For the Woman with An Adventurous Heart: A Sober Yoga & Soulful Healing Retreat in Bali...
March 7-14 | Ubud, Bali
WOMEN ONLY | ALCOHOL-FREE
Nurture your wild, adventurous and exotic self in the magical location of dreams, Bali...
It's a destination of dreams. Well, finally your chance has come to make a dream come true - join me, my co-host Cybele and a special guest, yoga teacher, author and podcaster Alexandra McRobert, in this beautiful and peaceful, deeply spiritual place: Ubud, Bali.
Is This Retreat For You?
👑 You're sober or sober curious and will not struggle without alcohol - *strictly - for one week.
👑 You're midlife, or thereabouts, identify as a woman, and want to connect with similar souls on a journey of coming home to yourself
👑 You're on a healing journey and want to connect to mind body work and the work of reparenting
👑 You are ready for the trip of a lifetime, belly laughs, deep connection, vulnerable sharing, and 'realness' that will have you wondering why you ever thought alcohol was even required for closeness, hilarity, and wild adventures!
*A note about it being a sober retreat: This is an alcohol free retreat, strictly. We ask politely that you don’t consume alcohol at this event, all week. It is a special retreat for 12 'sober curious' or sober women - it’s simply a restful, embodied and fun 7 nights without booze (so if you do drink sometimes, but you are comfortable for a period without, why not take a week off so you can come home truly rested?). You may be asked to leave if you break the agreement not to drink or take intoxicating substances.
The Perfect Balance of Deep Healing Work and Luxurious Self-Care
Each day will be a blend of the following:
-
Morning Yoga and Reparenting Circle - Chakra themed - gentle movement and somatic awareness to reconnect with your body's wisdom. Sacred journal and sharing circles for authentic sharing and witnessing in a safe container
-
Exquisite nourishment - breakfasts and dinners are included - and provided by Kampung Uma Dawa - absolutely stunning, fresh, wholesome and real Balinese food (or international food also available!) that you will savour and delight in! (Lunch will be up to you! We will be eating lunch out sometimes, or at the accommodation restaurant - very reasonably priced.)
-
Self care - massage (not included but available at low cost on site), opportunities for healing locally such as reiki and more - plus (included) daily yoga and deep rest whenever you need it
-
Adventures AND rest - trips to sacred waterfalls, a day at the coast, some volunteering locally - a balanced itinerary that will allow you to see the best of the area AND also chill by the pool and enjoy a massage or two - full itinerary below!
-
Magical spiritual experiences including daily yoga, journalling, ecstatic dance, dinner and Kirtan (live music) with Alexandra at her yoga shala, and more...
-
Everything is optional - this is your trip, your choice, Queen!
Your base for the week will be Kampung Uma Dawa - your home from home. Cosy, homely, comfy - whilst also feeling truly Balinese and all set in stunning rice fields...
Kampung Uma Dawa, Ubud, Bali | March 7-14th 2026
Authentic connection, incredible surroundings, relaxed luxury...
If you love the idea of alcohol free authentic connection with other women, enjoying local chef cooked traditional Balinese (and also other more international food available), daily yoga with me, followed by reparenting themed journaling and space holding by my incredible special guest co-host, coach and reparenting expert, Cybele Botran... then you are in the right place!
Wild adventures, heart opening healing work, lots of fun and embodied activities
Day trips to sacred sites... Kirtan (singing to music) with Alexandra McRobert... a day trip to Ullawatu Beach and Temple... genuine experiences with local people... This trip will prove to you once and for all that alcohol is not required to have an amazing time, belly laughs, and deep connection.
A variety of budgets and sharing options accommodated!
There are 6 villas available to guests, each with 2 bedrooms and one bathroom, a kitchen and lounge area. We are basing this retreat around shared villas with 2 bedrooms (king size) with shared bathroom (each with your own locked door access) - but for a supplement you can have one all to yourself - or even 1 villa divided between 4 people (2 rooms with twin beds), in one bathroom (on request, at a considerable saving)! I have stayed at this resort, and it is amazing. The perfect blend of boutique, comfy, cosy and traditional. Just a short drive from Ubud, which is a buzzing centre for shopping, eating out and yoga, of course!
Sounds good right? Well, you are invited!
Retreating in Bali
with me as your Guide
Hi, I'm Rachel, your lead host!
I am an Embodiment Coach, Yoga Teacher and Reiki Guide. I am also sober and have been on retreats all over the world. I can't wait to host you as we gather for a very special week in Bali - the destination of dreams! I have been to Bali - pictured above! And it blew me away - I knew I had to come back!
Imagine a retreat full of Embodied connection , reflection - and adventure! Imagine, incredible food, daily yoga, reparenting-based inner child and teen healing, making memories taking in incredible sights and going on mind blowing adventures - many belly laughs and probably a few tears with new friends who - and I promise you this always happens - will feel like you've know them for years after one day! These are your people and you will make friends for life!
You'll leave nourished, with new self care practices, and sober female friends for life, plus memories of this incredible island that will last a lifetime!

Plus, our special guest, Alexandra McRobert
Alexandra is my friend, and my yoga teacher who trained me in 200 & 300), an amazing podcaster, an author - and an all round 'superhuman' whilst being very human, human being. She embodies yoga; she truly walks the walk. Her podcast, Sober Yoga Girl, is one of the most listened to sober podcasts. Her book, Sober Yoga Girl, tells the story of her sobriety and spiritual awakening. Her Substack brilliantly explains yoga philosophy through the lens of her real life. She brings so much to the table when it comes to the experience of embodiment and adventure - and so she is my perfect special guest for this retreat!
I am so happy to share that we will be doing Kirtan (a musical chanting / singing session accompanied by instruments) and also 2 yoga sessions, as well as having dinner with Alexandra. Instagram: @alexandramcrobert
