BALI RETREAT:
THE REGULATED BODY- THE RELATIONAL BODY

THE REGULATED BODY-

THE RELATIONAL BODY
MAY 9-15, 2027
UBUD, BALI

Restore. Regulate. Reconnect.

A six-day immersive Craniosacral Somatics retreat exploring therapeutic touch, nervous system regulation and embodied learning in the heart of Bali.

MEETING OUR BODIES

Healing doesn't happen through techniques alone. It emerges through safety, relationship, curiosity and presence. The Regulated Body- The Relational Body is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with your body, and deepen your understanding of how healing unfolds through presence, movement and therapeutic touch.

Rooted in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and enriched by fascial exploration, meditation, gentle movement and embodied practice, the week offers an experiential journey into the intelligence of the nervous system and the body's innate capacity for regulation and change.

EXPLORE

- nervous system regulation

- relational touch

- craniosacral anatomy

- fascial continuity

- gentle fascial unwinding

- visceral awareness

- embodied movement

- therapeutic presence

- clinical integration

- the diaphragms and the pericardium

Whether you are completely new to this work, an experienced bodyworker, or an established craniosacral practitioner, the retreat is designed to meet you where you are. Rather than focusing on techniques to master, we cultivate the skills of listening, sensing and responding—both within ourselves and in relationship with others.

For the week, we’ll make our home at Gaia Retreat Center, a peaceful retreat space surrounded by the lush landscape and rice fields of Ubud.

The centre offers us space to come together for teaching, movement and shared practice, while also giving plenty of room to slow down, rest and enjoy the surroundings. With beautiful communal spaces, a dedicated practice shala, pool and individually designed rooms, Gaia gives us a setting where the retreat can extend beyond the teaching itself.

We’ll have exclusive use of the retreat centre for the duration of our stay, allowing us to create a private and intimate space for our group.
