Bali retreat ceremony - FI Freedom adventure

Wednesday, September 16
Day Trip from Ubud

Based on your interest, here are some options for the day after the retreat.

  1. Raft the Ayung River, explore hidden waterfalls, intricate rock carvings, and native flora and fauna, followed by a buffet lunch and chocolate tasting. 

  2. Free time (no organized guide or transport)
    You may just want downtime to shop, get a massage, or explore Ubud. Or you may want to book your own day trip, e.g. Bike downhill through the heartland of Bali on secret backroads, experiencing Balinese daily life, rice paddy panoramas, timeless small villages, and Balinese children calling “Hello” along the way.

Thursday, September 17 & beyond
Nusa Lembongan island

Stay on Nusa Lembongan island for 2+ nights, based on your personal preference and flight schedule.
Note: it’s best to have at least three nights in Lembongan; two nights would feel rushed.

I’ll organize group transport to the island via taxi and ferry (2.5 hour journey). Book a luxurious or budget hotel near Mushroom Bay Beach, based on your budget.

Optional free time activities: yoga, relax on the beach, surf or surf lessons, mangrove tour, boat tour with snorkeling, visit the stunning Nusa Pineda island, or pamper yourself with massages.

*Activities are subject to change. 😊

Other pre- and post-retreat ideas

In 2023, 2024, and 2025, many attendees spent several extra weeks in Bali, and participated in additional adventures, e.g. biking, rafting, snorkeling, scuba diving, waterfall or coffee plantation tours, a volcano hike, and cooking, jewelry, or music classes.
