Essence Immersion
A Wellness Retreat to Bali
August 9–16, 2025
You've arrived—thank you for being here. Soon, we will journey to our sanctuary, the island of The Gods, Bali Indonesia, where we will dive into the depths of our essence.
Our essence is the most vital part of who we are—a tapestry woven from contrasting elements that designate primary characteristic to our persona and guide us to what we need to bring attention to. Through drawing back and the support of yogic principles, we will explore this concept by entering the inner portal, a landscape where awareness is possible. We will embrace rest as a profound return to inner strength. From that strength, we will expand, exploring vigorous edges, inner boundaries, through physical and psychosomatic practices.
It is my hope that through this journey, you will uncover answers to the deeper questions of who you are, what you are made of, and where you are headed in this pivotal moment—both personally and within the ever-evolving global landscape.

Do I need a visa for Bali?
Most Nationalities including U.S and Mexico enjoy visa on arrival. Please check this link to verify your status: https://molina.imigrasi.go.id/ You must buy a Visa on Arrival for $35USD. If you plan on staying more than 30 days, you must extend your visa before it expires on Day 30. Make sure that you have a passport valid for at least 6 months from the arrival date or you will be turned away from your departing city. You must also have proof of a onward ticket.
What airport do I fly into?
Denpasar Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) is the international airport you will be flying into. Remember you can lose up to two days with the time change and flight time, so double-check your arrival date and retreat start date.
When do I arrive and when do I depart?
Check-in is at 3pm Local Time on May 24th, and check-out will be at 11am Local Time on May 3oth. Soulshine can hold your luggage if you arrive earlier than 3pm or have a later flight on the 21st. If you are arriving earlier than or departing at a later date than, you are responsible for finding accommodations for the extra days.
You'll want to fly into the Denpasar Airport (DPS), and please be mindful that most journey times are 20-30 hours long in total from the U.S, so pay special attention to your arrival date and time. There also may be a significant time difference between local time in Bali (Central Indonesian Time Zone) and your time zone. Flights departing at midnight can get confusing, so double-check your departure date and time before booking.
It takes roughly 90 Minutes to 2 Hours to get to Soulshine from the DPS airport. Our Opening Session starts at 5pm Local Time on May 24th, so take this into consideration when deciding your arrival flight.
How do I get to Soulshine?
Soulshine is happy to book transportation for you. The retreat package price does not include transportation to and from the airport, so it will be added to your room charge for a minimal fee when you checkout (typically about $45USD each way depending on where you're coming from). We'll be in touch about this closer to the retreat. Please note there is a walking path of 180m and a staircase to the entrance of the hotel. If you need assistance, a ride on a scooter can be arranged.

Do I need Vaccines?
RE: COVID-VACCINES - Currently, the Indonesian government DOES NOT require proof of COVID vaccination in order to enter the country. The Indonesian government can change the COVID-19 regulations to enter the country at any point, those rules will apply. Please see the most current COVID guidelines for the country here.
RE: OTHER TRAVEL VACCINES - Not typically required to visit Bali. However, traveling outside of your home country can expose you to bugs your body might not be used to. The odd case of "bali belly" (diarrhea) is not uncommon. Packing an anti-diarrheal can put you at ease. It's always nice to check in with your family doctor or local travel clinic if you need any information on vaccines or medications to bring with you. There are some great pharmacies ("Apotek" in Indonesian) and an awesome health clinic nearby Soulshine Bali in case you need anything.
