In Relation

In Relation: A Psychotherapy-Led Retreat with Balinese Healing

A psychotherapy-led retreat for women ready to understand their patterns, repair what’s been ruptured, and shift how they show up in relationship.

Hosted by Healing Holidays in conjunction with our very good Balinese friends, Iluh and Ketut, we are collaborating to bring this unique, boutique, small-batch experience to women in need — a shared vision of women given time to rest, and women healing together.

Held in Ubud, Bali, this intimate 8-day, 7-night retreat weaves modern therapeutic care with rare access to ancient Balinese practices. Provided by Certified Australian Therapist, Sam Forbes, each element is chosen with integrity, cultural respect, and authenticity.

Your retreat includes:

Daily small-group therapy with Sam Forbes — Professional, compassionate guidance to explore and shift relational patterns, rebuild self-trust, and discover new ways of being.

Private healing with a Balinese priest (Mangku) — A sacred blessing with prayer and holy water, opening space for balance and renewal.

Tri Desna healing — An immersive traditional session working with body, voice, and spirit, releasing what has been carried too long.

Melukat water purification ritual — A temple-based ceremony to cleanse the body, lighten the spirit, and mark new beginnings.

Three nourishing meals daily, plus laundry service — Everyday care provided so you can fully rest and restore.

Airport transfers and local transport — Seamless logistics so you can stay present to your journey.

Spacious villa accommodation with rice-field views — Rooms equipped with air-conditioning, safe boxes, and Wi-Fi; shared facilities include pools and fully equipped kitchens for your comfort.

Optional digital detox — Step away from the noise of constant connection and return to presence.

Custom Balinese gift from Ubud — A keepsake to carry your healing home.
