybed, and are intimate hideaways that combine privacy with a connection to the outdoors—as well as provide an authentic Bali adventure experience for spirited travelers seeking rustic refinement.
Wild Heart Women’s Retreat
May 14-21st, 2026
Join us for a powerful week improving the most special relationship you’ll ever have in your life—the one with you
Awaken each morning to birdsong nestled in your bo-ho bungalow among the jungle.
Connect to your inner divine with daily yoga practices, ceremonies + sound bath’s; lighten the load of your heart with women’s circles, and enhance self-love with tender Balinese water purification and fire rituals.
Marvel at the lush green layers of ricefields, giggle during an afternoon surf, explore the city of Ubud, and indulge in magnificent waterfall hikes!
One afternoon, create your own Balinese offering, release baby turtles into the black volcanic sand of Balian Beach, and treat yourself to a massage by the riverside.
Bali has always held a special place in my heart (I lived there for almost 2 years!) The land holds you, allows you to feel; the culture opens up your eyes to all the Hindu gods + goddesses, the reverence to the elements + land is infectious—you will leave changed.
~
Spend a week among the sacred healing lands of mama Bali and the rich culture of the Balinese.
We took care of the planning, organizing, and nitty-gritty details, so you don’t have too!
Return home a little bit more YOU.

“I had been following EJ on Instagram for about a year and had been interested in attending one of her retreats. As soon as she announced Morocco, I was sold. It was a bucket list trip I had always wanted to take, and I’m so grateful that I did. Every logistic was taken care of by EJ, she’s organized, professional and calm under pressure; something I value from a leader and someone I’m giving lots of money to. Traveling to the exotic location was just a tip of the iceberg for me, it’s what I’m walking away with the is truly the icing on the cake. I came into this retreat not knowing a soul and I’m leaving with a handful of women that I consider sisters now. We laugh, we cry, we explore and we get out of our comfort zones; leaving as stronger women with a sense of growth at the end of our time together. If someone were to ask me if I recommend attending a retreat with Sun and Soul, my answer is 1000%!”

You are always a good reminder of what it means to truly feel comfortable, vulnerable, and love for one's self. What makes this retreat so special is YOU! Continue to lean into that to grow. Overall, I'll remember this forever!!

This was the most wonderful week of my life and I will forever cherish and hold fond memories of it! You all are such magical and inspiring women and I feel like I’m leaving with a stronger sense of purpose in my life. I loved the strength classes, the yin/sound baths, the massage and Reiki, the MOST picturesque hotel, and being surrounded by such a great group. Kudos, kudos, kudos to all that you’ve done to organize this, from planning the schedule, to surf lessons to inspiring ceremonies. I will never forget this week and I will never forget you! I’m sad to live so far, but hope to share joy with you all again. xoxo

This week was better than I could have ever expected. You three are the perfect combination to lead a retreat. I loved the balance of pushing myself physically, the yin/sound and the opportunity for massage and Reiki. The added bonus of Sarah's nutritional expertise was great, too! I really loved your energy as you worked together! The location (awesome) and outside activities were great too! Thank you!

The most wonderful week with the most wonderful ladies. I know we are all still on a high from our time together, from our meals, our accommodations, the scorching heat of the temezcal ceremony and of course the sun and sand in our toes. Your attention to detail did not go unnoticed. I could not have asked for a better Thanksgiving week. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You filled my cup - xxoo

This powerful 2-part circular breath is a profoundly powerful ceremony that helps to accelerate healing, vibrational upliftment, shed limiting beliefs, connect one to the divine, find peace, emotional release, and spiritual growth. Expect to breath for 30-40 minutes with tribal music, rattles, and drums to encourage a more lucid state.
Each ceremony ends with plenty of time to process, integrate and shift into the new you.
*These Ceremonies are NOT recommended for those pregnant or with high blood pressure.
-
Yes! This retreat is capped at 10 women.
