High Vibes with Erina Pompetti

May 13-20, 2023

Indonesia is a land of tradition, culture, and unforgettable scenery. Nestled amongst the rice paddies and rainforests, dotted with temples and shrines, is the town of Ubud, the heart of Bali and home to some of Indonesia’s most famous landscapes.

You are invited to the Island of the Gods, a spectacular paradise, to enjoy 7 transformational nights at Soulshine– an epic hotel rooted in barefoot luxury, wellness, and rock and roll.

We chose Bali for its rich energetic vibrancy and natural abundance — exactly the energy we seek to channel.

Begin your days meditating with the rising sun. Move your body with kindness and care. Sip your morning tea or coffee as you soak in an infinity pool overlooking the lush greenery of the jungle and rice plantations. Savor plentiful organic meals made with love and local ingredients. Experience Balinese culture. Explore secret white-sand beaches. Hike to the tops of volcanoes. Trek to impressive waterfalls.

We designed this retreat to reconnect with life, humanity, freedom, and the elements. To recalibrate and come back to what’s really important. This experience is a celebration, an opportunity to expand, and a call to take back our power in living our fullest lives.

Ubud is best known for its generations of artisans. Wood and stone carvers, silversmiths, painters, batik makers, and weavers; these skills and talents are passed down and carefully preserved. Dancers move gracefully as their hands and eyes tell the stories of lifetimes ago. Bali is a feast for the senses with almost daily ceremonies celebrating the cycle of life.
