EMERGING LIGHT: A JOURNEY OF PURIFICATION

UBUD, BALI

September 26 - October 3, 2026

February 17 - February 24, 2027

A sacred invitation to release what no longer serves you and come full circle into your true self.‍ ‍Rooted in the jungle’s potent energy, Emerging Light guides you through a transformational process that draws on Bali’s wisdom, healing waters, and sacred land as catalysts for purification and rebirth.

Emerging Light is a retreat rooted in the potent frequencies of Bali as a living temple.

Here, the lush jungle, holy temple springs and waterfalls become the healing balm for your soul. On this sacred island, one of the world’s most potent spiritual epicenteres, water is not merely water: it is tirta, the holy lifeblood of the earth, flowing from mountain springs blessed by the gods.

In these waters, centuries of prayer echo, carrying the power to wash away what burdens the heart and to awaken the quiet light within. To enter the natural pools and springs is to be received by the island herself, to be held in a ritual older than memory. With each gentle pour over the crown, the past loosens its grip; with each ripple, the spirit is renewed. You emerge not only cleansed, but reborn.

You are lovingly invited to feel, to move energy through you, and to uncover the emotions you’ve been carrying in silence. Through purifying rituals, yoga, meditation, and a supportive circle of humans, you are summoned to travel inward while being held by the outer magic of Ubud.

You are offered refuge, a safe and sacred space, where you can release what no longer serves and transmute old, heavy emotions into higher vibrations of clarity, joy, and freedom.

You will be heard. You will be seen. You will be validated.

The potential to rise into your authentic, powerful, aligned self, the version of you that moves through life awake, present, and magnetic is lying dormant awaiting to be called upon.

This is your time, your rebirth begins here.

BAREFOOT LUXURY ACCOMODATION

Our Sanctuary amongst the rice fields of Ubud

During your retreat, you’ll be staying at a boutique wellness resort nestled among Bali’s iconic rice terraces. Surrounded by lush greenery and the gentle sounds of nature, it’s the perfect space to unwind, rejuvenate, and immerse yourself in the spirit of Ubud.

Barefoot luxury is a style of accommodation that blends high-end comfort with a relaxed, nature-connected atmosphere. It means:

  • Natural beauty over opulence — Think lush gardens, ocean or rice field views, and open-air spaces rather than marble lobbies.

  • High quality, low formality — Excellent service, fresh linens, and thoughtful design, but without rigid dress codes or over-the-top extravagance.

  • Connection to place — Local materials, cultural touches, and an emphasis on sustainability.

  • Ease and freedom — You can walk barefoot on polished wood floors, sandy paths, or grassy lawns without feeling out of place.

In other words, it’s luxury that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and feel at home in nature, without sacrificing comfort.

Single Occupancy Included

Your retreat pricing is based on single occupancy, meaning you have the entire room to yourself, no sharing, no compromise. This ensures you can fully relax, recharge, and enjoy personal space throughout your stay.

The setting of the hotel was so beautiful it gave a feeling of paradise, whereas the design, fully integrated in the natural surroundings added the needed luxury to make us pampered. The king size beds, room lighting, welcoming flowers and stone bathtub allowed us to relax.

On other evenings, you’ll have the freedom to wander Ubud’s vibrant culinary scene at your own pace, no need to rush back for a scheduled meal.

RETREAT With Alexia Berta

Bali is a place where ritual, ceremony, and communion with the divine are not occasional events they are the very fabric of everyday life. The scent of incense drifts through the air each morning as offerings are laid with intention and the rhythm of prayer hums beneath the bustle of the markets.

In Ubud, the spiritual is not separate from the mundane, it is woven into it. This seamless interweaving awakens something in us, something ancient. It stirs a remembrance of our own connection to the sacred, reminding us that life itself can be a living ritual, that every gesture and breath can be an offering.

When you immerse yourself in this way of being, it’s not just about witnessing a culture—it’s about feeling a deep soul-level resonance that says: I remember. I belong. I, too, am part of the great ceremony of life.

To join a retreat with Alexia Berta in Bali is to step into a sacred unfolding, a journey curated from decades of immersion in Asia, where she once lived, and from her many personal pilgrimages to the beating heart of Ubud. Alexia does not take you to places she has only read about she takes you to places she has lived, breathed, and fallen in love with. Each destination is one she has spent significant time in, where the paths are familiar beneath her feet and the faces are warm with recognition. Over the years, she has formed bonds with the land, people, and it’s spirit, opening a doorway for you into the true heart of each place.

Each path walked, temple entered, and ritual experienced has been personally witnessed by Alexia, ensuring that every moment of the retreat is infused with authenticity, intention, and spiritual potency. The spaces she chooses are not selected merely for their beauty, but for their ability to awaken the soul, expand consciousness, and deepen your presence. When you journey with Alexia, you are not simply a visitor you are welcomed as part of a living story, one that invites you to connect deeply, transform gently, and return home to yourself.

Alexia is a guardian of sacred space, a vessel through which the unseen currents of life flow with clarity and grace. As an intuitive shamanic Reiki healer, a seasoned yoga teacher, and a devoted student of ley lines and Hindu cosmology, she navigates the subtle realms with wisdom, fearlessness, and compassion. Her guidance allows participants to feel fully supported, seen, and held, while opening them to experiences that transform on both inner and outer planes.

Born a third culture child and living as a citizen of the world, Alexia possesses a rare and luminous capacity to connect with all hearts. Whether sharing rituals, meals, or quiet moments beneath Bali’s starlit sky, she cultivates a sense of belonging, ease, and alignment. Her deep knowledge of local traditions, spiritual practices, and ancestral wisdom ensures that every retreat resonates with authenticity, safety, and a deep felt sacred invitation.

