At the start of 2026, divinely orchestrated by co-creation magic (receiving similar texts like “let’s go on a new year’s retreat!”) a bunch of us gathered in Kintamani for Rise & Reset Retreat.

Our collective intention is a new year’s reset, mostly related to work/life. Timely, I chanced upon a podcast by Andrew Huberman, who spoke with James Clear passionately on the effects of “primordial reset” through trekking, or simply moving in nature 🍃⛰️

They shared that such deep reset can shift us from survival mode to purposeful actions:

🙅🏻‍♀️ not the old ways of work-life balance where we do everything at 50% effort, in a single state

🙋🏻‍♀️ instead, “when you’re sprinting you’re actually sprinting, when you’re resting you’re actually resting.”

🙋🏻‍♀️ the ability to oscillate between two contrasting states of strive and rest

🙋🏻‍♀️ being clear on who/what deserves our energy “sprinting with purpose”

I want to live more like that—I thought to myself. But I can’t do this alone (cos I can be really lazy!) and so, held by a luxurious forest enclave, I rallied a group of like-minded people to rest, reflect and reset together 🌀

The freedom to join or skip activities, trek or jeep up Mt Batur, wake early or sleep in, sit together or eat quietly, plus a year-end integration review, became doorways that showed us which side of the switch (sprint or rest) we should nourish more.

It really is quite different person to person. We had fun teasing each other, deliberately pushing buttons to create ✨discomfort and tension✨ so we can flip the switch.

Oh, to do this innerwork with a bunch of good vibe pals 🧡 while being held by the mountains, by thoughtful staff, and by dear Balinese sister Koko who we feel so loved by and have so much love for 🪷💓

On our last evening together we sat in a circle for a bbq fireside chat, wishing each other well on our next chapter of life, singing nostalgic songs together ⛰️✨

It’s now May and even as 2026 has been so tough, I remember the teasings and teachings 🫶🏼 Thank you my cheeky tribe for a good start ✨ + big squish to for precious moments captured on camera through her lens of presence and love 💓

I really really did not like February 2026. But in January I had committed to a post each month for this year, so I’ll show up for it 🧡 Serendipitously, on my lowest days I’d receive a text out of the blue. A text takes only a minute or two to write, but it does wonderful things. I am remembered by friends near and far. I am reminded that divine love is all around, even in the darkest corners of this messy thing called life. I relive the sun and sea in early February that have poured light into my heart. I dig my toes in the sand, determined to believe that love survives, and still resides in my tired heart. Thank you loves. February was hard to show up for, but with that I know that we don’t walk alone. We’ve got each other. Drop your friends a text 💛🌱

Yukkuri is a special travel project birthed by my love for the countryside life when living with Shiori, my Japanese sister. The retreat is named by her eldest daughter, Maholo-chan when she was only one year old 😮 ゆっくり (yukkuri) means “to be slow and at ease”.

Come yukkuri with us🎋

This is a really special project to us and our growing community of Japanese friends in Shizuoka. The first Yukkuri retreat was in the spring of 2025, Sakura Edition. During the retreat, more local women came in to support us, and now we have a network of Japanese friends who are looking forward to meet you!

For Yukkuri 2 Retreat in April 2026, our Bamboo Edition itinerary involves late-spring activities such as harvesting your own bamboo shoot and a bamboo-weaving workshop! We will also be visiting places that are mostly only known to the locals living in Shizuoka. ✨ I can’t express how grateful I am to our Japanese friends for welcoming us so warmly into their community. ✨

This is not your usual yoga retreat; we’ll be living this retreat like we’re part of the deeply peaceful community, going with the flow of countryside life and time 💛

If this is your type of travel experience, join me. Write me a message or gather more retreat details on my website (link’s in bio)

Hi friends! You’re invited to join me on a rise early, sleep early, sunrise chasing, mountain trekking mornings, and luxuriating in doing almost nothing afternoons~ 🌿⛰️

4D3N Kintamani Rise & Reset Retreat 🔥
24-27 January 2026

Mmm if you’re feeling like life’s pretty alright but also you’re open to inviting more goodness more focus more purpose into 2026, this can be a good reset and rise for the new year!

