Bali retreat ceremony - FI Freedom adventure

Tuesday, November 5
Free time in Ubud

FI Freedom Retreat is "officially" over...at noon today.

Tuesday afternoon free-time options include: explore Ubud, shopping, massage, spa, cooking class, Yoga Barn class.
Optional activities:
2:30 Tjampuhan Spa hot & cold plunge & sauna, 250k ($10). Space is limited.
4:30 Campuhan Ridge walk with gorgeous hillside views. A 1.5 hour easy walk, the most popular trek in Ubud.
6 pm dinner at a special location if you’d like to join.

Wednesday, November 6
Day Trip from Ubud

During our Zoom call in September, we will discuss and choose one of the Wednesday options. I’ll then organize transport and a guide for the chosen activity.

  1. Bike downhill through the heartland of Bali on secret backroads, experiencing Balinese daily life, lush forests, rice paddy panoramas, timeless small villages, and Balinese children calling “Hello” along the way.

  2. Raft the Ayung River, swim in hidden waterfalls, learn about native flora and fauna, and enjoy lunch surrounded by stunning jungle views. Then, spend two hours on an all-terrain vehicle, traversing rice fields and beautiful wilderness.

  3. Campuhan Ridge walk with gorgeous hillside views at sunrise. A two hour easy walk, the most popular trek in Ubud, followed by breakfast at a scenic spot.

  4. Sunrise hike to the top of Mount Batur, an active volcano (1717 meters, 5633 feet) for mesmerizing views, followed by breakfast with stunning Balinese mountainscapes.

  5. Free time (no organized guide or transport)

For additional hotel nights in Ubud before or after the event, contact us for a group rate at the Plataran Hotel.
Or see the FAQ #10 for other hotel recommendations in Ubud.

Thursday, November 7 & 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 bus 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.

Other pre- and post-retreat ideas

In 2023, 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.