Ritual is the heartbeat of transformation, carried in the subtle currents of intention and the quiet poetry of detail. At the center of Alexia’s retreats lies a deep reverence for the land, its traditions, and the wisdom it holds. Each experience is curated with devotion and respect, walking gently upon the earth and honoring the spirit of place. Through offerings that nourish the body, awaken the spirit, and stir the soul, every retreat becomes a living tapestry of reflection, connection, and inner alchemy. Here, the ordinary dissolves into the extraordinary, and each step, gesture, and moment becomes part of a sacred conversation between self, community, and the world around us.

“ I wish to share the parts of Ubud that I love, with you. I have cried there, I have danced there, I have communed with the wild beauty of its nature, and I have healed there. Bali has held me in my most vulnerable moments and celebrated me in my most radiant ones. Now, I want to show you that magic, so you too can feel its embrace, its wisdom, and its power to transform.”

- Alexia Berta

Arrival & airport transfers

IMPORTANT:

Please plan to arrive at Denpasar (I Gusti Ngurah Rai) Airport NO LATER than 12:00 PM (noon) on Day 1 !

Our retreat opens that evening and it’s important everyone is present and settled by the afternoon so we can begin the container together.

  • If you’d like extra time to settle in, I’m happy to help arrange accommodation in Ubud for the nights before the retreat. If you truly cannot arrive by noon, this retreat won’t be the right fit because late arrivals affect group energy and the schedule. We want to honour the experience for everyone.

  • If you need support booking a pre‑retreat stay, please reach out for recommendations.

  • Our retreat concludes on the final day as scheduled. If you’d like to explore more of Bali, beaches, shopping, or other sights, please add a few extra days to your trip. During the retreat we’ll be based in Ubud’s jungles, with limited time for shopping or long excursions, and the daily program is intentionally engaging. If you prefer more downtime afterward, consider booking extra rest days so you can relax and explore at your own pace.

Our friendly English speaking drivers will meet you at the airport holding a sign with your name. If other retreat participants arrive within an hour of your flight, you may have a short wait at the arrivals area while we gather everyone, the terminal has pleasant cafés and places to relax during that time.

The drive to Ubud typically takes 1.5–2.5 hours depending on traffic.

  • Peaceful, Less Crowded Atmosphere

    February is outside Bali’s peak tourist season, which means quieter temples, serene rice fields, and a more intimate connection with the island’s spiritual energy. You’ll enjoy Ubud without the usual hustle and bustle

    Nature at Its Most Lush

    Rain breathes life into Bali’s landscapes. The rice terraces turn an impossibly vibrant green, the jungle hums with energy, and waterfalls are at their most powerful. Everywhere you look, nature feels abundant, fresh, and alive.

    Warm Tropical Showers

    Many people hear “rainy season” and picture endless downpours, but in Ubud, rain is part of the magic. Rain here rarely means all-day storms. Most days bring short, refreshing showers, often in the late afternoon or evening, leaving the mornings and much of the day beautifully clear.

    Perfect for Reflection and Renewal

    The rhythm of sun and rain creates a naturally slower pace, inviting you to turn inward, reflect, and deepen your retreat experience.

    Lower Travel Costs

    Flights and accommodation are often more affordable during low season, meaning you can enjoy the same magic of Bali at a better value.

    In a nutshell

    Expect warm, dramatic showers that refresh the earth between bright, clear moments; We build flexibility into the schedule, prioritise sheltered, beautiful spaces and mindful offerings (yoga, circles, workshops) so the weather becomes part of the experience, not a disruption. Practical notes: bring a light rain jacket, quick-dry layers, and waterproof storage for electronics. We’ll handle transfers, local logistics, and safety so you can rest, root, and reconnect.

  • Bright, Reliable Weather and Golden Light

    Late September into early October is Ubud’s sweet spot between dry and wet seasons: warm days (around 26–30°C / 79–86°F), low chance of heavy rain, and soft, luminous light that makes every morning feel open and effortless. Mornings and afternoons are ideal for outdoor yoga, temple visits, rice-terrace walks, and waterfall outings with minimal weather interruption.

    A lively, yet breathable island energy

    This window brings a livelier tempo to Ubud markets hum, cafés fill, and cultural life feels active without the peak-season crush. You’ll find more events and a vibrant local rhythm that enriches time spent wandering, learning, and connecting.

    Prices are higher than Feb

    Because the weather is so reliable and the town’s pulse is appealing, demand for accommodation and services rises in this shoulder-to-high-season period. Resorts and villas command higher rates and availability tightens, which is reflected in the retreat price.

    Practical notes

    Expect steady, pleasant days and occasional short showers; bring light layers and comfortable walking shoes. Later sunsets and gentle evenings make outdoor dining and evening gatherings especially lovely. We’ll take care of logistics so you can make the most of the long, luminous days.

    In short

    Choose late September–early October for dependable weather, warm light, and a vibrant Ubud experience, a slightly pricier season that delivers ease, beauty, and a fuller island atmosphere.

In your words

This retreat is not a package holiday.


It is a sacred, shared journey where every participant contributes to the energetic container we hold together.

If you are not willing to engage in the spiritual practices, then this is not the right space for you at this time.

Our purpose is transformation — and true transformation often asks us to face discomfort, explore our shadows, and move beyond what feels familiar. Stepping out of your comfort zone is an essential part of the process.

You will be called to try things you may never have experienced before, and to cultivate discipline bringing your intention forward in the circle space, holding peace and balance for all. You will be called to dance with your inner critic — and learn to hear your deeper truth.

Every practice we share is designed to open your heart, deepen your spiritual connection, and invite profound shifts. If you are not ready to embrace that journey, this retreat may not be for you.