Lately, in my circle of friends and family, our chats often touch to the topic on 〔something’s missing〕. “I am grateful for all that I have, but also I want something else.”

And that is so okay! The desire for something else is natural I believe; it may be a longing for what satisfies your deeper self. It is a good thing to get acquainted with this feeling.

Listening in helps me a lot.

I invite you to join me in this forest-clad, traditional joglo stay with luxurious 4-star amenities for a deep rest. To escape for awhile from city noise and distractions. To listen in.

Sunrise mornings include a cafe run at 5.45am, and a Mount Batur trek at 3am. These may light up the innerfire of action and inspiration for you—but all activities are optional and therefore you can choose to opt out for a extended quiet rest and reset.

There will be yummy food and plenty of time to do nothing 🫧 If this feels right like a balm for your nervous system, your headspace, your heartspace—drop me a private message and I’ll drop you the retreat brochure with room types & rates.

Sending everyone so much love as we savour the last few weeks of 2025 left ✨💛

Gift yourself the gift of peace, rest and connection 🍃

In this 5D4N Bhakti-Silent Retreat, we explore the themes of mouna (inner silence) and bhakti (love & devotion). Our mornings will be spent in silence, giving ourselves ample time & space to introspect, recenter and explore the wisdom of our inner stillness. Post-lunch, we lift silence and open our hearts to connect through open-hearted sharings, heart songs and friendship.

The modalities through which we explore mouna & bhakti include:
🧘🏻‍♀️ Yoga Asana & Pranayama
📿 Guided Meditations
🤫 Sacred Silence
📝 Lectures & Teachings
🎵 Music, Mantras & Heart Songs
💚 Storytelling & Connection

In short, this is an invitation for you to Come Home to Yourself,
through silence and love

We hope that you can join us ❤️

💙 MINDFUL WINTER RETREAT NOZAWA 💙

During our 6d5n together we often laughed at how this ain’t a yoga retreat but a snow experience week, or as I’d prefer to call it 🔥winter bootcamp🔥

Haha it was such an ambitious project. It’s my second retreat (the first one was mum+kid in Chiangmai in 2019 that’s eons ago) and here we are, up on the mountains, our legs clipped onto boots and gears, as we navigate unfamiliar terrains and unpredictable weather conditions. Each evening at 4.30pm as the slopes closed, I let out a sigh of relief that everyone is home at the lodge safe and alive!

But- in all seriousness, this is EXACTLY how I envisioned the retreat to unfold. Mindfulness beyond the mat. I’ve planned only two yoga classes, and they weren’t even really full asana practices.

Life on (and off) the mountains IS YOGA 🔥 I wished I had explained this a bit more to our snow tribe at the start, but I also intended for everyone to receive this at their own pace, through their own ways of experiencing the mountains.

Do we go hard, do we rest? If our legs hurt, but the way home is long, how do we respond to the helplessness of the situation? When the snow storm hits hard and surprises us, are we afraid or can we internally breathe calmly in the eye of the storm?

I confess: I watched with heart eyes 😍 at everyone of you. I have to hold myself back from freaking out as we split up (some alone!) on the vast mountains, or that the itinerary didn’t go as planned (I am compulsively overcontrolling sometimes and am learning to relax~)

I 😍😍 as you showed up for yourself, for each other, again and again. Every little moment, be it to take on a more challenging slope or an easier one, practise harder “one more ski lift!” or nah, rest and join me for coffee haha. Choosing onsen over yoga, moving your way in yoga, skipping snow monkey tour for more snow playtime, or choosing the rest day tour.

Your yes’s and your no’s are clear and they come from your heart ❤️‍🔥 Mindfulness is never limited to the yoga mat. Being in winter nature has taught us to balance action & reflection, to be a happy child again, and to be present. Thank you my snow tribe for playing together! 🏂⛷️
