Bali Pilgrimage

Bali Pilgrimage

Walking with Spirit
March 22-29, 2026

Immerse yourself

in the culture of the Balinese: where indigenous and Hindu healing traditions have been flourishing for centuries. Woven into fertile volcanic grounds, cleansing rivers + and the vibrant spirit of all that converges on this island, you’ll join Kevin’s 10+ years of relationship to the Balinese land and people toward sacred waterfalls, local healers, and vibrant food that delights your senses and nourishes your soul.

Intentions

This pilgrimage is intended to be a cultural exploration of somatic healing practices. While the excursions will be opportunities to enter ceremony and create space for spirit in a Balinese way, you will also be held with care by Kevin, Rachel, and Winchester to discover your own sense + practice of spirit in the body. We’ll explore:

  • Honouring Demons
  • Welcoming Emotions
  • Yintegration
  • The Elements of Ceremony
  • Walking with the Sacred

What will it look like? Here’s our general schedule:

  • Morning yoga, qigong, or breathwork immersed in the mountainside jungle
  • Gourmet breakfast at home
  • Excursion or free time
  • Lunch locally
  • Workshop or excursion or massage time
  • Dinner at home
  • Yintegration or sound healing (with optional community acupuncture)

Where will you stay?

  • Bagus Jati is your home and provides a slice of paradise set in the quiet mountains north of Ubud. This long-standing retreat center has been a home away from home for me for 10+ years and they provide exquisite comfort and authenticity.
  • The kitchen prepares fresh, gourmet meals to start and end the day.
