Settle, release, and reconnect—gently
Our retreats offer a powerful process of purpose and real change. Join our 7-day BioDynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release System® (BBTRS®) Training in Bali — an in-person immersion that combines deep somatic healing with the natural beauty of the Indonesian landscape.
Settle your nervous system, release held tension, and reconnect with your body—guided by BBTRS®’s Six Elements (Breath, Movement, Sound, Touch, Emotion, Meditation). Sessions are consent-led, paced, and designed to keep you resourced throughout the week.
A safe place to unwind tension and feel more like yourself
Across seven days, we’ll guide your nervous system toward steadier ground. You’ll learn to sense more, push less, and build capacity so relief lasts beyond the retreat.
You’re in the right place if…
- You want a safe, structured way to explore breathwork and embodied healing without overwhelm
- You’re ready for a week dedicated to your inner work, with skilled guidance
- You’re a practitioner or student seeking a deeper, personal immersion in BBTRS®
A restful space in Bali
Accommodation
The Venue
The venue for this BBTRS® Training is set in the beautiful Balinese countryside, facing the sea. It’s a stunning spot for snorkeling and with a bit of luck, you might even see some dolphins. During the training, there will also be opportunities to just relax and enjoy the pool or to treat yourself at their Wellness Centre which offers Balinese, Ayurvedic, and Western-inspired beauty and health treatments. Accommodation is in Balinese-style bungalows constructed out of bamboo, natural stone, and wood, equipped with open-air bathrooms, hot water, fully-equipped kitchens, and bedrooms with mosquito nets. We will enjoy three buffet meals a day with a large variety of healthy Indonesian and Western-inspired foods, largely vegetarian and some fresh fish dishes, served at the beach-facing restaurant. Mineral water, different teas, Balinese coffee, and cocoa are available throughout the day.
